God this thread made me laugh


bottom line, Trends are not cool, they make you seem like you have no mind of your own (regardless if that is indeed the case), and they die out soon. Scene fashion is a trend. And it can't end soon enough.

I understand how someone can say, "Hey, I really don't like GY!BE." But saying, "Damn, GY!BE really sucks at making music, writing songs, and playing instruments" is simply a lie. You'd have to be deaf to not acknowledge their proficiency.

and c'mon Urban, black IS white! Didn't you hear?

No one said that. I said they were boring and uninspired.

Well to most of the modern world a common connotation of those words would translate as bad.

Yeah dude, **** that uninspired progressive music


and I apologize if that didn't make sense. To be honest I smoked almost a quarter gram about 10 minutes ago. And I'm really high

I do consider GY!BE a prog band, though they do not sound anything like any other prog bands, they share several of the same tendacies.

Don't forget horrible. You pretty much said they sucked in so many words and that is completly inaccurate regardless of wether you like them or not.

Big deal. I like what I like and what I don't like is crappy post-rock. You don't like mainstream music exclusively if this thread is anything to go by, but you don't see me minding.

^everything you said was fine until you called post-rock crappy. They're doing more than you musically and doing what they like. That does in no way denote they are crappy. And sure close this thread to end a real debate but that will cause stuff to bleed into other threads.

Well it's when you go beyond just not liking it and calling it crap. I don't call all mainstream music crap nor do I hate it all.

My opinion is it is crappy therefore I reserve the right to say it is so. Big whoop. Not everyone likes to buy into this type of music, get over it.
