Greetings /mu/sic-philes,
I have an honest question. First I preface.
As you guess, I'm a /pol/ack, but don't close the thread, I'll keep it musical, I was a fervent musician once.
In the first bar of nearly every song, you can immerdiatley tell what color the singer/ musician is, So I wonder something peculiar.
This subconciously effects the way we all listen to music, as music made by our own ethinic group sounds best to us, even this is true in rap, with eminem. rap is degenerate, tbh
Do you ever question which race a song belongs to/is more appealing/ makereted to?
For instance, there is no question that """hip-hop** is artificial these days and used to brainwash blacks.
But there are plenty "grey" songs, such as jass tunes, sung by Ella fitzgerald, that were composed and accompanied by whites, sung by blacks, and appealed to both. In fact, the Jazz Age was the only time in human history where two totally foreign cultures converged and produced anything,
So my question is, How could this happen?
It is biologically 'difficult' for anyhing to appeal to widely different races. This is still seen today, while american blacks have notably different diets and other preferences
Moreso, "chinese food" in american restaurants is in fact americanized recipes from china, there are similar dispersons in sports as well as music.
While Blacks obviously prefer chants and drums under spoken verses, nobody knows what asians listen to and whites have their own genres.
But for a short moment in time, a free-form genre emerged, appealed to difference and was only defined by the fact that it was new (early rock was considered jazz).
The most signifigant example I can find of this is Miles Davis. While I do understand, that he had a portion European blood, as do most american blacks, it's still hard to imagine a 1920's northern town where the races were physically segregated, listening to the same bands, such as buddy rich and benny goodman, and later, duke ellington.
Anyway, thoughts and discussion are appreciated
