Musicbanter Taught Me Something

Actually, no, Janszoon, I don't really have a feel for your tastes, like a lot of us admitted in that one thread. Are you pretty much referring to grunge?
 
What has rabroad taught me?
I came here 5 years or so ago believing I had a narrow and elitist attitude towarRAB music which took me all of 4 years to confirm.
It taught me to despise elitist pricks that pretend to like certain types of music so as to appear superior. Giving true elitists the unfair misconception of appearing arrogant.
They give elitism a bad name for those who really do have a superior taste in music, like me. :D
 
I think it depenRAB. I really don't like the concept of "superior" music tastes, and a lot of people here seem to believe that they have them. That's a little pretentious to me.

Many of the people on here that could be considered "pretentious" are absolutely fantastic at thoughtfully articulating why they don't like a band or an album WITHOUT coming off as an enormous asshole. That's fine.

However, there's always a few douchebags out there that seem to crawl out of the woodwork to pick fights any time someone expresses an opinion they disagree with.

(Oh, and to clear things up, I was kind of, you know, joking in my previous post. :/)
 
rabroad has taught me the following:

* I like some Dubstep songs. A lot!
* What Dubstep is.
* I don't like a lot of music but just a few songs here and there.

* I really do like the whole process of making music more than listening to it.
* I love discussing songs and lyrics with the people who made them.
* Most musicians seem much more interested in their own musical process than in other people's (meaning mine). ;)

* I am much more social than I thought I was.
* Some strangers are pretty darn nice and I like them more than I thought I would.
* I am easily amused by people and feel inspired by them. Many people are really very funny, and I love joking around with them.

* Some people like to argue even more than I do. !!
* I like trading insults more than I thought I would. Sometimes I kind of like to fight and goad people a bit.
* People who disagree greatly on some topic can actually learn to like each other or at least have some respectful interactions.

* British people aren't any more polite than other groups of people. They sound so genteel on TV! :(
* The world is smaller than I thought it was, and people are more similar than I realized before.
* Being vegan doesn't mean *always* being a social outcast. ;)
 
I don't know why Nirvana get this much hate.

Especially as Pearl Jam are from the very same era and about 100 times worse than Nirvana ever were.
 
I hate Pearl Jam more than Nirvana, they even manage to make Neil Young sound ****. But I don't think they're popular these days so i mentioned Nirvana as everyone I know seems to like them now.
