I told you this wasn't the case, and then you went off on some tangent about subjectivity, as if I didn't understand the concept. I responded in a tongue-in-cheek manner that I was perfectly aware of the concept. Then you started saying old man things, which seemed to be basically saying "I'm older and wiser and therefore the things I have to say are superior to the things you have to say," without really saying anything beyond "taking my message and turning it into something useful", which again, is nebulous and confusing. I responded, clearly setting out my intentions for the thread, since your scatter shot posts didn't give me the impression that you were actually listening to anything that I was saying. Then for no apparent reason you make some remark about "Too bad I really don't understand good music" which lends me to believe that somehow, someway you've interpreted me to have been mocking your music for no reason that I can fathom. And now you just seem to be taking mortal offense at... something. I honestly don't even care anymore. I'm assuming you're drunk, cause you're barely coherent.

However Batlord, I think that I do listen to a lot of generic bands, you're right there. Part of me is a bit intimidated to branch out more than I have in to other kinds of music, there's so much out there. I should get over that though, because I do agree with you that I need to develop my taste, because it is flawed to hell. I know I usually don't comment on rec's people give me, but PM me a bunch of bands man, I do listen to everything people suggest. I came to this forum to develop my taste. So help me along, everyone! |

Ah, so many responses required! Why do I have to sleep?
So, then (cracks knuckles --- OW!) Quote:
Also, I have not yet rated anyone's music so for all you know I may love everything I hear. Even if I don't I will make constructive posts about why I don't like, or get it. I won't be insulting people. Not saying Batty's doing that but it does come across as preachy and judgemental --- "I know what you should be listening to" --- which is why I won't be contributing to this, other than to respond to things posted to or about me.

Anyway, the second part of your post really comes more under a sort of "Recommend a song for..." which, had this been that, I would have been fine with. You're kind of softening the blow a little. "Your music taste is crap but I can help you"... Quote:

Hooboy, drunk postings a bitch man. Since I've already been pulled into this, here we go.
I haven't read through much that's been posted save for my drunken ramblings from last night, and I'm only posting this because I've already plastered my diluted thoughts all over this thread, and just want to clarify, or rather do this the 'correct' way with a clearer head. This is in no way a retaliation against you Batlord at all, these are just my true thoughts about your "Taste" in music (since you're the one that pulled me into this) that I would otherwise just internalize. I don't feel the need to judge other peoples thought processes, or judge what they're most passionate about, because that's what makes them who they are. Batlord: Very myopic and juvenile, and a lack of any real understanding of what you're actually listening to. Like a bully on a playground, you mock and ridicule anyone who thinks differently than you, and it really shows your low self esteem. Sure, metal and all it's offshoot genres can be entertaining and pleasing to the ear at times, but I feel you try a bit too hard to come across as someone who is "Hardcore" and you miss out on the real beauty of the music you refuse to except, which probably stems from having a fear of intimacy, and I'm about as impressed with the vastness of your musical catalog as I am with someone who has 20 guitars but can't play any of them. You're young, and indeed still have something to prove, so I can understand this, and it really showed some progress to me that you excepted Rush wholeheartedly. I got an even bigger kick out of you freaking out about Praxis, since that's a genre you wouldn't normally seek out. You're musical taste is really right on par with someone your age. Not beyond, not below, but right there at the fulcrum point with which one starts to grow into who they will become for the rest of their life. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Spoiler for Rule #1:

I do wonder about the actual intent of this thread and the spirit in which it was created. Most people, having impressed someone with a track, go on to share more with them, but Batty, after seeing I was into that Guitar Orchestra thing, then deliberately picked out one I wouldn't like (he was right) and I have to ask, why? Did it piss you off that I liked the song you didn't think I would so you had to spoil it by picking out a bad one? What did that prove? That you really didn't want me to like it in the first place, maybe so you could poke fun and tell me how I refuse to broaden my musical taste? Don't get it.
Or this thread, as I said. Let me listen to what I want to, not what you, or anyone else, thinks I should. Enjoy your thread.
