Let's Massacre A Thread: Let's Massacre A Band threads

noisereductions · 02.28.2010, 06:59 PM

okay well, I posted this in the AC thread, but it's relevent, so...

these are the worst fucking threads on this board. And I mean it. They're counter-intuitive to who we are as a forum. We used to be board that was open-minded and shared things. So why would we want to be a bunch of fucking snarky elistist douchebags that draw lines in the sands of what is cool and what bands the rest of us should be embarrassed to listen to? Unless y'all are planning to send yr resumes to Pitchfork, I suggest we bury these fucking Let's Massacre A Band threads and pretend they never happened. Who's with me?

I think it was just for fun. sure, some people take it seriously, but I took it as a lighthearted attempt to parody music geek's tendency to rip things to shreds.

face it, music geeks love to hate on stuff.

that said, yeah, genteel death is a huge cunt. what can you do about it?

pbradley · 02.28.2010, 08:31 PM

Get back by talking shit on their favorite music.

I dont give enough shits. Besides, what do they like? I don't even know.

pbradley · 02.28.2010, 08:48 PM

Talk shit on Stereolab, The Fall, and Coil and see what happens.

hate is for haters
love is for lovers
when lovers hate
haters love

floatingslowly · 02.28.2010, 09:10 PM

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

verme (prevaricator) · 02.28.2010, 10:04 PM

aren't those threads just an excuse to discuss music?

"who we are as a forum"
really, aren't you over-romanticizing a bit?

"draw lines in the sands of what is cool "
i'm not a native speaker; people actually say this? haha

alteredcourse · 02.28.2010, 10:17 PM

^^ exactly, these "hate" threads are just other ways to talk about music. Nobody is personally attacked, here. People who even like these bands can use the opportunity to say what they DONT like, so that not every conversation has to be about glowing adoration. Like, exploration, you know? Remember that night you made out with that guy? Like that.

Oh, and
It's just plain fun to wreck on a band that usually gets a lot of attention. Sometimes that attention just doesnt seem warranted. DISCUSSION ?

Suchfriends' ripping on the grateful dead is cool because he loves them but can see how they can be skull-breakingly annoying. Go suchfriends for not being a defensive twat about his musical tastes!

verme (prevaricator) · 03.01.2010, 04:14 PM

i was referring to the sands of coolness.

verme (prevaricator) · 03.01.2010, 04:34 PM

reality bites, that classic of cinema.

how could i not know?

atsonicpark · 03.01.2010, 05:54 PM

they were the only interesting threads we've had on this board in forever. this board is basically dead.

Oh well, let's do the tampon tango.

noisereductions · 03.01.2010, 07:02 PM

alright well. Maybe I just remember the board being a completely different vibe a time. I miss that. So fuck me.

atsonicpark · 03.01.2010, 07:52 PM

Shrug. I've been with this board for as long as anyone so I know firsthand that it goes through phases of pure... boringness.

noisereductions · 03.01.2010, 08:12 PM

adam it's not the boring-ness that bothers me. It's the prickery. There's a handful that seem to thrive on it (GHOSTBUSTERS 2 PINK SHIT) and I think it's stupid.

floatingslowly · 03.01.2010, 08:39 PM

you cannot let other's hate affect you so badly.

let it slide off of you, like water on the bamboo.

wax on>whacks off

noisereductions · 03.01.2010, 08:50 PM

I heard that ducks are built to let water flow off of them rather than make them heavy so that they'll sink. You think I should be duck-like, eh?

floatingslowly · 03.01.2010, 09:01 PM

I almost went with that, but instead chose Miagi.

but, yes, just like that.

internet people will always hold differing opinions. you can't let that bother you.

hold true to your opinions, and either fight for them or ignore the static.

I practically preach this to my wife, but she never listens.

Noooooooooooooo. I can let it bother me, bother me to the point where I
post a barrage of Snoopy and Snoopy-related images to counteract the
idiocy directed my way and also to illustrate my fathoms-deep passion for my
opinion.
