Two extremely insensitive things in one thread said by the one person. Well done. Respect for the dead, no?

So, if a song sucks to you, then you saying that the song sucks doesn't need clarification as to who thinks it sucks.
The title of the thread leads one to believe that the OP meant that it sucks generally, which I would take to mean, had no real merit. FFS, I can say rap or punk sucks; doesn't make it so. Of course you can be objective when you're basically asking people to vote or comment on music that has been around for decades. You can't simply dismiss a whole genre by saying it sucks. Isn't this what you all got on my back for about jazz? What about your music? If I say it sucks, does it suck? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does Frownland make music out of it?
