Is My Music Pretentious?

--- Quote from: Johnny C on 10 Aug 2009, 10:46 ---is super funny because you're literally railing against people who are able to broaden their tastes, their ability to appreciate music and/or their ability to discuss that music beyond the accurate but super-reductive "if it sounds good, it is good"

This is absolutely untrue. Broadening taste is not equivalent to improving it. It is not a requirement that I be able to expound on the subtle flavours of shite bef0re saying thst I do not like eating turds.Also madassaex devoted a space longer than my post to expounding the merits of yngwie cuntshitting nunfucking arsedevouring malmsteen, so I now win forever.

It's lucky Johnny wasn't talking about improving taste in the first place. Not to mention that "improving" one's musical taste is an act so subjective as to be effectively meaningless anyway.
You don't have to know about music, or shit, to know you don't like it. But it helps if you want to explain why.

That was khar, in case anyone couldn't tell.

Broad taste is the closest thing one can have to "good taste", which is ridiculously subjective. Broad taste allows one to appreciate a large variety of musical elements and viewpoints, which is more important in my book than necessarily listening to the bands that are considered the best.

As opposed to you devoting exactly one sentence to an objective statement? Subjectivity cannot win a debate of this nature.
