Musicbanter Taught Me Something

I've noticed that with Violent & Funky.

He seems to like bands for the exact same reason I seem to hate them, and vice versa.

I totally agree with Urban here.

I listen to what interests me, not what I feel obligated to listen to because it's new and hip.

I do have to say that despite it's apparent disregard for individualism, a truckload of people on here are mindless robots liking the same old hyped bands/ albums year in/ year out.

I could actually handle that if they also spouted their opinions on lesser known albums that DIDN'T get hyped but they still liked and wanted to promote.

Even if you are the only person on here to like an album it doesn't mean you should hide it. Heard a release this year that DIDN'T get hyped? Mention it and push it.

Have some balls.

I haven't come across you following the crowd personally and you like what you like so no.

I liked Radiator, which I first read about in your thread.

Also, you like the Pixies, no? Dinosaur Jr.?

Urban Hat€monger ? · 10-08-2010, 08:05 PM

Yeah but it's years since I listened to them

Haha okay, because sometimes I feel like I get some negative views because I'm so damn picky and generally listen to a lot of bands that sound very similar...

Yes but u don't sit there and talk about new bands every five minutes as though they are the second coming!

There are still bands out there making great music even if they are more than a few years old and that really annoys me when they are not given the chance.
