No, I'm just curious why you feel dancing around on stage is a bad thing.

I know someone who straight up cried to Donatella by Lady Gaga. The only way that I have been able to justify people being engaged by mainstream pop and other hyper derivative genres of music is that they aren't artistically intelligent.

Pretentious much?

Reminds of the people who will only eat USDA Prime Cut Filet Mignon beef, and look down on people who are perfectly happy and content with a simple hamburger.

No, I don't really agree with that analogy. I moreso see it as someone who spends their time watching Blues Clues and playing Duck, Duck, Goose.

I'm not saying if someone enjoys a mainstream pop song they are less intelligent, I'm more so saying if that is your sole taste in music and you find it wholeheartedly engaging and fulfilling from an artistic standpoint, you probably lack the artistic intelligence to appreciate more complex art. I've never once seen someone discuss the theory or the emotional weight of a Katy Perry song. It is inherently less complex, and if your sole musical outlook is Katy Perry songs, you are artistically simple, in my eyes.

Nope. You are coming off very pretentious with that line of thinking. Some people love Beethoven. Some people love The Ramones. Some people love them both. Artistic intelligence is not the issue. It's what gets you off when you turn it up and listen.

I'm assuming you're a fan of Katy Perry.

It wasn't a comeback. It was an assumption. If I look at the Katy Perry thread, am I going to see posts from you?

Dude (assuming you're a dude) I appreciate KP for what she does. She's a hell of an entertainer. The SB halftime show was spectacular. If a % of her fans decide to not go further than her as their fave musician it's all good.

I don't listen to KP at all unless it's being played in a place where I'm having lunch for the record.

And your comment about finding posts from me in the KP thread makes you look even more pretentious - for what it's worth.

You'll see posts from me. Call me artistically unintelligent.
