Does Music Banter Ever Change?

Guybrush · 03-12-2013, 12:38 PM

There's less craziness, less hostility and more hurt-feelings kind of drama these days, I think. And I felt like the forums had more uppers and movers back in the day, more people who were ambitious with threads and whatnot. The forums feel slower and perhaps a bit more "bored" these days.

If MB used to be a wild roller coaster ride back in the days, it's sort of mellowed out a bit these days. The highs are not as high and the lows are not as low.

1. Anything with any real flavor is locked.

2. We're living in a time of hive-mind. Too much affectation. People aren't willing to go out on a limb with their interests. Or talk about it. And the only thing that hasn't changes is that the same ethos of preferring to slam other peoples taste rather than post about your own.

And we lack the bodies to tell those people to **** off.

It will never change. Same drama, different characters.

I think that if you simplify anything far enough, you could say it doesn't evolve at all.

Him and I live in the same state, he's off doing his own thing, and hardly ever making sense on Facebook. He wasn't just into hardcore and emo though, he's into everything from weird jazz to twee.

You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
