I need some New music and i'm up for anything

imagist42:
I love how this guy thinks he's got us all pegged as intellectual snobs who are too good for anything not completely original, or good for just having on.

No, see, my argument is about as simple as pinkpiche's.

pilsner:
Hold up a bit.  In a thread about new music, this guy mentions Rammstein.  This is a comic goldmine.  We should be more encouraging.

I wouldn't say intellectual snobs, just simply a different way of looking at music in general. While I'm sure everyone on here's listen to something not considered "original" that does seem to be the going trend on here. All I had to do was read through some of the other threads, and that proves it. List some of your favorite bands, and we'll see how many are considered mainstream, then we can discuss "intellectuall snobbisness." When you listen to music, as far as I can see, your looking for something with a certain level of orginality to it, thats fine, that's your tastes. I just look for high energy music, which is fine, it suits me.

Of course, your first reply to my post was probably not the best way to get me to think "wow, what a nice guy," and while I'm sure you don't care if I like you or not, do not expect me to respond in the nicest manner either. Most of the follow up posts by people have been in much the same vein as your's, except a pack of wolves, who gave reasons as to why he doesn't like my choices, and while I disagree, I'm not going after him for it, but to keep up a good arguement. pinkpiche's reply was at best short and stupid, thus not going to get my attention, had you not brought it up.

pilsner: from what I gathered, the thread starter wasn't looking for bands that were just starting, just new music to try. If you've never tried listening to Rammstein before, then it would be technically considered "new." That's what I'm trying to say. After this I doubt you'll here from me again, other than at 2 or so in the morning again, as that was the reason I came on the music section, but putting up with assholes isn't really worth my time.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that these are slip ups, but if not please learn to use them in the correct manner. Also if English is not your first language I apologize a little but still learn.

EDIT for imagist42, who seems to think I am being rude here: Helios, this is for your own good. This board has its fair share of people that will mock/be an ass to you for this type of thing.

a pack of wolves:
Picking up on those when imagist42 managed to confuse two and too is a little unfair I reckon. Those are common mistakes particularly by someone typing in a hurry but two and too?

Helios05, I don't think it's the level of originality in the music you recommended that resulted in some people ripping the piss. I think it's more that those bands bring nu-metal to mind (even if they might not technically fit into that genre), and if you go on any forum that's a bit music geeky and bring up bands like that then there will be mockery. Nu-metal is a hated thing, and let's be honest not without reason (the facial hair alone was enough of a crime). But don't let it bother you. I dearly love metalcore myself and you don't get a much more maligned genre than that. Just remember that it isn't really you that people are ripping on, it's just your taste in music and in the end that's not a terribly important thing. I used to hang around with an intelligent, articulate and all-around good guy who was a huge fan of ICP.
