Talk:Repetitive music

message: this term could apply to tens and tens of modern electronic music genres. a mainstay feature of house is often looped samples, also hardcore techno and it's numerous subgenres, forms of noise music that have a time signature, and dronology could easily described as 'repetitive music' --MilkMiruku 12:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: while i wouldn't have added what that anon added to the article, are there any references that discuss the concept of 'repetitive music' in relation to modern electronic (and other) music genres which would seem to fit right into the description given? --MilkMiruku 00:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly the source I read talked about these genres, but I don't remember now. Obviously much hip hop, techno, and dance music is repetitive, and many techno artists describe the influence of minimalism on their work, but I'm not sure how to discuss that in the article.

replies: text: This article seems to discuss "repetitive music" as if it's a type of music. It is not a formal type of music; it's only an extremely general way of describing music. 71.255.111.157 02:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: For the record the number of ecstacy related deaths at legal events where the heating was turned up, cold water taps were turned off and aggressive drug dealers sold poor quality drugs were much higher than at the not-for-profit raves. This article talks of "injuries at raves" leading to the Criminal Justice Bill... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.212.141 (talk) 08:05, 20 May 2009‎
The mentioned section is no longer in the article, so it's discussion is probably now moot. Karatorian (talk) 03:46, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ecstasy 

message: The lead of the article seems to be biased in favor of negative "death instinct" interpretations of repetitive music. While some of the darker metal genres probably do use repetition to that end, I'd argue that disco, house, and related electronic genres don't. Furthermore, if one isn't a Freudian, the entire "death instinct" thing is kinda' fishy. This part (apparently) used to be it's own section, but the title wasn't appropriate (and may have actually belonged to the second section) so it was removed, which leads to it appearing to be part of the lead in the current version.
I was tempted to slap a big NPOV tag on it, but I decided that might be overkill. There seem to be references to support the interpretation, so it appears to be a prevalent view. Still seems off though, so I'm tagging it Undue Weight. Karatorian (talk) 03:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. There is also no good reason to quote Adorno on this matter whose views on jazz were borderline racist. 91.49.216.188 (talk) 17:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unduly Weighted Towards Negative Interpretations 

message: This article strikes me as somebody's college essay.  "Repetitive Music" isn't a genre or a formal practice, as the opening sentence implies, and there's little aside from a superficial property linking these styles and works together.  The article should probably be merged into Repetition (music). 12.216.215.162 (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
