The use of the word "epic" to describe music...

[funkel]

... is now approaching or is at the state of overuse. It's becoming as desensitized of meaning as "amazing" and "awesome" have become.
Just because a song is good doesn't necessarily make it "epic."

/rant.

Ennio Morricone.

Agreed.

I agree with it. I will only use it in a circumstance where the music is truly epic.

Short rant.



'epic' is overused though, I blame the scene kids.

[thespearkid]

I try not to use "epic" to describe music at all. I'm such a music whore, I'd call everything epic and have a new "most epic record ever" every week.

I agree.

[Mxbaby511]

I use epic to describe hilarious jokes that I will never forget.
While they may not be truely epic, they will forever be epic in my own mind

[IWasaCamera]

Laughing Stock.

[robat19]

this thread is epic

[theguy77]

"epic" is for people who fail to find intelligible ways to praise specific parts of music.

[Regards]

I'm guilty of this at times, but I agree to an extent.

[kearn1tm]

Hey...sometimes, breakdowns are epic, duder.

[Montauk1222]

Agreed

I blame 4chan and every user here who frequents that website to jack off to loli.


Thats the only thing i hate about ap, it's just the same fatass 4chan nerds except with a new found glory t-shirt on.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Agreed. I kind of bored of hearing/reading "epic" or "epic fail."

Congrats, dude.

Thanks. Not sure when it even happened or what it entails though.

If you are on the board for two years and have over 1000 posts, you become prestigious.

On the board?? Posting, you mean?

[funkel]

As a member of the website, yes. You can either get 10,000 posts to become prestigious, or the way Vinh and I did it, by waiting our due time, ha.

If it keeps going down in value jeffree star fans will be able to use it to describe his songs.

I agree that it's overused. Coheed and Cambria is mostly epic. As is My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go by Aerogramme.

[dancelukedance]

This is how i'd use "epic" in a sentence:

Pirates of the carribean is an EPIC movie.


Using epic to describe music as awesome is ridiculous

Good album.

Using epic to describe a Walt Disney shitfest is equally ridiculous.

True that about the Aereogramme album hey? Such a shame they're gone.

Epic is the only way to describe Source Tags & Codes, but unfortunately the great majority of people here haven't been blessed by it's sonic awesomeness.

Is it really that good? I've never listened to it and I'm not a fan of ...Trail of Dead at all. Recommended if I like?

[oddwithoutend]

I agree that "Epic" is overused, and is developing a very broad definition, but I feel like providing things that make me want to call a certain song epic. I am tempted to label long songs that discuss topics in a way that is more than personal or possibly from an omniscient point of view as epic. Ambient sounds at the beginning and end of a song gives it a more epic feel to me, and also multiple transitions and musical changes/themes has the same effect. And songs with choruses are less likely to sound epic to me.

But yeah haha, way too overused.

To say that it's fucking amazing isn't a strong enough description. The album doesn't really sound like anything else. Songs range from post hardcore for fans of At the Drive In and Blood Brothers to guitar epics for fans of Death Cab and Modest Mouse...and then at times mixes them together. It's definitely a grower of an album though. It might be better to start with the more accessible Worlds Apart.

[Crimson Reaper]

I think epic songs should be songs that go on for ages. Like A - Cartel, or Konstantine - Something Corporate, if it passes say 6 minutes is epic. Epic in length

not "OMG THE LATEST TWO MINUTE BURST FROM BRING ME THE HORIZON is epic" because, it really isn't

Every song written by a post-rock band would be epic then. This is not the case.

[Brokenhill]

...should only be used for Pink Floyd, and on a few other rare occasions.
