Give me Disco. At least they knew how to play goddamn instruments. Club music is club music. Disposable, a product of its time and social scene. Stripped of its 'newness' and its social context it barely qualifies as music. Purely functional, and purely intended to keep the cattle dumb, wasted, and self-satisfied before the slaughter.
Ok it is true that there is sense in which dissensus is an exclusive members club although clearly it doesn't stop you from limboing under the velvet rope. The sense in which it is an exclusive members club is that there are a few fundamental assumptions shared by the majority of people here and not challenged in any serious way by the minority of dissenters.
There are battles which have already been fought and won. There is a conversation with a history, a series of moves, we have got to a particular point collectively. We have a past. Certain people have been laughed out of town, certain ideas have been laughed out of town.
"At least they can play their goddam instruments" is obviously not going to get any traction here. "Purely functional" tends to code as compliment in this context. The keep the cattle dumb stuff will only invite sneers. This is because dissensus is a long running conversation in progress. Because it has a past. It's NOT an exclusive members club in the sense that anyone can crash that conversation and willfully ignore everything that has been said in the past, ignore all context and sensibilities, be snottily provocative to no end, but it IS an exclusive members club in the sense that that sort of behaviour will get short shrift.
You're more than welcome to mount a forensic investigation into these basic assumptions and biases. I would welcome that. They're not necessarily built on solid rock. They are, essentially, pre-intellectual, pre-rationalisation. They are the Things We Like, in the way a plant grows towards the light.
I don't really see the point in just ignoring the people in the room, calling them all stupid, and then getting annoyed when they dismiss you. This doesn't seem to me to be a recipe for success.
