What Sucks About This Genre: Ambient Edition

How can this suck? Kiff, I'm asking you a question! :D

I’d be surprised if anyone said they hated ambient music, because it’s not really trying to do what other genres are trying to do. Ambient music is about creating an atmosphere or a mood. If you dislike ambient music you dislike film scores, which I doubt anyone here does. You may not actively listen to it on its own, but everyone can appreciate ambient music in its proper uses

Yawn.

It's a thing that exists.

I dislike several film scores.

I think the genre can stand to evolve beyond synthesizers (it already has, obvs, they're just the most prominent). Also, it sounds a bit oxymoronic, but I think percussion is very underexplored in the genre.

3 suck.

I meant the art of film scores in general

It doesn't; it's great.

Drink a few Monster energy drinks and listen to this. It's how we all got started.
