Good. One of us.

:laughing:

Fluffer.

If you mean literally everything, then you haven't been paying much attention.

But yeah, shame on me for liking harmonic interplay, a.k.a. a facet of music known for centuries to be pleasing to the human ear.

Someone's getting wise to the fact that they're a poseur. A unique taste is more refined than a walking cliche any day.

You're pretty much exactly what I'm talking about as the opposite tbh. I think you basically fell in love with punk and then nerded out on how to be a proper punk (with obvious post-punk elitism) and years later you're still filtering everything you hear, from music to politics, through that lens rather than forming real opinions of your own. There's no way a real human being who was in command of their own music taste would be like you.

So you're trying to say that I should try to not be like everyone else? I'm just being me, whatever that makes me compared to others.

Ja, you really break those misconceptions with the one funk artist that you listen to.

In what universe is post-punk and punk not generally quite immediate? It's one of the main virtues of both genres.

One of my main genres is all this "boring" singer-songwriter stuff that doesn't exactly jump out and grab you by the throat with powerful pop hooks, but it's definitely not 9 minute long complex and multi-layered fusion jazz exercises either.

To me, music is 95% about the "vibe". How it makes me feel. Immediacy or lack thereof is neither (despite what I said about punk) positive or negative. It's just a neutral qualifier.

Although I definitely love a good, shameless pop hook. There's a reason I love Lady Gaga <3

So what're your favourite ambient records?

Refined my ass

Just like metal! So that's a favourite of yours as well I gather?

I'm not so sure actually. I've found that, under the right circumstances, most people are prone to have those "hey that's actually not bad at all" moments with something a bit off the beaten path.

Either way, I'm not really sure you have good reason to see me as the musical Antichrist. I did quite like that bit of kraut rock you threw my way recently and I've liked various post punk bands you've played as well. I also got along very well with the first The Cure album (didn't listen to their other albums because I quit that thread for other reasons).

I'm more than willing to give things a chance, so maybe drop the attitude? Sorry about that time a while ago where you felt I was being rude and I just doubled up on offending you. You know a lot about the genres you're passionate about. You do not have boring tastes. I'm not being sarcastic, btw. I feel like that has to be made clear.

Uh huh.

So is post punk. You gonna disown the genre now?

I still like a thousand things that make you twitch with rage, so you can always use that against me.

You introduced popular reception into the equation.

I don't even know what you guys are arguing about anymore.

Rockabilly and early rock n roll is thoroughly part of generic punk dogma.

And you're not a walking cliche how?

is this thread only being used for personal attacks now

These aren't attacks, this is an inquisition.

Can't be, since I expected it.

This ain't Spain, this is a bureaucracy. Everyone expects the bureaucratic inquisition because they receive 5 appointment notices leading up to it.

Then I guess you just naturally have a limited ability to appreciate music. I feel bad for you, bruh. You should feel bad too.

Scene: At a punk show
Scenario one: Guy asks "What do you guys think of rockabilly?"
Scenario two: Guy asks "What do you guys think of hip hop?"

Which question receives more scoffs?

it's v punk to like all the right punk things

Just own it tbh

for some reason, this comment made me literally laugh out loud

Oh, well punk and hip hop must have identical audiences, then.

Do you own deriving your personal identity from it?

Which one would you scoff at? I will tell you if it is consistent with my experiences with punk folk.

Check out I Don't Like ****, I Don't Go Outside and let me know your thoughts.

Let's not pretend we're not all elistist *******s in some capacity

Just because I'm better than everyone here and everyone who I've ever met doesn't mean that I'm an elitist.

I'm not an elitist either. It's not my fault everyone else doesn't get why my tastes are superior.

Especially Elphenor. **** that guy.

Well then maybe you can reverse it so that your entire persona is based around being a pinko. Either way you have a limited scope.

Are you implying your ****ty taste in music has no effect on your ****ty personality

People on here think I have **** taste in music. They also think I have ****ty taste in hair.

I have to say, it doesn't bother me much.

At least elph can get a little taste of that pootenanny when he needs some.

Caring what other ppl think about you is so early 20s
