I thought that's what we were arguing over for the most part...

My old roommate exclusively listened to lots of radio-friendly rap music and generic straight-edge hardcore music.

Even now I shudder in memory of our time together. :banghead:

What G3? No, I was referring to thechnical playing in general. G3 is crap.

wow, this thread is way more popular than i expected. onto #9...

9. Anybody who gauges their taste in music based on how 'br00tal' it is

a.k.a. Metal elitists

You know what the number one beef I have with other music forums? It's this. A handful of guys there may run around with a good sense of humor and know what they're talking about, but for the rest of of them, they somehow managed to stave off a coma listening to incendiary, super-caustic heavy metal that sounds like it was produced in the depths of a trash can somewhere.

This is coming from a guy who thinks Scum is tasteful and well-made.

If you're going to judge music based on its ability to hemorrhage your inner ear, I really don't care where you came from or how many times your brother tried to feed you to your dog, you're still an idiot. I really don't care about the latest string your guitarist added to his instrument or vocals that sound like the singer is undergoing a tracheotomy. If your love for music stops where you can hear the difference between 'super blackened green death metal' and 'technical zoomacroom symphonic metal', then you're a tosser in my book. Cut your hair and learn why underground metal scenes remain underground.

Because they're awful.

Great entry, I rofl'd a few times in there.

btw Scum is wonderful. lol at 'technical zoomacroom symphonic metal'.

Haha, this whole entry was great. It's funny, on the flips side of this there's another group of music listeners out there who suck: people who only like music that is "soothing". You know who I mean, the kind of people who keep smooth jazz and easy listening stations on the air and who view music not as an art form but as some kind of relaxation device similar to a massage chair.

Well, when yer right yer right.

I love you.

br00tal = win :(

this.

i just clicked on that link and this advertisement for the website started playing (it was creep)

....there's this thing called hyperbole, and of course I think I'm right, just like you think your right

...how's that supposed to make them not suck?

....I remember when I was 9 and I was listening to nirvana, and my dad told me I should listen to the "original punk-rockers", so he played me some talking heads--so I thought punk rock sucked so I avoided it for many years.

....why don't I add christian rock fans into the mix.

when i was a kid, my sister had a huge stack of beatles vinyl, and 45s.
i was like, 6, and listened to them on my close-and-play repeatedly. i thought they were great, and my sister enjoyed filling my head with every single inane factoid ever known about them.

F.F. several years and see me in the 8th grade. by now i'm well on my way to being the school stoner, and grades are falling like...things that fall down....
so i sign up for this music class about the beatles thinking "easy A".
i got my A without even trying. however, fate punished my academic laziness by putting me in the same class the next year too. i wanted to pull my eyes out with a pudding spoon. it took years of drugs to wash that stuff out of my head.

pink from the blood of the unicorns i slaughtered to obtain it

How about Take That fans? Nirvana fans? Westlife fans? Abba fans? (Notice how I include Nirvana in the midst of a bunch of obvious crap for added effect :D).

Ahaha, that was an awesome entry!

If I ever again have to endure an album full of 'relaxing' panpipe adaptations of well-known songs, I'll shoot myself.

It's not. It wasn't a comment on the quality of the band (though personally I do like them a lot), it was a comment on what indie fans listen to.

Yeah, a lot of people have kind of a crappy taste in music when they're 9. It's okay, I won't hold it against you.

Yeah but he still hates Talking Heads even in adulthood so you CAN hold it against him.

What about those Jonas Brothers fans? *vomits* Or do they get a thread all to themselves? :laughing:

If they annoy you that much stop hanging around little girls.

Cue! Im glad someone appreciates that the likes of Westlife & Take That are a load of bollocks!

Those guys play panpipes?

Most adults-usually in their mid-30's get tired of listening to music--but occasionally they'll buy a cd so they can have inoffensive background music for dinner parties or washing the dishes, or making love---like the talking heads, or that new john mayer album.

Talking Heads? Inoffensive background music? Are you kidding me?

Dude, I was the DJ for my brother's 19th birthday party and I actually played Talking Heads 77 and Remain in Light.

Mom told me to turn it off when it got to Adrian Belew's guitar solo in The Great Curve, for she thought it was too raucous, and she's a hair metal fan.

I knew I liked you for a good reason.

it's not that they get tired of listening to music... it's that they get tired of being told what 'good' music is. they get tired of having to defend their tastes to people who's diapers they've changed. they get tired of that same bogus argument they were having 10-15 years ago when they were finishing high school / starting uni that, thanks to internet message boards, will never not be in the spotlight. even those who are still interested in new music get bored with the same constant flow of 'debates' about the merits of this band or style vs. that band or style.

what someone listen to is NOT relevant. why they listen to it IS.

Why don't you tell us what offensive foreground music you enjoy, asshat?

I found that statement quite funny considering I got a load of Grindcore & Noise albums recently.

I think it was joke, brah.

8. Second-gen Nirvana fans

Kurt Cobain is such a weathered punching bag. Immortalized upon his death in 1994, we’ve had scarce precious moments since that day devoid of some sort of slavish obsession with his music. Whether it comes from people lamenting the latest succession to the Twenty-Seven Club or the idiots from VH1 Storytellers, in some form or another Kurt and his band Nirvana have been shoved down public throats in gross detail for about fifteen years. For me, it was a bit of a different story.

Like most other people my age, I really couldn’t give less of a damn when Kurt Cobain died. I’m sure my day was spent just like every other happy five-year-old. Nirvana remained on the radio in solid repeat for a good ten years afterwards (and they might be there still, I don’t know), so I was fairly acquainted with their music. Well into my teens I began to see people – people my age – pay homage to the dead celebrity with butchered covers of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” rank throughout talent shows and garage band performances.

I didn’t understand.

Maybe it was their neediness for a hero, but these kids my age were stepping back ten years or so and latching onto a man who ironically disdained the commercial pap smear that music had become. Whatever their reason, there seemed to be an upshot of idiots that incarnated the fucks brigade incorporated as “the last great rock band”. Since when did heroin abuse and an uncompromising obsession with Neil Young constitute a musical genius?

It didn’t stop there. Fast forward five years or so, I’m in my early twenties now. My first few bands are all projects of my friends and somehow I’m still subject to overexposed morons who grew up on a solid diet of bullshit and Nevermind. Even today, I’m constantly reminded of the conversation I had in seventh grade with a fat fuck on the school bus exalting the virtues of some washed-up grunge band that long outlived their welcome. He said he cried the day that Kurt Cobain died.

Yeah, I would have too if I would have known what blind, toady cunts his death would conceive.

<3

I guess there's no convincing someone who has listened to as much talking heads as you have how bad they are. They just seem uber-contrived, pretentious and totally phony to me, but thats probably mostly to do with my particular life experience.

...no I'm being completly honest about how terrible they are.

Bring the Horizon fans <--- that band sucks

yeah, August Burns Red too.


i honestly can't see why people are so enamored with them, they sound so bland and uninteresting

Why not just do one on hardcore/metalcore/screamo fans (or whatever that shit is)

you're right


post it up!

Musical Genius (n). Any musician(s) associated with drug abuse and Neil Young obsession.

This is going in my signature. Brilliant.:clap:

*Alarm Bells Ringing*- I like Widespread Panic, Phish & String Cheese Incident are alright. Just glad you didnt mention 'Tea Leaf Green' as they are insanely talented. Nothing wrong with a bit of jamming once in a while.
No, I was reffering to the first part of his post. Sorry I should have made it bold to make it easier for you.

Ah, so Westlife and Take That are br00tal metal then? I thought they were teeny-pop.
