I mean at this point, Dev might as well be in a tribute band. He might even learn the charm in playing interesting music if he picks a good group.

And ja, my world music influences do tend to be filtered through a westernized lens and I'm always working away from that very easy cliche to participate in and towards something more original. Thing is, I pick decent genres to build off of instead of **** like new age and glam metal.

I don't even want to know what his personality is like. The kind of person who thinks it's fine to do what he does is not somebody I need in my life.
LOL

You've made 24% of the total posts in this thread (44, far and away the most - 16 more than second place)

Since you basically said it all in your first post (#4), the next 43 are just you trying to remind everyone else that your opinion is superior and if you dislike something it obviously must suck, and that anyone who disagrees with you are simply wrong.

LOL
