Inkster Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 they think they are excellent and they want to educate / share the knowledgeThis is what everyone should be doing. Not hogging a band for themselves to score brownie points that they know about them and someone else doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Just so this thread isn't completely useless here is a video of a young Henry Rollins letting rip on a naive 'fan' Henry Rollins has obviously always been a total cock then.

Guest idol_wild Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 But yeh, one of my pet grumbles is people rabbiting on about bands nobody's ever heard of NOT because they think they are excellent and they want to educate / share the knowledge, but because they want to show their underground music knowledge credentials by seeking out really obscure bands to try and sound cool.I don't know anyone who does this. In fact, most of the people I talk about music with are only to happy to tell me about new bands, and vice versa.What I do hate, however, is when I am accused of being pretentious/precious/too cool to admit to liking certain bands. I was quite recently accused of this by my girlfriend because I said that I didn't like Midlake! What the fuck!? I just don't like Midlake.I also hated the fact that when I worked at One Up I was accused of being pretentious and judgemental by a customer. I challanged him over this and asked why they thought that, and they said "because you look so intently at the spine of the CD case every time I buy some, as if you are judging what I am buying"......in One Up, the CD cases are empty and they have to be matched up to the correct CD which are kept in cardboard sleeves behind the counter. So I wasn't judging in any way - I was ensuring I matched the right case up witht he right disc! Fucking idiot.I was also once accused of being too pretentious to like Muse. "You just don't like them because they're so big"......No, I just don't like them because I don't like their songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is. If I wrote that song I'd be fucking delighted.I will happily admit to absolutely loving Annie Lennox, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like you're trying to convince everyone you aren't racist: 'Honestly, I've got loads of black mates!'Oh, lame thread. I'd happily be spoon fed music if there was a feeder out there equal to the task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like you're trying to convince everyone you aren't racist: 'Honestly, I've got loads of black mates!'Ha. Too true. I can accept how that looks. But it wasn't my initial point - I was only reacting to Officer's misunderstanding that I was a fiend for Take That.Now, where's my 12" copy of The Faithful Anchor by Unwed Sailor...

Panda Strong Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Worst thread ever.once you hit your later teen years, you'll realise that 99% of the world's population listens to awful music - what is the point in letting it frustrate you? people as a rule, have awful taste in music, movies, clothes, cars...and lots of people also might think that the 'underground and therefore great' music you listen to is shit, too. my advice is to stop caring.Truth.
