So do all of Hunter's projects philosophically connect in some weird way or is he just batshit insane?

Thomas Moore
Caleb Perez
Basically, he read Thus Spoke Zarathustra in high school and thought he had something to add on to Nietzsche's thought (which is very clear in Renihilation and Aesthetica) when the reality is that it's just a jumbled mess that hasn't been developed. He's not insane, but he's not really on to anything.
Easton Peterson
My only question is, is this album any good at all?
Gabriel Brown
No
I regret even skimming out of curiosity
Matthew Carter
dude i know, it's hilarious right?
at least he roped in greg fox for a bit there
Jordan Nelson
yes.
listen to this
youtube.com
Brody Morales
he was reading nietzsche in high school? is thus spoke zarathustra an easier read than beyond good and evil? because i tried to read the latter and i couldn't make any sense of it
Angel Sullivan
Nietzsche is pretty easy philosophy in general, but Zarathustra is a very poetic work consisting mainly of allegories depicting Zarathustra's life. Basically it is a bible for nietzschean philosophy.
And yeah, high schoolers can likely read it pretty easily
Joshua Jackson
well that makes me feel dumb
Ian Diaz

if you're actually interested I think this is an interview in which he most clearly explicates his thoughts. It's pretty interesting honestly.He is most certainly very knowledgeable about much more than just Nietzsche.
Luke Hernandez
...
David King
he has a phd in philosophy guys
James Morales
It's easy as far as philosophy goes (i.e. it's not fucking Levi-Strauss) but keep in mind that reading philosophy is different than reading anything else.
There is a constructed language in philosophy that can be hard to grasp for beginners. The content of Beyond Good & Evil isn't particularly challenging but I'd guess you had trouble getting used to the language.
Keep at it, it's worth it!
Logan James
Nietzschean philosophy is basically a refined version of the romantic mindset most of our culture is based on, and can be summed up as "who cares if it's not nice as long as it's cool?" which of course is vague enough to be twisted into all sorts of fucked-up things, such as HHH's music.
Isaiah Moore
>measuring the quality of someones philosophy based on how hard it is to read
modern academics, everyone
Jace Campbell
He has a website where he explains all of the concepts of "his" new school of philosophy. I don't understand it because there are a lot of references to big boy philosophers and abstract concepts but it seems to at least somewhat cohere logically. He's not insane, he just presents his thoughts (whatever they may be) in an insane way.
>HEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Austin Thomas
Last time I read his website it was a load of bullshit.
link?
Brody Bell
I'm reading through it and although he seems a little more lucid and less delusional than in his interviews, his philosophy is still a vague, elusive mess of empty new age references and dime-a-dozen observations about the world.
Isaac Wright
i found this website
Joshua Hill
"The main reason, I think, to be candid, is that the release of my Kel Valhaal album went so badly. Pitchfork absolutely eviscerated it (and me). After that, hardly any other review websites would touch it. As much as I'd like to not take something like that so seriously - the review was so cruel and shaming that it made me question the validity of my entire project. "
Grayson Reed
Well it should.
The fact that he questioned the validity of his project but somehow didn't give it up, speaks volume on how stupid he really is.
>am I that out of touch?
>no, it's reviewers who are wrong
Tyler Reyes
>The fact that he questioned the validity of his project but somehow didn't give it up
this kind of but more like, if a review makes you question it then maybe you aren't doing it for the right reasons, but even then it's reasonable to feel insecure sometimes, it's just got to be tough for him having been so favored before
Sebastian Barnes
I really liked it desu
Blake Foster
It has two great tracks (Tense Stage and Ontological Love) but the rest of the album is just filler.
Logan Smith
It's my electronic AOTY
Asher Richardson
>he cares what pitchfork thinks
So he's an Cred Forumstant?
Ian Clark
no way, prove it
John Scott
HHH has created not only a new musical genre, but also a whole new filosofical-musical-aesthetic wave. 30 years from now he'l be in every college textbook
Ian Roberts
Reviewers are usually wrong tho
Ryan Moore
black metal theory was born way before hhh's manifesto tho
Ryder Green
iirc he just has a bachelor's degree
