[Osthropek]

this band got me through some troubled times and it's a wonder that i didn't lose my hearing

[RunPoo1]

Awesome!..suck it commercial radio. 

[carefaceeightyseven]

How about you both shut up and enjoy this for what it is, good fucking music.

[Parvenu333]

Also, stop being a condescending asshole. It's clear to me at least that you are definitely not more enlightened than me (all that Socratesian crap that you left me on my profile--save it for philosophy 101) I don't respect you--not because you like this music, but because of WHY you like it.

As I said, technicality =/= musicality, and loudness (I feel like an idiot even addressing it) =/= musicality. Both can be used to make music, but do not stand alone.

Answer me.

[Parvenu333]

@cursedvanity You're still under the impression that dance music cannot be valid artistically, which I've already addressed. This is dance music, and has validity in that realm, but nowhere else.

The only reason I left the comment addressing your points was because I was taken aback by the terms you were using to judge musicality. This may be musical, but not in the terms that you put it in... that's my argument.

[cursedvanity]

@Parvenu333 well looks like youre already done discussing

guess i shouldve checked if i was talking to a twelve year old before i wasted my time huh bro bo bro bo bo?

you cant just keep changing the definitions of your terms. i dont think you know how to have a discussion at all ;-)

[Parvenu333]

I want to address two points as well:

"the drumming is very technical..."

Technicality does not equate to musicality, ever.

"...and you fail to consider that such a large sound is created by just two people."

I don't understand how that's an argument for musicality either because if I plug into as many amps as the bass player does, I'll sound just as loud as him. Loudness = musicality? That's even worse than the first one.

So much talk about "baselessness," yet read above... I dunno...

[Parvenu333]

@cursedvanity I never said dance music doesn't have artistic merit. I can see how you might infer that, but let me clarify: what I meant was that if you don't acknowledge it as dance music, you are a fool. It's like admiring a sculpture thinking that it's a painting; both have merit, just in different ways.

Also, opinions should be inherently recognized without subjective terms, intrinsically, in the fact that people are saying them. I should not have to inhibit myself by saying "I think."

[cursedvanity]

@cursedvanity how about this

if you want to go on and on about how youre trying to have a discussion and hold opinions try using terms like "i feel" and "i think"

subjective terms

get it?

see now im being a responsible elder so you can stop whining about how im frustrating you so much

thanks for listening duder :-)

[cursedvanity]

@Parvenu333 i already stated my opinion but you are attempting to paint me as a villain

i think that this is music with artistic merit

you think that its just dance music

two opinions stated

if you had such a grand idea about us understanding each other

then you should consider my previous comment about critical dialogue

i have seen this band live and respect their musicianship

the drumming is very technical and you fail to consider that such a large sound is created by just two people
