Synthetic's the only style for me, sorry.

What jess is going to say.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Beatles and the Blues, I've been known to enthuse about Marley, Dylan and Cash and Bluegrass now and then, and I don't know who Grisman or Coyote Oldman are. But I never use the word "real" to describe the music I love. Real music isn't necessarily good, good music isn't necessarily real, and in fact I think all music relies on fakery, simulacra and the suspension of disbelief to work its magic.

What happened to your record collection, btw? (Oh, and you don't have to use all capital letters. Unless you're angry.)

I used to - until you asked the question that way.

I'd reckon that 'real music' is a relative term, no? I may consider 'real music' to be something completely other than your definition, yet by framing your particular tastes as 'real,' you automatically cast an exclusionary slant to your message. I suppose what I listen to is 'fake music' then?

Thread Hijack:

What would be a good moniker for music that is not "real"

e.g.
Musique
Musesque
Museaux
Musi-mania

I love real music too. Saint Etienne, Girls on Top, Human League, Marvin Gaye and many, many others.

Ersatz pop-style music analog is the one for me! (Rephrased from a pizza my wife bought once with 'ersatz mozzarella-style cheese analog'). I love Joseph Spence and Underworld, and I refuse to accept that one is any less 'real' than the other. It's a very silly term.

She/he/it emailed me "what is synthetic?" but then the account disappeared. Maybe she was getting too many replies in her inbox.

― Dare, Tuesday, 7 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Fishstick" is the perfect genre name for Alien Ant Farm.
