Is My Music Pretentious?

this isn't remotely true
e: at a stretch i guess fashion can be kinda boring to talk about
Hat:
Johnny don't take this the wrong way but nobody has ever jumped a motorbike over anything on fire at any of the parties you go to, have they?
Hat:
What I am saying is that maybe it is possible to find those kinds of parties interesting if you are also the kind of person who would engage in an entirely arbitrary debate on music theory on the internet
Windyo:
That's a bad analogy if I ever saw one. At a party those who have a high sense of etiquette stay with those of high etiquette, but that's just human behavior.
If you're talking about music, most people (except fanboys but those exist in any culture) aren't uptight about music in general. Sure they may not like another type of music but mostly musicians respect and exchange with other musicians. And that has nothing to do with the original argument...
The real point is that in music, "rules" are no rules. They are a guideline to how previous music has been made, what works, etc. And once you know what has been made, you can try to do something else, while retaining musicality. Hence the fact that Music Theory is also interesting if you want to think outside of the box.
