I make jokes in an attempt to keep the discussion from turning in a flame war, so sue me!
Go back to my previous post, I said "music was a shitty version" or words to that effect, didn't I?
So much for making jokes to stop insults, shame ...
That is what fashion is! It's how the world works, if you talk about something you use words relating to that point, if you don't nobody knows what you are on about .... When you say fashion victim everybody thinks of a badly dressed person.
I think most telling of all is your posts have strayed from the subject matter to irrelevant things.

I don't think I stated I was being objective, isn't that what forums are about? Subjectivity? I'm sorry if you got the wrong idea or I somehow implied that what I was saying was fact but the thread title is asking for opinions and that's what I gave.
"you can't use that as a "reason" to say its
subjectively inferior" fixed that for you.
I didn't pick that based on how good it was, I picked that one 'cos it was the first video to illustrate my point. He was confused about what I was talking about so I linked a video, to be honest I never even watched it.

I don't recall saying anything to the contrary. If I did, I do apologize.

There was a singer, can't remember her name, who said "there is no new music, it's all just other peoples work rearranged". I mean, aren't there only like 6 letters in music? So there is only a finite number of combinations, correct?

I really disagree with the notion of how much skill it takes to do something gives it some merit.
Singing is pretty easy to do. Hell, pretty much anyone who isn't tone deaf or mute can do it. With some practice, and knowing the right people, you could probably sing for a living (would help if you knew another instrument too, something simple like guitar or piano).
In fact, learning to play a piano cover of almost every chart song in the past 5 years is probably easier (although more tedious) than producing a decent electronic music track.
Well, that is your prerogative.
I think you are now giving way too much credit to you preferred genre of music.

Actually,
in my opinion dubstep isn't music. I think that classifies as an opinion, but what the hell do I know? Fuck all according to a lot of people. *insert I don't give a fuck smiley*
Congrats?
Congrats again? I literally have no idea what you want me to say to these claims.
Did you just tell me that stuff recorded in a recording studio is messed with after recording, no matter the genre of music? I think I just found the most obvious fact on the internet.
I have a basic understanding of sound on a scientific level, it's a rusty as a nail in a boardwalk though.
Good luck telling Jeremy Soule that ... whoever he is.
Also, pro tip: using abbreviations is pretty pointless, I don't know what they mean so I have to completely ignore the sentence they are used in. For example: "Hans Zimmer uses a lot of sample patches and VSTs for his pieces." means nothing to me, VST could mean "void stamp tax" for all I know ... even reading wiki left me dumbstruck.
