"Hi. We're Blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.
Summer 2009.
Thanks and get ready..."
Don't know about you metalheads, but I'm pretty stoked, even though their latest effort was so-so.
-
they're terrible.
didn't their drummer get set on fire, though?
-
there are still metalheads on gw??
and fuck em (and dx while we're at it LOL)
-
Is blink metal? Isn't eer punk/ anti mainstream/ anti contemporary music?
What is going on here.
-
Huh... I guess it's not cool to like blink 182 anymore
-
wait what
i thought i graduated middle school over 5 years ago
-
lolol ur so cool
-
oh thank god for this news. now i can finally carry on with my life again.
-
in the car i just can't wait
-
lolol ur so cool
lol at least i'm not 13
seriously how can you legitimately like blink 182 when you're 20 and not be completely embarrassed by yourself
-
I don't think GW has many people that only listen to metal to be honest.
I am happy they are reuniting because at least this means the end of Angels and Airwaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
lol at least i'm not 13
seriously how can you legitimately like blink 182 when you're 20 and not be completely embarrassed by yourself
Because people should not be embarrassed for enjoying something they like, specifically something as harmless as music?
-
"so-so" huh.
alrighty then eer!!!
-
lol at least i'm not 13

how can you dress like hipster trash and not be embarrassed by yourself? i am! do you see how this works flowerpower. blink 182 is bad but you listen to gay shit too and dress kind of like a douche tbh so maybe you shouldn't be telling someone they should be embarrassed by liking x band or having x taste.
-

lol what, please explain how i dress
-
just suggestin you should ditch the collection of sweaters and stop masturbating over subpar indie music before advising someone on how embarrassing their tastes are
-
also i just listened to adam's song and realized they were like 25 when they wrote this probably. whaaaat the fuck
-
yeah thanks for that post.
because you sure have seen my great 'collection of sweaters' (i don't even know where the hell you're pulling this shit from seeing how hmm, i've only posted myself here ever in 1 sweater, maybe 2 but you can't even see it) that are apparently 'hipster trash' (hint: maybe you should get a clue about what you're even talking about), and yes i do indeed 'masturbate over subpar indie music' (again, i don't know what you're talking about exactly but i'll accept this because gw is so ANTI-INDIE so w/e) however it's nowhere nearly as bad as blink 182.
edit: it's nice knowing someone hates everything about you :)
-
yeah it kind of is. eer is expressing interest in music that does not even exist yet; this is not nearly as bad as listening to music that does exist and is not good and saying it is. i was going to make fun of him but telling him HEH.....FEEL EMBARRASSED is lame as fuck because i have seen the shit you listen to, and you should be embarrassed too. you pulled a list of favorites directly from fucking pitchfork, and you're talking shit in here. are you kidding me? most of us should be embarrassed if you just isolate ONE GAY THING we like. don't be such a dick over some guy liking some random band when you apparently sit around listening to crystal castles.
-
It's not even like blink-182 is my favorite band. Not even CLOSE.
-
also i don't hate everything about you. i don't even know you! i hate the parts of you you present to gw as much as i can hate anything VIA INTERNET, though, which is not very much.
-
I am happy they are reuniting because at least this means the end of Angels and Airwaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AGREE.
THIS IS WHY I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.
+44 and AVA GONE. YES.
As for Blink themselves, they're not bad... but not exactly musical geniuses or too interesting. I guess they're a solid band. They do what they're meant to do.
-
also i don't hate everything about you. i don't even know you! i hate the parts of you you present to gw as much as i can hate anything VIA INTERNET, though, which is not very much.
i dunno, that's the impression i get becuase you pretty much attack me constantly.
eer is expressing interest in music that does not even exist yet
Do you really believe blink 182 is going to progress their sound so dramatically it'd be good? Come on man, we laughed the exact same way when nickelback said they were going to make a new album and said they had to topple whatever mountain they had already built with their awesome music. motley crue and kiss think they are the best band in the whole world, but if they made an album now i would already know it'd be shit, and you would assume the same.
don't be such a dick over some guy liking some random band when you apparently sit around listening to crystal castles
i don't listen to them very often, maybe once every couple of months. but at least i know they are shit/are a guilty pleasure pretty much.
-
I don't like blink 182.
-
i don't listen to them very often, maybe once every couple of months. but at least i know they are shit/are a guilty pleasure pretty much.
What makes you think that blink182 isn't (one of) my guilty pleasure(s)?
-
blink 182 is dumb adolescent trash that's marketed towards middle schoolers so if you listen to it and you're in your 20s then you should feel a little bad about yourself. it's kinda like adults who still give a shit about stupid children's anime cartoons or action figures or video games. it's hardly comparable to hipster indie music because at worst a lot of indie music is just kinda bad but at least the songs are not primarily written to appeal to 13 year olds.
it is more like marketed towards high schoolers, and the last time they released an album he was probably in high school. is it really surprising that he has some level of interest? i think this is more like adults who have an interest in shit they watched as kids. if someone said JAYCE AND THE WHEELED WARRIORS IS COMING BACK i would have some level of interest in this despite the old show being pretty dumb. should i be embarrassed about this? pink made a relatively good point which is, aside from the fact that it's kind of embarrassing for the and themselves considering they're in their 30s, to be making this kind of music, they are not very AMBITIOUS. they serve a purpose and they never try to make themselves out to be more than this. at worst, indie hipster music is just as musically uninteresting as blink 182 while being 10x more pretentious. i think the latter is more irritating.
also i don't think they're going to be good. they might be a lil above high school and into YOUNG COLLEGE POP PUNK. if you assume their audience is generally around a decade younger than them, it makes sense. or maybe it'll be more adolescent trash, as konix called it. who knows but like i said, everyone listens to at least ONE GAY THING. i don't care how often you listen to crystal castles or how dumb you KNOW they are, you don't really have any room to be calling his tastes embarrassing!
-
What makes you think that blink182 isn't (one of) my guilty pleasure(s)?
i don't, but
a) you made a thread about it.
b) Don't know about you metalheads, but I'm pretty stoked
also, i'm pretty sure their intended audience is middle schoolers or maybe even highschoolers but not college students. i don't think i've ever seen a college kid listen to blink 182, but they're all the rage in 8th grade
-
I figured most people here still listened to metal, like they did a few years back, so yeah.
-
As for Blink themselves, they're not bad... but not exactly musical geniuses or too interesting. I guess they're a solid band. They do what they're meant to do.
i also hate this shit. if the band is horribly mediocre and not doing anything new with themselves (although this is a huge assumption right now since blink 182 didn't even release their record, but i guess i'm talking more generally) they are basically only making music to make money.
-
nah no one really listens to metal anymore. idk what we listen to tbh
also idk maybe we're in different places? no one even KNEW about blink when i was in middle school, but the blew up when i was in high school and all four years i was there they were BAND IT WAS ASSUMED ALL WHITE KIDS LIKED. it's high school music! most of it is about dumb high school shit. but i am saying, they are all like 33 years old. if you told me they did not want to make dumb high school music anymore, i would not be too surprised.
if the band is horribly mediocre and not doing anything new with themselves (although this is a huge assumption right now since blink 182 didn't even release their record, but i guess i'm talking more generally) they are basically only making music to make money.
lollin at this statement

sunds like a good description of indie there actually.
-
lol because indie is rolling in cash
-
so i guess horribly mediocre bands that contribute nothing new are only bad if they're "mainstream" while being "indie" actually makes them some of flowerpower's favs
-
haha, my "favs" ok.
you know what, i'm genuinly curious as to what you guys think, please list out all the "horribly mediocre indie bands" i listen to in my top 20 since i listen to those most/they are my FAVS (other than does it offend you yeah),
here is my last.fm:
http://www.last.fm/user/PandaWine
I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THIS.
-
nick cave??? you should be embarrassed. why does it have to be the top 20 tho?
also i will maybe do this later tonight. truthfully i shouldve been studying instead of making fun of you since i have a test or two in four hours.
-
but just on cursory glance, bright eyes #24, weakerthans #27. you are not without sin, my son
-
whoa wait whys panda defending blink 182
the fuck is going on.
TRAVIS BARKER GOT BURNT UP IN AN AIRPLANE W00T
-
asobi seksu is one of themost harmless bands ever if you threw them at a dude the dude would be like whoa i feel like i passed through a ghost vagina.
-
why are you guys making fun of flowerpower so much anyway? looking at his charts he has a lot of really good bands there and i like almost all of his top 20. sure his charts are mostly indie but who gives a fuck. and it would be ridiculous to assume anyone would like everything he does.
i think your taste is good flowerpower dont listen to others they are wrong
new asobi seksu kinda blows btw, it's so... so bland. the more i listen to it, the less i like it. so i gave up on trying to get into it.
-
don't listen to ds, he's wrong. weakerthans top 50, ya got problems
garage sale saturday i need to pay//my heart's outstanding bills
-
im never wrong......
-
his point is basically giving someone shit for blink 182 while furiously listening to NOW THATS WHAT I CALL INDIE VOL: IRRELEVANT is kind of annoying.
also blink 182 eats a bit more shit than they should. I mean I lolled at the thread because I don't buy this CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA thing panda does and really who hears BLINK 182 FUCK YEA but they weren't some awful horrible band be embarassed you ever liked them...
-
it isn't people, it's just one person. while fp's first post was kinda bad, people here do this sort of thing a lot tho so you can see where he'd think it's OK. but blink blows and it's funny how eer made the thread here about this reunion he's really excited about while taking a stab at all us GW metalheads. it's a good joke.
-

I really hope this is not serious. Somebody should feel bad about themselves for liking a band? I don't understand what's peoples problem with letting people like what they want. Seriously dude there is no reason to be so harsh. People are allowed to like stupid children's anime, action figures, or video games, and hey, even shitty music, and they should not have to feel bad about it!
-
standards basically. 'hey i am perfectly entitled to my tastes however dreadful and you're not allowed to say anything negative about it' does this not sound completely ridiculous to you?

Your favs are a pretty predictable assortment of complete shit with a few flakes of gold in it.
Apparently you listen to xiu xiu more than gang of four and there's really no excuse for that because xiuxiu is completely fuckin gay.
-

That is ridiculous. But that is not what I'm saying.
Let me put it this way. I like listening to Blink 182. I know it is awful music. I really do. But I enjoy listening to it. Nowhere close to any of my favorite music, but if I get enjoyment out of it, why should I stop? Feel free to make fun of Blink 182, or any other shitty music. But telling someone to feel shitty about themselves because of their taste? Fuck off.
-
Anyone who jams out to xiuxiu is in no position to hate on someone for liking blink182

But telling someone to feel shitty about themselves because of their taste? Fuck off.
not literally you baka! here if it makes you feel better i'll reshape that: Why do you like it? i'm sure you have some reason why you like the song, maybe it's the energy or groove or lyrics or whatever that entertains you?
i like shitty songs like Carouselambra from Led Zeppelin (it's from their last album (propably second-worst album, here's a hint: don't. read. the. lyrics!!)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa2hRPYXyvc&feature=related but for the reasons unrelated to the overal quality of song.
here's the thing: i am aware of how shitty this song is overally and i do tell it to people before i start talking about it. i don't give excuses to shitty songs! but there's a whole lot of people who don't really think what they listen or what makes the song or band worthwhile so they end up thinking dragonforce or idk trivium is actually a good band! or say "welp guilty pleasure" or "idk, it's nostalgic... my childhood music...", that's lame!
basically answer: SLIPPERY SLOPE. don't go on thinking that your music taste can't be critisized, shitty music is not excusable!
goddamn this is so hard to explain i can see why you guys don't usually even try to most of the time. i still don't think i managed to completely explain it/sum my thoughts!
-

I saw Xiu Xiu live because Shearwater was opening for them and it was so fucking boring and I made up some excuse so we could leave. the dude was just so loud and there was not a person in the audience I didn't want to hit.
Somebody should feel bad about themselves for liking a band?
you should feel bad for not having your tastes evolve since highschool.
-
Yngwie.
-
yeah ok. i do see now why you don't bother, that kind of sums things much better than i ever did. :welp:
-
looks like ya takin a lil TOO much influence from my postin LoL *says in 1000 words what anyone sensible would say in 8*
-
^^^^basically why i lurk more than anything now.
For a while i never really listened to Blink 182 outside of (I guess) their singles. This was back when I was a total snob and thought that pop music in any form was terrible and that in order to be good music must have depth and meaning and metaphors and lots of bull artsy shit in it. I got of my high horse and gave some of their albums a listen and found that it's just really good, catchy, pop punk music.
They got progressively better as they released albums, so I'm pretty excited about the reunion and maybe a new album. I'm for sure going to see them live when they tour, their shows always looked like fun.
-
yeah you know us, we hate pop music. Underground Or Death
-
i was kinda gay for xiu xiu like 4-5 months ago so i listened excessively and now they're pretty high up my charts, oh wells.
also weakerthans' singer is p. annoying but at least they have pretty good lyrics :welp:
bright eyes because my girlfriend has a (dying) obsession for oberst so she plays that shit whenever she's here.
i don't really feel like i should JUSTIFY what i listen to but yeah those are the reasons for those particular bands.
also asobi seksu's new album does suck really hard. i listened to it twice in hopes of it growing on me but no, it's just shit.
-
whats up with people thinking there's even a topic concensus. HEH THIS IS WHY ID ONT POST ON GW what? because people have varied opinions?
-

you don't have to justify anything to us. you should be able to justify it to yourself but you're the one who said FIND SHIT and hey, i found some shit. i never said DAMNIT FLOWERPOWER.....EXPLAIN YOURSELF. also i think the weakerthans' lyrics are generally pretty dickless and embarrassing to listen to (did you see the snippet i posted) and at best, maybe a step above deathcab. i listened to them when i was 17 and i am embarrassed by this fact now, so again this is another case of my not thinking you have much room to talk since imo no one should listen to shit like that past HIGH SCHOOL either and you apparently do.

I still don't get why you chose to do this with blink 182 though.
you really think this is a case of nostalgia and not YESSSSS ONE OF MY FAV BANDS?
-
i lurk because a lot of the arguments here at gw are basically retarded.
or idk maybe you guys are joking or something and the whole first page of nonsense about sweaters and posting last fms to judge musical tastes is supposed to be funny.

konix is quite right here.
i do love me a good sweater.

I don't have any sweaters. This post is a sweater free zone.

whoa hey I was looking for flowerpower's sweater post and i found him quoting hundley and calling him a terrible writer, switching camps to "death to flowerpower".

hey, where'd that happen? remember sarhan? i think he did that too

The music forum is such a load of bullshit dudes, I think you're all gay for the bands you like owned

Ditch that sweater collection c'mon

lmfao, jesus did i really do that. man i don't even want to look back at posts because i used to post (and still do loll) a lot of shit. unless he was r_vj or whatever in which case i didn't even know who it was and took the post at face value: "only dead people write good", sorry didn't do my research
you were probably looking for the mandolin post, ya that's 1 sweater w00t. (lollin at the 'sweater critisism' btw)

ban Mark ban indie. what are ypou talking about, i think we established that metal rules. gotta make those on-liners.

wearing a sweater while holding a mandolin is like wearing a dragon shirt and holding a flying v, it counts as approx. five times the sweater/shirt.
-
also you posted a picture of yourself in a turtleneck
-
yah which is why i said 1 sweater + one where you can't really even see it (the turtleneck which really isn't even a turtleneck).
OH NO NOT ANOTHER FASHION THREAD
also i don't see why HOLY FUCK HE'S WEARING A CARDIGAN / A SWEATER THAT SOMEWHAT RESEMBLES A TURTLENECK constitutes BURN HIM AT THE STAKE. jesus christ, I'm pretty sure most of you dress pretty shit/don't even care about looks at all, you don't see me being a huge dick about it, not to mention what i posted in ... 2 pictures? doesn't even represent how i dress at all just as what i post about music in a few threads doesn't represent what i listen to in general.
-
owell
-
i'm just trying to say that it was really stupid.
idk, maybe it was somewhat. i don't think you really know what's the story behind the heated posts directed to flowerpower, not to mention that this topic was kind of doomed from the beggining with! you were bound to get either trolling or condescending posts (premise: blink182, new album, CAN'T WAIT)! i haven't listened to blink182 (never claimed i did fyi, i only know them from commerials and short sequences heard here and there which are pretty meh) - knowing headphonics or magical negro they propably had a good reason to insult the band.
sorry eer but you knew this would happen! admit it!!
-
this thread is a lot more entertaining than a circlejerk about blink 182 anyway
-
i think i'd rather listen to pod- youth of the nation than sonic youth- daydream nation
nah i just wanted to make that joke.

I can't post in the music forum. If we get 3 pages of bickering about sweaters for blink 182 imagine if I post about hannah montana :-/

Yeah, of course I knew that. But still. I thought maybe some other folks here would share the nostalgic feeling I have, but apparently not lolz.
Also, Hot Water Music, Face to Face or Avail over blink-182 any day.

i have never heard hannah montana. i tried to find the show on youtube but couldn't. gimme a youtube mark.

so are they all live or is there like an ALBUM TRACK that doesn't sound like it was recorded in a cave.

flowerpower you should just listen to the PM's (promiment members) at GW and you will become 143% better person. A few years ago I was really ugly and disgusting and my fav band was Taking Back Sunday but people like panda and idiotkid showed me the light and now i am a little less ugly and listen to slightly better music

well not the music part but the looks part. im pretty sure you've told me GET A HAIRCUT on more than one occassion. also maybe it was steel too idk this was like 2003-4
before you say it: yeah you've told me "get a haircut" a lot more recently than that. i meant the music stuff

he already said elsewhere that indie music gets him laid with slutty hipster college girls so I dont see the point. you can't exactly impress da ladies with ghostface killah or whatever music the mainstream gw coolguy hivemind agrees is good.
honestly though what is this. most of us don't even agree on music! i mean there are GIVENS but aside from that i cannot think of many people who have VERY SIMILAR tastes. also there's the part where listening to music just to get laid makes him kind of an asshole
-
lol I said that as a joke, but then added "half-kidding" because my girlfriend likes indie a lot (and what i would call a lot more 'generic indie' bands) and i wouldn't even want to link her last.fm here because that'll make you guys explode out of INDIE-RAGE
damn, i would wholeheartedly agree with you guys if you used TOKYO POLICE CLUB as a default example for GENERIC SHITTY INDIE BAND
-
i wouldn't criticize your girlfriend man. why would any of us care about that
-
oh you mean shit like smith and sonic youth. that's true but i think it's true of any community that has somewhat DEVELOPED TASTE. anyone who knows music pretty much always likes certain acts, i think. how often do you hear TOM WAITS....GARBAGE
-
I am personally invested in the rockandroll bands I listen to and I judge the character of people based on the rockandroll bands they listen to.
Watch out... I'll flame ya!

I don't think a lastfm site could accurately represent the depth of my taste in music. Heh, I do most of my listening on vinyl anyway...
Just an FYI so you guys know how a bigdogg does things

i've met plenty of people who know about elliott smith (well, like 5) but no one has heard of amon tobin. also i once saw someone wearing a porcupine tree shirt on a train

I hope they make something completly different just to alienate all of their fans. It doesn't even have to be a good change, I just think it would be really funny if they decided to use the voice modulator thing kanye has been using or something.
Also, I really haven't liked blink since I was like... 10, and I do think it's sad if you are like 20 and still consider it good music, but whatever. You do what you want eer.

here's one for you, I was playing elton john and my neighbor yelled FAGGOT
I know it was my neighbor because I heard him slam the door. we don't know each other and I've only ever seen him through the peephole
-
this just happened btw like a minute ago
-
this just happened btw like a minute ago
Oh man that's really funny.
Was it an angry "faggot" or a taunting "faggot"?
-
I think an angry, hateful "faggot" would be funnier because that would mean there is someone out there who hears some elton john and gets so dusgusted at the fact that he's gay that they have to yell FAGGOT! And start slamming doors
-
angry I guess. the guy yells a lot at his friends or sports shows and it sounded about the same.

you should feel bad for not having your tastes evolve since highschool.
Who's taste DOESN'T evolve? Fuck just because somebody likes Blink 182 when they were younger doesn't mean they can't like it when they are older. As long as they just don't try to pass it off as being good music. Chances are their taste has evolved and they have since found other music that is probably more respectable.
And to konix, I find it pretty funny that you're judging people about anime and toys when you are posting on a game making forum. You're excuse to not continue with an argument is a cop out. Please tell me why a person should feel bad about themselves for liking A FUCKING BAND. I'd like to hear.
Bonzi Buddy. That is exactly saying. I don't put that much thought into most of my music to be honest, I find what I enjoy and listen to it. Blink 182? I dunno, I just don't take too seriously and like the way it sounds. I know it's shitty music made by 30 year olds appealing to a teenage crowd, but I don't care enough really. I think for the most part people agree here. I don't care about music criticism or discussion. Just don't be a faggot and attack others because they like Blink 182.
-

these aren't comparable at all.
Please tell me why a person should feel bad about themselves for liking A FUCKING BAND.
there's lots of reasons to feel this way. ever hear of Prussian Blue?
also if this was NICKELBACK we would not be discussing this.
-

I'd continue the argument but apparently you also see nothing wrong with grown men who post on video game forums so fuck this.
Trust me, it is comparable, depending on who you're talking to. Some people think toys are gay. Some people think GAME MAKING FORUMS are gay. Everyone is different. :)
And there is a difference between Prussian Blue and Blink 182, but yeah I guess I could have been a little more specific.
And I don't understand why we wouldn't be discussing this? Let people enjoy their music.
-
hahaha so wait you really see no difference between KONIX ON GW and playing with transformers.
damn nigga your equivalencies must be insane.
"heh a steak, no thanks" *eats plate of dogshit*
-

Maybe not to that extreme, but yeah, they are both pretty much wastes of time. If somebody enjoys playing with transformers why should they stop? Please no answers like "because its kiddy/gay/lame/immature" because I could come up with some pretty equally shitty excuses about forums.
And really, comparing Blink 182 to toys is a poor comparison. The anime comparison was better. And I could easily argue in favour of anime over transformers as I can relate to it.
-
no you can't. what. saying it is immature does apply and while you can say some people here are also immature for the most part...no?
sorry man but writing down ideas and sharing them, no matter how puerile, is always going to be above playing with a truck that turns into a robot.
he's saying blink is like anime and toys in that they are designed for an age group that we are almost all above.
come on you have to have some sense of scale here unless you're spending all your time working for charitable organizations some wastes of time are better than others.
-
so i read the first page
(mostly post #2(the one by ds))
and fuck you ds
-
oh on topic::
i think their new album will be shit
their old music was shit(although nostalgic now...i'd still listen 2 old blink)
but mostly their new album will be shit because their last album was shit and now they had time to"mature" into more shit in their own bands
but in all honesty: ill listen to it....
-

All I'm saying is that some people enjoy certain things. If it does not harm anybody, why not let them enjoy it? Why should they have to feel bad themselves for something they enjoy? I don't know how this is is not clear.
I'm not an idiot here, I understand scale. If I heard of somebody I knew playing Transformers, yes I would laugh and probably makes jokes. But I would not wish the person to feel bad about themselves. If they are enjoying themselves and are happy, good for them, they're doing better than most others in this world.
-
you wouldn't want them to GET BETTER TASTE?
I know that sounds really mean but when I hear people listening to like YELLOWCARD I usually laugh and then say "nah, really? this is what you listen to? damn your taste is like the hindenburg of mine" and this is the same thing as saying YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD. I'm not sure why you're drawing the line of making jokes vs just outright saying "haha, gross".

Nothing against saying gross. And saying "really?" isn't the same as wishing the person to FEEL BAD. My point is, YES, I WOULD want them to get better taste. But telling them to feel bad isn't going to help. Give them alternative suggestions instead of just LOL BLINK 182. Feel free to judge somebody if you want. I am completely comfortable with the music I listen to. I know some of it is good, I know some of it is bad, but I'm always trying to find more. Just because I find a band that is actually good, does not mean I'm going to stop listening Blink 182 if I still enjoy them.
theres absolutely no difference between making fun of/laughing at someone's tastes and just outright telling them their tastes are bad and they're stupid for liking shitty things. basically you're a flippin moran and you're arguing for no apparent reason.
;)
-
this topic suddenly turned boring :(
-
yeah you're arguing semantics here, we're online, no one would actually say YOU SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED irl unless it was just really flagrant shit, but online it's fine and it's still the same core sentiment I think.
-

With that said, I'll agree that we're both arguing semantics. Just as long as we are both on the same page, which it seems we are.
Wow. I get a warning for that. Typical GW. :D
-
did you even read the warn?
typical annoying moron :D
-
*reports three posts in the same topic, none of which are deserving of anything*
-
hmm lets see so far
I said: if you have shitty tastes you should probably feel a little bad
whereas you said: if you have shitty tastes I will probably laugh at you/make fun of you and actually make you feel bad
how is what I said worse enough for you to sperg out about?
You and I are different, you seem to be fairly pessimistic. The thing is, I don't laugh at people with shitty tastes. Yeah if somebody plays with Transformers, I'll joke about it. If my jokes actually upset the person then I own up to my mistakes and make sure they know I meant no harm. I'm talking about stuff with my friends though mostly. Ugh you won't get it. I think I may as well just drop this, as I haven't really given a shit about what you've been saying konix, I was pretty much just directed at steel.
-
war.

war never changes.

*reports three posts in the same topic, none of which are deserving of anything*
hahaha really.
can't win an argument...gotta warn em out.
-
B-But Snake!
-
i tempbanned him for a day. here's hoping he ban evades!
-
so uh
what did you ban him for?
-
he kept reporting shit
-
that fagot
also he really is dumb though. you're all dumb for even arguing with him. i've never seen him argue anything but a really, really dumb perspective.
-
He Really Grinds My Gears.
-
gw bans the dissenting voice yet again
dom, achiro, mog, and now Grogrog... your efforts will not be forgotten
-
i ignored the reports because arguing isnt a warnable offense grogrog, maybe its time to move to greener pastures............ RMN
Also anybody who tries to claim that GWS COOL GROUP ONLY ALLOWS ONE TYPE OF MUSIC is a bit retarded, a)there is no cool team, b)everyone has pretty varied tastes. For instance Ryan has a Doors avatar and I couldn't think of anything more overplayed or boring and he probably thinks the same about the stuff I like.
-
Seriously someone needs to make a topic about arguing because I see so many people who get their panties in a knot and their feelings hurt when someone insults them online. This isn't real life folks get some thick skin k k
-
Uh didnt steel try this or someone(sorry i just assume steel) with a political forum?
how did that go?
-
I'll give new blink a try, I love a lot of old blink stuff.
And STFU PukeX
-
so i didnt want to read this whole thread, but are we arguing the validity of blink as like art musique or something? if not i dont really see what the conflict could possibly be. They aren't a FILM, they are a MOVIE-- for the most part they are an american pie movie or maybe a kinda stupid chick flick that incorporates crude 12 year old humor to appeal to the adolescent girl watching's boyfriend.
anyway the point is that there is nothing wrong with enjoying them on a superficial level.
-
*says nothing significant*
-
*hivemind*
-
so WHAT if i like transformers? i. like. explosions. sue me!!
-
Uh didnt steel try this or someone(sorry i just assume steel) with a political forum?

i'm not reading through 5 pages of blink182 arguments, but if someone hasn't said already, I think this might mean The Offspring will get their drummer back?
-
who cares?
-
whats up with people thinking there's even a topic concensus. HEH THIS IS WHY ID ONT POST ON GW what? because people have varied opinions?
yeah from some of the moderation policies at a couple other places I've been I guess people can't handle this!
-
Well I have Enema of the State and the newest one, and I didn't like the latter, so I'm hoping their newer stuff is a little more like what they had before things went downhill.
-
For everyone who is "sorry" for me still liking blink182 to a certain degree or thinks that it's SAD, read my previous posts in this thread kthx
-
I just read through this whole topic and all I got to say is fuck yall
f u c k y a l l
-
five pages of dumb dumb bullshit and my stupid ass kept hoping that I would get to the top of the hill but I was in the goddamn Sahara
fuck blink 182 too
-
One thing I've noticed about the music forum is that most of the discussion is about music I really don't like, but I think this forum most of all does not (should not) cater to any one person or group of people.
-
too long didn't read
Am I the only one that loves Blink-182 (this is a surprise to no one)?
also, just want to say that listen to blink-182's FIRST couple albums. it is impossible to say that they were not a punk band at that time. go
-
please tell me more about your animes
funniest post i have read in a long time

yeah, the first albums are kinda fun to listen to, definitely juvenile though. It just sucked when they started to slow down and get all emo and crap. Hard to imagine what the hell they plan on playing now.

sounds like generic pop punk, sorry.
-
I''ve always liked thier serious/emo stuff more than their older albums. they started, imo, getting less conventional and more original and interesting. Like I think hearing Robert Smith on a Blink 182 album for the first time was a pretty cool experience for me. and, idk, having an electronic back beat for the verses on Violence then breaking into punky chorus was cool, too. There's actually a lot of cool electronic stuff going on the whole album.
-
still no guitar solos

limp bizkit has also announced their reunion:
"We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other. Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back."
-
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Oh fuckkzor.
Damn friggin Limp Friggin Bizzzzzk11T.
I AM MORE DISGUSTED WITH LIMP BIZKIT'S EXISTENCE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. ANYTHING.

haven't they already done like 3 reunions that have all failed so far?

funny thing is like a few months ago when wes borland joined marilyn mansons band manson said that wes used to be in a horrible band making horrible music but has decided to put it behind him and become a real musician. looks like manson made that up hmm
-
Marilyn Manson can't really say much to be honest

5 pages for blink 182??? but then again I havent read 4 out of 5 so its probably bs like the 1st page with flower power and headphonics going at it.
I listen to a lot of random shit even some things people would be embarassed to listen to. but honestly music is music. I have all blinks old albums (i think im missing one) but ive enjoyed them enough Iguess. cant really say im waiting for the new album but when it does come out i will get it. Just like offsprings new album. or linkin parks or our lady peace or sum41. which all sucked balls but I still liked some songs off of them.
YEAH BLINK! stay together for the kids!

I am a massive fan of Black Light Burns. The last 2 tracks on Cruel Melody are great to go to sleep to. He better not be wasting any time on the bimp lizkit shit

music is music.
it's just entertainment.
Fela Kuti can suck my dick, I want songs about girls meeting guys at a rock show!

you dont want fela kuti sucking your dick, he had aids.
or
did he???

i won my high-school talent show four years ago playing "damnit" by blink. hells yea.
-
must not have been a whole lotta talent where u came from!
-
blink 182 was one of the doors for emo into the mainstream. while the band itself wasn't exactly emo (but their last album was headed in that direction), they helped make it cool for nasal-toned pre-pubescent overly-dramatic suburban kids to get out there and slit their wrists in style (even though 182 liked to sing mostly about fucking your mom).
-
Wow, you have no idea what emo music is.
-
Wow, you have no idea what emo music is.
i never said blink was emo. i said they opened the doors for the radio-friendly punk styles of modern "emo" bands.
and yes, i know about emo's early days with bands like minor threat and rites of spring and how they sounded nothing like these poppy modern incarnations do like jimmy eat world or fall out boy. i know that they're hardly like what emo was.
-
I AGREE.
THIS IS WHY I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.
+44 and AVA GONE. YES.
As for Blink themselves, they're not bad... but not exactly musical geniuses or too interesting. I guess they're a solid band. They do what they're meant to do.
I concur.
Blink is anything special. but how many bands last as long as them. They write songs that make you feel good. They're funny. It's upbeat and fast. It's solid pop-punk. Like the queers evolved into something not better or worse.
-
i've enjoyed some blink 182. i remember before i had heard any of the "commercial punk" bands when i was younger and figured they had the same sound as sum 41. probably because my juvenile head saw that they both had numbers in their names.
anywho, i got a kick out of a few songs and still do. dude ranch, buddha, cheshire cat, and that old side project they had are still a mystery to me. i liked enema, pants/jacket album blew mostly, and the last one was surprisingly pretty decent. i always liked how "i miss you" was built around one guitar riff and still came out great.
