Most definitely, it wasn't my intent to attack non-musicians, I just want them to see how much is put into the songs they listen to. I just find some people can become really vicious about these sorts of things, and it's just amazing. I respect anyone who puts themselves out there, whether or not its music. It could be any art for that matter, I respect that. I don't however respect angsty teens who completely rip apart this band or that band because it doesn't fit their ridiculous standards, because lets face it, how the hell CAN you relate to a teenager who constantly flip flops on how they feel for the moment. We've all been there, we know its true. So, like I said, they can say something, sure, but would I like to see them take a stab at it first? Why not, might round them up a bit culturally. Hopefully.

If you go to more genre/label oriented boards that's where you find a good healthy discussion on more obscure bands.

Want to PM me tracks from those acts and I'll check it out?

I just don't like people whining about things they too, can achieve. It's silly. As for mainstream bands, good for them. I don't much care for most of the material, but they obviously worked hard enough to get themselves where they are. Their time will rise and fall, that's just the way it is, but they did it. That's what matters.

I'll agree that people exagerate their point half the time so it doesn't sound so rehashed and boring, but we're walking down the path of "its not ok to say you don't like something because effort was put in."

Its fine to say you don't like something so long as you say why. If I hurt someones feeling thats really thier burden to bare, unless its something personal like

"jesus christ no wonder you were adopted. If my wife ****s a kid out like you, the best you'd hope for is adoption."

If its pertaining to the art you shouldn't limit it.

I guess that makes sense, but I guess what I'm really just getting at is the basics our mother's taught us all. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Or put up or shut up. Both work fine in this situation. People just need to give props where props are due, ya dig?

#2 . Bandwagon Fans

No it is'nt a band. Merely a state of mind. Stop following the crowd. Have a dig around and introduce me to some bands. If there is no one new you have heard then balls to the bandwagon. If it's crap, then say it's crap. Fuck kudos points and listen to what you want to. There are far too many robots on MB that agree with every new band that comes along. Be your own person and like what you like. Of course don't turn into an ******* and berate everyone's tastes but be comfortable in your tastes. I am

...and fair play to you. Seriously. If this was the only thing that you listened to then it could be construed as narrow minded but knowing your tastes these days it's all cool.
