In all seriousness - we're actually blessed to be able to listen to whatever music we want whenever we feel like it these days. Have you ever thought about the fact that most people back in the middle ages could only listen to music on some special occasion or at random when they were lucky enough to come across it? Pretty mind-blowing.

[@abbyjohnson8200]

Yeah. Unless they had a musical instrument, they did not hear music very often unless on the street or if they were wealthy and could hire musicians.

[@mr.l8527]

@Alejandra Serena A bit glorifying but for the most part true. People sang often when working and (just like today) musicians could be found in urban marketplaces, playing an instrument for gratuities. Singing was really a part of life. Whether singing hymns at mass, while working the fields, at sea or even at war. People filled the silence and monotony of life with stories and song. But if we're honest (and historically accurate), life was hard and very boring for the average person in those days. Also, many people were alcoholics as the most consumed beverage (for thousands of years) was any form of beer or alcoholic brew. Even children drank alcohol. They drank alcohol more often than water because it was thought to be safer to drink than water. So yeah, music wasn't hard to come by and those with extraordinary talent, intellect or wealth were able to contemplate, tinker and philosophize, which brought about revolutionary ideas that gave birth to the renaissance but your average person toiled away and often lived a short, booze-filled and boring life. All that aside, I have to admit that some beautiful art and music did arise from those times.

[@abbyjohnson8200]

@@helend7542 I learned that somewhere. Yeah.

[@toasterofdoom9629]

@@helend7542 It depends. Some people had access to clean drinking water, some people didn't. If you didn't, you drank alcoholic beverages. If you did, you drank the clean water. The big thing is that alcoholic beverages keep far better than water, especially on long trips.

[@duschphobie]

well, singing exists, as well as hand percussion. music was a big part of culture, taverns, inns, outhouses etc. all often had bands. choirs were a big part of culture too, especially bc of the church. you’d hear singing, humming n hand percussion a lot probably!

[@vianperspective1888]

brilliant coment hahaha

[@leoprzytuac3660]

As I understan it, the style depends very much in the focus a society has in a given time period. You have to consider that during the medieval period in all of its extension, pretty much every artist was under the command or at least influence of the religious powers, most of them working directly as free lance artist (so to speak XD) for the church. The religious point of view of the time was intentionally reflected in the paintings, directing all atention to god and making humans appear more simple and small. Theocentrism. The paintings start to become more focused on human anatomy again when anthropocentrism slowly takes the focus.

My brother, Wigheard fought for the kingdom of Wessex against the Northman invaders. When he came back he wasn't the same, he wouldn't eat right. It was terrifying what happened to him. But when we went to the tavern and heard this, it brought back emotion to his once dead eyes. He sang along like his life depended on it. That was the day he truly came back from the war.

[@anhthiensaigon]

​@@FiggsNeughton he means people often find history interesting in retrospect without suffering what the contemporary human suffered. if someone's about to get killed, or be ripped off by his lord etc., probably wouldn't think the era he's living in interesting. We often unconsciously associate the love for music with the love for a lifestyle. It's understandable since music has profound impacts on us. Of course it's possible to be super interested in a historical period but one has to read a lot to have a concrete idea about it. Therefore certain people on the internet might find loving an era solely for the music during that era superficial and would like to gently criticize it as in this case.

[@christianboulay4722]

@@pacceli2009 Totally understand and agree. Unfortunately trash metal, or heavy metal is dead. Covid-19 and Trump becoming a president has proven that. Trash/Heavy Metal was about song that deeper message, a message with a deep rooted strong stance against the corporate world leading people to its demise. Metal was against power hungry oligarchy, it was about signing against the naivety of Man fully pledging their trust to the hands carrying a dagger behind its back. Megadeath had Dystopia album. But Metallica unfortunately, basked in the approval from corporations such as BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). Instead of Metallica musicianship about the absolute lunacy of the Government coming up with mandates, telling people what to wear i.e. facemasks. We've been lost in the repertoire of corporate news drilling people's heads with how to wear masks and keep social distance, (should be called unsocial distance). We've succumbed to medical lunatics, who tomorrow might mandate people to wear Mickey Mouse ears as it helps shield from Covid-19. I apologize for the reply taking a darker turn, my mind is preoccupied by lunacy I'm witnessing unfold.

[@pacceli2009]

@@christianboulay4722 I agree with you man, only thing is it is not only Trump, all politicians are like that. Democracy was a lie from the begning; "if we can be striped from the right of coming and going, then it was not a right in the first place, but a permission". Regarding metal, I listen to alot of it, mostly is all I listen to, thrash, black, death, symphonic, power..you name it. But most of the bands nowdays are sellouts, and make pathetic generic crap, all sounding the same and talking about the same overused subjects. All they care about is selling and pleasing their label masters, while looking "rebelious" in their leather jackets. Non of them have the balls to go against the dogmas of this century or attack those in power directly. At least, we still have the old records to listen to, and some hidden gems in the underground.

[@christianboulay4722]

@@pacceli2009Truly well said. Chuckled at the sellouts "looking rebellious". Most of them are little poofed pansies, tell em' booh! And they'll run, crying for a manager to hide behind. It's exactly the way they turned the music industry, into an "all seeing eye" parade . If you like old school metal, can't do wrong with Testament, Overkill, Satan (recommend Satan's album:: Court In The Act) pretty phenomenal for Old School Analogue sound, it's reminiscent of Death By Hanging/Hypnotized by Heathen.
