Post songs that are encapsulating or a particularly accurate/poignant embodiment of Beta Quadra mentality.

Maybe I'm offbase, but to me, this is Beta:

[Golden]

This, too, but again, others may not agree (to me, it's using Ni):

If you look at the litle bar with the smiley button on it, right above where you post, its the last one on the right in that line of pictures."Imbed Media."

[Gilly]

Immortal Technique is Beta as shit, probably some Ti-SLE 6w5 sx/so or sx/sp.

The song I linked to is my favorite song possibly of all time--that guy blows me away.

Love Queen too.

this is beta-style psychic programming



NiFe escapism...

Muse is the most Beta modern band, no question.

[Gilly]

No way. If there is any "most Beta" modern band, it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Oh, that may be true. Muse is still pretty fucking beta though.

[Gilly]

I suppose they could be Beta but I don't think it's any more blatant than a group like, say, My Chemical Romance:

[Gilly]

Also sublime:

omg, rly..pepers & chemical... well some more gayness



one more, sorry

[Nick]

The trend with beta musicians, is that they'll either be obviously beta without any distinct character, or just archetypes of it.

[bullet]

whatever that means, that does sound smart, yay for nick!

this seems to be that other thing nick's talking bout


or not so really ??

[Nick]

Actually that video seems more alpha-driven. And lol @ post-modern diversity in the glorified graveyard. //slits wrists

What I'm saying about betas, is that they tend to work in absolutes; it's common to both aristocratic quadras, but more "artistically" pronounded in β. Since their themes are internal and recursive, there's only so much room for expression. This is also why they form groups based on personal differences, but can resemble each other strongly, at least in terms of operation.

lol holy shit how did I forget all those names. MCR is pretty god damn beta too.

[Gilly]

Yeah the MCR video is a bit Alpha in terms of how it's put together, too, but the aesthetic concept is vastly more Beta, as is the sentiment. "the savior of the broken...the beaten and the damned..."

Yeah, Muse really isn't *that* pronouncedly Beta. Also they fucking suck.

Yeah Betas pretty much universally hit or miss, in just about everything in life, lol. I guess that's sort of the nature of Ni/Se + Ti/Fe: ride the train until it crashes.

Several of the songs I've heard by them seem to advocate a world dredged in chaos and anarchy, which seems like a pretty beta > gamma thing to say.

Yeah but saying they are "the most Beta modern band" implies a lot more than that their lyrics incorporate Beta-esque ideology. Their aesthetic isn't really distinctly Beta; in fact, it isn't distinctly anything, which actually points AWAY from Beta

Alright, I was too hasty in saying that they're "the most Beta modern band," so I take that back. Their lyrical content is still pretty fucken Beta, regardless of the aural aesthetic they attach to it.

[Gilly]

Well lyrical content is only one aspect. But yes, I see your point.

Ok good

[Gilly]

See, this is why I have a hard time pretending to be an Ne type.

[Starfall]

Both are pretty IEI'sh, anyway.

[Nick]

Yeah, I remember thinking 'Creep' was pretty IEI.

A Perfect Circle (Maynard's newer band) has some lovely odes.






eye on what I came for, then I'm out the door again...

What is why you have a hard time pretending to be an Ne type?

[Gilly]

Because people with your style of humor make me either go blank or get pissed off.

[Galen]

lol poor gilly can't handle the extreme Fi from little ol' galen

[Gilly]

No, it's just that your style of humor pisses me off. It has fuck all to do with Fi.

[Galen]

But I don't see what's wrong with it!
