[QUOTE=SolidSnake52;34891198]If we're going to debate aesthetics then for me it's those stupid fucking glasses. Hideously thick-rimmed, and more recently, not even functional. Just a fugly accessory to go with an already bad wardrobe.[/QUOTE] lol what year do you guys live in hipsters haven't dressed that way since the weezer guy made thick-rimmed glasses amazingly uncool
Metal doesn't interest me as much, rarely listen to it. Same with hard-rock.
I fucking hate music
Grew out of Lil Wayne and any new main-streamer rappers that like rapping about their money, cars, and mansions+hoes. Never looked back and loving the sound of Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Hopsin, Easy E, rappers that actually flow.
Fuck me that's a ressurection and a half ther. Meh, I essentially departed from metal now, bluegrass, trip hop and glitch for me.
post-metalling it up.
The very first song I had ever actually liked was "Breathe" by Prodigy (That was when I was 11. Seriously - before then I didn't even like music.), followed by Buckethead's "Jordan." Then I was like "FUCK THAT" and started listening to trance, then hardstyle, then nightcore. Now I've kind of backed up and I'm into anything that serves a good beat or catchy lyrics [sp]except dubstep.[/sp]
I don't get why a ton of folk draw the line at dubstep, there's a ton of good dubstep out there, whether it's old school dubstep like Mungo's HiFi or the modern stuff like Koan Sound or Love & Lights :frown:
tbh most people probably avoid dubstep because they think of obnoxious kiddies on the internet who always go on about how they listen to skrillex and that mouse guy rather than, y'know, actual dubstep. Really I guess it suffers in the same way as metal - because people often think of metal as obnoxious kiddies who go on about slipknot and trivium or whatever. Either way, by judging two whole genres on their most obnoxious fans you miss out on a huge amount of music.
People judge books by their covers way too often.
the worst thing is that the really "bad" fans basically feed off the whole persecution thing so they get even more obnoxious and end up with an inflated sense of how special and important and unique they are - same in any genre which isn't generally accepted by the mainstream.
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;35091458]People judge books by their covers way too often.[/QUOTE] People say this, then don't think that they actually do it themselves. There really is no point worrying for others who aren't lucky enough to realise for themselves as what they've become. It's not your concern or anyone elses.
Simply put, all music is fine. It's the fans that give music a bad name.

It doesn't matter how popular the music is. Unless you focus your attention on lesser known artists which is all good.
And I didn't say it was my concern, I was stating a fact. Why do you take shit out of context or twist it to a different meaning all the time? [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] automerge'd

But again I'm not an expert at genres because I rarely give a fuck v:v:v

You're putting words into my posts again. I said that all music is fine, but their fans are what give them the image, and in regards to the post you brought this retarded thing up on, that people need to not judge books by their covers. People need to ignore the fans and look at the music. And when the fuck did I say my image of bands was their fans? For fuck's sake WHY DO YOU TAKE SHIT OUT OF CONTEXT? No wonder people hate arguing with you, you make up half your fucking evidence and arguments.
Want to calm down?
Oh no, he typed in caps, it must mean he's angry.
When someone results in insulting and moaning, that's when the arguement ends. It's not the first time, but you took things far too seriously.
Your whole concept of debate is retarded. You make up shit or misconstrue statements by taking them out of context and tell people they're idiots or close minded, then when they tell you that you're making shit up, you tell them they took it far too seriously. And you said I ended up insulting and moaning, did you not read the first line of that post? It was the argument. Again, you took only a small part of the post and talked about it instead of the WHOLE thing.
[QUOTE=AK'z;35091598]Want to calm down?[/QUOTE]
Now you're just trying to make me angry. Dunno how to make it obvious but I almost never get angry on the internet. In fact I think this is quite hilarious.

Even most Brostep artists tend to use a steady beat. [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] It's all my opinion of course.
Isn't skrillex said to be Electro House?
Yeah, he does seem to incorporate several techniques used in Electro-House. It's hard to pin Skrillex down to a sub genre really.

I didn't realise it takes one tiny thing to trigger that. :/ I guess I'll skip doing that to you next that.
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;35091738]Isn't skrillex said to be Electro House?[/QUOTE] No idea but he really isn't dubstep, it's really funny when you play some dubstep and a Skrillex fan goes "what the hell is that shit?" "Dubstep" "Skrillex is dubstep, that's not." All of my why. [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=AK'z;35091763]Well I wasn't expecting you to blow up in a frenzy.
