Is My Music Pretentious?

did you just try and make the claim that is possible for objectivity to have any relevance in a debate about musical taste?
i mean, i disagree with khar pretty strongly here but this is just silly
MadassAlex:
Clearly I am not, as I rejected that idea in the same post. I was commenting on Khar's method of debate, where he substitutes raw opinion where reason should be.
pinkpiche:
Imagine going to a party without any knowledge of human beings, social etiquette, basic local or global culture, clothes, music, literature, fashion or design... Would that be interesting? Yes (people would laugh and point fingers), but totally unoriginal and stupifyingly meaningless.
That is the same as saying music (art in general) should be untainted by outside impressions to be interesting/original/good/stimulating.
Learn what you can about what you like and then use it.

ok now i'm confused. subjectivity is the only thing that's relevant in a debate of this nature. it's personal preference, more or less.

I would just like to say (since I cannot talk about music but boy howdy can I talk about parties) that the least interesting people at any given party are the ones with the well refined opinions on these topics you list and the best people to have fun with are the ones that don't have carefully honed senses of etiquette
god what is with you music nerds and bad analogies
