What type of music fan is the worst?

I hate the people that basically only listen to banRAB that no one has ever heard of and that dislike any band just because they are semi mainstream. Its like if you arent listening to the most obscure band out there then you arent listening to anything worth listening to. And people who bash music simply because it may have a pop sound or is in a certain genre that they may not like.

You have to take music for what it is. To the guy who made a comment about his frienRAB loving All American Rejects: They are a pop punk band who may not be great innovative musicians, yet they write super catchy and poppy music. Which isnt that the point of their music? If you listen to most main stream pop music it may be terrible yet for some reason it gets caught in your head and you keep singing it over and over. So it has fulfilled its purpose.
 
I don't think you get it. Progressive rock is not just rock music that is progressive, if this was true that would make Talking HeaRAB prog (who are not).

Progressive rock is defined by a criteria I have alrady explained, sure its a broad term, but that goes with most genres. Point is progressive and "prog" is not the same, prog is not just the general act of being progressive it actually is a genre with its own classfications. While there are many prog banRAB with an original sound, theres nothing that makes Flower Kings less of a prog band, less progressive sure, but they fit the criteria of a prog band and so thats what they are.

So once again the two worRAB are not mutually exclusive.

Bjork = Progressive but not prog.
Dream Theater = Not progressive and unfortunately prog.



See this is the problem. I don't see that many prog fans being this way. I think any prog fan thats not a complete moron should know that every genre is different and isn't meant to function the same way.

I mean the only proggie here who ever acts like you described was Don, but he thinks all prog thats not prog metal (which is all he ever listens to) is crap. Sad excuse of a proggie he was. And thank god he's not around anymore.

Comus can be that way too, but I know he likes The Ramones so he can't be that closed minded.



I think you confuse originality with creativity, these terms are also not mutually exclusive. You can be un-original and still be creative.



Yeah.
 
You must be joking.

The only point i'm making is with licensing deals , distribution deals varying from one area to another it's not as black & white as people seem to think it is.
 
oooh im changing my mind.

the type of music "fan" who love rock music, yet can only name about one guitarist or a vocalist or two.

also screamo fans
 
Exactly.

Like when you reply with "o, i like buckethead, john fruscainte, and cire" i just get a look back like you an idiot, what are you talking about, or Buckethead...that guy wears a KFC bucket on his head, your taste stinks.

Thats a hard one to defend to your average listener.
 
I love when history is made on these internet forums.

Honestly, can there really be one group of people that are bigger jerks then another? Anybody with a closed mind and a persistence that their tastes are superior seems to run the gamut of all genres.

When I was in college one of my professors (A Jazz musician) shat on anything that wasn't jazz... when I was in High School most of the people shat on anything that wasn't top 40. The list goes on and on... I mean anybody who's anybody knows if it ain't classic rock it's crap ;)
 
Indie banRAB don't necessarily have to be on a small label, though you're right in that none of those banRAB are particularly indie musically.
 
I no doubtedly say MetalheaRAB. Mannny of them are arrogant, self proclaimed, stubborn, ignorant sons a bitches. They think you are a pussy and coward if you cant take there style of music, regardless of cheesiness and lack of creativity.

(do not be insulted though, not all are)
 
lol, fair enough. I just think when it's as clear cut as a band explicitly putting themselves forth as major, that should be the end of the story.

And yes, I guess I had to have been joking. I wouldn't wish the hell of owning this record on anybody! Hard-Fi are without a doubt the sh1ttest band to come out of this country in 10 years.

Did you hear the album out of interest?
 
I don't give a **** about hard fi, urban said everything i wanted to. And isn't that what makes this place interesting? It's called music 'banter' not music everyone gets along because we all the same opinoin
 
I've had that happen to me more then a few times...and I get really upset because they know who MCR is and don't know who Led Zeppelin is...then I don't ever talk to them again.
 
Ha! Funny thing is the next day he came back to me and told me that he'd asked his parents about Jimi Hendrix, and they had both laughed at him for not knowing he was black. Even funnier, he later played me a mix tape he had made with only black artists on it, and the very last song was "You are so Beautiful" as sung by Joe ****er. So needless to say, when I told him that Joe ****er was white, that totally blew his mind.

Edit: I can't believe this damn site won't let me type Joe C0cker's name...
