Really? Especially me? - a person whose favorite forms of music actually stretch over many genres inside a single tune or band?
You can't get much more liquid than that.

Oh, I thought we had plenty of "what are [you] listening to" threads for that. I guess making one of these threads is easier (or more effortless) than I thought.

You said genres. Which implied all genres which is inherently false. And do you really want all of us posting all of the albums we listened to in those threads? It's to keep them free of clutter.

No I'm not.
Especially Ki's clutter.

Oh, right, this is why I left.

Yes, I did say "genres." In the "what are you listening to now" thread a little while ago, I mentioned Tycho. So, which genre would you say that they are: Ambient? Avant-Pop? Post-Rock Instrumental? Psychedelic? or is it some influence-melding of all these and more? I'm thinking that it's pretty tricky to pin this down dontcha?

So, the threads where people post albums that they are listening to
are only to be used sometimes? When? Every third album ... maybe seventh?

?

I'm not even going to bother to update this thread now. **** it. It was worth a shot.

I wouldn't know. I don't listen to Tycho. But if you can't tell then maybe you should do some more research. There are set rules to what a genre is and what fits in there.

I don't care what you post and where you post it. I have my own thread to allow discussion for the albums I listen to and to help me keep track of what I have listened to this year.

Don't enjoy the banter?

As Batty would say, quit being a whiny bitch and just get on with it. **** happens, people fight/argue; it's a thread. Weave it. Man.

nah it's cool. i just see no reason to continue it if i'm doing it incorrectly. i'll let you guys keep doing what you do.

i mean i did start this thread by saying it's pretty much destined to fail.

Come on Kiiii. Keep doing it. I apologize for derailing it. You can get it back on track. I'll stay out...

Me? Do more research? I think you mean the band needs to do more research.
Maybe you should write to all those bands that fit (purposely, mostly) into various
genres and tell them that they are only allowed ONE, that's it! - just ONE genre buddy!

As for your own thread, you can, of course, do what you want.
Nobody said you should stop. Not sure where you're getting that idea.

Just curious. Do your research and tell me the ONE genre where this has to be:

Quit putting words in my mouth bud. Never said anything about being forced into one genre, that's just asinine. Look at my own threads I make sure that every base is covered. It doesn't matter to me what kind of music you are making, only that I understand what kind of music it is. That's why I wanted Kiiii to post genres. Trust me if I posted the wrong genre, and I have before, on my own thread people are quick to correct me.

EDIT: Sorry Kiiii, that was the last one.

I guess the point is that a lot of music does fit into one, or more, genres, while nobody is saying there isn't music that can't be categorised. Hell, I've even used a genre "WTF?" to label some music I've listened to! :laughing:
Now make up, boys, and give Ki back his thread.
:)

your response to me has been totally about your rigidity of genres:

My point (again) is that Kiiii shouldn't have to feel the need to label these recordings he's listening to with "genre" notifications, because genres are so damn liquid that oftentimes you can't pin it down - and he shouldn't have to.

Nothing you quoted there is wrong.

rostasi is basically a musical encyclopedia so idk if arguing with him on this on is gonna get you anywhere

So, then you would agree that this statement of yours is actually incorrect:

go ahead and lock this thread.

How are you making that connection? I guess what you said isn't what you meant.

By saying a genre is liquid, means that the genre is changing, or able to be changed. That is simply not the case. What you are probably meaning is bands and artists can be liquid with their music. Which yes.... I agree with that. No one said Gorguts couldn't go and make a psych rock record. Genres are meant for categorization and recommendations, they are not guidelines.

I'll lock it when you admit you're being a little bitch over this.

I like your thread Kiiii. You should continue it.

Appreciate the sentiment, but I can't figure out why a guy who adamantly believes that music is set-in-stone and that there is no fluidity,
then states that he thinks that the idea of set-in-stone is asinine.

Genres DO change! How do you think we get break-offs from them?
Also, the point (yet again!) is that Kiiii shouldn't have to add genres if he doesn't want to,
so stating that record is {blank -just one} genre is often meaningless.
Plus, people will give him crap over it if "he gets it wrong."

EDIT: forget it. I'm done.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed it this far. I apologize to Kiii for ****ing up his thread. I apologize to rostasi for letting my emotions get in front of my debate skills (or lack there of)

Just move along....

I second this. Continue!

Also you don't have to continue today. Take a little break and come back to the thread later on. You did post like five or six albums back to back right away.

Yeah, Kiiii! Keep it going if you want.
Just don't let others dictate.

That's unfair.

Keep going man. Ignore all the bitches. Do what you want.

Everything's cool. I'm reminded every day - multiple times - that musical genres are always in flux. It goes both ways:
multiple genres within a single tune and/or genres in flux that sometimes don't take new names.
Rap music now is not the same rap music of the '70s - even if an artist still wants to call it that today or if (s)he calls it by some slight variation.

let me sulk in my own despair and stupidity.

Other than this
* your (sorry, sorry!) :laughing:
x 2
We'll do that anyway.
Except me
No

Seriously, **** everyone Ki, just go with it. My threads get derailed all the time (often by you) so just roll with it. Hey, at least it's not being ignored. No tumbleweed here!

Final point on genre tagging: I just would prefer a basic idea of what the album is (hip-hop/ambient/metal etc) - nothing has to be set in stone. But it would be nice. It is, however, up to his Kiness, so, you know...

I was going to say yeah, but then I remembered some small inconsequential thing you did. So fuck your bitch ass and fuck the bitch ass horse you rode in on.

It got a lot of people to support you so you're welcome.

Shut up and keep it going Nancy.

you can't make me.

I'll just leave it open for all those to rape and pillage then.

come at me, ****ers

That's the spirit, champ.

I'm going to post in here everyday til you start using it you semen sod.

have fun wasting your time
