Stupid musical statements that you can't fathom

I guess this could be considered a dumb comment. It more annoys me than anything else. I can't stand it when I say I found out about a decent band and then someone else ridicules me and says they've know about that band "forever" and asks (patronizingly) how I've never heard about them before. Then continues to make a big deal, etc, etc.

Yeah that annoys me sometimes as well. They're usually just being snobs, they don't realise that it's impossible to have heard every band that has ever recorded music especially their favourite bands. If i'm discussing music with some of my friends and i mention a band i like that they've never heard of i certainly don't ridicule them and make a big deal out of it. I'd just say "oh you should check them out, you might like them" etc. I'd rather educate than be all snobby.

I don't even try listening to music on laptop speakers. I wait till I get home.
I can live with PC speakers to try some new music, but the screeching sound that comes from a laptop hasn't got much to do with 'music', for me.
I don't know what it's like overthere, but it's a new hype here to play music on the train or bus or in city streets on your phone speakers. Mostly HipHop. It's just a bunch of noise to my ears. And it's annoying for other people. Really bothers me. Glad I have a car

I remember one time I was in at school, and the teacher said something like "there's double the amount of homework this week" or "there's going to be a test this week" or something. I turned to my deskmate.

Me: *Beethoven's fifth:* DUN DUN DUN DUN!
Him: What's that?
Me: You're kidding me, right?
Him: No, what is it?
Me: You've honestly never heard that before?
Him: No, what?
Me: Uh... Beethoven's fifth
Him: I only know Ode to Joy

I remember having a conversation with someone who considered this metal, when it came out a couple years back:

Hurts when they say that. I think listening to music via laptopspeakers is more disrespectful to the musician than copying his cd's... When you copy, at least you listen to his music instead of to a set of rhythmic screeches...

I don't know about the whole "Hurts when they say that" bit, but I kind of understand what your getting at here. I have to believe that anyone who's content with always listening to music through their laptop speakers doesn't really appreciate it that much.

You're probably not going to make friends by saying that, so I'll just back you up and say that I couldn't agree more

.
You must miss so much of the music. You miss every detail, every bit of depth, every low tone that's in there.
Listening through laptopspeakers is killing music

.

I mean, not everyone has to be an audiophile idiot like me. But a reasonable pair of speakers, a CD player and a nice ampilifier are to be found for less than $100. I don't understand why anyone should listen to laptop speakers or the plastic crap you find in loads of houses nowadays.

Ah well, I'm getting carried away. But for me, listening to really (and I mean really) bad sound equipment and feeling fine about it, is a musical statement I can't fathom.

Me: "Do you like the Smashing Pumpkins?"
Friend" "Nah, I don't like that underground rock ****."
Me: "How are they underground, they're popular as hell."
Friend: "Yeah, maybe in the 90s."

"Yeah, they're post-<fill-in-the-blank>"
"They're <fill-in-the-blank>-core"

And more recently, "They're Electro-<fill-in-the-blank>"

also

How old is too old for a song?

50s? 60s? 70s? 80? 90?

or even 00?

I read a comment on youtube today, saying :"70s' music never get old", some guy posted on a video "Original Kung Fu Lighting". Most of people including me think this song is new in the cartoon movie "Kung Fu Panda", but we all are dead wrong. It was 70s' work. But it is still so sharp!

So it rang my bell. for songs or music, how old is too old?
