I get annoyed when I hear this from people when I try to let them listen to something, the other day I was letting someone listen to boards of canada, and they said, "Thats not music!" not that boc is so abstract and on the fringes, but i would feel the same had I been playing merzbow or something. It really gets me irked, I am still thinking about it now as I right this. I am all for opinions and all, but this one blows my mind - to stamp something as not music? isnt that kind of kind of the point of art? to push boundaries and all. what are y'alls thoughts. |

just dont be bothered by ignorant people |

silly little sheltered lives |

Realize you're ignorant and don't bother other people. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
but just wait... in a few years your friend will discover them on their own and love em. |

it just bugs me a lot, like a critique against me personally |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that shit sucks |

real music is any song that's three minutes long or less, has vocals and you can either dance or cry to it. everything else need not apply. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would challenge them to define music and then just stare |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It 'bugs' you because the only way you can stick out is by listening to semi marginal music. Your friends appreciate music at face value. |
||||||||

not everything your therapist tells you applies to everyone else. but i'm sure there is a very good reason why mrgypsum craves the approval of his friends. |

you must've been talking to deaf people. |
||||||||

i agree with you, it must be annoying... i don't think i've ever actually heard it from anyone though. |

Used to get that kind of stuff when I worked in a shop "what is your CD skipping" actually pretty funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's funny once. I get this from my parents every time I visit them. My withering looks have no effect. |

i wouldn't really care how's it different from you thinking the same of merzbow, if they don't perceive it as music they don't by saying 'it's not music' they could mean 'it's noise', they could also mean that it's not their taste, because for instance they like only stuff with beats. but i think both reasons are valid |
||||||||
|

|
|
wow that's beautiful, did you make it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if they would say such a thing, you dont have enough respect around you. stand the fuck up for yourself and your music taste you weak pussy. |

why do nerds want to be part of the cool gang so much when all the cool gang does is spit on them, throw rocks at them, and kick dirt in their face? gosh i wanna be just like them so i can feel better about my own insecurities of not fitting in by taking it out on people weaker than me. i have never wanted to associate myself with people who disrespect me. i'd rather stick my boot up there asses. which if i did i'd have to stick my boot up everyones ass and i don't got the time or enough boots. so i stick to myself. i work the graveyard shift alone and i take all my college courses online so i don't have to put up with anyone else's bullshit. FTW! |

ah yeah, the simple people, the ones so sure about their own lives and their own taste in music. I even had this one classmate that kept repeating "Hello Meow" at me when i let him hear that track once, now that's annoying. |

That's why its called 'intelligent dance music'. Only we are intelligent enough to get it. *opens a bottle using ear as can opener* |

|

And yes you can open bottles with can openers. |

frustrating. you need to find some new friends, or stop playing boards of canada to complete strangers who are clearly not the kind of people you want to be around. if it's not their taste, that's fine, but saying it's not music is arrogant, stupid and a waste of your valuable time as a human being who will inevitably die. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it bugs me because it is music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aside from all of the lovely advice i am getting here, i more wanted your thoughts on the subject not a lesson on sticking up for myself or finding new friends i am no pushover. |
||||||||
|

Just as some people think that somehow "art" is a label of quality, those guys must think that music has to be good to qualify as music. They just think that you're uncool and have bad taste, and who can blame them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would think that i am cool by listening to music on the cusp with the 'new sound' thus my friends would give me the attention i so crave. its really sad, my hopes were dashed to bits, guys weres my soft shoulder to cry on? can i find no one here, HERE, that can substitute that attention? |
||||||||

i think exactly same of you |
||||||||
|

What is music, Woofro? |

If you casually expose people to new things, ex: play BOC in the car beneath a conversation, they're more likely to be receptive. What struck me by your post was that you mentioned twice that you "let" them listen to BOC. It's just music. I'm sure it hurts that your friends can't share in something you feel so strongly about, but you probably think some of their music choices are crap too. What do they like? Maybe you can start off with something in the middle and slowly bring them to your side of things. Just be casual like it's not a big deal. |

I want to make music, but I have no super powers left today. |

i like a lot of music, so we usually try to swap artists we never heard before its not that they didnt like it that bothers me, its that they say its not music, thats what bothers me - i would have liked better if they said, this sucks! |
