Sorry, but nothing is more irritating than the pretentious wannabe shredders who drone on about Satriani and Malmsteen. I'd rather listen to someone slam on a whole genre than listen to two meatheads talk about some shredder.

It's almost to the point where I'm overly excited when I meet someone of interesting taste in music and come off as a complete ass. Also, I can see where your roomate is coming from, but I don't put it off as terrible music. For example, Buckethead - drum machine galore, but the guy can rip.

I'm glad where I live, the music scene is pretty good. The music department at my highschool is extremely good, mostly because the thing is run by a small, but extremely dedicated group of people that make it into a great class. The people in the class have generally good taste in music, where they appreciate and enjoy a variety of music. I even know a few people that love bands like kayo Dot, Mr. Bungle, John Zorn (although so far they don't enjoy his music, but they are giving the man a chance and don't automatically jump to that "its not music" stuff). Don't get me wrong though, 90% of my school has the absoulte worst taste in music I have ever seen, completely with the stereotypical metal head that only listens to Slipknot, the gangster man who thinks Lil Wayne is the best rapper ever, The top 40s people, ect.

Just a few days ago, one of my classmates, who plays bass said that "any bassiest that uses a pick is a guitar player wannabe." Or even worse, when somebody says something like "you have to be on drugs to actually like or make that" when talking about a more experimental band.

Ugh, I hate that. My friend told me that once. When I was listening to The Blood Brothers. THE BLOOD BROTHERS.

Or any other obviously horrible rapper.

True that. A lot of times they just cover their ears and start shouting metal lyrics too. Don't even try to hear some logic.

Yep.

I was talking to some girl the other night who told me she doesn't really listen to any bands and just whatever's on the charts. Fair enough I guess. I certainly couldn't see myself living like that though.

So today in lass we started talking about music, and someone said "Pretty much all music today is about getting drunk or high or having sex"
I was pretty pissed off. I told her she was close-minded and needs to listen to something other then America's Top 40 songs before she makes a generalazation like that. Not like I got through to her though.
I'm sure you've all met people like this. Discuss?

Those three things have kind of been a part of popular music...for...well, let's just say longer than you, me or your classmate have been alive.

Any way you go about it, it's an ignorant generalization.
