I agree.

I would take pop country any day over the heavily twang traditional stuff.

Remember Yellowcard, Simple plan and New found glory? How great were they? :tramp:

"Classic" Weezer, Dashboard Confessional, etc. But then again, I actually like Sunny Day Real Estate and some of their ilk so I probably should have been more specific.

I like Prog, but I don't like black metal. It think there is some Emo and Pop Country out there that's worth listening. I think Pop Country has improved. A few bands brought back some Old Timey influences to Country. There is a some Folk influences in indie bands and some indie influence in today's Country bands. I don't think it's the greatest but it has evolved and improved over the last 3 decades.

There are some good Emo bands you just have to plug with someone who knows them.... a nod to whitlelake.

Surely there is something in every genre for everyone? Simply a matter of not finding the right band/album/song either through a lack of luck, or effort.

Kanye West is overrated.

He is a talented producer and I liked his first album and My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy but he has not made anything that I would define as groundbreaking or iconic.

There are way better rappers. He is a better producer than he is a rapper.

Is that irrational? That sounds like a fairly common opinion, even though his fanboys glorify him.

I have an absolutely irrational hatred for hair metal and glam rock, people ask me why I hate it and I can never give them an answer that makes sense. I just get so annoyed by all of it.

Welcome to the No-Fun Club, where guitar solos are forbidden and partying whilst rocking out is NOT ALLOWED11! :p:

Who is to say you have to like everything you hear or that is out there? If someone doesn't like something who is to say it is because a lack of effort? They are definitely taking some kind of effort in the things they like. There are certain genres I don't like and I don't expect to like anything in them. It's not because a lack or luck or effort. If you don't see something there immediately I don't think it is necessary to dig deeper until to find something. Why waste time looking through things you don't like when you can be enjoying the things you like?
