Tolerance
« on: 09 Nov 2007, 16:33 »

I was one of the lucky few, honest to god, who had never heard Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. I heard it today when my little brother decided he'd listen to his mp3 player through the soundsystem at home not knowing what it was then that I exclaimed whilst cringing in agony "What the hell is this! Turn it off! It is giving me a headache." My parents then quickly reprimanded me and told me that i need show tolerance towards others' tastes. I know everyone has differnet music tastes and we should respect that. Has anyone had similar experience?

My shrink says I need to show more tolerance towards people who don't make use of punctuation and the Return key.

Fuck him.

Asking someone to listen to their music privately is not being intolerant. Blasting any music through a stereo without the explicit permission of everyone around, however, is.

SexyBack is a good song. I would rather listen to it on repeat than ABBA.

For the record, I have not once in my life thought that I have great taste in music. Sometimes I'll go as far as good, but never great.

There's a difference between being tolerant (to me, respecting the fact that people have different tastes) and having to actually listen to that other stuff. I mean, there's stuff that I can't stand (Bon Jovi and George Thorogood) and will end up freaking out if I have to listen to either for any extended amount of time.

I don't know anything about Justin Timberlake or Abba, but I remember somebody pointing out that if you GIS Justin Timberlake, he looks remarkably like a penis.

I should learn some stuff about Abba, I figure my ignorance is why Emilio keeps deleting all my post and posting poop through my letterbox. He doesn't even wrap it up, it's like he smears as much as he can around the letterbox and then pushes the rest through as far as he can.

I think if Sexy Back gives you a headache then you might want to invest in a really good pair of earmuffs. It's seriously one of the plainest tracks I've heard in a long time. Considering that you probably wouldn't have noticed it if you weren't out to hate it I have to conclude that maybe you were being a bit of a prick?

I think that timber lake sucks as much as the next guy and i hate ABBA , but I mean does any one else want to go on a testicle smashing spree every time they hear Soulja Boy because i sure do. I think that that song is worse, i mean what is there  like 20 words in the song and just one repeating beat i mean at least ABBA put some thought into their crap.

 By the way tolerace is for people who care about being called an asshole and a d-bag the question is how much do you care?

Apparently Soulja Boy is so hated that not even the hip hop community likes him.

But let's reserve the ball smashing for those who insist to do his retarded little dance.

This is the poorest post I've seen on these forums in a while. Nobody is interested in hearing you shit all over an artist you personally dislike. Put some thought into your posts, and learn to express your opinion in a respectful, insightful manner before embarking on an inane dumbass crusade.

Soulja Boy is just lazy rap, its a slow beat with repeating lyrics that has a dance. Not much different than the Macarana, only its made for a different time. I've not heard Timberlake's song, I don't much listen to hip hop because I'm stuck in the "ska is cool, I love ska phase"

Generally, I tell a person if I don't like their taste in music, and if they don't like mine, we don't listen to each others music. There is only a few times that you have to be tolerant of other people's music, in their car, or their home, if they own it. I would imagine your younger brother doesn't own your home, so, I would say no, you don't have to be tolerant. You should put on something that he doesn't like, and then, when he gets all up in you for it, see what your parents do, or tell him "Just be more tolerant"

Then again, I'm sort of a jerk, and I'd do that kind of thing.

Okay, to drag it kicking and screaming to the topic, the cardinal rule of playing music through anything other than headphones is to make sure you are either a) alone, or b) doing so with the express permission of at least one other person in the room. If you're at a party and you want to hear a particular record, ask the host nicely. If you're at home, the bare minimum you can do is to say, "Hey, I'm going to be playing this record in a minute," and if they want you to keep it down respect that.

You live in a world populated with other people and it's in everyone's best interests to be considerate.

Yeah, it's an entertaining song to dance to.  I actually don't mind it as much as the rest of the genre, because it's just wrong.  Also, he's not really objectifying women or solidifying black or other minority or "gangster" stereotypes.  But it is about sex.

On topic: I often forget to be tolerant of other people's music.  People tend to take it personally, or take me too seriously when I openly express my distaste for the music they listen to.  I do the same thing more than half the time too.  So, I guess, you can sugarcoat it to other people, or you can be as harsh as you like and let them get all indignant.

I yelled at my sister when she told me she didn't like The Smiths. Then my mom got mad at me. And I also used to make endless fun of my friends who listen to Fall Out Boy and they would get pissed.

I've gotten a lot better since then though. I realize its pretty immature to pick on other people's taste in music. Its not going to change by you bitching about it, so just let everyone like what they like. You don't have to listen to it.
