An unprovoked and angry defense only proves insecurity in the belief. ;)

If this thread is serious, I just lost a lot of respect for you. Not because you like Fall out Boy, but because of how you're acting and what you're saying.Zaeryn
I know I'm being ridiculous, but whatever. It's interesting. If you all think I'm intolerant, when was the last time I said any specific band was bad? Have I ever told any one of you that your bands suck?

You're an idiot, a supreme idiot.

My opinion is that Fall Out Boy is a group composed of four poser, no talent jackasses.

But, I mean "This is your chorus, I'm writing you a verse." makes so much sense... Lyrical failure is generally frowned upon, and sure, I may be saying that my opinion when it comes to music is better than yours... But, I really judge bands 'talent/goodness/whatever' off of lyrics... And face it, they can't write to save their lives.

Hmmm... I'm writing you a chorus, and here is your verse. Thanks. ^_^

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] it's more the fact they're just a bad band.SolidSnake35
It's this that annoys me. The casual acceptance that they're 'just' bad. It's as though it's the norm. I don't really understand where you get these negative opinions from. I can't really think of a somewhat well known band that are bad. There are the bands I like... and the bands that I don't listen to. Why don't I listen to them? They don't appeal to me. Why? I'm not sure, but I don't try to work out how bad they are. O_o

You just directly contradicted yourself right there. Earlier you said that you had no problem with people saying they're bad. I just said exactly that - and you first reply is "that is what annoys me."

Can we stop this notion now that you're making some deeper, overarching point and accept that you simply dont like people saying bad things about fall out boy, and that this thread is an attack on people saying said things?

Like i said, it's simply a fact that fallout boy appeal to a certain audience. Namely, young teenagers. To most other people, they dont appeal much at all. Hence why you get way more people who dislike them than people who do. That's just how life is. Sometimes you like something and you're one of a very small number. You have to simply accept that your opinion differs from the vast majority. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but it works both ways.

You cant try to convert people who say they're bad. You cant attack negative opinions or call people haters or elitists. It's simply a fact the majority of people do not find their music pleasant.

Well you did say that Fall Out Boy is "better than [my] favourite band", so that's indirectly stating that everyone else's favorite band that isn't Fall Out Boy is of lesser quality. So yeah, you kind of did say that other people's bands suck, just not directly.

Your intolerance isn't of other bands, it's of opinions which differ to yours regarding the bands you like.

There's nothing wrong with liking whatever it is you like, so if I were you I'd just say screw them and ignore the people bashing FoB. I wouldn't really worry about what some random people over the internet think of a band. However, I think what you're doing now was a horrible way to deal with this.

I believe I'm better placed to judge them, which is why I wonder where the hate comes from. Where's the need?

Stop refering to it as hate. :? This isn't an angry mob hating your favourite band to annoy you. This is simply the majority of people who dont fall within the band's target audience who hear their music on the radio and on MTV and dont care for it.

Yes, the title was wrong. I'm sorry... That wasn't really my focus though. It was more... If you think your band is so much better, why don't you like them as much as I like FOB. When put that way, it's harder to place bands above others.

Well then if you put it that way, that would be rather presumptuous, considering you are basically assuming that most people here don't like their favorite band as much as Fall Out Boy. But even then, how would that make their opinion seemingly less valid? Just because someone likes their favorite band more than someone else suddenly means that their opinion is beyond dispute?

Yes, but it puts everyone on an even level. Instead of the usual, we all have opinions but mine is better than yours because the bands I like can play their guitar upside down... or whatever.

I stand by everything i said. I think this is simply a matter of you feeling the need to defend a band that you like. And there is no such need. Let people who dislike them lie. Let people who hate them do so. Everyone has their justification and everyone has their personal taste. Punk rock was despised by the vast majority of people when it first emerged in the 70s. I didn't see Joe Strummer telling everyone that they were wrong, though. They were happy to let the fans be fans and everyone else be everyone else.

I hope it pains most of you that your favourite band will never reach their level of superiority, save for in your own mind. If you can't provide any evidence to suggest that FOB aren't awesome, besides your own opinion based, elitist waffle, then you can spare us from your boring hate on them from this point forth. It's my opinion against yours and I'll be damned if you think more highly of your favourite band than I do. As such, you lose. ^_^SolidSnake35

Well, the best way to do that is to simply point out to anyone who says that your taste is bad that music is entirely subjective and based on individual reaction and opinion. That's an arguement nobody can ever break.

Telling people that they're wrong or that they're a hater or an elitist gets you nowhere. And i'd advise not taking every post which says they're bad as an attack on your tastes. They aren't. They're just expressions of opinion.

This thread is more about Snake's stalker-esque obsession with FOB than it is about the actual band, so I feel the need to say this...Prove to me that you love them more than anyone else in the world. Without proof of that first, all your posts and arguments in your own favor are invalid.

But that's my opinion. :D

The only thing worse than ignorance is aggressive ignorance. You can like Fall Out Boy all you want, but please, don't try to spread that **** on me. You're no better than all the metal elitists, Solidsnake. I thought you were more mature than to make a thread like this. How unfortunate.

Their bassist not only can only play simple bass parts, but can't even use proper finger form. He plays like his fingers have no joints, because he's that bad. I don't really see why they have a rhythm guitarist because their lead guitarist is just playing power-chords. Seriously, what did you hope to accomplish with this thread?
