Nah, it just reminded me of the mid 80s here, coming out of the death of disco and the like, and for a while, music was so freaking polarizing. Then came the refreshing college radio bands that really didnt care what category you put them in, stuff like REM and the Violent Femmes and a lot of us teenagers that had grown used to being in our little boxes clutching our self-identified genre vinyls, learned that music can be free and fun instead of something that causes identity paranoia.

/me puts on "World Wide Live" :cheese:

DISCO NEVER DIED!!!!!  :shock:

It just went on a holiday... itll be back my friend... itll be back!  :mrgreen:

Quote from: maximusotterYoull grow out of it, Chris. No slight against Metal, but I have a hard time with most of it and various punk sects that seem obsessed with labeling themselves into narrower and narrower sub-genres. Its like observing some sort of identity crisis. I dont care if youre Hardcore-Emo-Metal-Retro-Transexual-Overbitten-Incontinent-Groove-Core, just play some f*cking music and shut up.

Trust me Max, I wont grow out of it. I know plenty of people far older than me who as youd say "just love the f*cking music". I love lots of things outside of metal as well, but my love for the genre (and I use the term very loosely) has only increased as Ive found the means to discover more extreme and avant-garde variations on the theme. If you believe that the majority of metal is "obsessed with labeling themselves into narrower and narrower sub-genres" then you havent a clue what I listen to.

For what its worth I agree with you. I abhor the genre rush and love music of all styles. I just find it very condescending playing the age card. "Youll grow out of it".   How very patronising and supercilious of you.

Jeez, Chris, notice the smilies, for crying out loud. Im just making a wee bit of fun out of the meme, "youll grow out of it."

They do say that people usually stop being curious about music after age 25, so "growing out of it" usually means stagnating in your tastes. Ive found just the opposite to be true, I dig just about everything from neo-soul to Bach cello solo suites to Al Green to Tammy Wynette. Earnestness I can appreciate, pretense makes me hurl. Tongue in cheek make me giggle. Thats why I was a Smiths fan for years, even though people made fun of me for it.

Metals a wierd one. I like some of the cheese metal from the mid 80s, as a lot of it was talented stuff with awful lyrics and worse pants. The classic metal of the 70s is great as well. What I hear now with metal and a lot of rock, including the last Chile Peppers disc, is OK tunes with horrid production. Way, way too much compression and lack of audio dynamic. Its like folks are scared of not being loud all the time. Sheesh, CDs have something like 50% better handling of audio dynamics compared to vinyl, but people are still compressing more, and mixing way too hot.

Hello am not a little goth princess i can be when i want but am not i just like that type of music and i very much doubt that i will grow out of it, you got that?

And as for the reason i dont like the song its because the lyrics are crap, all she sings about imo  is a train.
The drums and bass isnt good its just plain annoying!!!!


And i am NOT RUDE

Sorry for ignoring the smileys Max, but a lot of people look down on metal as being a "bit of phase". Its something I was told a lot in my youth yet it find the genre as a whole has an awful lot to offer and if you look hard enough you can find things of all tastes and styles. People just dont take the time to scratch the surface unfortunately and miss what a lot of its really about. Im sure kinkybiatch is being told the same thing by her parents and peers at this point in her youth. Indeed she may grow out of it, she may not, and her eloquence aside Im not going to be the one to suggest I have a crystal ball and can predict the future. A lot of those who were simply into metal for the rebellious outlet it offered did grow out of it. A few however stuck with it, dug a bit deeper and discovered some absolutely stunning musicians, lyricists and compositions. Taste is a funny old game.

I love the mid-80s cheese metal. I dont really rate anything like the Chilli Peppers or anything in the mainstream as applicable to my tastes. Id never rule it out; there are some great mainstream artists out there. I just find myself drawn towards things to try to push the genre (theres that dreaded word again), artists who try and do something a bit different or dont just stand on convention and do the same as everyone else. The bands that play to smokey clubs with sticky floors, packed to the brim with 30 people. If you scour through those occasionally you find a real gem whos doing something very special. Production values are a funny old game. Ive bought a few supposed metal albums from quite big bands with a large budget that have a really weak production. Ignoring the black metal adage that it isnt black metal (theres the dreaded G word again) unless its recorded in a cupboard under the stairs they completely lack any from of "oomph" for want of a better word. Its metal for crying out loud, use the medium to the best of its ability and spend a little time in the studio getting the mix right so it really blows your socks off. Then you purchase something from a really small band like the Meads of Asphodel or the mighty Sagoths latests offering , and theyve really laboured in the post-production to get it sounding like (how I think, anyway) a metal album really should sound.

My playlist sees the aforementioned extreme metal rubbing shoulders with Brian Eno, Pluck (a great string triplet comedy act), Pink Floyd, Wagner, Shostakovich, Johnny Cash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Vince DiCola, Vashti Bunyan, Takako Minekawa, Wendy Carlos, Der Blutharsch, Kratwerk, Gary Numan (new and old), Hilmar Ãâ€"rn Hilmarsson, Ihsahn, some British military bands, Orbital, Sigur Rós. Its like you say, if its good music, then its GOOD music and Ill listen to it.

Quote from: kinkybitchWhat a load of bullsh*t

I got some wilted roses and a book of Blake poetry if youre interested.

Seriously, theres much to love about that song. Its a TRAIN song for crying out loud, complete with the traditional drum-guitar march to emulate said train. Its also a song about lost love, and its sung in three part harmony with a guitar part thatss a homage to Carl Perkins if I ever heard one.

As a cure for your misfortunate mope music, I recommend both the Shangri-Las and Ronnettes Greatest hits, a convertible 65 T-bird, a full tank of gass, and some sunshine. That damp must have gotten to you.

lol relax max, shes just emo, she just needs to lose her patch and shell be back to being a functioning member of society.

Rather than Miss Mopeypants.

I AM NOT EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMOOOOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


DONT EVER CALL ME ONE OF THEM OR ALL START CALLING YOU CHAVS

definition of a goth

Someone who likes the darker side of things. They usually listen to death metal and goth music, such as Dismember and Bauhaus. Marilyn Manson is NOT goth. Hes just...weird. Real goths are not depressing and suicidal like the posers you see at Hot Topic. Goths are fun to be around and arent afraid to laugh at themselves every so often. They dont worship Satan and arent evil despite what some ignorant people might say. Goths dont all dress alike either. They like to create their own unique style. Goths are also very intelligent and creative. A lot of them are writers and artists. Goths DONT envy the popular people. They are what they are because it makes them happy. Goths would rather stay who they are and be among the so called "freaks" than be like everyone else and be popular. They understand that there are more important things in life than popularity, and usually succeed in life while the popular ones dont become much of anything.

If someone becomes "goth" because they couldnt get any friends or are depressed and angry all the time, they are most likely a poser.


definition of an emo


Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

Overall for me I dress Metal/Punk, more punk than anything. Yet my genre of music is a mix of Metal, Hardcore, Death Metal, Techno, DnB, Rock, Punk, Emo.

So bands such as Metallica, Bullet for my Valentine, Slayer, Infected Mushroom, The Prodigy, Buzzcocks and Fall Out Boy.

How you look, what you listen to it doesnt matter. I hang around with charvs, emos, goths the lot. To be honest all of them are as intresting as the next one..

i listen to practically anything,
