On a different note, what's wrong with electronic music?

There's a disconnect between it, and me. I can't find anything I like about it. How innovative or great
grtwhtgrvty is something I don't hear, or agree on. I feel like he's just trying to make something dull, shine. It's possible I could find something pretty neat if I tried. But honestly, that desire to do so just isn't there.
Go check out the Title Of Record by Filter, I felt it was better than Short Bus. You might like it better. I feel Filter did produce songs that were interesting and unique in some ways, but you're talking to a guy that really likes the band, and Mr. Know It All
grtwhtgrvty is calling me bland for liking them and that I'm an idiot that doesn't know what he's talking about. Whatever, kind of done or don't even care to waste time on people like him with nothing good to say.

No. I'm talking about you referencing Katy Perry because when I talk about the state of music with my friends, we don't reference Katy Perry or the top 40 because it's static. It's always going to be there. It's always been there. It has nothing to do with anything. Referencing Katy Perry and top 40 reminds me of those youtube comments that are like
YOU SAY LADY GAGA? I SAY NICKELBACK
YOU SAY KATY PERRY? I SAY LINKIN PARK
90% OF TEENS LISTEN TO ****TY MUSIC. IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE 10% THAT DOESN'T, POST THIS TO 10 PEOPLE.
Like it's just immature to reference Katy Perry and top 40 music in that context.
Actually I watched 20 minutes of it.
Yeah this is a misunderstanding. When I talk about the MTV mentality, I'm not saying he likes MTV. I'm saying that he only pays attention to what is right in front of his face. He only listens to what is handed to him and what is within his immediate culture. That's why he references EDM the way he does. EDM is tired and static and everything sounds the same. Even all of the EDM artists are saying that. If you go to the EDM production subreddit, there is constantly threads about how static the genre is. This dude references EDM like it's this new wave of hardcore innovation when it's literally the most static genre out there. Mainstream pop is more dynamic than EDM. That's why I'm saying he has the MTV mindset. He's used to music being handed to him. That explains his narrow minded viewpoint on EDM, and his lack of music knowledge in general. People who are actually on the cutting edge, listening to the new experimental sounds, sifting through the trends in alternative music -- they aren't referencing EDM. Only an ignorant person would reference EDM as innovative. It's just such an outdated point of view.
Ad hominem.

Richard Patrick. Been in the music business since 86', multi-instrumentalist, producer, successful to boot, but somehow doesn't know sh*t about the industry or what's going on in it, you're judging this about a guy you know nothing about, and have only watched one single interview from him where he expressed some opinions about the COMMERCIAL/MAINSTREAM music scene.
I talked with Richard the last time I saw Filter live. I asked him what he thought of the obscure bands, indie music, electronic music that you glorify
grtwhtgrvty, and he had some pretty profound and knowledgeable things to say about it. Don't be a f*cking prick dude, because you don't know the guy or what he thinks about the things you claim he's oblivious to.
But you can keep acting like you do. F*ck if I'm going to take your opinion seriously when its been pulled out of your ass.
You're also doing the same thing with me. Judging me on just a few things I've said here, how credible my knowledge is, like you f*cking know me. You're not going to last here man. You're going to keep touting around your know it all attitude, and people are going to get tired of it and run you off.
You're going to reply to this with assumptions and insult my intelligence, what I know. But you're going to be talking to a wall because I'm done dignifying what you say with a response.
