I wouldn't trust the musical opinions on a guy who calls me a dumbass after comparing the highly opinionated and discussed qualities of a vague genre to the objectivity of whether an elephant is a worm or not. Even if it's a joke, it's a bad one, and a sucky way of getting a flawed point across.

From what ive seen his taste in music is not bad.. can't say the same for his jokes tho.

I feel sick, im gonna go puke now.

I'd offer you some of mine, but I'm a selfish asshole that refuses to share.

Not that I agree, but they do often get the same albums so I get where you're coming from.

I am usually curious to the how and why the genre are applied. I am far from being an expert to the myriad of genres & sub-genres and which bands belong to what. When it comes to categorizing bands within a genre I usually defer to music critics, music journalist and fans (within reason - as long they know what they are talking about). If I see a band being tag with genre I haven't them described as before, I become skeptical if it was used properly. If I am interested enough, sometimes fact check it. Sometimes I don't have too because I know my humble amount of music history to know it's being misused.

I am not perfect. I've made mistakes. I once used "Classic Rock" as a genre in the presence of Paul Smeenus in plug.dj, and was corrected by him. Ever since then I have made a concerted effort not use "Classic Rock" (and consequently AOR) as a genre.

I don't think my comeback will do anything for me. I get the impression you're not too concern about anything you say. It makes sense to you, and that's all the justification you need.
