[QUOTE="pOOPYpANTZ"][QUOTE="htotheo"]why should you care what other bands think about bands you like, cause when you call other bands bad your doing the same thing as other people. plus those bands are really bad can't stand em. whats with the diss to greenday their old stuff is king.htotheo
The "bands" I quoted aren't "bands" at all, and this is precisely my problem. The fundamental problem I have with "other people" (youth) is that they inadvertently "latch-on" to iconoclastic rubbish to "get them through" penultimate periods in the defining stages in their lives, and these icons with which they latch on to are fundamentally CRAP!!! Unfortunately they are most often too juvenile to realise it. In time they will grow up (as I hope you will) and interpret music in an entirely different light- for what it is and not for what juvenile "douchebag" wants you to see it as, and certainly not for the record sales it will bring them.
I despise modern rock/pop/soul/rap for the commercial and arrogant pretentious element it induces on what music is and should be. We DON'T listen to music for the sake of idol worship or capitolism, or because some clown dropped an f-bomb or a primative 5th-note powerchord, it is because we appreciate what they have contributed to the music scene without care for pretense or megalomania...
people musical interpretation can differ from different people as it is an art which means how ever shallow you think something is there may be an underlining meaning. Why don't you give me a couple of bands you like and we'll see how great your tatse is and if it isn't garbage. by despinsing all forms of modern music you are generalizing, while i don't enjoy msot music on the radio i enjoy music which has been made in this century without having to look back to the 80s and 90s to see what "real music"was like.
who do you say latches onto these bands because alot of people do but again generalizing. not all bands think how you think they do, jsut because they sign with a major label doesn't mean they have sold out.
i feel bad for you because you have closed up so much msuic to you because of your narrow minded views.
These days I mostly only listen to what would be called "world music", "ECM artists", and "classical"...uh, classical...simply because I am absolutely sick of pretentuous pri&ks and their commercially endorsed c*ck rock sensibiltiies.
