You can't change MB, and apparently you can't be bothered to show up, but you can complain? Wrong.

What do you mean I can't be bothered to show up? What is that supposed to mean?

All things change, it's all that is certain

I wouldn't say Ethan's close-minded when it comes to genres, I mean as long as you don't go round going 'that's **** because i don't like it' then everyone is entitled to have their own particular taste in music, why the hell should it be his job to love every genre? i hate some genres....regardless of if there are certain bands i like from them the general quality of music from certain genres of music i can't personally stand. I'd hardly judge Crowquill on that.
I've not in my entire time here seen him be close-minded in saying you're **** because you have a different taste in music to me, apart from the first post i made.....but that was a long time ago!
I geniunely think if it weren't for Crowquill this place would have died out by now and i'd have stolen all the members for my forum-making obsession o.o

I think it's more the fact that you're only open to one idealised type of music. Sorry if this sounds stupid because it is hard to explain so I'll give an example. I like thrash metal - I find it to be a fairly consistent genre and while I listen to it because I like the musicianship and energy etc. I doubt I'll ever consider a thrash metal band to be one of my favourite bands ever. This is because I am open to the ideals of thrash, but most thrash bands just aren't superior enough for me to consider them my favourite band - they don't have my preferred ideals.

What I'm saying is, I guess you set your ideals more by lyrics, vocals and a certain type of instrumentation which you find to carry emotion. If the instrumentation is technical, you are less likely to judge it as emotive. While my preferred ideals tend to lie in atmosphere and progression, my ideals are open so I can enjoy many types of music. Here are a few examples of musical ideals based on genres:

Prog rock = Progression, songwriting instrumentation, technical instrumentation, atmosphere
Punk rock / thrash metal = Immediate catchiness (opposite to progression), riff dependent, energy
Jazz = Songwriting instrumentation, Theory instrumentation, technical instrumentation
Post rock = Atmosphere, progression
Folk = Lyrics, acoustic instrumentation

Rather than saying someone is biased towards a genre, sometimes it's better to say their musical ideals fit certain genres. Of course, these are only ideals and there are thrash metal bands with progression, jazz which focusses more on immediate catchiness and folk which uses electric instruments.

If you want I'll see if I can find any examples later on. I'm a bit busy with studying right now.

I know I technically have no right to be calling you out on this, but if you're going to give Ethan a hard time, how can you not consider anything of this your own biased opinion? That was basically just a non-insightful, slanted rant of Ethan's taste in music and genre standards.
