Hi everyone I'm back glad to see that there was a discussion while I was gone and I'd like to add my input. On the matter of Trollheart's opinion on the matter of grindcore and how much debate it has caused it is good to bring up that unlike physical things we cannot have a clear definition if what music is. No matter what a sweater made of s*** is nonetheless a sweater as it has the physical properties of one. There is a grey area when it comes to music and in it the subjective mind forms its own opinions on things that are not seen, love, or any emotion has this grey area and that's why I think we form our own definitions. So we end up forming our own opinions on what music is, and while I respect this entirely grindcore fans who do consider it music are going to fight against it. I personally hold the view that it is music along with many other things and as our discussion turned early if music was the intent by the artist isn't that music. The same goes with art but again that's another thread another time.
