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.

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.

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?

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:

I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THIS.

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

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. 

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?
