Subject: Why get mad over other people's musical opinions?

Who am I?

mah twitter

Yes, that (obvious troll) thread Skrillex > Michael Jackson made me think about this once again..

What is is about musical opinions that makes people so mad? In that thread, I saw multiple people say "kill yourself", even though all OP did was express an opinion.
And why do people feel the need to "prove" their taste in music is better?

Don't you people have anything better to do than fight over trivial things like this?

in·dif·fer·ence
the fact or state of being indifferent; lack of care or concern and empathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions.

Because people are stupid and don't grasp the concept of an opinion.

That would be the easy explanation, but I saw some respectable floodians (if that makes sense) go on about how MJ changed music and Skrillex didn't. As if that somehow matters when deciding what music someone likes and what he/she doesn't like.

In my opinion, I don't care who laughs last or first. As long as I laugh in the process, everything is good.

They stoopid

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

Your argument is invalid.

Ehhh...I just proved your argument right then?

How can a taste in music be wrong?

If I don't agree with it -- it's wrong.

  • 12.07.2012 2:35 PM PDT

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Because.

People aren't allowed to like the things I don't like.

I think it's because a lot of people believe a contradicting opinion is an affront to their own opinion, thus they feel as they must prove why they hold their opinion and how it's better than the other. IMO.

  • 12.07.2012 2:37 PM PDT

Whenever I dislike music, I believe it is because I don't fully understand what I'm listening to.


Which is why I keep an open mind when listening to anything.



Plus it's my job....

Sigh.. I don't even know why expected to see at least one serious answer here..


I just want to know, why on Earth would someone get legitimately mad over other person's taste in music? Because that does really happen. Where are all the people from that other thread who got trolled?

  • 12.07.2012 2:38 PM PDT

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I've never understood music elitism. I like hard rock, metal, and classical. I hate pretty much all other genres. That doesn't mean I have to judge people for liking them. I'll respect their tastes, and I hope they'll do the same for me.

  • 12.07.2012 2:38 PM PDT

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I'll get mad if somebody likes Chris Brown.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

No. This is the Flood, how could you say such a thing?

I gave a serious well-thought answer in my opinion. :(

The whole idea of musical opinions is completely backwards thanks to the media. I love a wide variety of music but a lot of the music I see doesn't fit the genres they say they are in. I'm a huge metal/rock fan and Maynard James Keenan is among the few musicians that are never wrong. The only thing that annoys me is when people overgeneralize. Also a note to the Grammy's coldplay is not rock end of story.I enjoy music that makes the mind think. I cannot stand music that has dumb lyrics and a lack of emotion.

I don't dislike him because of the music he makes; I dislike him because he's a vile human being.

You want a serious answer? All I got is that it's just human nature to come to the defense of things you like. I can't really explain it. When people talk bad about something you like, there's something in you that just wants to fight back and "protect" it.

It's kinda like if somebody is calling your mom a whore or whatever. While a part of you realizes that you shouldn't give a -blam!- about what somebody who isn't even relevant to your life thinks, another part naturally jumps into defense mode. You know what I'm saying?
