Counterpoint: If people from Europe love the metric system so much, why are their musicians using eighth notes instead of tenth notes?
We do, it just depends on the time signature.
Silence your foolish mouth!
We do?
Ever listen to Meshuggah?
Fuckin A!
You can but isn’t as nice
I want you to try counting 10/4
While you are counting that switch over to 10 hour days. There is no reason there has to be 60 minutes in an hour or 60 seconds. 12/24/60 are just divisible well.
10 hours days are not standard. Music time signatures are different depending on the music and composer preference
Everything is 1/1 if you stop being a nerd.
I’ve played in 1/1 and its terrible
Ok, understood.
My brother! I literally came to comment “If musicians love the metric system so much, why do they still use fractional notes?”
Obligatory Fuck Reagan for killing our conversion to metric. We were well on our way in the late 70’s. We hadn’t dropped Imperial but most things were dual labelled: Speed limit and distance signs, weather stats like temp and precipitation. A few gas stations were charging by the liter but that was more to mask the true cost during OPEC embargo. The only thing that stuck was 2 liter bottles of pop and drug dealers knowing the metric system. And having to by 2 sets of wrenches and sockets.
Ukraine elects a TV personality … they get Zelensky.
We do it and get Regan and Trump … what the heck man.
From what I’ve heard he wasn’t such a great peacetime president either.
True, but in the same situation, Trump and Reagan would have surrendered even before the invasion.
I can’t think of anything good Reagan did, but he was not in bed with Russia. His “border wall” was space lasers.
And liquor! Comes in ml!
It’s a yardonome you ignorant swine.
it’s a gardognome you ignorant leprechaun
wrong sub buddy, go back to !dadjokes
They’re called thetubenomes in UK
It’s US customary, not Imperial.
Jfc.
Just fucking wrecked my brain, tyvm.
In music, metre or meter refers to regularly recurring patterns and accents such as bars and beats
They learned from the poets about metrical feet!
Is a beat a metric or Imperial unit?
No one actually cares about what measuring unit they use. They use whatever is in front of them.
Why are you euros so easily offended by measuring units? Seems like an odd thing to be upset about.
If the imperial system is in front of me I sure as hell am not using it.
No one cares
Apparently you do, enough to write a comment.
I think they’re all just pissed that fahrenheit is so ridiculously superior
Of course they are pissed. In nature, it is common to see random stuff mixing together to get a cold temperature. Of course you’d define this as 0. Then you define freezing water as 32 and define a random person’s temperature to a even more random 96. Piece of cake.
How are these morons even able to understand that water is freezing approximately at 0c and boiling at 100c. This never happened ever in nature. Why choose something so unimportant to life like water?
“oh yeah, salted ice based system is clearly superior”
statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged
Just look at the name. They measure metrosexuals not meters. /s
I just looked it up. They measure law.
Well shit
Do Europeans use metrinomes now?
Asking the REAL questions! Probably playing the Freedom scale instead of chromatic as well, if you just walk up all the white notes it plays the national anthem.
