If you converted from being a music snob into a music fascist. . .
 
Who would you have your secret police put into camps?

I think I'd go for the people who think Minor Threat is better than Fugazi first. Throw in people who wear Grateful Dead t-shirts, people that called new "thrash metal" hardcore (like Job For a Cowboy), people who are REALLY big into Ska (just being big into the Specials isn't enough), and people who think that SY do nothing but make noise (naturally).

i'd probably go for those that claim the music they listen to is indie rock when they've never heard of dinosaur jr and sonic youth etc...

Dead-Air 07.22.2007 11:26 PM

I'd round up all of the people who say that Sonic Youth haven't done anything good since the '80s (or the '90s as that grunge/alternative contingent exists as well), but who haven't actually listened to anything since. Then all Young Country, Nu Metal, and post-Epitaph/Green Day/Blink 182 "punk" fans.

* People that say Sonic Youth is "90's grunge, like the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana and stuff"
* Almost every teenager, "scene kids".
* Those who think they are "Nirvana fans" because they have Kurt Cobain posters, and know Smells Like Teen Spirit.
* Nu-Country music lovers. If not for the terrible music, then for the fact that they are almost all retarded hicks.
* Mars Volta fans that know nothing of ATDI.
* Anyone that enjoys top 40 rock/pop stations, whatever.
* Those certain individuals that are so indie that they (irony is in...) "like" terrible manufactured pop groups/etc. Or those that just say bullshit in order to spark controversy, like "SY hasn't done anything good since the 80s," or the above example...

Country music is good. I mean the typical country that you may see on the country music channel is pretty shit and more comical than anything, but Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline etc), to mention a few, are great. The new Bright Eyes album is very country tinged too - you like that dude, right?

Everybody in Pittsburgh.

Shit, I meant to put "nu-country," shit that's on tv and radio and all that crap.

gmku 07.23.2007 01:55 AM

Everybody who thinks vinyl isn't better.

After that, my brother and sisters, and my dad.

this, and people that ironically listen to heavy metal or bands with names having anything to do with being against authority.

pbradley 07.23.2007 07:11 AM

all those sport guitar assholes that think techincal playing is only form of god music

basically anyone that follows only one kind of music and hates on all others out of ignorance

dude rock and tailer trash rap fans

I started to make a list and then decided I could summarise it with: everyone except people I like (which doesn't necessarily mean the same as people that agree with me).

Inhuman 07.23.2007 01:13 PM

-"I like rock and reggae" "Nice, what reggae artists do you like?" "Bob Marley"
-Those shits that wear Dark Side of the Moon shirts
-Other people as snobbish as me but only having a narrow taste in music. My friend burnt a CD of pop punk she listened to in high school and it was brutal, and she would only go on about how deep the lyrics were.

I really don't have a problem with too many people that aren't interested in music. They can listen to anything becuase they don't feel like taking the time to expose themselves to more music.




And Steve man, scene kids are KOOL.

Glice 07.23.2007 02:39 PM

That's as may be, and we can all agree that some people wear Grateful Dead t-shirts, but you do realise they are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWFUL, right?

demonrail666 07.23.2007 02:47 PM

My taste is all over the place so I'd probably convict myself before anyone else.

Rob Instigator 07.23.2007 02:54 PM

I would convict and send away any and very person responsible for MTV since 1990.
