Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cute. I've riled up the "goth".

Seriously dude, Calling something "gay" is pathetic. You're acting like a chav, which I find is something most "goths"/metalheads do.

And, yeah, "********" is pretty dumb, but it made me laugh.

Seriously though, Do you even realise how childish you look when you call something "gay"? Kids do that because they don't know better. Chavs do that because they're morons. Anyone over the age of 15 should have been educated enough to know that calling something "gay" makes you look like, for lack of a better cultural stereotype, a redneck.

And, who cares if something isn't "KVLT" or underground? As long as you like it, who care? I'm sat here with the Reanimation version of Linkin Park's Crawling on, and I think it's pretty good. After this, Who knows.

Oh, there we go, Crash Pow by the Mad Capsule Markets.

I mean, at the end of the day music is subjective. You've listed in first post that you're listening to metal in it's "most extreme and pure form", yet you've got Nightwish there. I hardly consider that to be metal in any "extreme and pure form".

But, as Pancake said "Hey though, if you like them, that's cool." Which, in my opinion, should have stopped this argument before it ever started. You, however, decided to escalate it into something pathetic.



Back to the point in hand though, Stop calling things gay. One day you'll offend someone with it, and they'll kick seven shades of s**t out of you.


Through the course of this post I have listened to:
KRWLNG - Linkin Park (Reanimation version of Crawling)
Crash Pow - The Mad Capsule Markets
I'm Alive - Blind Guardian

Totally understood, Sanzo~

Sorry, I get a bit carried away when it comes to music.

@Bass - It's understood why you could get riled up by discussion about music, especially with someone like... Well, THAT. Music is a very important or influential thing on many people. Now, I don't mean that in a way like, if you listen to rap you're going to go do drugs and shoot people, but I mean... Well, if you're stressed and listen to a relaxing song, it's has a calming sensation about it. Music is also a great way to get pumped up, to pass time, to relax to, and many other things. It's a shame how some people could be so uneducated about music... People just have to learn I guess, that there's more to a song than just a person flailing madly on the strings of a guitar. The music, as a whole, is the harmony between the instruments, between the members of the bands. The instrumental part of the song can't just be good, because there also has to be depth and meaning to the songs they are singing. Masterful work of the instruments can only get you so far if the band doesn't have a singer capable of conveying the message of the song, or painting an avid picture and telling the story of what he / she is singing about.

To many people, I would suggest that they go listen to some Symphony X. "The Divine Wings of Tragedy", "The Odyssey", or "The Accolade" All three of those songs, or any other song by Symphony X embodies exactly what I was speaking of before. Masterful work of the instruments, perfect harmonization between band members and between instruments, and well thought out vocals with a capable singer capable of painting the picture and story into your mind or conveying the songs meaning through his singing, to the audience.

Hell, music doesn't always NEED instruments either. The voice is an amazing instrument in itself capable of doing just as many things as instruments are. A perfect example of this is Rockapella Nothing but A Cappella music. Though there's no instruments, it's still amazingly done, and definitely deserves a listen.

I love and hate those kind of songs, umi.
