well the unfortunate thing for you is that I do not take pride in having knowledge in something as petty and insignificant as heavy metal or even music in general. It is a hobby and something I do in my free time. To me there are a heck of a lot more important things in life than what I listen too and my knowledge about them. If you want to devote your studies and life to metal knowledge, more power to you. However, I find it sad that you feel the need to equate my ignorance with my "lack" of knowledge of the categories or aptitude of certain bands. As I hinted at before, it is unimportant in the grand scheme of things. So go on, keep criticizing people about their lack of knowledge of the intricacies of metal. However, at the end of the day you are being nitpicky over something that insignificant and unimportant.

Now to get more specific: I never said anything about your knowledge of what grindcore is. I did say that I, personally, did not separate bands in to these ultra-specific categories. To me, it is unimportant. If you feel the need to do so then have fun. I commend you on your "ability to see because you simply possess more knowledge." I apologize for my "brutal tinge of ignorance." There is nothing more brutal than someone who doesn't know all that is metal. You are the one that began your comments with disdain for me. You called me an ignoramus because I had mentioned Limp Bizkit.

Music is music, don't dilute it with labels and such. Just because death metal isn't your thing doesn't necessarily mean that death metal will equate to bad music.

Guess who said that once upon a time? And while it might not be totally relevant to this discussion... still... What the fuck happened to the open mindedness?

However, you're not a musician, right? Music is my life, so I surround myself with it night and day. I read about it, it's what I do. You calling music insignificant is a pretty petty thing in itself.

Your sarcasm is duly noted.

You're taking the term ignorance too personally. Look it up in the dictionary, it holds a lot less weight than you're making it seem. You speak about metal and apply labels to it. You've done it in this thread. If YOU are the one who starts labeling, then I see no wrong in correcting your incorrect statements. If it's not important, you wouldn't have bothered with it in the first place.

But it means one thing to you and another thing to someone else. Again, if you are the one who begins to speak on the matter, you can always count on someone else voicing a counter opinion. It probably means as much to me as it does you. I simply pointed out the fact that grindcore has been around a long time, and it has less to do with metal than people think sometimes. Believe it or not, some people would probably get offended over such things.

You claim this was a joke. However, I don't know if you caught this, but it just made you look foolish. To me, and to others. I wasn't the only person who commented on the statement, and your joke lacked any real humor or clarification as to lead one to believe that it was, in fact, a joke. You stuck your foot in your mouth. You made a statement that was absurdly stupid, and no one thought it was a joke except you, to this very day. It's not MY fault that you gave me a horrible impression, is it?

You're the ones making this about metal. I'm talking music. I thought all these sub-genres didn't mean anything to you? Why are you using them?

1. The thread is about metal/hardcore.

2. I never said the sub-genres didn't mean anything to me.

I never said Grindcore was old, I said the fact that it's used as a genre label is a fucking joke.

By the way, you should watch it when you talk down to people, you haven't made a single intelligent point and news flash: you're not as smart as you think you are. So drop the superiority complex, it grates on everyone's nerves.

Oh shit, you started him in again. Now he's going to go into a discussion on the embryology of hardcore and how it relates to the whole genetic equilibrium in a time warp while counting to ten. Then when you mention a band, he's going to tell you they suck and explain the phyics behind their suckiness. Then when you disagree he will point out your ignorance in the area of quantum physics and how it relates to metal.

this is why i've avoided this thread.

Really? That's too bad. I think it's pretty funny in that "I'm going to go home later and cry on behalf of our race" kind of way.

But yeah, I don't even pretend to know what's going on about the "underground scene" [HA!]. I know a few bands that my friends have told me about, but I think I made a long post a few months back about the reason [i]why[/i] a lot of music stays underground...

In all serioiusness this time, that kind of attitude is straight up close minded and narrow. If you think that commercial gets so many sales beacuse it's GOOD, then you obviously have a skewed perception of quality in music.

Don't twist my words around. I didn't say artists are commercial because they're good. Many are [in my opinion the best of artists are commercial], but I mean we all know what kind of shit is getting circulated on MTV and most radio stations right now. I said A LOT of music stays underground because it isn't good. NOT ALL, but A LOT. I like very little of the underground that I've been exposed to. A few hardcore bands, and that's about it.

I didn't commit myself to an absolute because 1) that's ignorant and 2) I knew you were going to come down here and try to jack off on my post. Sorry to rain on your parade.
