He needs to have sex sweaty with Olivia Rodrigo :)

*sweaty sex
Damnit

why does he spike his hair up

He's a genius. Most people here are incredibly jealous of his brain. Pic related sums it up quite well.

People who look like him love him.

OP

>knows how often this thread is posted
>posts another one any way

What's the deal with this guy?

The thing is I really like his videos explaining music theory and concepts. Honestly this guy as an educator / communicator really adds alot to the world.

His albums on the other hand are just awful.

Maybe he needs to become like a Steven Drozd type musician, join a band and make someone else's vision a reality.

People who know the most about music theory tend to make garbage music because they overthink it. You can't think about music theory when you're writing a song. Do not think about it. Do not use it.

it's like witnessing a once-in-a-century talent use his powers for evil

when i say i hate white people this is what i mean.

Its not the music theory that ruins it, just that its nothing without other traits like sensuality, imagination, etc

he turned that sza song that was on a radio for a while into a masterpiece

Well you should know what the major scale is, and the chords in it, at least, but beyond that don't even bother.

When it stops being something I can actually feel i stop paying attention

wrong, people who know a lot about music theory tend to make garbage music because they spend all their time learning how to make music instead of actually making music.
Jacob Collier doesn't make music because he has something to say, he makes music because he wants to put his theory knowledge to use.
Bach knew more theory than everyone alive combined, but he made music to praise God, not to show how good he was. As long as you have a real emotion, a real reason to make music, it can be good, but if you're making music just for the sake of it it's gonna suck.

It’s the haircut.
Same thing as Paulie D.
Knows everything about music, makes shit music.

Music theory is kinda useful when you're in the middle of a song and you want to make a chorus and you can't think of one. But you can just look up the chords you're using and figure out what mode you're in.

he's kinda like Hitler in that sense (and many others)

Jimmy Neutron of music
