[Cottonball]

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep"Loves" doesn't quite describe it. She falls perfectly under "pop" music.
Kyel loves 8-bit remixes.
Well, I can honestly I say I don't give a *censored.2.0* about this guy. I also find it impossible to believe that people will listen to this type of music with any frequency.
Comatose loves Skillet.
And Flyleaf/Anberlin, as do many other people if I go by what people put in their sigs/threads about music.
A lot of users like Eminimes (SPfail) "Recovery" album, rap.
Seriously? His name is Eminem... like the candy, but not plural. Also, that was one thread, involving Fabio. Fabio is a wild card, because I think that guy smokes meth.
I like Muse
As do I, although they recently wrote a truly terrible song for that *censored.3.0*ing Twilight movie. Ugh. Also their music is inching towards sounding over-produced.
Kaleb loves older music 60s-80s.
I will be in my 30s before I will let people describe 80s music as "old". He has said that he likes The Beatles, besides that I've seen him talk about pop music more.
Tyeforce loves Crush 40.
Tyeforce is not to be talked about.
A lot of users like Owl City.
Oh God, I hope not. Guy is an exact copy of the Postal Service, only with no balls.
I'm sure we have some weeaboos that love anime songs.
True dat.favorite bands.

Read my comments... and I think the main problem we have here is that everyone is *censored.3.0*ing 10 years old. Jesus Christ.

Er, Anberlin isn't even in my top 20 bands. :/

Hey, you can't expect me to keep all you people straight. There's like fifty people on here of which I only have a peripheral awareness.

Oh ok.

Anyway, I'm probably gonna go to bed now.

Night! :]

Aw, cute story.
I was referring to the irrational mainstream music hater, and, as you said, you simply don't think there are many people out there like that, but that's an opinion. There are, I see it all the time. *censored.3.0*, people stop listening to some of their favorite bands because suddenly they're mainstream and have a horrid fan base.

*censored.3.0*, if Modest Mouse went totally mainstream I wouldn't give a *censored.2.0*.

Fabio, since when have you started liking Modest Mouse?

I've been listening to them before you knew they existed.

Never really saw you talk about them until recently, it was always Sum 41 with you.

And yeah, probably. I only started listening to them a little over a year ago, but *censored.3.0*, Isaac Brock is a genius.

My musical tastes, shortened. For future reference.

Punk. My favorite genre, and all of its sub-genres. This includes, but is not limited to, Sex Pistols, The Misfits, Rancid, Choking Victim, Screeching Weasel, (now entering my jock and prep pop-punk) blink-182, Sum 41, Amber Pacific, All Time Low, Cartel, and yes, Fall Out Boy.

Rap. This includes, and is limited to, Jay-Z and Eminem. Along with the odd song thrown in here and there.

And finally, the indie punk/rock scene. This includes, but is not limited to, Modest Mouse, Vampire Weekend, Radiohead (some).

Ska's alright, too. I'm talking Streetlight Manifesto, Sublime. That *censored.2.0*.

I used to be really into screamo, heavy rock, metal, that *censored.2.0*. When I was like, 14. Not any more. System of a Down is still great, though.

Frankly I really don't buy into the stereotype of the irrational mainstream-music-hater (or many other stereotypes for that matter.) I see it all the time, but I simply do not think that there are very many people that are actually like that. Sure there are people who don't listen to any mainstream music, but I think it more has to do with a disinterest in it and the world around it.

(crying)

I see people lampooning the notion of losing interest in a band because it went mainstream far more often than I see people actually doing it.

On top of that, we are talking about people who immediately shun any music because it is "mainstream", not people who lose interest in a band because they feel it has "sold out".

I'm sorry, but in what way is Modest Mouse not mainstream? Their last album hit number one in the U.S., didn't it?

What do you mean by "people who lose interest in a band because they feel it has "sold out"."?
I'm talking about people who suddenly lose interest in a band because they go mainstream. That's all there is to it. It isn't really a difficult concept. Don't get so into it. There are people that believe mainstream bands aren't worth listening to simply because they're mainstream. That's it.
And yeah, I suppose there is a difference between people who say it and those who do it, but how would you know they don't actually do it if they deny it or keep it a secret?

I have no idea, I don't keep track of album rankings. Even so, you don't see as many people that listen or know of Modest Mouse as say, Lady Gaga o r Lil' Wayne, and whatnot.
In addition, a lot of people still believe Modest Mouse has still kept that "indie" feel to them despite having gone big.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepa lot of music is *censored.2.0*

I'm sure you do, David. Don't you have some supermodel to rub one out to before you go to sleep in a pool of your own sweat and tears? Just wondering.

Te quiero, David.

Why do you want David, exactly?

"Te quiero" means "I love you". Not really literally, but that's what it means. Not in like an amorous way, though.

I was wondering which meaning of the synonym you were using. Just clarifying.

When I said "Mainstream Music" in my first post, I didn't mean all of it. I was mainly talking about artists like Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg, Taylor Swift, Rhianna, and The Black Eyed Peas.

Not all mainstream music is terrible, just like not all indie, instrumental or christian is terrible.

 

[Mino]

I suggest you start with rock's beginning and work your way through its various different genres until the present and tell me that TKR is a good example of rock.

W/e you don`t understand what I was saying.

I listen to plenty of different rock artists, some going back to the 80's and 90's. I still like TFK though.

I almost missed this one. How can someone say with a straight face that listening to bands that were started in the 80s satisfies going back to "rocks' beginning"?!

Another thing, could your dislike for these artists/bands be related to just a dislike for their genre?

To be honest, I don't find any of them completely terrible.
Well except Snoop Dogg, can't really say about him because I don't listen to his music, but personally I think some of those artists have their fair share of good songs. Although, I listen most to soft post-punk like music so I can't really say, I'm not that picky when it comes to music though, I just stay away from some genres, but I'm pretty open minded or at least okay with some of those artists.

And Modest Mouse was plenty popular around the release of their last album, but I will admit they aren't as mainstream as the "artists" you listed. As for it keeping its "indie" feel, I can't comment because I haven't listened to that band much.

I dislike pop and dance music in general, but I mainly dislike the actual artists, the lack of musical creativity (depth of lyrics) and other things.

I do like some pop and dance (GaGa, Group 1 Crew) but there are far more artists I dislike.

And I've seen those artists live and I hate when they have to rely on gimmicks to put on a good show. I like straightforward concerts better, but that's just me.

Well I recommend you listen to them a bit more. They're pretty unique, and the lyrics are just amazing and full of meaning.

@Coma: Yeah. I kind of like dance music though. And of course, the lyrics do lack depth and whatnot, for some of them, or are just really cliche, however, what I'm trying to say is that they're still alright for just casual listening. Really, I don't think any of them are really unbearable. To me, something unbearable would be the sound of the music, not necessarily the lyrics. Although they're kind of complementary. But eh, I listen to music more for the sounds than for the lyrics per se, but good lyrics are also a plus.

AC/DC has its place in music, but I can't say I would ever find myself listening to their music. I've heard most all of it, though.

And you know that Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were pretty much diametrically opposed to the kind of music made by every other artist on that list? To quote one of Cobain's songs:

"GOD IS GAAAAAY"
