Gene Simmons On Lip-Syncing

"You're an idiot" (and its derivatives) are the only phrases for which I feel compelled to correct the usage of your vs. you're.

Indie isn't the current manifestation of alternative?

Silversun Pickups, you have fooled me well!

Edit: Fine if you don't want to admit to Indie as alternative, then Coldplay has 3 songs on the damned 100.

Also, as for indie rock and alternative being completely different...let's just go with the first sentence on wikipedia:

Indie definitely isn't alternative.

Also, if you can't have a discussion without slinging insults, GTFO.

Thank you Sylow that made me laugh lol. (being sincere)

@Weakness. IMO it isn't. Nirvana, Hole, JA those are alternative. But like I had said earlier. art/music/literature its all objectionable. I just called him an idiot cause he called me one :)

You know wiki.... ugh... I have a problem wiki after the other day. Sylow you'd appreciate this. Go lookup "Muscle hypertrophy" in wiki and all the "citation's needed"

I could be really wrong on this, but I believe that most (if not all) music genres are derived somehow or other from classical.

In other words, my personal favorite (rock) wouldn't even be around if classical hadn't been here first. So maybe the same number of people don't listen to classical as listen to Justin Beiper, but classical is still very relevant. Other genres are built off of it, influenced by it. This sounds corny, but it's a bit infused into society around us. If you ride an elevator, chances are it will play you classical music. If you are put on hold by a professional company, chances are they will play you classical music. There is at least one radio station in nearly every city I've lived in devoted only to classical.

I.. I don't think anyone here is saying that it's not relevant. I think that Cuelebra is trying to say that the hordes and masses prefer other things because they are a bunch of doofs who have the freedom to like god-awful music if they want to. But classical will always, always be relevant. That's why it's "classic." If I've misunderstood the whole thing, then please forgive me. D:

Nope you hit my point dead on. Thank you. I can go eat dinner now lol

His point was missed in his misuse of "passe" to refer to classical music.

If there was no religion in the world i'm pretty sure people/countries would kill each other over music tastes.

This thread is terribly serious about something so subjective.

You act like people who listen to Coldplay deserve to live, or something.

WAIT! What?!? What radio station is this? I don't think I've heard Milli-Vanilli since I moved here in 2003! What?

On another note...At least Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Delibes, and Bizet could illustrate a story through dance without using lyrics! OMG! What am I getting myself into?!?

I would [+] this post so many times if I could.

Missed this. If we're gonna get up in arms about Indie not being alternative, then Nirvana is grunge, and Hole is a spite against all music.

Edit: Bleh sorry tried to fix the quoting my own text in the other post and some how ended up posting it again. Deleted the other D:

That's also subjective. If no one gave me a program to a ballet, I'd have no *** clue what the story was.

Oh boy, the "which sub-sub-genre is that band?" game. My favorite!

Backread! This all started when Cuel said that watching Madonna perform was like watching a ballet.

LOOK AT THE STARS
LOOK HOW THEY SHINE FOR YOUUUUUUUUU
AND EVERYTHING YOU DOOOOOOOOOO
YEAH, THEY WERE ALL YELLOW

I CAME ALONG
I WROTE A SONG FOOOOOOOR YOUUUUUUUUUU
AND ALL THE THINGS YOU DOOOOOOOOOO
AND IT WAS CALLED "YELLOW"

I consider Wikipedia to be a very reliable source for musical genre specifics, as it is for all information that is highly important to OCD people.

Good song.

I'm pretty sure a single Madonna concert has at least 10x the budget of any ballet on Earth!

I have an irrational hatred of the color yellow because of that song.

/facepalms

Nevermind. Leila and Cuel/Bacon, RL DNC love! Adios to the rest!

WHEN YOU TRY YOUR BEST BUT YOU DON'T SUCCEED
WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT BUT NOT WHAT YOU NEED
WHEN YOU FEEL SO TIRED BUT YOU CAN'T SLEEP
STUCK IN REVERSE

AND THE TEARS COME STREAMING DOWN YOUR FACE
WHEN YOU LOSE SOMETHING YOU CAN'T REPLACE
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE BUT IT GOES TO WASTE
COULD IT BE WORSE?

LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME
AND IGNITE YOUR BONES
AND I WILL TRY TO FIX YOU

ftfy

I'll take 8

<3 Tikal.

So... think this argument at the very least (if not the thread) is dead.

Night people.

the thread doesn't die until we go through a death penalty discussion... isn't that the fad?

I believe we need to start discussing gear, and then religion. That will have it nuked.
