Unpopular Music Opinions

It took me a while to find it.

I always spell egalitarianism wrong

I have no idea why you're getting so hostile and weird about this, dude. Jesus Christ.

I feel bad for doing that, LV. Mickey used to make a lot of new friends around here with that posting style.

RM schtick is the worst.

Thanks, Tommy.

Suck a dick. If you bothered reading, you'd realize that nowhere in here did I say that music is objective. It is not subjective appreciation that I take issue with; it's the naive idea that all music is good music if it expresses emotion (and variations on that idea). There's no denying that there's a huge area of subjective appreciation in music, as in any form of art. But in any form of art, there are also objective standards, and if a song doesn't operate within these objective standards (creative use of line, creative use of metaphor, creative use of language, multiplicity of meaning, authenticity of voice), it's usually drivel.

I love you

OK yes but that series of posts will never not make me laugh. angry early-20s Mickey.

If I'd been around earlier today, I would have stopped Jordan from falling into that trap. And RM shtick is the worst. And those posts were great, Self.

Just because one person's opinions may be "better" (more informed, more articulate), it is still just that - an opinion. You cannot say there is anything objective about it.

You already said opinions can be wrong, somewhere. If someone has an opinion that all Muslims are terrorists, they're opinion is objectively wrong.

I think that's a misuse of the word opinion. That not all Muslims are terrorists is a quantifiable fact. You can't really have an opinion on facts.

I was joking. As Tommy said, opinions can only be wrong if we're talking about facts.

If you are Muslim, you should not only be allowed to listen to music but encouraged to listen to music.

What if you're not Muslim?

Hmmm, allowed but not encouraged?

Hmm. That's a puzzler.

Philosophers for hundreds if not thousands of years.

I can't wait to find out which Pearl Jam fans on this Star Wars message board side with Heidegger on the question of aesthetics and art criticism.

Yeah, that was a great backhanded take-down of everyone on the board, McP. Good job.
