On Music Banter, it really pisses me off when people... (dance, indie)

...use the word "twat".

when people complain about the lack of new music contributions and the unwillingness of the majority of posters to try music, and then completely ignore any attempt to introduce new music.

basically, when someone makes a thread and no one posts in it just because they know they won't be able to name-drop the band to make themselves look cool, or they think that the band is beneath them.

I got you on this one. Happens far too much on here.

When people post an introduction and say:

a) 'i love every type of music'. No, you probably couldn't name every type of music let alone form an opinion. Much better to say some cliche line like 'i'm open and willing to try allsorts of music'.

b)say the above and then go on to list a handful of current chart acts, and because one is emo and one is indie they say 'see, pretty diverse'.

Alfred · 02-06-2009, 03:27 PM

Yeah, I find that.

jackhammer · 02-06-2009, 03:33 PM

It does crack me up when noobs say they have diverse tastes. Have a look at my collection then lol Although that is elitist- fuck it!

Heh. That's happened to a couple of my threads. For some reason I find the hip-hop forum to be the worst as far as that goes.

This one annoys me but more so in real life where it seems the pre-requisite for listening to 'all types of music' is listening to a Kings of Leon song, a Beyonce song and some Britney Spears and Kanye West.

It actually makes me feel sick when most people purport to listen to all types of music

Heh. Yeah, I run into that a lot. And then of course there's the related "I like everything... as long as it has a beat that I can dance to". I hate that one. It like saying "I like everything... except for about 99% of all music ever made."

It pisses me off that some people thought Anteater and I were the same person.
