Music stereotypes

[aander91]

anyone that becomes upset over the lyrics of a song that they a. don't listen to and b. can't understand (when listening to) can go (something mean here)

Most people never read stuff like I posted, so to react with disgust doesn't mean you're weakminded. I was shocked when I first read those because I really never realized just how graphic they were. Seriously, that paints quite the vivid picture.

Also, you can't blame people for not wanting to think of someone who "saw his organs collapse" amongst other things.

But listening to it without discerning what the lyrics are is fun in my opinion. Not really something that I would consider to be good music but I won't deny the novelty. Although AC is my shock band of choice.

my point above all else is, you shouldn't get offended by something that you don't have to listen to. no one is making you listen to it, just don't listen to it if you don't like it

...are we supposed to listen to a song that we get upset over? Also I think I will go [something mean here].

no you aren't, that's my whole point

You have to listen to it if you're riding in a car with friends who enjoy that kind of garbage >.>

If I ever learn to drive, you don't wanna get in a car with me then. :p Also, might as well just say I feel almost no level of disgust towards them lyrics you posted. (Feel free to call me a freak, a psycho, whatever). Okay, if I saw it actually happen, I probably would, but just imagining it, not really.

Ai, but then again reading most things is like reading books for me, it's just boring.

Garbage? Geez. I thought this wasn't a "bash another genre/band because You don't like it" thread.

Also, I really don't see why anyone would get upset at words...

[SUSAltd]

You'd be surprised.

Derp

I'm not talking about lyrics though. Pop lyrics pretty much suck, a lot.

and

the only good song ever written was the zoo by the scorpions. all other music is pretty much terrible.

I hate people who listen to pop because they're supporting people who essentially pss on music as a whole.

And since I can't do more than three quotes...

I really do know what you mean though. It's like how Justin Beiber is just terrible, and every record company he went to knew that. Then Usher helped him, so they then knew they could make money off of Beiber's crap. << Ambiguity

So let me get this straight RS, it's a-OK to say other stuff is crap, but once you touch anything metal, it's foul play?

Double Standard much?

[RedShadow]

Oh wow. Sorry bout that I guess, I hadn't read the thread since the part where we agreed no matter the genre, music that talked only about parties, booze and sex was stupid.
But anyway I don't see, where else in this thread have I said something else?

What? How can you "respect" that kind of music.
I'm not saying they are bad. I love the sounds of most 80's rock. I'm also not saying they aren't influential to other types of rock or metal.
But really, I see no reason to have respect for music that talks about sex, parties and alcohol (also, I'm not naming any band. I know there are loads of exceptions, etc. I'm just generalizing, lol stereotypes).
It's sh*t... but good sh*t.

Double standards? Naw bro.
--------------------------------------
Anyway, talking about "getting upset by words". Seriously, I mean, they are lyrics. They may have been upsetting, I don't know, when I was 8 years old. But, they are just, words. "GUTS; RAPING CHILDREN, BLOOD BLOOD!"
If you actually manage to picture every single detail of what they are describing in some sort of photorealistic way, then let me tell you. You are the creep.

That wasn't serious. Also, who said you can't touch anything metal?

You can mock them:

My post was a counter to this post by redshadow.

Garbage? Geez. I thought this wasn't a "bash another genre/band because You don't like it" thread.

[KenshinHimuraRK]

I know, but I couldn't miss the chance to post a picture of Manowar.

[vedicardi]

You'd be surprised.

you can't even understand the words when they're being "sung" unless you went out of you went out of your way to look up the lyrics
and they're just words. no one is actually getting raped or killed

[aander91]

We're not actually upset, I just find the imagery disturbing.

Also, if you can read lyrics and not visualize a setting and action, then you probably can't read the language that it's written in. Come on.

[vedicardi]

I'm not talking to you, Susa is implying he is upset
