Is My Music Pretentious?

<< < (21/35) > >>

phooey:
Explain to me again why grasping the concept of a Bose-Einstein condensate is less difficult than that of music theory, please.  I must have missed it the first time around.

ETA -

Okay, sorry for being sarcastic.  I don't know which bit of our conversation you're trying to make a statement about - that so much of it is theoretical and impractical to the average person such that they don't know that it is happening?  Or are you saying these are pretentious, overcomplicated words and concepts that we use to bolster our own glutted egos?  Or some other thing?  I'll probably disagree, but for discussion's sake.

KharBevNor:
Specifically the post above mine. I was just whacking off some random star-trek style technobabble off the top of my head.

Perhaps I could feel differently about music theory if it did not seem to be a subjective and arbitrary set of ideas. As far as I'm concerned, if there is more than one possible way of explaining something that has equal validity then both ways of explaining it are probably wrong, or worthless, or just some shit some dude made up that seems to work some of the time. See psychiatry and religion.

a pack of wolves:
Can we presume English is the correct language then, since it's the one you're using, and all the others are worthless?

Why do you think that people who are not like you are somehow wrong?  That does nothing but highlight your own limitations.

Be My Head:
I would headbang at a Stravinsky concert; people rioted at the first performance of Rite of Spring.

I think part of the problem has to do with people treating this music as being "sacred". It's music just like any other, and we should be able to enjoy it as we see fit.

Movie music is enjoyed by millions, so I don't see why we can't have some badass ballets with explosions and gunfights.
