Reminds me of this passage form the National Socialists’ rules regarding jazz music:
So-called jazz compositions may contain at most 10% syncopation; the remainder must consist of a natural legato movement devoid of the hysterical rhythmic reverses characteristic of the barbarian races and conductive to dark instincts alien to the German people (so-called riffs)
First syncopation is not the same as back beat. Syncopation is about changing emphasis within the music; just because the 2 and 4 are stressed doesn’t make it syncopated.
Second, this guy is a moronic, racist, shitheel so I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise he’s lacking in music theory
“But you can’t change the beat”
Historically, moral panics over jazz, the blues, r&b, rock, etc., have been basically driven by plain racism. White people listening to music coming from Black communities has always been seen as a threat to the purity of White culture. Describing it as ‘the devil’s music’ has a long history. For example, this is why noted white supremacist Henry Ford was active in promoting square dancing as a safe, purely white activity, with no apparent Black or Jewish influence.
Masturbation is totally cool on its own, but you’ve got to avoid settling into a syncopated rhythm. It’s kind of like walking on the sands of Arrakis.
This is some bullshit, on all sorts of levels. Good luck to you.
In the bible belt in the Netherlands there’s some churches where they will even only sing with each note having the same length, as having any semblance of an interesting melody will apparently lead you to the devil. It’s a wonder they even allow different notes in a song.
When your argument amounts to “Not clapping on 1 and 3 is the work of Satan” you should probably just shut the fuck up. No need to try and back it up with racist bullshit, just shut the fuck up.
Is it just me or does anyone else now have the Bioshock version of Jesus Loves me going through their heads
well, the guy debunks himself quite effectively. 
though it’s rather scary that people exist that take this kind of bullshit seriously.
More like talking out of his posterior lobes, immorally.
Not even thinly veiled
She was a shudder Negro shudder, so she was already demonic according to this guy
First thing I listened to for recovering from that utter nonsense.
I’d like to hear his take on the Doobie Bros ‘Jesus is Just Alright’, especially considering where the band’s name came from…
I’ve been working on a piece called “Asymptotic Syncopations”. That should blow his fucking mind.
Another example of Christian bat-shit crazy, as if we needed one…
