There was an article the other day where someone was saying something like "people who listen to more dissonant music, like heavy metal, may not be as good at hearing nuances in less dissonant music like classical."
That sentence right there is just jam packed with bullshit and misunderstanding.
- autarch 5y agoAh, the most dissonant of all chords, the perfect 5th plus an octave, also known as the power chord.
- raverbashing 5y agoThat's a musical-theoretical perfect burn
- vintermann 5y agoThere's really only one mistake, he's misusing the word dissonant. It's certainly true that being deeply into one style of music makes you pay less attention to the things that don't vary much in "your" music but does vary in "their" music, making "your" music seem more varied and "their" music sound all the same.
