This article isn't very well written and seems poorly thought out. His comments about EDM make it sound like he thinks it's something new, which makes him seem as clueless as the people he's railing against. His two comments about "edge" somewhat contradict each other. And his comment about politics is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time.

IDK either BlackFrancis, to be honest with you. ;)

Maybe its the FACT that 85% of this forum, and people outside of this discussion-community in society are all white-sheep, bland, followers, on-the-surface, no character having, mediocre and average at best. The normal ones who get complacent in their ways, think with ego and emotion and get easily bothered and annoyed when something is different. Low level of intellect, low level of talent, theyre critics not creators. :band:

You mean like the author of the article?

No, he actually possess all of those qualities in essence, to a certain degree. Frankly, much higher than the people I meant to direct that to, people like you.

So he's not a critic?

Admittedly, I somehow missed that you were quoting him, not putting forward your own views, but you're aware he was fired from his mid-level music industry job and has never put his name on a single high-charting record? His career was nonexistent until he went online and started pretending to know what he was talking about for the benefit of other baby-boomers who want to believe they're counterculture and not simply part of the problem.

He is to a certain extent, same with me to a certain extent, same with everyone to their extent, but relaying off what I said earlier, he possesses other qualities to a certain degree because by him being critical he elevates his views to a higher level by getting inspired to write about it thus creating another entry to add to his creation - his website filled with stuff he created - posts. The talent is not his writing style, but the fact he doesn't truly care if people love him or hate his guts. Its rare to have that quality due to most ppl wanting to be liked by everyone. Especially in this interactive social media age where everything is shared and exposed. To have guts is a talent. If someone were to say this man is dumber than dirt, then that'd be true arrogance because you don't stay relevant for what's almost going on 15 years if you don't know what you're doing.

All good, just a misreading or misunderstanding, no worries.

I am actually aware of those facts. Where I differ is that I truly think he doesn't pretend. I honestly believe he 1000% goes full force behind what he says. I'd even go to the extent to say as he types up his blog posts, he has a good feeling of what reaction he'll get before he hits publish. I think he felt this way during the process since when he went online in 2000. I don't glorify or idolize the man. I disagree with a lot of his points but agree with a lot too. I respect him cause he has guts, but I wouldn't bend over backwards for the guy or compare him to JFK.

In any event, I didn't think this thread would go more than one page. It started discussion though where anyone can voice an opinion, and that's all that matters to me.

I mean his job title is "critic".
