What can I say, I'm a fountain of unrestrained emotions when it comes to Nirvana.

One wrong word about them and I'm scooping out eyes with a melon baller. Some cows must remain sacred. Like my mum.

Also: you have excellent taste.

Nirvana's not bad. I'm cool with their popularity. I love how they fucked with MTV by playing the beginning of 'Rape Me' before transitioning into another song on the awards show.

I'm a big Soundgarden and Alice In Chains fan though. They would be my sacred musical cow I suppose.

George Carlin was a boss.

I miss him so much sometimes. ;_;

 

[Wazzy]

Haha so many people at my work are super choked about the Spain game.

Italy vs England will be such a good match.

So 22 Jump Street. Slow start but it picks up in a major way. Great film.

Also I just spilled my drink. Immediately after cleaning it up my friend did the exact same thing. It was incredible.

OK, what exactly is "emo"?

See I know it's a genre descriptor, but I also saw it as a slightly derogatory term for a band that have heavily emotive themes in their lyrics and stuff. I took it to mean angsty vocals delivered with a fairly pained inflection, "woe is me" kind of thing. But Rob tells me I'm wrong.

See, I'd class Paramore as quite emo, but he takes that as a slight.

Educate me Robert.

Uh...I'm bad at descriptions. A lot of it's kind of softer punk but slightly mathy with arpeggios and shit? Tends to have much more dynamic range than punk too. Some good examples would be Sunny Day Real Estate, You Blew It, Texas Is The Reason, Nai Harvest, Mineral and Into It, Over It.

Emo used to be a very overused word. It seems a little less ridiculous these days.

Overuse for the wrong fucking thing. Goddamnit people. Most of what you were calling emo was either pop rock or post hardcore >:c

It is pretty gay isn't it?

I actually remember hearing about 'emo' before the word became bastardized. Long ago.....

 

[Lucian Cat]

How do you pronounce "German"?

Deutschlander

Spoiler

no idea if this is correct. Buf hasn't taught me much. Aside from greetings and saying where I'm from. Ich komme. Du kommt. Bleh

 

[You Know Nothing]

Ich liebe dich.

Such a hipster thing to say.

Ich liebe dich.

Ich mag dich, bro. Liebe ist ein starkes Wort

Maybe you're wrong eh? Did you even think of that Rob? EH!

Genre arguments are hilarious.

"Nah, it's more glitchcore with elements of acid-jazz, filtered house and bluegrass, but the beat is like two-step with gabba basslines and post-pre-crabcore riffs, layered over synth-pop melodies with math-rock time signatures."

I dunno, I can read it fairly normally, so that has to count for something.

 

[You Know Nothing]

I only listen to post-electro-techno-house with jazz elements.

You've probably never heard of it.

Spoiler

Yes, the more in-depth genre names really grind my gears.

Ja, ich stimme.

Need to go for run soon. But laziness is winning. :negman:

Damn hipsters.

They must all be fuming over how popular the word hipster is now.

Except emo was a thing a good 15 or so years before bands like Fallout Boy existed. It's annoying when I want to say I like emo but then have to explain what I mean by that.

 

[Turin]

I'm fairly sure there's little or no difference between metal, grunge, hard-rock, nu-metal or alternative-rock.

lolwut

Groovy

 

[You Know Nothing]

Groovy

Radical and tubular.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Alt genres are the worst, they're for people who like to pretend they know what they're talking about. They're almost entirely meaningless.

"Well it's kind of like country, but it's not quite so mainstream, so it's like alternative country and stuff."

If you're going to be a pretentious muso then at least commit.

Well nu-metal is fucking dumb, so there's a difference

Tubular was the WORST in SMW.

You're all hipsters... muhahahahahha

 

[You Know Nothing]

My preferred musical genre: Music

If I have to break it down: Pop, rock, jazz, classical

I'm fine with vague all encompassing genre terminology tbh.

"I only listen to alternative pop because it's somehow on a higher plane than standard pleb pop. It's true art."

 

[Windam]

fuck hipsters i just wanna push the fucking freaks in front of buses when i see them

 

[You Know Nothing]

So about that run, laziness won today. :negman:

Ah well, skipping an extra day won't kill me. Besides it's fucking Friday.
