Thanks, I hate it.

Lol The music makes it sound like it should be on the CW.

[(Anonymous)]

Must have loved that new Emily Dickinson trailer...

I really agree with you about the whole modern music thing, especially if it's hard rock or heavy metal. It just throws me out of a period piece. Actually, I don't like music much at all, so there you go.

[(Anonymous)]

Like you’d complain if it was romantic period music.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh? How would you know what OP would complain about?

[(Anonymous)]

It’s honestly not a terribly bad assumption when the music of most period stuff is anachronistic, which is why using modern music is fine.

[(Anonymous)]

Fine for you. Does it really bother you so much that OP might have different preferences? The secret even says that "roughly around the same time period" would've been okay with the OP, so they're okay with some degree of anachronism, just not modern music applied to a period drama. That seems fair to me. But even if it didn't, I'm puzzled as the logic behind telling someone else that you know better than they do what they'd be fine with.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, don’t know about the OP but most of the time when people complain about the music being too modern they mean it shouldn’t be pop or rock but wouldn’t care that the music in the Joe Wright Pride and Prejudice is much more modern classical for example because all classical is the same to them.

Anyway minuets are fucking boring.

[(Anonymous)]

But what are your thoughts on the Ballets Russes and crepes Suzette?

[(Anonymous)]

Minuets are NOT fucking boring.

I find pop music a bit jarring/annoying in ads for things that I expect to be faithful period pieces, and I admit I don't tend have that problem with modern classical (though classical music is NOT all the same to me), but I also think that jarring quality can be used in a way that, like... creates interest rather than turning me off! It's all about how it's done.

It can be jarring in a way that makes you think about the past as being more real, can break through people's notions about music from various periods being 'boring' or appealing only to old people, the juxtaposition can be a reminder that the music of the time was to these people as our music is to us. It can say something about a character to pair them with a song people might know.

Whether it's done well or badly is a bit like pornography, to me-- I can't explain it, but I know it when I see it.

[(Anonymous)]

Though I did like in that Pride and Prejudice that they actually had characters play the music at times! (Lizzie played it badly, Georgiana played it well, Lady Catherine would have been a great proficient, had she ever learned.)

But yeah, it was about 60-70 years too early for that kind of music.

[dinogrrl]

Not the OP, but I've been known to rant about details like that. God help them if they don't use correct period instruments, too. :p
(Such anachronisms are rarely enough to keep me from enjoying a show or movie. Just one of those fun nerd things I like to seek out for my own amusement.)

[(Anonymous)]

DA Beethoven was contemporary, so that wouldn't be a problem.

[(Anonymous)]

The soundtrack for Ladyhawke still makes me laugh. Synthesizers, of all inappropriate instruments!

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, yes. Typical of the 80s, though...

[(Anonymous)]

True. One of the reasons I can't get into 80s nostalgia. Once was enough. Although I still love that movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Never watch Harlots, then. They use modern music with heavy bass IN the show. (Effectively, I thought.)

[(Anonymous)]

It was an odd music choice, yeah... But tbh I'm more confused about WHY the main character is running around with her hair loose even when everyone else has theirs tied up.

[4thofeleven]

Depends on the time-period, of course; Regency era, sure, stick with period-appropriate music, but if it's medieval, please don't - music from then is terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not true at all though.

[(Anonymous)]

It all sounds like it's played on kazoo.
