OT IM Spillover- Why do you guys like garbage music?

Your title implies that you are some authority on what is good and what isn't, which qualifies you for Biggest Douche in the Universe award. Congrats!

Go back to the OT.

Hey man, I said no trolling

I almost made a similar thread about Music Elitism.

I am, 100% without a doubt, a huge music snob. I admit it, but I honestly think I have a superior taste in music. I realize I sound like a major douchebag saying that (and I feel like one as I type) but it is true. I don't let that strong opinion affect other aspects of life though. I'd say my friends have a better taste than your average American, but most of them aren't too into it. One of my very best friends doesn't even listen to music. It is strange how it can grip some people so hard yet others are indifferent.

I understand where you are coming from Heady. I used to feel I had some "superior taste" when it came to music. But once you try to argue with someone who doesn't have the same tastes, you realize it is pointless because who are you to tell someone that they shouldn't like something because you dislike it? Taste in music is an opinion and that's it. I'm all for discussions on talent, influences, etc because those are tangible things. To start a thread or comment on a thread to just say that the music another poster likes is garbage...well that is just an asinine thing to do. It doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Religion, politics, Phish

Things not to be discussed in polite company

guess what, it isn't subjective. I listen to better music than you do. deal with it.

It absolutely is and repeating this doesn't make you any less of a douche. You can argue that you listen to music that is more fulfilling to you than top 40, but what you are trying to compare makes no sense. I like my steak medium rare with no sauce or anything to accompany it. Some people like steak well done. While I think my steak tastes better than it would well done, some people think the opposite for their own reasons. Personal preferences, when it comes to taste, are a silly thing to argue about.

Heady I don't like Phish but I think I can grasp why you and others do. I think it's great to have a band that you like so much that you listen to every live concert that's ever been recorded.

After about 8 beers and a few fat rails I'll start ranting into like why mid 70's Bowie is the greatest period of any music ever made and Brain Eno is a genius and shite like that

Clears out rooms quick

I'm not in love with the idea of the Tier 1 IM Cleek coming here and taking over, but...

I fail to see how this is any worse than the (c)rap threads that already inflict the board

Thank god

I'm all for good trolls

337/KevinGates was not a good troll
