invent something truly of your own please, euro-america.

truly. someone to rival abdulkadir meragi.

Popular music doesn't count. It must be talked about 800 years later.

It might be shit, but your Western European music is middle eastern makam forms gotten wrong, so I have no reason to heed your opinion.

some good things have come out of "proper" music (or any art) gotten wrong.

of course. Jungle is techno gotten wrong/bastardised, 2step is new jersey garage gotten wrong, UK Funky is in part defected house gotten wrong.

But Oasis is just wrong, full stop. the fact that mister benny b got into it after rave music says a lot, and how he's returned to it. In fact, I have a feeling Benny got Luke into this atrocity. and for this reason he must be executed.

There's a difference between taking an existing genre and consciously putting a new twist on it (which I'd argue was the case with 2Step and UK funky), and trying to simulate an existing genre but being too uninformed or unskilled to pull it off (aka "getting it wrong"), and creating something else as a result.

Lots of 80s post-punk bands liked dance music but had no idea how to make "proper" club tracks, so they came up with a different dance sound. James Chance really did love Ayler and James Brown but wasn't skilled enough to do either of them justice, so you end up with the Controtions and James White & the Blacks.

Thridform talks more about Oasis on here than anyone else, I reckon he secretly loves them but can't admit it.

why would I love them? we invented ardkore in the 15th century when u lot were mucking about with petite melodies for aristocratic nonces.
