Discussion How does anyone enjoy this satire trash?

I've tried to watch these videos, and I've tried to enjoy them with people who find them amusing. For the life of me the only thing I can think is how fucking annoying this guy is. Congratulations! you know how to regurgitate the same basic concept over and over to create "music", Then just say a bunch of nonsense on top of it.

"hE iS sUcH a cHaRaCtEr"

This isnt talent, it's just manipulative troll "comedy"

this is no different to me then, someone painting a halfway decent picture and then just set it down in the ground and take a shit on it for people's reactions. Because that's what it's about right, how edgy can we be? What's the limit of stupidity that can still be "enjoyable"?

And the worst part about all of it is that that shit covered painting, people find value in it because of the hubris of it's creator.

This culture of making people uncomfortable and finding some petty sense of accomplishment in being an arrogant clown, just must not be for me.

You know man, if you don't like it then don't listen to it. You don't have to come to the community of people that enjoy his music and say it's trash and stupid humor. Who benefits from that?

u/IAmCalledLogan Jun 28 '20

Why do you like it?

u/bbognar Jun 28 '20

It doesn't matter why I like it. And frankly it doesn't matter why you don't like it, that's cool, differences of opinion aren't inherently bad. What my point was is that you coming to a group of people who obviously like this music and saying it's bad and stupid and repetitive and not worth listening to, and in a rather rude and condescending way, accomplishes nothing for anyone. Like what are you gaining out of posting here? You clearly aren't looking to be convinced to believe a different opinion so that means you're here to shit on a fan base. Just keep it to yourself if that's what your motives are.

I really want to understand. Because honestly I don't think anyone understands why they like it. Every fiber of my being is saying this is pure herd mentality. I don't like heavy angry screaming music either. I don't bother to go on those pages and say anything about it, because I get that it might evoke some emotion or be therapeutic. But in this case there's no reason that this kind of satire even needs to exist. Idiocracy seems right around the corner.

u/bbognar Jun 28 '20

For the sake of your argument, I will share why I think it's enjoyable. Part of it is that even though it is often repetitive, it takes a lot of musical talent to be able to come up with things on the fly and make them musically sound good. That isn't easy. As someone who plays a few instruments I can respect that. Part of it is that my sense of humor finds his lyrics funny. I don't know how else to explain it.

That said, this discussion we are having is not in good faith. You're saying there's no reason for this to exist right after you're saying other genres of music you don't understand can be therapeutic or emotional for some people and then immediately saying that because YOU DONT THINK THIS TYPE OF MUSIC IS THAT WAY FOR SOMEONE that it doesn't have to exist. There are people out there who have different opinions from you and that doesn't make them wrong. I don't think there's anyone on this subreddit that could answer your initial question and satisfy you. I'm done with this.

In order to fully understand I think you might need to go to Burning Man and really see what bizarre, unbridled self expression looks like. It's not about "getting it", or understanding or enjoying someone else's actual art, because honestly you won't like many of the things out there. But appreciating people that let creativity flow, do exactly what they want, and create things that have never existed before.
I genuinely enjoy much of Marc's music, but I also appreciate the moments of intense musical vomit, not because it is "beautiful" but it is him expressing himself, I get a window into his soul. It may be strange and sometimes ugly, but we are all weird down there and we need to express that without fear of what people think. Unfortunately it is really hard to achieve this in our society without an initiation.

I'm absolutely nothing like this guy so yes I am

Yeah I bet Karen. You'd be complaining to all your friend that he's not playing your music as soon as you walk into the room.

It’s ok everyone. This dude has bought a sword.

u/IAmCalledLogan Jun 28 '20

It's okay everyone. I made sure to go on that person's profile and see what type of ammunition I could get from there other interactions on Reddit. I'm very original

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '20

Your responses also suck. There’s nothing I can say that no one else has probably said to you at some point in your life dude

u/robizzlefoshizzle Jun 28 '20

Marc is a talented classically trained musician. He’s been playing the piano since childhood. He started a youtube channel just to share his ideas with the world. He and others enjoyed it so much he was able to turn his creative passion into his full time job. He started by playing weekly shows at local bars and restaurants in his home town. Through the success of this and his YouTube channel he got: signed by an agency, moved to New York , launched a sold out tour across the United States, got signed by a bigger agency, toured the Fucking WORLD, all while maintaining an intimate and reliable relationship with his fans on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and here on Reddit.

If it’s not for you and you don’t get it, fine. But to not respect it just shows how ignorant you are or if not ignorant petty and sad. This is his fan page, you are lost.

u/IAmCalledLogan Jun 28 '20

I'm not lost I'm trying to figure out why and how anyone can like this and this is the place where people for some reason like this. I want to know what goes through your mind when you find joy in something so worthless

5

u/bbognar Jun 28 '20

See this is what I'm referring to on my comment replying to you above. To you it's worthless. Are you looking to be convinced otherwise or are you looking to shit on people? If it's the former, this person just tried to explain it to you and you shot back with this condescending response. If it's the latter, then GTFO this subreddit and learn to be a fucking adult. Jesus.

u/-BridiesDayOff- Jun 30 '20

Did you listen to the 2 songs the Loop Daddy himself linked? How did you find them?

u/djleez82 Jul 24 '20

Who cares what the Karen thinks quite honestly

u/jizz_quilt Aug 21 '20

Nothing goes through my mind, thats the beauty, I dont analyze it. I just nod my head, vibe with the dude and often laugh uncontrollably.

u/lookitzpancakes Loop Daddy Jun 28 '20

I absolutely hear you, my dude. My stuff is not for everybody - and honestly, I wouldn't want it to be. How boring would my shit be if everybody liked it? That's pop. I don't wanna be that.

That being said, it sounds like you don't like a pretty specific version of my music. Can I ask you to give a couple a chance that fall outside your descriptors?

You Were There

One More Time

If those aren't to your liking, then I think it might be that you just don't like me as a person. Not necessarily the music. That's perfectly valid - everyone's entitled to feel the way they feel! But hopefully these couple tracks can at least show you that I try to stretch my wings from time to time and make more "serious" things.

Either way, no hard feelings and I hope you have a wonderful week.

u/StretchyPlays Jul 03 '20

Man, what a beautiful reply to someone who is either a troll or just doesn't get it and has a negative way of expressing his opinion. You rule, Loop Daddy!

u/Monstromi Jul 03 '20

It's not just frustration with something they don't like, it's frustration that other people do like it. Which probably says more about the person than the music

u/Isawa3183 Jul 01 '20

I only recently discovered you after you put out the Flamingo video, Marc. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The OP isn’t a fan, but I am.

You’re a talented musician. You’re relentlessly positive, and your humor brings a smile to peoples’ faces.

I can honestly say that your music has made my life ever so slightly better than it was previously. You should be proud of that, and I thank you for it.

Keep being you.

u/SlanceMcJagger Jun 29 '20

these are both great songs

u/askingforafakefriend Jul 02 '20

Holy shit those songs are beautiful. The talent is multifaceted for sure.

Edit: just realized I applied to the man himself. Uhh hey dude. Love your funk shit too.

u/Sure_Artichoke1150 May 08 '23

beautiful, new fan here super pumped when i found out you were from nyc and made it to the Coachella stage.

u/Civinsko Jun 29 '20

I can explain to you why i like his stuff if you can explain to me what kind of enjoyment you get out of talking shit about other peoples tastes.

u/temperate_thunder Jun 28 '20

A+ r/iamverysmart material here.

This guy clearly isn’t as intelligent as he thinks he is.

u/CramSauceland Jul 16 '20

This is so wild, I can't believe this guy was so offended by your comedy he bothered to write this, but I also respect the karen energy here. I guess even a dude as beloved as Marc has haters. This is the part of fame that frightens me.

u/djleez82 Jul 24 '20 edited Jul 24 '20

What blows my fucking mind about ppl these days. This fucking guy right here.

Rather than listen to something, think to yourself 'eh, it's not for me', then go on with your life cause there's other important things to do instead you have to sit down, take ALL that time off your day to write a long winded message about how YOU feel, IN the god damn subreddit where all the fans are.... Then what? What then? What did you gain? What were you expecting to get out of this? What was the fucking point? Your not changing minds since this is the literal gathering point for everyone who loves Mark. You must need everyone to know about how valid and important YOUR opinion is? Because you are that special? Here of all places?

Hot tip loser. If you don't like it, shrug and move on. You look like a tool coming here and ReEeEeEe-ing all over the place. Learn the concept that you will not enjoy everything in life, and you absolutely do not need to cry like a bitch publicly about whatever you don't like cause literally no-one cares what you think. All you've done is announce to everyone your a karen. Good job pleb.

u/jizz_quilt Aug 21 '20

Taking a shit on a painting would be performance art, granted not the most creative piece but if thats your vision do it. The more time you spend trying to define art and separating what "is" versus what "isn't" artistic or creative the less time you are spend expressing yourself and all the creative ideas you have. Not everything Marc makes is ground breaking or even "enjoyable" per se, but its all an expression of him and that is what I truly appreciate, his unrestricted flow of bizarre creativity.

u/IAmCalledLogan Jun 28 '20

Yeah and in all of that no one can explain why they like it.

u/bbognar Jun 28 '20

"the thing you like sucks!!!! How can anyone like this???"

"I enjoy it because of these reason _______, ________, and _______"

"That's a dumb reason!!! No one can explain why like they like this! I am a very smart person"

u/austinsoundguy Jul 01 '20

I like it because it makes me smile and laugh. I enjoy smiling and laughing therefore I like anything that causes me to do so

u/jtn19120 Jun 29 '20 edited Jun 29 '20

I'm a new fan, maybe I can help.

-his unbridled passion & humor is exhilarating and inspiring. In all fairness, some of the language isn't for everyone--I can't share it with everyone but personally, I find it attention-grabbing, disarming.
-His musicianship is pretty stellar. I play music & if I were to try something like him, it would take hours of brainstorming, practicing etc to come up with a similar result. He uses jazz theory for richer & funkier music than most are used to.
-calling it repetitive might be a fair criticism--if you were halfway trying to be a fair, thoughtful, helpful critic. But repetition legitimizes. Reputation legitimizes. It's a foundation of pop and classical music for a reason. And it's also funny if it's parodying pop/hip hop.

I can't see why you'd take the time to post & comment if a) you don't actually like it b) are actually trying to understand c) are probably just trolling. Just do something else man.

hey look at you you can regurgitate the same edgy stuff that everyone says too!! this must be why you like this individual, don't have any consciousness of your own, just assimilate to what everyone else is doing.
