Arguments/Slagging/Slating etc....

[fatcollective]

I have noticed that most arguments regarding music on this site generally start because somebody who is not actually into that certain style slag’s it and the person who is into that style defends it and so on…an argument has begun.....basically its like me going into the deep/experimental forum because I aint into that style of techno and saying "ohh that tune is shit, it bores the life out of me, surely this sort of music isn’t getting released, sounds like something from the 1980’s ..blah blah" I wouldn’t do this because I have no right to diss it because I don’t like it anyway!

My point is “why slag something/style of music that you’re not actually into yourself?”

I think it’s fair enough to give certain comments regarding the music your into…i.e. certain releases on labels you usually buy didn’t hit the spot for you!

This can also apply to the slagging of djs/artists etc…?

I wouldnt be too upset about it.....some people just like to create drama....

As far as 'slagging' other artists....maybe the ones doing it have had a personal experience with a particular artist that wasnt good-in that case, then maybe they have a right to say something......

Who knows.....who cares.......


Oh, and do you REALLY wear mascara? :lol:

[dan the acid man]

as long as that person does have an interest in that certain style of music i dont see the problem.

i also dont see the problem if its constructive, i.e, dont just say its shit.

say why you dont like that music, what you think its lacking etc.

Yeah, they all demand huge fees, have ridiculous riders, never show for gigs,
steal loops from liasons dangereuse, are taking techno backwards by years, can`t mix at all, smell like curdled milk, and are killing the scene.

and a bunch of other stuff too.

involving other shit that may be added at a later date, but is definitely true.

Henry can`t mix for toffee, and lives off of the mushrooms growing between his toes.
He also secretly is destroying the techno scene with a cunning use of waxed twine, pigs bladders, a philips heads screwdriver (slightly worn), and one of these

you have NO IDEA how much I begged my mom and dad for one of those when I was young. Never got one though. Tight bastards. :lol:

[eyes without a face]

i think people's idea of whats constitutes an "argument" is a bit left of centre on here at times, a couple of people giving opinions on a certain artist only to find a difference of opinion is not arguing, its just a debate.

i think if someone has supported said artist i.e paid for their records, watched their gigs etc then they have every right to give their truthful view when asked, regardless if this isnt going to fit into the norm and be all nice and sugar coated

[fatcollective]

i just thought, that people slaggin certain artists/styles etc when they dont even like that artist/style is a bit pointless and negative, jah get me ;)

[eyes without a face]

yeah but there's an assumption there that just because someone doesnt like the said artist now that they never liked em, which is often not the case, more and more are people becoming dissillusioned with djs and producers that they really used to like but have found the artist in question really hasnt tried to push themselves and is still knocking out the same stuff they were 5 years ago.. it's something that annoys me certainly, hence my posts in the Valentino thread

people shouldnt assume just because someone's being negative about something that they are not, or haven't been, a fan. It's just human nature to become disapointed with something you've enjoyed in the past which no longer does it for you, be it music, a sport, any pastime or hobby.
