I don't consider anybody to be godlike. Every human on this planet is exactly that: a human.
But when it comes to music, I don't give a **** about "real metal" or "mainstream" or "poser" or whatever to fudge label you want to smack on artists. I listen to what I like, and I don't take **** about it.Comment

What you said above is lame!Originally posted by Nacher
I'm really shocked by two things this thread shows up :
1. Like 99% of the bands you list are from US or UK. I knew those areas are very isolated when it comes to music scene, but it seems like you haven't got a slightest clue what kind of music is made in the rest of the world
2. Your musical tastes are unbeliveably shallow, narrow and predictable. Most of the people here list only the most known and accessible mainstream genres, and only the easiest and most accessible bands from them. Tool seems to be the only major exception, but it most likely is because their skyrocketed popularity, not their complex musical delivery. Someone who lists bands like Linkin Park as godlike, most likely don't have a clue about music.
Guys like Marumari and blh seem to be quite far above the mass though. Some actual depth and diversity in those lists, not just 50 mainstream rock and 50 mainstream rap bands.
Phew. Listen to some Pink Floyd, Opeth, Shpongle, whatever... Just try something that does not play on MTV.
end of rant
First, I never watch MTV. So what MTV has to say about music is irrelevant as far as I'm concernd.
Second, music can, of course, be approached objectively, but what matters is subjective. Do I like the music or not? Yes? Then I buy the album or go see the band in concert. I don't need people like you telling me I sold-out, dumbed down, polluted my mind with mainstream ****, or did my self a disservice by listening to music you happen to find inferior.
Third, there is no capitalist conspiracy movement through the record industry subtely manipulating the listening preferences of would-be listeners. IF THE MUSIC IS MAINSTREAM ITS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE IT AND THEY SHOW THAT LIKENESS BY BUYING THE CD, OR GOING TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT.
The musicians you mentioned can be purchased in the U.S. Whether people listen to them is up to people willing to pay money for their music. IT"S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!
BTW: Pink Floyd is about as mainstream as you can get!Comment

I seriously doubt you even know what techno is. I bet you're one of those Americans that call every track with a fast BPM techno.Originally posted by blh
I did say techno was no better than elevator music. An overgeneralization no doubt about it. But there's truth in that statement.Comment
