Coheed and Cambria Appreciation[views:9219][posts:69]__________________________________ [Sep 30,2009 4:15pm - archaeon ""] According to this thread I never liked metal. :( This whole pop-punk/emo or whatever (C&C is NOT pop-punk btw) thing just kind of makes me laugh. Who the fuck is anyone to say what is defined as quality music? Each person has their own definition of what music they enjoy for different reasons. I don't listen to pop-punk because the lyrics reach me, I listen to it because it's fun and has a lot of energy. That's not something that aril values in music, that's fine but it doesn't make it any less valuable. I don't like the majority of black metal but does that mean I don't see the merit or value that it has? No, I understand why one enjoys black metal and respect it. People need to stop being so bitter and should realize that not all music is made for them. It's not bad, it just doesn't appeal to them. To quote my high school music teacher, "there is music I like and then there is music I don't understand." |

I personally don't like that poppunk/emo/sceneshit; but that doesn't mean I don't see why people like it. It's all opinion in the end; however from and aesthetic viewpoint, pop punk does not display any emotion other than something that of which people of your generation or teenagers understand. That's the TARGET AUDIENCE, and it has successfully captured it. That's why I think it's funny. One of my good friends who enjoyed blackmetal more than most I know went on to play in pop punk band because he knew it was a joke and attracted chicks. he appreciates most music like myself, but never disbanded his love for metal or other "genres" of which he liked. Some of you may know who i'm talking about - I wouldn't want to drop names on this silly thread though. |

| _______________________________ [Sep 30,2009 4:50pm - aril ""] nah, real punk is where it's at. when pop punk started getting popular, (LOL, on a side note, anyone remember the local punk punk band FAKE ID?) I just laughed and thouhgt it was a joke, which I still think it is. I grew up listening to classic rock, metal, grunge and old school hip hop. I'm not going to deny the fact that I like 80s/early 90s hip hop or Nirvana's Bleach and stuff when that came out - nothing to be ashamed about. Pop punk isn't just for me - like I said, I think 90% of people that really felt attached to it were young adolescents that were just-learning-about-the opposite-sex-and-cried every-night-because their-girlfriend-or boyfriend-of-3-days broke-up-with-them-so-they-gotta-go-listen-or write-a-song-about-it-and-then-cry-some-more-but-write-love-notes-tomorrow-because-they're-oh-so-miserable-and-constantly-need-attention type people. thrash/hardcore/oldschoolpunk/crust/crossover>pop punk |

| _______________________________ [Sep 30,2009 5:08pm - aril ""] Oh. Classical music too. That's a must. I'm also busting your chops really. Listen to whatever the fuck you want. I just think it's funny that all you guys are making threads about bands like this on a metal board! |
