They're my opinions from my personal experiences. They don't mean to say all (if they do), just the people who I've met from those genres and groups. I attack the stereotype more so than the music, but I still don't like the music.

It's still attacking the music, though. Stereotypes are the last thing you should be paying attention to, anyway. That's how the hatred starts.

The stereotypes I've gotten have all proved true for the emos, chavs and indies who I've met. Sorry if this offends, but they're my personal experiences and all these groups have insulted and attacked my musical preferences. So you can see where the animosity and the hatred begins. But I genuinely dislike the music.

I judge music by how it sounds, not how some of it's fans act/look.

If we're judging by sound, I still very much can't listen to pop, chav, indie or emo music... I find it all the bands involved sound the same and the sound just doesn't appeal to me in any way.

Because of this:

---I really dislike having to having go at a noob and I actively encourage discussion but if all you are going to do is post badly written, stereotypical rants about other peoples music tastes then you won't make many friends on here I'm afraid.---

Your thread is an idea virtually stolen from Urban Hatemongers thread yet he has manged to create zero arguments AND be witty and informative into the process. Even if I did'nt agree with your views but found them well rounded and researched well, then you would not have a problem. Your 'Chav' post was a badly written post and as you posted it on a forum, you will then recieve peoples opinions. It is up to you to have the conviction to back up your posts with facts or the balls to forge ahead.

This is not a personal attack (although you may think it is), merely a friendly hint that this thread will descend into chaos and a real shitstorm if you don't accept others opinions even if you don't agree with them. Negating peoples opinions so early on in your joining will put members noses out of joint.

I will say no more on the subject now. I have gave you some advice and would like to think that it is taken on board to some degree.

They are well written but lack detail. I tend to save some key argument details for when an argument insues. Think of the post as an overview than the entire argument.

Urban Hatemonger does his more for laughs than anything. I do mine to simplhy convey opinion.

I think what's missing here is humor. There's stuff to make fun of about every genre of music. Ripping on Emo or Rap or whatever with tongue firmly in cheek and the understanding that there are things that are equally ridiculous in one's own music of choice plays a big part in making the criticisms come off as entertaining instead of antagonistic.

I don't intend to be funny. The most humour I give is the pictures that come with the posts. I'm serious about my opinions.
