how about dissidence so severe it seems like parody, or you know, trolling?

like it's really funny to me someone strolled in a topic and said "I've never heard 808s used in a rap album. also Chinese Democracy, that album fuckin EVERYONE hates? it ruled". it's so wrong it seems like it's not a real dissenting opinion but more an attempt to goad other people into commenting on it.

for instance: "I really hate Person Pitch. Idk why! it is not an album I enjoy." is not a troll, it is just a dissenting opinion.

"Person Pitch? Wtf's that shit. Fallout Boy had a new album it was the best." is so weird and off that yeah, you can assume the person is goading you to reply.

this is trolling 101 man.

Wait... I wasn't trolling, but I think I'll get flamed if I say otherwise now... 'cause, you know, I liked an album everyone else didn't like. Funny, huh? I must be a troll.

It's cause you liked a bad album, not just one we disagreed with.  Chinese democracy got lackluster reviews across the board. This combined with apparent genuine surprise at an 808 in a rap album and it's not too surprising someone thought it was a troll.

it is still dissidence.
If you honestly strongly dislike Person Pitch, why would I take it as an offense.
I understand people have different perceptions, different tastes. That's pretty much automatic thinking.

Now, you could have an argument if there is provocation. As in, "I am saying this is shit because I specifically want to annoy you". That's not dissidence, that's trolling.

And fatcat's post was completely impersonal.
I personally think you guys should apologize, I'm not saying you guys should do this, I can care less.

Chinese Democracy can be target of parody, I laugh at it myself actually. But there's a limit here. And when you get someone who openly and frankly says he enjoys it, you should respect that, in spite of your absolutely disagreeing taste. Then you may argue why you think his taste is not good.

But saying: "DUDE YOU THINK CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS BEST? DUDE YOU ARE TROLLING"
that's lame

I never thought it was a troll, it's just funny to see yet again shep doesn't understand anything outside of face value. Someone says Chinese democracy is great and 808s are something he's never heard? Ugh how can you think that's a troll? How dare you think someones taste is so bad it seems like parody???

Sorry you got such bad taste we thought it was a fakepost :(

Ps if you are going to reply, stop ignoring the fact he was apparently astonished by a fucking 808, as guess what this is the most impressively wrong part of this post and why I thought it was very funny.

Sigh, yeah, I know it got bad reviews. I have my reasons for liking it. Also, I know the 808 is used a lot. I guess I should've specified that it was the WAY he used it in some songs. It wasn't a big year in music for me. I listen to a lot of music, so don't get the idea that I have extremely bad taste in music just because I liked one low scoring album.

I don't need anyone to apologize to me. I can see where he thought it was a troll now. I don't read music reviews.

I haven't heard a lot from 08. it was my graduating year of high school, and I didn't really have a lot of time for listening to music or finding new music. Any new music I found was released a few years ago. I listened to parts of Kings Of Leon's new album, and didn't really like most of it, but listened to their first album and enjoyed much more. It was also my first quarter of college, so I didn't have much time their either.

I liked chinese democracy from a compositional standpoint. I know I'm going to get bombarded with "all that stuff has been done before" but structurally it was refreshing from what I HAD heard recently, which, like I just mentioned, wasn't a lot this year.

he didn't use the 808 in any unique way, that was kind of the point of it being, you know, 808s and Heartbreak.

also senior year is the easiest year in high school as no college cares about the grades.
