JUST SAYING. I think getting panties in a bunch over 'elitism' = the new elitism/hipster. I consider myself an elitist, so I have no idea what you mean here. Something about buthurt and panties... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 17,2011 9:18pm - autofellatio ""] This thread belongs on the ANUS forums. Go there and tell them about how awesome Opeth is and they'll try to out-Nietzsche you to death. Honestly, I used to subscribe to a lot more of the metal "philosophy" when I was in hike school, but it doesn't really fucking matter. I probably listen to other genres as much if not more than I listen to metal now, and I'm okay with that. I definitely feel like some of it is based in logic, but I don't want to grow up to be a bald old man who once tried to defeat Niagra falls in battle, hitting on ugly chicks in bars and then taking pictures next to them and posting them on the internet. Some times you just gotta have fun and deal with the bullshit. Stop trying to out-metal people, cause no one actually wins. |

If you say the sky is green and the grass is blue, and I say the opposite, I think my idea's better. e·lit·ism –noun 1. practice of or belief in rule by an elite. 2. consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/elitism It's not about personal dick-size comparing. It's about wanting a better idea. Which color is the sky? We need a real answer. Pissing contests are for preteens. We are in a time where the Holy Rule is that everyone is equal, and so every idea is equal. Elitism violates this. Unlike anarchy, Satanism, national socialism, etc. it's actually a reversal of the dominant paradigm. The fact is that everything is an opinion, but some opinions are closer to truth than others. And if you value correct answers... |

And if you value correct answers... "Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others." Ring a bell? An idea isn't 'better' just because it's yours. Or just because it's contrary, or post-whatever. There are opinons and there are facts. Opinions are subjective. Facts are objective. The sky is blue. Sorry! Do I think the music I like is better than the music the white trash asshole across the street likes? YES. But there's no absolute 'truth' about what music is 'better' than any other, or anyone's taste more 'correct' than anyone elses. Even if you can put lots of big fancy words together real good. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 18,2011 10:34am - Lamp ""] I'm pretty sure too that most people listen to music simply because they like it and not because they're searching for an "idea". Music is an escape. Save the mental energy used on creating ideas for the real world, where it actually matters. |
