Y'all need to stop saying shit like “songs with the same bpm”
Beats per minute is a unit. The word you’re looking for is tempo.
If two songs have the same tempo, their bpm are equivalent.
You wouldn’t say two people of the same height have “the same inches.” You would say height. So stop saying two songs have “the same bpm” when you can just say tempo
I’m an assistant band director don’t argue with me
I have a music degree and taught for over a decade. You can say BPM or tempo it’s basically all the same. Don’t let the classical music snobs get you down
Oh no, I made a post voicing a pet peeve of mine and suddenly I’m a “classical music snob” even though I’ve been playing baroque flute for over a decade professionally…
Yeah I mean… Well there it is
Only reblogging this to say leave this person alone? idk who they are, I just know they’re getting hate, called terrible names, and being told to kill themselves. 25,00+ notes over a pet peeve? chill the heck out maybe.
nah a lot of those 25,000 notes are ‘agreement’ notes. it wasnt a rant post or a pet peeve when it was getting notes initially. it wasnt an ironic joke post either but OP said it was later. OP isnt getting any comments on this post anymore anyway because they deleted the original. it came off as an attempt to tower over the people on this site and change culture. tumblr posts are very influential so if people didnt respond negatively to this, in a few weeks we would stop saying BPM entirely. this shift is more important to me than one person being told that theyre not the ultimate authority on musical terminology. i kind of wonder how theyre treating the kids in their classes. this kind of backlash is absolutely necessary.
lmao are you fucking serious?
Do you even know me? No, you don’t. Literally if you would read with the eyeballs god gave you, you’d see all of my fucking posts explaining that this was written in frustration. If it comes of pedantic or preachy, it’s because I was pissed the fuck off at something that happened. Most of the notes are not in agreement, most are telling me I’m a dumb twat with a stick up my ass, and the anonymous messages I received this morning were all concerned with where I can stick a trombone and also how I should kill myself. I had an emotional reaction and reacted to it on a social media platform I felt safe on, especially considering I only have a handful of followers and expected just my personal friends to see it and sympathize with the struggles I go through, as they know first-hand how frustrating my job can be.
My kids are amazing players who I love with my whole heart. Sometimes, they drive me crazy, but they’ve accomplished 3 amazing shows this year, winning multiple awards for their talent and overall sense of friendship and cohesion I taught them is invaluable to a strong band.
I never said the original was an ironic joke post–yet again, use your eyes. I said the reply to saintbasel’s post was, which is the source of most of the hatred (i.e. calling me a snob and making fun of me for being a flute player)
Who the fuck do you think I am that I want to “tower over people” on this site? You’re absolutely mental if that’s what you got out of my post. It wasn’t an attempt to change culture, and I feel truly sorry for you if your reading comprehension is so low that you can’t discern emotional reactions from authoritarian writ.
tumblr is burning to the ground and yet you retards insist on continually fighting huh
