because its trendy to think so.....
i hate all boy and girl bands!
why?
because their music is crap!
ive seen you sing along to robbie williams?
well hes ok. but the rest are crap!
why?
because its music for teenage girls!
ahh, so you dont like it because you dont like teenage girls?
no i like teenage girls!
so whats your point? why do you not like boy/girl bands?
coz, er, they dont form to my opinion of what music is?
so you dont like them because you only listen to (insert musical taste here) and they dont have heavy guitar solos, panpipe interludes etc etc etc
yeah, thats right.
so they arent really crap, they just dont have what you look for in music
yeah!!!!!!!
so youve changed your stance from hating a band because its trendy to saying that you arent a fan of that type of music because it doesnt fulfil your musical criteria
um, i suppose so.
youre a complete wánker who cant think for themselves and is unable to develope an appreciation for anything outside of your comfort zone genre because you feel threatened that other influences may indeed make you seem untrendy in your peers eyes?
HUH?
oh, howls of derisive laughter.
thew nice thing is that when you get older, you lose the inhabitions that tend to stem your appreciation for these things, music, food, cars, whatever, and you tend to get a more rounded experience of things.
so instead of saying 'i heard one song by limp biskitt and the fúckin suck man' you tend to do things like say 'i heard that single by limp biskitt and i didnt really like it. i didnt like they way they put their songs together or i didnt like this or that'. but you wont hate the band because your best mate does.

be careful, it may happen one day - a pretender to the throne may come along and usurp you and take your maiden for his own (I'm looking at Angelwhore or Pornapster at this point ) 0 -

that is fair enough, but have you ever, or heard of other people belittling someone else because they listen to a band that they like but you/other people dispise/dont like
I have heard this, and I do privately ridicule people for listen to what I consider "crap", but I dont say it to their face, as I believe it is one opinion of mine best kept to myself
for example, I do listen to Slipknot, does that mean I have bad taste in music, does that mean I am, as someone on this topic called them, a "junior skanger", am I musically ignorant - no, I just like what I find pleasing to myself.
We all had this huge discussion where it was finally agreed (after many interesting/boring/insulting posts) that music is a personal thing. Just because someone listens to nu metal bands, does not mean they have no musical taste, it doesnt mean they are part of the MTV generation. And on the flipside nor does it give someone who listens to the Beatles, whether 30 years ago or today, the right to belittle someone, because their style of music differs from their own preference*
*except for dance music......lol

Sure, just look at my reply to this thread.
Generally I hate stuff that gets over-played, because that put me off RHCP.
But of course, people are going to belittle each other for everything, no matter what, and I dont see that changing any time soon. We'd basically have slagging matches at each other about bands in the pub, it's great fun.
But long story short, yes, you are a junior skanger.
Live with it.

who are you calling "junior" sunshine - if I want to feel young (or perverted) I'll start hanging out outside colleges. this old man is going home.....night all 0 -
whether or not i have a throne and whether or not i'd even like to sit in it is another matter....
however, i rarely think that anyone will find anything 'crap' if they have listened to it.
hell, i cant stand REM for example, however, i think that everybody hurts and losing my religion are two of the finest songs of the 90's.
well there you go, so they arent crap. i like some i loathe some.
i think you just learn to appreciate different things as you get older.
hell, 10 years ago i was al about long hair, a black t-shirt with the most horrid image i could find on it with a band name, and listening to carcass, or obiutary or whatever. anything that was in the top 40 was instant crap due to it being popular. thats all it took. if it was popular, i hated it.
and then i discovered classical music, and every little bit of musical taste i had, happily, went out the window
it tought me that you have to get over what over people think, and learn to actually make up your own mind about music. if someone wants to listen to some bloke sing like his vocal cords are rupturing ala death metal, then cool, please dont play it near me! but you work away. who the hell am i to say they are crap, dont listen.
although, i have noticed a sudden decrease in the number of people declaring that slipknot are crap since this took a more serious turn
and maybe someday, if you listen to enough music, and you know what you like, then you can say with some authority what is good and what is not, but lets face it, youre always going to find someone who hates what you like.
in those cases, i stick em in the eye with a cigarette, and make em listen to some good old fashion iron maiden!
by the way, i got my old maiden albums out the other day
fantastic!0 -

On a personal taste level, this is something I simply cannot relate to in any way, shape or form. Sure there was the odd little thing I'd pick up then get bored of, like Korn, all those years ago. But to have a whole range of musial taste fly out the window because you discovered something new? I really cannot understand that.
There's plenty, and I mean PLENTY of new stuff that I've discovered over the years, and while it has definetly broadened my horizons, nothing has ever really been thrown in the bin. Best example I can give is the old 'Dance Music' one. You know the old 'Oh, it's all fake, it's not real music' rubbish?
Few years ago I discovered some really, really brilliant stuff, clubbing in London. EBM mostly. But it was all really great! VNV Nation, Front 242, Mesh, Skinny Puppy, Apoptygma Berzerk, Switchblade Symphony, Die Krupps, Assemblage 23, Icon Of Coil... And so on, and so on. But the fact is that a lot of this stuff isn't too far gone from Techno, and such. Just listen to the song 'Electronic Warfare' by Apoptygma Berzerk or 'You Didn't Want Me' by Mesh. Downright brilliant stuff. I should also be heading to Dublin later on in the month to see some sets from Goteki, Katscan and the like. Should be great.
But all this opened my eyes.
The fact that there's electronic music out there that isn't music for mobile phone theives, or pill-popping e-heads kinda shocked me. But none of it made me throw out my old CDs.
Anyway, enough of my waffle.
Have a listen to this: http://www.tweaker.net/mp3/01-linoleum(featuringdavidsylvian).mp3
You'd probably think I'd never listen to anything of the sort.0 -

no. what i mean is that i discovered classical music, and the current taste in music was thrown out the window, in other words, my ideas about what music should be, as i was all power cords and black clothes and long hair etc.
i didnt stop me loving ST (happy now phenom?) or metallica, or even getting the odd carcass tune up, but listening to the same power cords for 5 minutes at a time on longer seemed interesting. there was more than just some bloke growling into a mic, and more than just a some bloke trying to get the highest pitch noises from his guitar as a 'solo'.
in other words, my musical taste changed to include a huge amount of extra things in it as i saw what else was out there, but it didnt mean i had to exclude what i was listening to.
hell, ive even got a 5ive album
get on up, when your down baaby, take a good look around.
quality stuff

actually, that wasnt my point pornapster.
i have no problem saying that bands are crap (although i tend not to sy it myself very much) but that i do have a problem with people saying bands are crap and yet have listened to one song, and generally dont like them because their best mate doesnt like them, or because they are popular, and at that age, its trendy to hate whatever is popular.
go against fashion. every teen does it
even i did once
and angelwhore, abs is from 5ive.
and if you dont know the song open casket
Open Casket then I would surely have to question your hardcore metal background!
my god man!
its the band that invented death metal!0 -
