2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

They're not inconsequential but they're at least not divisive enough to get me killed, this time:
Well those are 4 superficial takes
More: -Wagner's philosophy to music is a disgusting and world-ending kind of attitude. He became racist out of anger of being ignored by mendellssohn, supposedly; a fun fact.
Ok you lost me there, that is an incomprehensible sentence
I love that some people feel that way, considering I have a spectacular butt. Especially when those people have a killer rack.
My rack leaves much to be desired, but congratulations on your butt, good effort!
Thanks, addiction to bicycling does wonders
tiny boobies and big ol' butt is literally the perfect combo. big ol' boobies stretch, sag, and get veiny with age. butt just gets bigger. thinking long-term
What next, are you going to warn me that if I order lemonade I'll get something both sweet and sour?
Sure when I was younger I only liked pert breasts, but in my 30s I like the bodies of women my age (and a fair bit older tbh), sags, stretch marks, veins, and all
You're into stretch marks, saggy boobs and spider veins?
Well, I'm not one to yuck someone's yum, have at it! Good for you!
It’s downright blasphemy!
What part of Wagner's views specifically are you referring to? (The music I mean, not the racism since that's just a whole big, sticky, knotted mess to try to unpack.) But yeah, are you referring to Gesamtkunstwerk?
I often hear it said that he felt music should always tell a story, rather than just being something to listen to; one of a few reasons why he focused on opera. He only approved of music connected to story telling. I think music ~~transcends~~ spans story telling and also it's own space, of existing just to be listened to (e.g background music) and doesn't have to have storytelling intentions.
Otherwise ambient music shouldn't exist. Classical pieces that are purely technique and not thematic - which many chamber music pieces are - are disowned.
I might just misunderstand him. I actually didn't know that much about gesamtkunstwerk until i read up on it, so clearly my knowledge isn't comprehensive.
I think that's starting to turn around, I've seen more appreciation for brutalism and mid century modern recently.
