atsonicpark 08.11.2010 11:21 AM

I don't give a shit about your opinion, you're just close minded in general.

Did you ever read your own posts or threads? 90% are all about how much you despise this forum or certain people who post on here. Which leaves the other 10% for how much you hate someone in real life. Who's sad? MIAOW!

The difference is that slow jam R&B is a very limited corpus, as opposed to a blanket prejudice which seemingly includes the majority of non-guitar-based rock music since about 1981. No-one really gets annoyed, you're just missing out on some ROCKING SKRONK.

atsonicpark 08.11.2010 11:50 AM

Rob, how can you not like this song?

don't get me wrong. i love noise music. but dissing a whole genre like this is totally stupid. totally stupid. because it shows your total lack of knowledge of the actual genre (no, not all techno is 4/4 four to the floor beats, sorry - and actually, most of the electronic music discussed here avoids those rhythms 99% of the time), because "bleeps" are only present in a part of electronic music, and especially because it shows you can't understand some people might like this as much as you love skronk - and some people may like both, and more. why the fuck should it be forbidden to talk about techno on a Sonic Youth board? Why the fuck? It's a fucking board? If you don't like a thread about a techno artist, why don't you just ignore it? It's not like if it was a newspaper with limited space and techno music took rock music's space? I fail to see how a few people talking about techno music could put a board to shit.

Sorry Rob, I like you, but that was probably the most ridiculous message I've ever read on any message board (and I've read a whole lot of "electronic music is inferior", "electronic music is cold and inhuman", "hip hop music is shit", etc on french boards), and indeed really, really close minded. And definitely something I didn't think I'd ever read on here, since, actually, I always thought what made this board special is specifically the fact that you can talk about seemingly any style of music.

artsygrrl 08.11.2010 12:17 PM

Threads on here can be boring, dramatic, funny, disgusting, intense, and stoopid. Threads are born and then they die. Just like in real life.

SYRFox 08.11.2010 12:23 PM

Also, Rob, you must have pretty mad background songs if you consider this as background music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwtVJ6OFlR8
Or maybe you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

!@#$%! 08.11.2010 12:28 PM

so this has gone from being porky vs. the board to being robinstigator vs. fans of techno.

 

it's aliiiiiiiiive!

!@#$%! 08.11.2010 12:36 PM

ha ha, anyway...

porky:

imagine this "demotivation" style poster:

yes, things fall apart and will never stop doing that.

funny thing, you've managed to stir some controversy & get more people to post. good strategy! i'd rep you if i could, but it appears i'm out of ammunition.

some of the things you say i think are right, but i don't get your hate for satana-- you may not like how she demands attention (who here doesn't, in one way or another, for their own reasons), but she hasn't done you any harm, has she? i like the brat for her shitkicking attitude, that's why i ask.

and amerikangod, ok, he says the same things over and over, and his humor might not be agreeable to all, but even in his repetitive gimmick he can be funny because of his rhethorical skills. and yes, flotters tends to repeat things that make you impatient-- but if people are not harming you, why not skip ahead and let them live?

then again, people took offense at your thread and that got them posting-- good job! 100+ posts less than 24 hours? that hasn't happened here in ages.

nicfit 08.11.2010 12:42 PM

OSLO!

SYRFox 08.11.2010 12:46 PM

Rob, you're acting just like the "shit-smeared ayatollah of Iran", except that it's in a smaller scale, that you don't rule a country and ain't got any power on here. Wishing to ban a whole culture on the basis that you don't like it.

loubarret 08.11.2010 12:51 PM

I like this forum for all the drama there is on it.

Alright, but that does not mean everyone should enjoy every musical genre, or does it?

Techno, I think it sucks, and it's not music designed to be listened to, but to make people dance, so they can focus on what happens on the dance floor without being distracted by the music. (Autechre doesn't fit in the category imo)

I didn't say everyone should enjoy every musical genre. But to diss up a whole genre (in that case, any music created with electronic instruments!), say your favorite music is superior, and saying a board has gone to shit because some people talk about music you don't like is plain ridiculous and sheer stupidity.

I totally disagree with your point of view on techno music - I can listen to 4 to the floor EQ'd techno without dancing to it -, but at least you admit it's subjective and don't pretend everyone should stop talking about techno because of this.

Yes but, this is a forum about SY, a VERY guitar-oriented band, and still you can find people here who dislike Daydream Nation, or anything else the band did record.
So why wouldn't electronic music be criticized, in that regard?

Sure. I like some electronic music myself.
But maybe you'll admit that there's a lot of dull techno (listen to 'fréquence gay'!)

loubarret 08.11.2010 01:25 PM

Most of rock or even alt-rock(god I hate that name) sucks also.

Rob Instigator 08.11.2010 01:27 PM

so many touchy people.

the whole "too many people talkin bout techno" was a JOKE! I am known for my dislike of the techno, and seeing the title of the thread....

guess people just not feelin the anti-techno humor

OK. I will switch to anti-Justin Bieber. Easy! we all agree on that right? ha ha

Rob Instigator 08.11.2010 01:33 PM

and so what if I hate an entire genre? Big fucking deal.

genre's hated by rob I


champagne music
techno (I know it is not really a genre, so chills)
slow jams (Rhythm & bullshit)
ambient
polka
easy listening
smooth jazz
pop punk, or more specifically punky pop.
light opera
reggaeton

etc etc

if we were all to list the genres we do not enjoy it would lead to a cataclysm seeing as how touchy people are about their personal faves.


I am the hugest sonic youth fanatic, and daydream antion is my masterpiece for living, the only album I would take to a desert island if I had to pick, but I can understand why someone would have a difering opinion./

so many people post on here about how that album is boring to them. doesn't upset me (I don;t agree of course),

I think the whole point of this forum is to bring together disparate minds with dispaarte tastes who just so happen to overlap when it comes to sonic youth.

there are peopel on this board tha really do not like sonic youth's studio albums preferring the severity of their SYR series. There are people here who only like the first 6 LP's. It takes all kinds, yes, even people who HATE techno music.

I don't hate anyone on this or any forum. I make a very good internet impersonation of one who does, though, and mainly to entartain myself when I don't have anything better to do. Messing around with the medium and stuff.

Satan 08.11.2010 01:43 PM

Because Sonic Youth is one band, while electronic music is a whole culture (or rather, actually, many different cultures). You may criticize, I don't know, fidget house, or dubstep, or minimal techno, I don't know, whatever your taste is. But criticizing any music made with electronic instruments? Ridiculous.

In my opinion there is much more dull rock music than dull techno. And dull rock is REALLY, REALLY dull, to the point that it makes you want to puke, while you can often forget the super shit aspects of stupid techno tunes and still have fun - I did not say ALWAYS.

Rob Instigator 08.11.2010 01:59 PM

fuck all techno.


there you have it

get a grip on it

so fucking WHAT?

a person who is a righteous follower of electronic music and hates all forms of blues-based rock is entitled to say he thinks "ROCK SUCKS"

I am entitled to think TECHNO SUCKS.

I bolded and enlarged the exact part of yr statement that you should take into consideration when deciding to berate someone for thinking the exact same thing but about your chosen genre.
