Ranting About Music

[gcmaniac]

why do people rant about music constantly? not good ranting but negative ranting? like why post in a thread to discuss how much you hate a band? its not like your'e going to change someone's mind. So why waste your time typing? We all have free will to listen to whatever we want to, so why do we enter threads to bash music we hate? The type of bashing I talk about isnt even constructive, its just stupid...

then it gets disgusting when a large number of APveterans tag team an APnewbie.
These actions bring me to believe that the whole "Thread System" devalues music... Anyone else agree?

[Kid B]

cuz its fun

[gcmaniac]

not really...

[versus_god]

'Cause it's my job to keep punk rock elite.

This.

[gcmaniac]

is it impossible to have a SERIOUS discussion...?

[briankohl]

You bring up a really legitimate argument but try not expect any real answers here.

[ThisIsNotDan]

learn to ignore it and you'll like it here better

[steviestare]

is it impossible to have a SERIOUS discussion...?
Yes.

[gcmaniac]

pfft!!!

[steviestare]

Just on a serious note for a second. iTunes devalues music.

thats totally irrelevant...

[fadedmemories]

Ranting makes you awesome.

[steviestare]

You mentioned Threads devaluing music. I blamed iTunes.

what is your warrant for that arguement?

[steviestare]

what is your warrant for that arguement?
iTunes has been driving down the cost of music for a long time. Putting a lot of financial pressure on many labels. Labels fear that machine.

ok but that still doesnt address the arguement that people on THREADS devalue music in essence not in monetary value

I don't see how threads devalue music. They only time threads sink to that level is when a stupid thread is posted and vets make a point to point it out.

*sighs* re-read my first post...

[Kid B]

Lol this site is basically becoming /b/, but I don't mind.

[steviestare]

You're doing what your first post gets at. Just not at music....

[x togepi x]

i think shitty bands devalue music. like the ones pretty much all the new people and the chat kids like.

[joss d.]

yes

[TryAgainDarling]

but ranting about negative ranting isn't going to change anything either. People will still bash the bands they hate instead of just supporting the ones they love

[RamInGoreville]

Why would you post on the forums and NOT expect to get "bashed"

It's the internet, people say what they want, which usually is whatever gives them the most fun. I hate all these posts about people who are so offended people ranting them about music.

It's the fucking internet, who cares. Go cry.

[gcmaniac]

people are totally missing the point...

[steviestare]

people are totally missing the point...
You're on the wrong if you want to try and tell people they are "devaluing music."

[x togepi x]

i devalue the fuck out of music.

[RamInGoreville]

It's not our fault you like shitty music!

[x togepi x]

i'm listening to katy perry

[RamInGoreville]

i'm listening to katy perry

Hot n Cold ftw.

[steviestare]

i'm listening to katy perry
Haha.

[x togepi x]

Hot n Cold ftw.

HOW DID YOU FUCKING KNOW?

hahahaha

[gcmaniac]

*sighs* I think society takes pleasure out of trying to sound cool with their little quips "It's not our fault you like shitty music!" than actually being rational minded human beings and engaging in intelligent conversation. The point i was making about the devaluing of music is that people dont respect others opinions enough to just SHUT THE FUCK UP and let them enjot their selected choice of music. That is the only rational statement made after my first post.

Bad music is bad. That is not an opinion.

NEWS FLASH: there are no facts, only opinions

Haha it's the only good one! Catchy as fuck.

1. I was mocking you by saying that, idiot.
2. How can you tell whether or not I can make intelligent conversation by one post? Read my reviews then.

Haha I don't understand why you care about what people on the internet think about you.

GTFO then biaa

[x togepi x]

You don't believe this since you're talking about rationality in the posts before this.

[RamInGoreville]

Yes.

[steviestare]

NEWS FLASH: there are no facts, only opinions
It is fact that some music is just bad.

You are being a hypocrite by the way. You are ranting about how people shouldn't be ranting.

[gcmaniac]

when did i insinuate that i care what people think about me?

[steviestare]

You have been. You would have posted and let it be if you didn't care.

[KidRobot]

i devalue the fuck out of music.

Fuck music.

[gcmaniac]

Can YOU READ??? I never said ranting in general was bad...i only said that negative ranting on music is bad!!! thus I am not a hypocrite.

[x togepi x]

i'm listening to mgmt so i'm trying!

[RamInGoreville]

when did i insinuate that i care what people think about me?

Well then why are you making such a big deal about everything?

Obviously someone must have commented that you have a shitty taste in music, and you decided to make a thread crying about it.

Sucks.

[RamInGoreville]

i'm listening to mgmt so i'm trying!

Kids?

I'm goin' 2 for 2.

[x togepi x]

Kids?

I'm goin' 2 for 2.

[RamInGoreville]

It is the same concept. You are just saying it is different so it fits what you want to do. Ranting is ranting is ranting. Regardless of topic.

ok listen man... you missed the whole piont of this thread. this thread is a thread on my repsonse to people creating threads like "worst band ever" and "whos worse blah or blah?" Does it really matter which band is worse because there will always be someone out there who disagrees with you.

Not really, because everything I say is right.

Duh.

That is why these are fucking DISCUSSION FORUMS! These aren't lets have everyone agree and be boring as fuck forums.

[gcmaniac]

hahaha funny

[steviestare]

no
This explains everything. Your argument is solid.

so you justify negativity? drama? assholistic conversations and the like?

This is ap, not one of those pussy ass forums.

We go hard as fuckk

[steviestare]

That is human nature. Unless you are going to claim to be Vulcan or something, you can't go telling people that shit like that is bad.

You seem like you want everyone to agree. Why is this?

Ranting about ranting is what this forum needs.

Fairly certain "fun" is subject to preference.

Let's all stop posting to avoid situations where two individuals may disagree with each other. Play it safe.
