how come people liking music you don't makes you angry?

you tell me.

i am not sure entirely but the ways in which music can affect us can be very personal so when we see people liking music we dont it hits on the same level which causes offence.

i'm asking him, the poster infinitemusic, who gets hot under the collar when people mention say, beyonce. he seems to be quite intolerant of the tastes of others, and for someone who presumeably grew up listening to music most people don't like i find it curious that he has no appreciation of tolerance towards the likes and dislikes of others having (i imagine) been subjected to most people's intolerance of things like sonic youth.

i see. thought it was a general question.

What else is the purpose of discussing the quality of music other than to produce the most persuasive ad hoc argumentation in order to establish truth by consensus? I think that particular kind of music discussion requires some amount of intolerance in order to be at all meaningful. Tolerance would seem unnecessary to someone who thought that discussing the quality of music could produce any reasonable answers.

maybe he is 12.

I used to hate everyone who didn't like what I did when I was 12.

Maybe his/her parents just divorced, and the one who has him/her in custody is forcing loads of pop music down his/her throat.

he's jay z

well it's different than that, he's been wishing death on people for mentioning music he finds disagreeable.

I don't want to suppose too much into why infinitemusic believes what he does. I don't think unreasonability is at all typical of his character and we are all capable of getting lost in our passion when it comes to those things we care most about.

However, I tend to notice that those who are the most obsessive in their taste in music are so in a reaction to what I mentioned in my last post. They abhor the very idea that value cannot be derived from matters of fact. Commonly, this reaction originates in what they think of ethics and infinitemusic has struck me in the past to have that kind of assurance of ethics that can be conducive to that kind of thinking.

But I'm obviously reading too much into this like usual and doing more harm than good. Psychoanalyzing someone I only know through a message board is a pretty dick move. I need to sleep.

..all this over Beyonce?

Interesting!

her ass gravitates this kind of discussion

i promise, that chicken bone he spat in your direction won't kill you-- not on your birthday it won't


i thought that's what the internet was all about :(


oh, i like the change of subject!

i'm just surprised how someone can get so riled up by people saying they like such and such a performer.

You remember the person we don't name now Herr & Bowels, don't you? Is it really that much of a surprise that the internet hosts fuckwits?

I've totally missed infinitemusic's death threats.

I have, however, found that he likes getting himself in the middle of arguements.
