What are the most boring music genres ever created?

I think there's a lot of room for this to be great, but it is seriously bogged down by the slightly heavier than usual blues rock you describe.

Ugggghhhhhhhh I ****ing hate this with all of my life. Just thinking of what pops up into people's heads when you tell them you like metal makes me sad.

It's almost worse with jazz because when you say that you like jazz, people usually think you like some weak ass Kenny G ****. Nah son, the jazz I listen to will make your momma cry.

It's especially sad when they try to relate to you by telling you about how they saw Tool in concert once or whatever.

Yep. Same goes for when you say you like electronic music and they think you mean cheeseball club music.

Ja, I totally wouldn't relate to that at all...

Definitely this as well. It'd make more sense as a response to techno, but even then it's still pretty off the mark.

This is your forum now? When was the coup? How did you seize power? Is Yac ok? I don't mind, I'd just like some time to liquidate some assets and get in touch with my brokers in Zurich before you enact any sweeping reforms. Can you give me twenty-four hours?

Yeah, worse if they then drop their pants...

Or "Oh, like Iron Maiden or Motorhead?"
If you're lucky.

Add another to the pile: nu-country or whatever the **** the likes of Garth Brooks, Nathan Carter and Randy Travis sing. Jesus.

You saw The Residents, would've been a ****ing great experience

Well Bob was ****ing amazing on the guitar, Rico was an adequate replacement for Chuck, and Randy was amazing at first but fizzled out about halfway through and became tiresome at points, and that's really unfortunate because Shadowland is basically a Randy showcase. Great visual display and I had a great time, but I wish I had seen them on an earlier tour (like the one that was in walking distance of my house but I was too young for the venue).

Lot of weirdos there too. I saw Marc Maron.

I saw the name and was like, "I ****ing know that name but can't place it," so I Googled it and realized he was in Glow, the show I just marathoned over the last two days. Small world.

**Frownland** · 06-27-2017, 09:49 PM

Not really. The show was in LA. He lives in LA. I lived close to LA. I went to that show. I ****post on the same forum as you. The world isn't small you dumb ****.

Then you must mention Marc Maron a lot. Like, you probably want him to **** you in the ass and won't shut up about it, or else it's still a coincidence since I don't even know if I'd heard of him till two days ago.
