Music Chat Thread V. The Music Section is Dead (Long Live the Music Section) - General

[QUOTE=impose;48516585]but is pop music like Ke$ha and Miley Cyrus so popular, therefore so well liked that is objectivly better than a more talented band simpy due to the sheer amount of people that view it as good?[/QUOTE] yes music can't be called good by how well written or played it is, it is decided by how many people truly enjoy it [editline]awd[/editline] [QUOTE=Eluveitie;48516615]Formulaic maybe. Catchy yes. Technically good. Your fucking opinion does not define what is considered good. It's completely and totally subjective.[/QUOTE] music is a 100% subjective topic (any and all ''objective statements'' regarding music are 100% subjective), that's precisely why the only objective way to rate music is by measuring how many people subjectively like it

[QUOTE=impose;48516502]Probably a really unpopular opinion, but AC/DC is so overated and them taking out #1 in the NZ rock 1000 is just about the most disappointing thing ever when there's so many new exciting bands like Lydia and Collective Soul these days. I'm fine with Tool taking out the top spot because they're fairly obscure in the rest of the world (NZ is the most Tool loving country in the world apparently), and Pearl Jam is always deserving due to just plain high quality, like Foo Fighters. But having a over saturated, overrated band like AC/DC take it out just sets a bad precedent and reminds me of the Nickleback problem. AC/DC isn't a [B][I]bad[/I][/B] band, but I'm starting to hate them due to simple overexposure. /rant[/QUOTE] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5LM5I98lZg[/media]

i still can't believe andy milonakis is 39 years old, you shouldn't be able to get away with that at 39 but he rocks it

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;48516811] that's precisely why the only objective way to rate music is by measuring how many people subjectively like it[/QUOTE] I do not understand this at all. How is aggregate opinion an objective statement?

[QUOTE=erfinjerfin;48516997]I do not understand this at all. How is aggregate opinion an objective statement?[/QUOTE] democracy but nah on a serious note; you can't measure something without objective truths, so the only thing left is to measure it via subjective opinions music theory is just exactly that, theory.

[editline]awd[/editline] You're all thinking of something that's really simple as something needlessly complicated.

basically why math rock sucks but pop punk doesn't

[QUOTE=butre;48517070]basically why math rock sucks but pop punk doesn't[/QUOTE] i personally think that both genres go hard as hell but pretty much

I enjoy all the stylistic origins of math rock but when you mash it all together it turns to trash imo how about something more objective like how prog metal sucks but pop punk doesn't

[QUOTE=Winner;48518138][/QUOTE] the correct way to spell it is "trash"

I doubt that a single one of the regular posters here has listened to it.

[QUOTE=usaokay;48518519]How is Disturbed's new album? Is it worth it?[/QUOTE] of course it is:hiddendowns:

if you like disturbed you'll probably like disturbed's new album. you're also probably 9

i remember watching their new music video and it was one of the funniest things ive ever seen

i'm amazed disturbed have not evolved at all during their entire 19-year existence the new album sounds the same as all of their other albums, so if you liked those you'll like this one

i have never actually listened to disturbed [editline]awd[/editline] [QUOTE=usaokay;48519406]Yeah, I was looking for a good pump up band for whenever I go exercise.[/QUOTE] waka flocka flame
