So much anger in this music forum...can't we just get along?

[Nochowderforyou]

hey all,

I have recently discovered this Music forum here, and I can't help but notice in every thread, you get someone who doesn't like a certain band, puts them down, then it starts a tidal wave of shit. How about instead of bickering like children, you either don't reply to a thread of music you don't like, or at least give a reason why you don't like them.

Saying, "oh they're nu-metal and complete crap" fair enough, but at least back that up by saying why you think so. All it does is it makes people mad. If you don't like it, then don't respond.

It's so simple, so can we grow up.

Anyone that refuses to appreciate all forms of music doesn't deserve to pass judgement on it.

Appreciating all forms of music doesn't mean that you think everything is good. There is crap music in every genre. What makes good music? First of all passion/soul. An artist with passion is the kind of person who would be continously working on making their music better or atleast, expanding their horizons. If you take a look at some one like Miles Davis who was always trying new ideas, playing with different musicians, and actually trying to create something new and exciting, then look at an artist like Weezer who was stale from the beginning, and basically recorded the same record five times, it's obvious that Weezer just didn't have what Miles had.

Now those are just examples, but the idea applies to all music. When I say something is crap, it's because it is. I never will say that with out giving the artist a chance first, but when you listen to music, you have to ask why? What was the point of this? Where is the substance?

LOL.

You seem to think that what you say goes huh?

I'm reminded of the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

I know a few people like you though, that seem to think whatever music they like is the best...lol they can be hard to tolerate sometimes...

My first job was at a local music store called Music Madness in Watsonville, Ca.
I worked there 3 years and found myself pretty eclectic (Spelled right) anyway I was amazed people would be buying a cd and knowing that there was similar style in other bands thinking the person might like it they'd pfft me and say that band sucked etc, I really feel bad for people who can't listen to ANY music and find the good in it. Love it all, and usually people say "except country" but ya know. I grew up on West Coast rap, too short eazy e dre e-40 djquik etc. So breaking my shell into rock, classical, love it, country.. Damn Hank where ya at when I neeed ya! All music has its uses and its when you're in the mood,

another example. composing music myself pretty much full time, I'll get an artist who is in my studio sampling some of my styles. They'll hear a style that I think they like but totally dont, then I'll get a sense of what they like, its so wierd alot of artists do the same thing, they separate themselves from all other music but what they're into. In closing keep an open mind guys. Doesn't mean you gotta go buy that music but getting some stuff you don't normally soak yourself in is a very good thing for personal growth.

Lets do it this way. Remove every single label, every single term, every single genre, every single category, every single social group, whether or not the band is 'successful', whether or not the band is innovative, and leave it all down to: do you enjoy listening to them or not?

For me who gives a damn if the Beatles are 'great' and 'innovative' i don't dig them, and so therefor fuck em. I mean, they definitely have good songs, it's just an example that being successfully has nothing to do with if you actually dig the band.

Some people dig slipknot, more power too em if they don't get annoyed by assholes like me who think slipknot is utter garbage.

Appreciate all forms of music? fuck that. Rap is utter garbage, I'm down for some old school hip-hop, but fuck that new shit, its terrible.

*awaits the emo faggot name calling*

John Prine once said, "I'd rather be called names, than stand up for somethin that ain't right."

This isn't hate, i don't hate people for what they listen too, you can find me ballin' to ludicrous if I'm in good company. I don't hate people over the internet that listen to mudvane or w/e, but that band is still el terrible, Spanish for terrible.

The way I see it, as long as music has a fan base, no matter how big, it's deserved of a little respect. It's obviously impossible to like everything you hear, but to say that a style or genre is music is 'crap' is just arrogance and ignorance. If it's so crap, get your ass in gear and make something spectacular that EVERYONE will like.

Oh wait, you can't, so shut up. :jointsmile:

PS: I hate RnB with a passion.
