Just to help illustrate my point, here are your posts in order, with my additional comments in red...
No Phish? No Radiohead? No Infected Mushroom? No Jazz Mandolin Project? Who the fuck cares what kind of music any of you listen to? What the hell does it even matter? Like it's something to make you feel elite? Lincon Park (Sp?) is no less mainstream than Britney Spears these days... Neither is Metallica.
This is interesting, because you cite bands you find to be interesting or perhaps talented. Yet you go on to question why anyone would give a shit that someone would like some other artists. And you say "Like it's something to make you feel elite?" TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. That's how you sound. Grade A bullshit.
It's like all the poser guitarists that claim Joe Satriani and Steve Vai as their idols because Guitar Magazine told them to.
If this isn't a blanket statement, I don't know what is. You are an idiot.
Geez, you guys are so mainstream. lol.
Mainstream is mainstream, but in the discussion of what people like to listen to, it seems you are the one that likes to sound elite and knowledgeable. Then you later come at me for not knowing how to read? Get the fuck out!
Metallica /snicker. Those guys were cool, like, back in the days of Ride the Lightning. At one point of time... /snicker.
...Yet more laughing at a certain style. You're not elite? Can you explain how? Work with me. I am just not seeing it.
On to the next post...
Whateverthefugever. I've met dozens of people in the world who think the music you listen to is somehow a bragging point. Honesly, who the f* cares. You want technical guitar and hair bands? Go back to the 80's. Music and art have always been about feeling more than technicality.
Hmmm, I never saw the additional posters get into a pissing match that you didn't start. You should remember not to write checks your butt can't cash. Then you come up with "dozens" of people you've met who all believe something you don't, and that somehow makes it appropriate for you to come off elite, yet say you're not, but keep telling others they are? You are fucking warped.
Next one...
Which is why I prefer phish. I once watched the perform live when I lived in Ohio. That night, a huge tornado tore a walmart near my apartment in half down the middle. The way phish was playing with the torrential downpoar, I could have swore they controlled it all. Stage and lighting is great, but I've never seen a band perform with the true intensity of nature before. Now THAT'S good shit.
But can't we like make a topic about music or something.
Wow, that is a simply amazing story. I am fucking enthralled. :roll:
I could espcially give a pot of shits after you bash other music, and continue to harp on and on about what's talent and music to YOU.
The one thing you say that makes sense (once it's taken out of context and away from your other remarks, and used just as a standalone statement) is, "Music and art have always been about feeling more than technicality." I think most people would agree with that. What you need to realize is that YOU bashed other forms of music. YOU came off as elite. Then YOU started to blame others for defending their tastes by calling them elite. Then YOU called me stupid. YOU just got Pwnt.
