Good questions. I have no idea about any of that, but something tells me most deaf people (born deaf anyway) just wouldn't be very interested in music anyway, like how blind people probably wouldn't be very interested in visual art. There would still be ways to perceive it - descriptions, maybe touching the canvas for paintings or things with texture - but since your perception of it would be so limited and secondhand, much of the appeal would be missing. Or maybe it would be like, say, my own appreciation for difficult feats of complex math, like the kind of shit they give people Nobel Prizes for (think Good Will Hunting). I definitely appreciate the level of skill that goes into it, but since I don't comprehend math well at all my level of interest isn't very high, whereas the same stuff might make a math major cream his proverbial pants.Caesius wrote:Concerning Shizune... I really have to wonder if there's genres or even specific songs that one could determine that deaf people in general like. Also, is there a rift between the musical tastes of those who were born deaf, and those who went deaf later? Would someone who went deaf later continue to like the music they liked before? And for someone who was born deaf, could you reasonably determine if they would like or dislike a song by studying the lower portion of its spectrogram without hearing the song yourself?
Yeah, I'd imagine so too. A lot of song lyrics don't have much value as stand-alone poetry, but those that do would be great, especially when the artist's singing voice can be a hurdle for some people (Bob Dylan, Joanna Newsom, Conor Oberst, etc).Scarlet Fox wrote:I haven't read the whole thread in your link, so this may have been answered, but wouldn't many of them like songs for the lyrics they have, and not the actual ~vibrations~?
I hope I didn't miss this being mentioned in this thread (so I don't make a fool of myself), but if I were deaf, I'd imagine I'd like songs for their lyrics as opposed to the physical feeling of them.
Jesus fucking christ.... some of those strike some elemental chords in me. It's been some time since I've gone to ska-punk concerts, but blood's still boiling it seems.TheHivemind wrote:NOFX, Pennywise, Against Me!, Dillinger Four, American Steel, um... Bomb the Music Industry!
The deaf girl said that she specifically hated listening to vocal music that wasn't sung live because it felt strange to have voice vibrations come out of a "box." (And yes, deaf people can tell the difference between the voice and other instruments; on spectrals the voice stands out as well.) She also said that the vibrations were indeed the pleasurable part of music, and that she (as well as other deaf people) would turn the bass up real loud.Scarlet Fox wrote:I haven't read the whole thread in your link, so this may have been answered, but wouldn't many of them like songs for the lyrics they have, and not the actual ~vibrations~?

This doesn't make sense. How can you decide whether or not you like a song before you listen to it? The lyrics tell you next to nothing, and a lot of songs have no lyrics at all.

Like you can read stories to yourself and you can still like them without reading it out loud - though I guess music is a little more than a tad different.
I think it'd more along the lines of just taking the lyrics as stand-alone poetry, although a lot of songs sound great out loud but pretty retarded on paper (Led Zeppelin or early Beatles are prime examples).Caesius wrote:This doesn't make sense.
