Gryff:
"ARGUMENTS"

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid ---Good, I'm glad, but what does it have to do with the modern definition?

nothing. and that's my point. i refuse to acknowledge what is being played these days, as "r&b". even if the abbreviations are meant to mean different words nowadays.

Right. Well that's a little bit futile really.
sjbrot:
It's kinda like when a grandparent refuses to acknowledge that rap is actually music.
Sythe:
Support for Justin Timberlake on a heavily indie influenced messageboard.
GUYZ WE ARE ELITISTS, NOT POST-POST ELITISTS. WHERE IS YOUR CONTEMPT, PEOPLE?!

I think my comments
--- Quote ---(For reference, AFX claims to have no musical influences and CYHSY still (afaik) haven't admitted in any interview that the Talking Heads were an influence.)

were heavily misconstrued.
Just as note, I really respect Aphex Twin and CYHSY. But I know they're full of shit when they say they have no influences.
My point was ONLY that Timberlake (in an eternal quest to be taken seriously) went and named a bunch (seriously, a bunch) of respected and well known groups as "influences," in an attempt to make people think 'Wow! He relates to David Bowie! He must be a good pop star!'
You shouldn't have to rattle off a list of "influences" to make people appreciate your music and take you seriously as an artist. Instead just release a good fricken album and let people judge it for themselves (which is why I cited the other two bands).
