That's the problem 90% of modern prog rock autists have. Their music is technically intricate but completely soulless.
You seem to misunderstand where I am coming from.Its simple austrian economics and people like Nirvana and something's value does not always come from its labor, I teach guitar and do a lot of super shreddy stuff along the lines of Buckethead or Marty Friedman and have a few people paying a lot for private lessons learning Necrophagist level technical stuff
I hate Nirvana personally, but I also understand people like Cobain because he speaks to them at some level and a lot of super technical types forget that music is about what speaks to people at a personal level rather than pure technicality and ability
First off: I am not complaining about Cobain not being "technical enough", I am saying that there isn't anything particularly special about his music. You don't have to be progressive rock in order for your music to have substance. Plenty of technically simple music exists that is still substantive.
Secondly, progressive rock is not the only technically demanding music that exists and it's ass specifically because it focuses on it's technicality rather than letting it's complexities come naturally. Beethoven's Missa Solemnis is technically complex but also highly emotionally effective, and speaks to me on an emotional level far more than Cobain's music. Acting like using theory in composition is ONLY going to lead to empty wankery is an absolutely braindead stance to have that hurts the medium.
I mean, highly depends on the composer. Some do look at things through such a lens, others don't. Regardless, channels like this do not even say "the composer 100% knew that he did this" it's simply explaining why something sounds a certain way specifically so that those who would want to write music that sounds this way know how to do so. 8-bit music theory even makes this clear in his titling.i can't get into stuff like 8-bit music theory or similar channels for almost the same reason. they try to look at pieces of vgm through this hypertechnical theoryfag lens i doubt even the original composers themselves had in mind mostly. hell it's more likely most of them had SOME grasp of music theory but just went off by "vibes" a lot of the time
