.....girls and shity music?!?!? another recent topic got me thinking, and: i dont know ANY girls my age who are into ANYTHING other than pop ...im not trying to be sexist... but its just so frustrating! they're all so narrow minded (not just about music, but other stuff too..) now, most guys my age are this way too (although a slighty higher portion seem to be more independant minded) ...but im not attracted to guys! anyways... do u find this too? why do u think this is? |
||||||||

yeah i know...it's weird. Most of the girls i know like boy bands or creed or typical top40 fluff. Not quite everyone is like that (I managed to get a co-worker to like aphex), but I'm not sure what it is. Most of them tell me it's because they must have "singing" in their songs. Or usually it's because there are cute guys in the band. |

I also find this to be true. Girls don't care about how music is done or what goes behind it (sorry but Im speaking for the majority). It's how girls are. Men are more interested in how things work. Thus if a girl hears something poppy she can dance to, BANG, she dances and enjoys it. Some guys will follow this as well and will not care about the music. Its a tough situation. I think theres a minority out there (us for instance) that truely cares about music and would rather get something out of it intellectually than just something to mindlessly dance to. Some people don't care and would rather dance. |

Yes I agree with XLR. Cute guys in bands usually suck in the girls (pardon the pun if there was one) by the billions. Sad but true. |

it would be interesting to actually do a study of a valid sample of the population to actually test this out you know... but I think I do agree, it seems that a higher majority of girls are into pop crap... it's probably some scientific reason, like females are more emotional people, so maybe sappy songs like Hero by Enrique Iglesias appeal to them more... or something... but I could also be REALLY sexist and say that it's because girls aren't as intelligent as guys, and thus can't comprehend the intelligent music of Aphex Twin, and the like... ... but I won't... :) |

Hey now Funk, if you were nudging me there quite it! I didn't say girls were not intelligent but said that they don't care...meaning that they'll just dance and enjoy something. Girls I hear in reports are smarter than boys. So... |

girls are a pain in the pass. That's all there is to it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
man, I wasn't refering to you... |

What I would like to know is their fascination with the word "Angel" in their chat names: SweetAngel DeatAngel AngelGirl Sweetangel4U BluestarAngel It goes on and on and on and on.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay Funkmaster...sorry about that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, women ARE angels though aren't they? :) seriously though, I think women are great... the whole attraction and love thing is a pain in the ass sometimes, but women still rock!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
girls r weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya! they all have (well, MANY of them) the same internet names too! TONNES of "-angel"s in their names.. plus these others: cat/kitten cute/cutey sweet sexy sunshine eyes ...etc u end up with something like: "sweet-sunshine-sex-kitten's-angel eyes" ...then, their name makes them possesed by some guy, (ie: "daves'gal") ...or, possesed by some celebrity! (ie: aphex'skitten) oh god... the names make them out to be such MORONS! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, another thing I find with girls is that they love the stupid forwarded message things... you know the ones, "Send this one to 5 people, and you will fall in love" or some crap... and you ever look at all the e-mails? It's all girls!!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly lol. I get those all the time and I just delete them.. It's always something like "OMG happy sunshine friends are 4ever!!!11" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tell you, those forwards are their weakness! We must undergo studies and use this against them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
lol so true XLR! |
||||||||
|

Aminal: lol Funkmaster: that's true. Once my ex-girlfriend sent me an email about how this family who's son is dying in the hospital is being sponsered by AOL/Time Warner and for each person that receives 'tracked' mail the family received 30 cents towards the kids operation. I wrote her back saying this is a load of crap because a) AOL/Time Warner would never do anything too altruistic, b) why the hell would they...--well I don't need to explain it to you, you understand |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

they're so lame... I just delete them now... |

It all started when Bill Gates was in high school. He started them and they're still circulating to this day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bill Gates is Satan... if you take each letter of his name, convert it to the ascii number value or whatever, and add them up, you get 666... coincidence? I think not!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
r u saying bill gates is a girl? hm... ..u may be right.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol AMinal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and so from this we can say that satan is a girl... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Devil woman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess in a red dress? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then from there.. ..can we say that all women are the devil? just kidding ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol. Girls are evil you know? Evil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
girls = time + money money = root of all evil girls = evil or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol now it makes sense! Girls USE guys for their own! WE'RE BEING USED!!! |

||||||||
|

||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|

I'm sick of girls being so shallow; I'm not going to cut them any more slack for listening to shitty music than I am for guys who listen to shitty music. that said, I have very few friends who listen to, put simply, the kind of stuff that I listen to (Aphex, Autechre, Plaid, Pole, Mira Calix, etc.), male or female. the only other person I know who actively listens to Autechre as much as I do (actually he listens to it more) is my brother. the only other close friend I have who actively listens to Plaid is female. many of my friends like the music I listen to, but, as seems to be agreed in this thread, I just don't think that intellectual music and artistic values apply to the general populace as much as pretty faces or people they feel they can relate to on a more direct level. |
||||||||

|
|
:D LOL that's excellent AMinal!! Make girls do the thinking while we keep on drinking!!! YEAH!!! |
||||||||

I think we should just stop this topic now after what Licence said because that absolutly sums things up :) Thanks for that. Couldn't have said it better myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, my family name is flowers, so i'm my wife's flowers. don't need to send her flowers ever. just say, "here they are!!!" and i open my arms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's sweet Joey :) I bet she enjoys that. That and your cooking. Speaking of cooking I got a question for you but I'll put it on a new topic. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh, that's so sweet!!!! |

as for music and girls... well, i know quite a few "intense and serious" listeners, not into aphex, but jazz. they are quite astute and are very articulate when it comes to discussing music... then again, they are not young girls, they are about 40 years old. my wife will listen to most of my music (Aphex, Autechre, Pat Metheny, Mike Oldfield, Paul Simon, Primus, other jazz, Living Colour, the list goes on) and not complain, but she doesn't listen intensely like I do. for an interesting disussion about gender and music, check out. it's from the pat metheny group discussion board, kinda like this message board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, girls are more likely to be into top 40/pop stuff than guys. but i know girls who are reeeeeeeeally into music, the only difference is it tends to be more lyrical than instrumental. that doesn't mean it's mainstream; we're talking indie rock here, from well known to extremely eclectic and obscure. quite passionate about it. just not much electronic generally, usually just more mainstream and poppish electronica (chems, prodge, FBS, beta band if you count them, sometimes aphex). |
||||||||
|

|
|
I know grrlz that listen to every kinda of music there is and even still THEY'RE all shitty! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this is becoming a concern gentlemen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except of course, (now don't think i'm being biased in any way) grrlz into aphex. They are the fucking best! |
||||||||
