not talking about specifically just a general statement about straight white guys who would describe what they like as 'misfit club music'

not sure about the "misfit" part, but thinking the "experimental electronic" part of the title might determine the content on the thread
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Saturday, 13 October 2018 04:11 (five years ago) link
except that's also a shitty descriptor but really the 'misfit' part is exactly what frames the thread. music is social bruh and this party blows.

Yeah. It is a cringey title but uh... maybe getting heated up about a thing that isn’t really in this thread?

suppose i should've gone with the "ambient/chill out to infinity br00s", or whatever that thread is called. apologies

*waves goodbye to all the straight white dudes who can't dance* so sorry i'm going back to ignoring your horribly titled thread

Does noisy electronic stuff really code as strictly Straight White Male in 2018?Idk, haven’t kept up with this thread, but some of the best stuff in this ballpark has been made by trans, women, poc these days.

Oddly rankled by that maps snipe still.Came of noise age in the Wolf Eyes/Hair Police/Prurient era and I still like that stuff, but the angsty hyper masc white dude in black archetype is so much less of a thing now. It’s infrequent, but I still occasionally hit up warehouse/house/hip-yooth-venue electronic~dance~noise events around here in Baltimore and there’s literally almost always a super forward lgbtq, women, poc inclusive vibe, performers and audience. And if you aren’t with it your ass is out.

hey map, thank you for barging into this thread with the assumption that i am a "straight" "dude", you're really contributing to the dialogue here
also, thanks tons for making my inability to dance into a moral failing, it's totally awesome having my developmental disorders characterized in that fashion

i'm actually a perfect fit for every club can i still post here

I suspect drinks may have been taken...
I'm straight and white! Can dance a bit. Which sounds like a pound shop version of Fred Astaire's screen test.
Does this mean I can stay?

On the contrary, you may only stay if you're a straight white dude who can't dance at all.
In all seriousness, though, those were some fucking awful, FP-worthy posts, map. The whole 'it's alright to bully people who can't dance and/or people who like to listen to music on their own' shtick needs to die a definitive death unless you're targeting white supremacists or something. Especially since the scene under discussion is hardly lacking in diversity, as other have pointed out.

Agreed with rushomancy and pomenitul above, also want to say that 'misfit' is a perfectly fine word to describe music that isn't easily categorised and doesn't easily lend itself to a communal clubbing environment, this is all I ever imagined it to mean.

as a field report, i played a show monday night in a loft space with a bunch of experimental/noise/drone people and 1) it was super fun 2) everyone was friendly 3) music was good 4) they let me play which is a sign of inclusivity because i am a nobody 5) there was no dancing but it was very relaxing and enjoyable. not sure it would have gone down like that 15 or even 10 years ago but that is conjecture. there was no dancing but there was also no posing or assholery. just good times!

The new Vessel is pretty dazzling, lots going on (strings/voice/harpsichord, and some crazy bangers with more synths and percussion)

Also, a guy I knew during college released this album today. It's firmly coming from the academic/modern classical world, but some of the percussion and synth pieces are pretty sick. Caroline Shaw is on it too. https://open.spotify.com/album/0vnugwgpCKwNapsyJPLNbe?si=BQuXuySOSomb9oOeuod8zQ
