    I want to get back to the term "sellout." It is hands down the most overused term ever. It has lost ALL meaning.

    "Their new album sounds so different, they're sellouts"

    "Their new album sounds just like the last one, they're sellouts"

    "Metallica isn't angry anymore. they're sellouts"

    "U2 changed their sound in the 90's, they're sellouts"

    "U2 went back to a safer sound in 2000, they're sellouts"

    "Pearl Jam stayed out of the spotlight for 8 years. they're sellouts"

    "Pearl Jam did promos for Avocado, they're sellouts"

    "Bands that let their songs in video games are sellouts"


    I have gotten to the point where I refuse to talk to anyone who uses the term "sellout" any more

    Yep. There's a lot about Mozart that still resists the strenuous efforts of the ruling classes to assimilate him into the dominant bollocks of this world. He's like Shakespeare in that respect. The more the State champions him, the more something in his genius says, fuck off, I'm nothing to do with the cliches you use to constrain me.

    As crazy as this remark is on first read (The State?), it makes sense. His work transcends bullshit. That cliche shit though, that affected how he was perceived for a long time. --> proof that people are idiots.

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.

    It's only crazy if you haven't any academic knowledge of art and ideology.

    God if you're talking about Hitler, JC. OK fine. Not where I would have taken this.

    It's not that I'm bothered by others' taste, it's more so that I'm bothered by the "I don't like any ______" kind of statement. Usually it's "I don't like any rap or country", but when women come in (or more commonly "chicks") it crosses the line for me. How does a person know he/she wouldn't enjoy ANY country band, any rapper, or any woman-fronted band? It's the generalizations that get me. (For the record, I'm not saying you made any such claim.) There's a difference between admitting you can't think of a female-lead band you like and simply stating that you don't like any woman musician.

    By the way, I'm willing to admit that I tend to get caught up in the details! I'm just explaining away my initial complaint here.:)


    I can honestly say there isn't one rap song out there that I like, and 99% of country music is worthless to me, especially the drivel that Wal Mart plays in the mornings

    "i think nickelback is the best rock band around today" ....one of my friends said this when we were driving to canada and i couldnt believe it, i didnt even respond to him because i was in such belief


    Ton's of people say that around Western NY....I just laugh and don't even start with them because they refuse to take anyone else's opinion. Another one my friend said the other night:

    "Dude, Tool sucks, Maynard is a fag......he totally is, what do you think Prison Sex is about, him getting raped in prison. Don't you hear the lyrics 'Tell Bob to come over and cum in my hands'"

    I just laughed and said Maynard never went to prison. Then he went on a big spree trying to tell me how much Perry Farrell and Scott Weiland are gay too because of how they are on stage.

    I hate when a rapper uses the following tired lyric....

    "Put you hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care."

    Seriously isn't it the hip hop law that you have to utter that phrase at least once?
