God, it's not like this is going to inform anyone any better. If they don't already know when it is, who's playing, and what not, then they're retarded, even for an ASOT worshipper. |
Its not for spreading the information, its for future discussion on how was the show and stuff.:)

there's no way, at all, to prove a track is better than another. it's all about your taste or, if you don't enjoy it but think it's good, whatever you think that makes music "good". |
theres no physical way (such as chord progressions as you said) but there is in what the track is emmiting and whether or not you can see through it. I should hope you would with NSYNC even with their "high number of sales".
just because you like the track it doesent make it "good music". Ill admit I like a few cheesy and commercial tracks here and there but I would never say that they were good. why do I like them if theyre not good? because maybe they hit the spot with a certain melody or chord. but if I was ever called out on liking the track I wouldnt defend it. Id merely say it was a guilty pleasure. |

Look, stop being an ass, my signature has not changed in months and has never been a problem.
The reason for that is because I made it exactly small enough to come in under regulations. If you'd like, copy my sig and go try to put it in as a new sig to prove to yourself that you're wrong. |

I already explained what I meant by that. if its either over-dramatic or trying to hard to be something...like an anthem.
instead of focusing on being unique or imaginative it focuses too much on over-emphisising everything. |

ok, let me rephrase myself.
you're thinking good music = music that is "genuine" (i understand what you mean but that's something incredibly subjective and hard to measure) and inventive. some people might think good music = fun music, for example. NSync can be considered good if good music = music that can sell a lot.
do you get what i mean? there's no way, at all, to prove a track is better than another. it's all about your taste or, if you don't enjoy it but think it's good, whatever you think that makes music "good". |
My assesment of the situation is that he has accepted that but doesnt feel it is a valid reason to stop bashing people who like it. I feel that further arguing over this point is futile. At this point is has become an ego war, which no amount of arguing will result in reduced bashing of music, even though it is obvious that interperetations vary.
The only options at this point are "so what" or changing your taste to agree with his. That is the campaign everybody is on, to get people to convert tastes, onward musical missionaries, fight the crusade!

where the hell did I insult anyone or said it was O.K to? dont put words in my mouth. I made a crack about the MUSIC. it seems to be you ASOT fans who are insulting people here and getting overly defensive. |

ok so you distinguish "good music" from "what you like", which is something i personally don't do but nevermind. now try to distinguish "good music" from "what you think that is good music". do you think that is possible? and can you explain what makes all good tracks good?
i know this is getting complicated and philosophycal :p |

This is an insult, you are implying that everyone who likes ASOT should be ashamed of it. |

I have ears. with these ears I can hear the lyrics and I can hear the way that theyre sung and I can hear the generic supersaw that I notice in every other trance song since 1999... and over-done. |
