Nobody is as open-minded as they tell other people they are and the only people who are act like weirdos. Like this guy:HardkorSB said:
I can give you credit for at least trying to listen to it, but it seems like you spent your time thinking up how you were going to badmouth the song instead of listening to it.NotSoNimble said:
I was going to post about how most of the elitists on this website are children who don't know much, and then I saw your post. I'll shut up now.Cowabungaa said:
And you think electronic producers dont? Here's a little information, most good electronic artists play multiple instruments, know music theory to beyond degree level, have mastered the programs required to produce and master a track (which all songs need anyway but most artists dont do themselves because they dont have the expertise) and often create custom equipment to use live. Are you aware that producers spend months creating their songs? The good ones at least. There are shit and lazy artists in all genres.macacos2 said:
Music is the purposeful arrangement of sound and silence, therefore as dissonant as a song may be, it's still music. If you deny that it doesn't make you closed minded, it makes you ignorant.macacos2 said:
I spent my time listening to what was linked. I didn't like it, and stated why.Prophetic Heresy said:

Do you understand electronic music? You have to study for years to understand how to make anything near professional standard, and spend months equalising tracks, selecting and changing effects etc. I'm not going to argue that some artists throw out 5 minute produced garbage but a lot of people have their freakin' degree, and actually put a lot of work, similar to that of Classical composers (note here, I don't like electronica, but I can appreciate the hard work that goes into it - Classical Music and Hip-Hop are what I listen to the most), into their compositions. People never seem to remember that in the old days, 99.9% of what was out there was instantly forgettable garbage too.macacos2 said:
I didn't say all lacked it, just that I had not yet found any that didn't. Also, I don't find my emotion in lyrics, as I've mentioned in a previous post, I find it in melody and accompaniment. I like music to wash over me and take me to a place unlike the world around me. Lyrics just usually don't hit that sweet spot for me.kcjerith said:
Yeppers, they were pretty much nothing like the Peppers you hear today. A lot more funk influences and plenty of songs with rapping in it, songs like this one:TestECull said:
Pretty vague, seeing as for example R&B uses both of those things. Electro and club music as well, though "club" is pretty vague in it's own right. Over here at least, it's mostly music like this that gets the label "pop":
