Question for post-rockers

damn. I actually did not even consider this. Probably because I never talk about music in meat life with anyone because I don't know many people that like the same music as me.

While those genres are awesome, you use Limewire?

If you're trying to describe to them what a band sounds like, it is probably to convince them to listen to the band, or because they asked if a band was worth listening to. Like the inumerable recommendation threads in here - people don't seem to want to just listen to music for themselves, which I find strange, because discovering new music unexpectedly is so exciting.

Actually, I said 'decide what', meaning that genre names aren't meant to decide like and dislike.

Nice avatar...
Yeah, on the rare occasion I decide to download a song; I usually buy the music.

i know the porn groove one comes from... if you use the audio program Audacity (as many people do, as it's free), you can choose to edit the file info before you bounce something to mp3 (i.e. the track name, artist, album, track number, genre etc.). however, where most are the fill-in boxes, genre gives a drop menu, and there's some ridiculous shit on there, "porn groove" being a good example. i submitted my last piece of composition coursework (a kinda electronic-y post-rock kinda thing) with the genre set to "christian gangsta rap" just for giggles.
