Reason 991233442238 why "Punx" are morons[views:14457][posts:112]_________________________________________________ [May 26,2005 9:53am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] On BYOFL I found a kid that books crust, hardcore, Thrash, and the like. I told him my band was cerebral and sent him some links. He replied "I don't know what you heard, but I don't book bands that are 'cerebral'. Try www.popculturecoffeehouse.com" I can see he listened to even one song. Yeah! I love being drunxpunx |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:09am - RustedAngel ""] punks are fags. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:29am - Josh_Martin ""] If you only want to book thrash, why would you bother listening to a band that describes itself as cerebral? That just screams "coffee house faggot" which is why you got the response you did. I would hit delete sooooo fast if I got that. That kid probably gets links to horribly innappropriate bands all the time. If you want someone to listen to you, give them a reason. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:35am - dan. ""] hahahah thats actually a pretty funny response. im not even trying to be a dick by asking this, but are you describing your band as cerebral to say that your music is intelligent? i dont even understand what that means. cerebral-core? does your band play their instruments with their minds?

| ___________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:41am - litacore ""] hahahaha, play that Nile riff with my mind I can |
| ___________________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:50am - davefromthegrave ""] I assumed it meant that the name of your band was Cerebral |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:53am - Josh_Martin ""] soloman said:what does it mean to be a cerebral band? It means you are going to have gay fans. |

| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 11:54am - anonymous ""] yeah dude. youre the tool here, not the kid. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:48pm - anonymous ""] Just because a band is punk, hardcore, metal, or whatever doesn't mean the music has to be puerile rubbish with mentally-deficient lyrics I find it insulting that people think thrash, grind or crust has to be stupid. -N |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:52pm - dan. ""] as a rule, if someone needs to let someone else know that their music is intelligent, its probably not. no one even fucking implied that hardcore metal or whatever has to be "puerile rubbish". who the fuck said anything has to be stupid? jesus christ |
| __________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:56pm - soloman ""] i just curious what it means to be a cerebral band. Does this describe the sound? Or is it more of a theme sorta thing. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:58pm - dan. ""] i think its sort of like when a shitty band gets their cousin to play violin for them and decide to call themself epic. in that it probably could apply to a band, but not this one. but i cant wait for the explanation |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:00pm - Josh_Martin ""] I don't think Napalm Death was stupid. They also didn't go around telling everyone how not-stupid they were. Saying "look at us and how smart we are" is the most gayest annoying thing you can do. Just fucking PLAY and shut the fuck up. If you're trying to get a gig at a place that says right up front they only book thrash, describing yourself as some kind of Neurosis wannabe is not a good way to get booked. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:02pm - Josh_Martin ""] Waaahh, this kid who only books thrash and grind won't book my art-core band of super fags. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:03pm - Josh_Martin ""] btw I've never ever heard the band in question. I just saw an opportunity to type "most gayest" and "super fag" and I took it. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:06pm - anonymous ""] I'm at my friend's house laughing my ass off at how funny it is that some people don't know what the word cerebral means and are inventing definitions as they go along hahahahahahahha -N |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 1:10pm - dan. ""] you are a fucking idiot. the word "cerebral" means relating to the brain. please enlighten us as to what you think it mean, you fucking retard |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 1:15pm - dan. ""] and usually when someone describe something as 'cerebral' they are implying that its intellectual, which your band is definitely not. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:19pm - Josh_Martin ""] I don't care how thought provoking your lyrics are, if you're playing fucking grindcore, fucking SAY SO. Don't be gay and try and describe it as anything but what it really is. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:20pm - Josh_Martin ""] Case in point: Dead Kennedys had the best most "cerebral" ( I feel gay even typing that word now) lyrics ever yet they never refered to themseleves as anything but a punk band. Know why?? 'Cause they weren't a bunch of faggots. |

| __________________________________________ [May 26,2005 2:11pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Haha I wonder where this deep-seated hatred of "punx" comes from.... |

| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 2:17pm - swamplorddvm ""] RustedAngel said:punks are fags. Most "punks" I've met so far were actually really nice and decent people. I've noticed many "Metalheads" are arrogant snobs. But you'll run into ass-holes both "Metal heads" and "punks" in this world. |
| __________________________________________ [May 26,2005 2:18pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Are you familiar with the term "pseudo-intellectual"? |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 2:19pm - swamplorddvm ""] I'm too stupid to know what that means. |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 2:20pm - dan. ""] yes, i have your lyrics tattooed over my heart |

| __________________________________________ [May 26,2005 2:21pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Haha... Well that wasn't directed at you then obviously, DUMBASS!!! Anyway, yeah, Punx are a mixed bag, as well as Metalheads... Plenty of awesome people and plenty of retards in each group. |

| ____________________________________ [May 26,2005 3:29pm - anonymous ""] I think there's this huge misconception of things being the same... like Republicans all being white men, Blondes being dumb, or Punx being the same thing as Punks. Punx is a self-labelled thing kids do. It's a goofy, mocking way of being Punk and explaining punk. Punk culture has more to do with rejection of standardized values,systems, ideals, ethics, etc than about music or any of that shit. The music is a result of the ideology and not the other way around. That said, Punx use the music to fuel idiotic sentiments and behavior. True punks don't need to be fucking internet idiots and display minor forms of prejudice to be punk. Punx use punk as an excuse to do things lowbrow. You don't label someone as part of the punx, they do it to themselves and even get it tattooed. Also anyone who has said "just say you're a grind band" 1) belittles grind and 2) says that basically "cerebral" and "grind" don't fit together. The thing is we're not a "grind" band. We're just a band. We put sounds together. When we write, we're not like "time to write a new thrash punk anthem", we think about what we're getting and what we're putting into a song. That to me is a process based off of ideas, a process with a vision. It's not "Farts would be a good way of describing how George W makes me feel!!" and all power to people that write music like that, but that's not us. So no, I am not going to defend extreme music's right to play itself off as music to just get burnt out to and grow out of. Rather, I'm going to play in a band that can describe itself as cerebral in a way that is appropriate and not self-inflating. -Nicholas PS - "Cerebral" doesn't mean intellectual. Dan. must have been joking. It refers to the methods of the intellect, "using your head" would be a better definition. I hear the internet has many dictionaries if you care to look it up, sir. |

Blah blah blah, none of that changes the fact that you knew damn well what that kid was looking to book and you described yourself in a way that that made you seem the opposite of what he wanted. If you're looking to win an on-line arguement, fine, you win. If you're looking to get a show at that kid's venue, you lost, bigtime. The actual definition of a word isn't nearly as important as what its connotations are. Especially when describing music. |
| _________________________________ [May 26,2005 5:02pm - soloman ""] What did you mean when you described your band as cerebral? Is this some genre I dont know about? I'm just curious. |
| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 5:04pm - dan. ""] i like the part where i looked up the word in the dictionary and the definition was intellectual |
| __________________________________________ [May 26,2005 6:35pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Me too... To be honest, I'm pretty sure the Punx had a problem with toc before toc had a problem with them. |
