music rocks baby.

That's an awfully good reason, Deftone. I find it rather quiet without music playing but when it's not playing I don't notice and/or think about it because I'm far too engrossed in my computer.

if computers didnt exist...music would be my only thrive

If computers didn't exist I'd die. Simple.

Music is just a part of my life and always has been. I have music playing all the time and I do enjoy all genres. Music makes the soul complete hehe

Are we talking about music or Linkin Park/Staind/Korn/50 Cent?

music can even be a beat done with 2 rocks so yes of course its music... only because you dont like a genre doesnt make it any worse then what you listen to.

music is whatever makes you unleash what you feel inside, the rythm that drives right to the bone, goes through you adn you get goosebumps from just hearing it. It is meaningful to you and it helps ya go through life day by day. For different people its different music.

That's what is humorous about mainstream music.

music doesnt control my life to that exten
but it does affect the clothes i wear...
the people who i hang out with
the tv shows i watch
oh my...it DOES control my life

so snocked, if I say Slipknot, Dimmy Borgir, System of a Down, and all kinds of metal, you'd say it's music? I love metal, and I don't understand how some people can say it's not music. If I took the dictionary, then you'd all find out that everything you hear on the radio, tv, etc. really IS music. Like actz pointed out, it's weird for someone to say that something is not music because they don't like it. I know that if my parents hear something like techno/house/trance/hardcore, they'd say it's not music. That really pisses me off. I don't say I love trance, but I recognize as music. When I whistle, it's music too. Actually, there are a lot of things that you can call music. Everything that has melody/rythm or a combination of both is music IMO

It seems to me that many people use music as a way to fit in. Oh, everyone's listening to this and since it's the "in" thing, I'll listen to it too. It's the complete opposite with me.

but if you dont listen to things just because everyone else is or listen to things everyone else isnt... how is that different? you're allowing the norm to control what you listen to. Listen to what you like, music is music bad or not.

I'd much rather be different than normal but that's just me.

I'm not saying it isn't music because I don't like it. Technically it is music, but the lowest form of music. It's made to sell directly to teens because it's easily disposable. All popular music is.

well once again that's just your opinion but your just lucky your music isnt popular if not you may have to stop listening to it.

I dont know I listen to everything and can enjoy it all for what it is but for the past year i've been only listening to stuff that isnt well known or on TV and i'm loving it. Its hard to find the CD's in the record stores but they are always available to purchase online.

When I die I'm dead, unconscious, oblivious to everyone and everything... and this may be the way I'd rather have it, although this isn't a thread about god.

Is classical popular anymore... NO! It looks like I'm safe then.

You name the music and I listen to it.... except for metal... and rap...

lol. Music is where your heart lies. This post was not made to discuss how to you feel you need to throw down other people's music. it is to come in touch with the definition of music and as such how it pertains to enhancing your everyday life.

look snock everone likes a different kind of music. Accept the facts. What u call trash maybe another man's treasure. Its the way of the world. Live with it. Sure, maybe its hip bcuz some people force themselves to like it, but maybe some people really do. think about it

Are you trying to flame, or just act cool?

Simple and uncreative? I hate to say it, but your OWN thoughts reflect upon that nonetheless. I guess I can say that your post was pointless and not needed.

Look at yourself before calling others hypocrites. I cannot believe that you would cut down a member so badly.

You're really putting yourself in a bad position. The fault is your own, and the fall is your own.



But, this isn't the topic. Sorry to stray off like that.

flame flame flame lets not start that we can discuss his point of view without it turning the into a war hehe can't we? I respect it but dissagree of course.

The way you put it just doesnt make sense. Its not even really an opinion all your saying is that anything produced for teens is horrible. Well i'm sure many teen's listen to your music and you probably did as well just not in the masses I also want to say that many of those artist did not just decide to have music that appeals to the teens but thats more of a culture move/change that has made certain music popular nothing else.

Your obviously not fully aware of 50 Cent history for example, your last line only proves that you are a bit close minded when it comes to music and peoples opinions.

Anyways back to music as you can see people feel pretty strong about what they like and dont like. I feel fortunate that i can appreciate it in all forms from classical to techno. Doesnt mean i have either in my ipod hehehe

I like what I like, they never play what I like on the radio heheheh although sometimes I wish they would.... Metal rules !!! (heavy metal not that hair band crap where they sing like some one has their nuts in a vice grip....) Anyway they used to play some of the stuff I like on the radio at midnight here on a show call The Pit hehehe awsome stuff I also enjoy classical too and one or two rap songs.

I enjoy crazy blues and Dixie land... with nonesensical lyrics.

ok, steering myself back on topic i like linkin park, ozzy osbourne, backstreet boys (i hear they're working on a new album) and eminem. Rap, pop and metal. not a big fan of techno or classical

BET is where its at!
no but seriously this topic can go on forever

that comment was really not necessary. Please you guys, I made the topic not to discuss the different genres of music and which you consider as such, it was created to express your opinions on the subject of whether music is important to you or not and how it makes you feel. Sorry if it did not appear so clear before, but I would like that to be discussed if anything at all. Otherwise I'll just close the thread down coz I think my point was either taken care of or not paid attention to.
