people who listen to only one genre of music and 'diss' other styles and the people who listen to it.

People, usually "metalheads", who judge a band's/musician's greatness soley on technical proficiency. They're usually the same people who love to talk sh!t about hip-hop, which also pisses me off. C'mon people, a handful of style is worth a bucketload of skill anyday.

i could have used that in a discussion with fenix a while back....

So true

I remember a while back on another forum mainly full of metalheads being lynched for suggesting that Dream Theater were bloody awful

when musics classified

and you ran all the way to the sanctuary that is musicbanter

MO to the SATCH!

well, i hate people who do stuff thats bad...

I don't likr THat modern R&B contains little rythm and no blues.... Whens the last time you heard a R&B song that started with "I woke up this mornin'"

whereas style is important, music is skill. you can not play instruments be stylish, and go act or something. but you ain't got the skillz to pay the billz than get the **** out.

technical proficiency is good up until the music starts to have no emotion or vibe to it.

Oh so true, bands like Dream Theater fall under this category. All skill but no fun what so ever to listen to.
