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?"
