Big Four Bands Thread Round 19: Gothic Rock

**Frownland** · 08-19-2016, 10:42 AM

We should give people a little longer than two hours imo.

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 10:44 AM

Then until the end of the day. We're already behind schedule in deciding the next genre.

I'm cool. I haven't voted yet, but I'm just here for the lulz.

We have a week of voting on golden age hip hop first, I don't think the thread is going to fall apart any more than it already has.

I think the people who are going to vote did. I didn't vote cause I know nothing about the genre and I personally don't think a week is enough time to become acquainted with the genre properly.

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 10:55 AM

@blank. Possibly.

@Frown. That's not the point. I plan out the next genre a week ahead of time because the decisions were harder to make when we didn't plan out the next genre after the current one until the last minute. I'm trying to avoid being rushed. With golden age hip hop, trip hop, then stoner rock, we have the next three weeks planned ahead of us and we won't have to decide on the genre after stoner rock until the trip hop's Tuesday.

Fine, be anal about it.

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 11:05 AM

I don't see what's so anal about planning ahead and having a schedule. The set schedule gives us more time to prepare for the genres that we don't have any experience from. Example: many people here clearly have much more experience than I do regarding golden age hip hop, and hip hop in general. Some of you will already have your vote planned out with no problem, and some of you will have to think about it but most likely not have to play any albums. You can spend the golden age week playing trip hop and stoner rock if you don't have any experience there.

I know it might be a little bit obsessive, but I still think it's a good way to get more users into more genres. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty dedicated since I not only have a new area to listen to and a good excuse to finally do so, I have to so that I can construct a vote in the event that we are lacking in votes.

So forgive me if my schedule annoys you, but I think if we're going to have a game, we should at least (like you've said) give users more time to listen to the albums and make a decision. I think a set schedule can do that for users who have little to no experience in some styles but plenty of experience in others.

He anally retorted.

Whatever. The schedule still stays. Unless you have a more constructive argument.

By the way, 45 minutes until delta blues is done and Golden Age Hip Hop begins.
