The elistist mentality here is starting to grate. Sure, I can admit that artists like Autechre and Afx are more complicated then lots of other artists out there (and I enjoy their music) but so what? Does that mean people can't enjoy other artists (like Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Moby, ect.) who also produce some top quality music? (Ok...maybe not Moby so much..:D) I don't want to have to feel afraid to admiting I like these "golden oldies"....If you don't like them, thats perfectly fine, but the way people just describe them as "shit" and then go on about more clever bands for more clever people gets on my tits a bit. Thanks. (all music has it's place!) I know you will all take this the wrong way, so... 1)I like Warp artists too :) 2) I am not trying to start a flame war, just pointing my opinion out. |

I'm too easy going for it to bug me very much. Most of the time I just laugh and crank up the Pet Shop Boys. |

All music has it's place. Just sometimes it's place is deservedly somewhere far away. |

i just think that we shouldnt argue so much on what we're saying, but should simply say it! and i add that it will be kewl not to have to read so many kind posts on every shitty mgm-universal-globalisation artist around!!! they're already having their 15 minutes of fame, so please dont throw flowers at them on an aphex messageboard... hey ! relax thats only my opinion!! :D |

"All music has it's place. Just sometimes it's place is deservedly somewhere far away. " hehe....I meant all music apart from manufactured pop then....And, I'm not saying some of the artists I like should always be admired, just that you shouldn't diss them and say "they're shit" just becuase they might not be as experimental as Afx. I think Vangelis and Jarre are too people who deserve more respect. |

i've never posted on okayplayer.com because the people there are very judgemental, ignorant, closeminded, and elitist. i read interesting threads on that board but have never created an account over the two years i've visited the site. unfortunately over the last few weeks on this board i'm seeing signs of the same thing on this board, mostly from people who started coming here this summer or fall. while i agree everyone should be able to express him or herself without restriction on here, and musical taste is worth discussing, i don't think it's being done in a very understanding or tolerant manner. in fact, it perfectly mirrors the closeminded attitude of some of electronic music's biggest critics. just be respectful of other people's musical tastes no matter how different it is from yours or how similar it is to "the mainstream." and it'd be even better if you were not only respectful of different tastes but actually OPEN MINDED about them, perhaps giving them a good listen. |

tits: not to start anything here... just making an observation, but I think you are one of the most judgemental people here. Sure you listen to all types of music, but if anyone challenges your ideas, its like they are morons. You come off very condesending. Again, not trying to start shit, but thats just how it feels when ever I discuss music with you. |

zeus: i don't really like discussing music w/ you because you yourself can be very closeminded, ignorant, judgemental, intolerant, etc. when it comes to music, and that brings out the worst in me. other people i'm not so bad, and believe me i'll realize it immediately or shortly after if i'm being a bit unfair to someone about music. i don't ever question someone's right to listen to any kind of music, i just sometimes find myself wondering if they're familiar with ___ band or musical movement and exactly how much listening and thinking they've done before judging. |

|
im sure I can but i just found that whole essay you wrote to be alittle ironic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so be it. other people agreed with it and i myself stand by it and don't find any irony in it. no one is perfect so if i sometimes break from my intentions then i think i shouldn't be held on any special scale just cos of how you perceive my supposed tone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I totally agree with this... I find it a lot myself... I have, and will continue to express my liking of people and bands like Peter Gabriel, Tears for Fears, Toto, etc, etc, no matter what anyone says... because I like it, and I don't care about what someone thinks... I myself do say sometimes "That sucks!!" but I really mean, "I think that sucks"... I have nothing against anyone for liking anything, or look down at anyone, so in the future if I say "Oh, that sucks, and you suck ass for liking it" then, just realize I'm not putting you down!!! ;) but about what Zeus said about titsworth, I can see sometimes what you might mean about him being elitest and whatever, but I don't take it as being that way... he's just an informed (REALLY informed) music fan who tells it like it is... he's usually dead on with his facts, and if he's a bit blunt sometimes then so be it... there's no point beating around the bush... *hugs titsworth* :) |

special scale? just letting you know how i felt. and its not to say i didnt agree with what you said, its just that it seemed to be against how you act alot of the times. or to me at least. again, i wasnt attacking you, just sharing my feelings |
||||||||
|

|
|
aw thanks funkmaster.. ;D i didn't want to pat myself on the back and say "i know what i'm talking about and that gives me a degree or authority in music debates" but, um, yea. it's funny being humble AND blunt, sometimes stuff like this just comes out despite myself. |

there is a difference between being educated on the different styles of music, and statings ones opinions |

Whoa. Toto? Admittedly they might have hit a creative and commericial zenith after the release of Toto IV, but what have they been up to since then? That must have been 20 years ago... |

am I the only one dumb enough to be missing a point here? How's this "Us" and who's this "Them"?? way not to start a flame war btw.... I will keep my proboscis..out from this point on.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think "us" is the elitists that are on the boards, and "them" are the people who listen to music that isnt "good enough" for the "elitists" " count= 9 (including the one in this sentance" |

true this is no longer aphextwin.nu.. so yeah talk about what you want..but if you are allowed to express your opinion so are the people who dont like your taste in music..(I am yet to see anyone say Vangelis is shit btw)...but if you are willing to air your opinions about the music you like..just have the balls and the passion to defend it as well... |
||||||||
|
|

Vangelis is shit! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

"us is the elitists that are on the boards, and them are the people who listen to music that isnt good enough" for the elitists" That's what I was trying to portray, yes...and I'm not saying it's bad to like complicated music at all (I do) but it's just annoying when people look down on you because of your tastes in music (such as threads about jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis which I have read.) |
