Right now the guy across from me in the lab is listening to R&B (29)

1 Name: Unpopular Popstar 2004-12-03 20:20 ID:z2Ri8CQw [Del]

I don't know what type of music it is actually ("rap" maybe?) but the chorus goes "shut up just shut up shut up". He is playing it full blast from his laptop.

This music makes me want to vomit. Why does he actually like this shit? And why won't he fucking wear headphones goddammit?

Rap sucks.

Hip-Hop and Rap are the same thing.

Discuss.

They both suck.

dmpk2k, you really enjoy trolling ever since you don't have the burden of being an admin on your shoulders anymore and the consecutive responsibility to at least act mature and coherent for most of the time, don't you?

Mainstream music from any genre generally tends to suck, and since casual listeners will mostly only hear this subset of the genre, they erroneously assume the whole genre sucks.

Arguing musical taste is so fucking pointless >:(

Making fun of other people's horrible taste isn't pointless. It's half of the purpose of acquiring a good taste in the first place!

I'm afraid you're taking this too seriously. Most of what I post is meant in good humor, I don't intentionally go trolling.

If you want a reply of more substance, then yes, I do dislike rap and hip-hop. Coming from a musical background I find the cacophony annoying. Frankly I like most my music without any lyrics because most popular singers couldn't sing in tune and with a pleasant timbre if their life depended on it, but if there are people singing at least they can put a melody to it.

Background beat and rhythmic recitation don't equate to music for me. Nor do I have any particular interest in the men discussing how oppressed and difficult their lives are, how they going to get someone else, etc. And the women seem to largely consist of "women power" weirdness who insult everything about the opposite sex. Thanks guys.

Your mileage may differ.

I find it annoying in general when people play their music at full blast in a study room, showing no consideration for others.

That's a fair assertion because in this case it's true. I can't say I much liked anything some friends, who were deep into that culture, played though.

BTW, radio killed the radio star. Seems like most decent stations have either gone completely commercial or been eaten alive by conglomerates.

If there was a music board, I'd posts some songs I like. I really detest most mainstream rap music, but there is stuff I really love. The names mentioned in my earlier post, for instance.

Word. I'll listen to everything from the Doors to Belle and Sebastian to Sun Ra. There's good and bad in any genre.

Don't know if it was intentional but I noticed your list kinda has a West Coast slant though. I also recommend MF Doom, Aesop Rock, and Atmosphere among others. For anyone looking for something different check out for dudes like Sage Francis and the anyone in the Anticon collective.

Completely unintentional. Except that those are to some extent a one-leads-to-the-other thing. I'll just listen to whatever I happen to discover.

Your point being...?

Kotoko is batting above industry average. Most popular groups over there are little more than one-hit wonders.

26 Name: Unpopular Popstar 04/12/17(Fri)20:07 ID:Heaven [Del]

Nagashima always batted above industry average.

I dislike Kotoko. Coming from a musical background I find the cacophony annoying.
