Negative opinions on bands
soap:
i'd say its fine to have and express negative opinions ... constructive ones though not like the kind that most people on blabbermouth seem to express (eg they're gay fags shittyy shitt shit etc).
but i don't think hijacking a "i really like *insertband*" thread with piles of hate is a bit much... i mean i really don't like bands like oasis or counting crows, but il try to let people like them if they want (although when i was younger i would probably write louds of crap about them and argue til my fingers hurt from typing or something similar).

I think it's because every conversation involving sp2 becomes one about Interpol.
IronOxide:
Congratulations people! This is the thread with the single most long messages ever!
That being said, peoples opinions are their opinions. I strongly dislike metal in general, but I have to realise and respect the people who do. The most terrible mistakes that people can make in the musical critisism area is either 1.Personally attacking people who listen to such music. or 2. Taking objective critisism as a personal attack.
My Aim Is True:
I'm going to side with sp2.
people saying things like-
--- Quote ---Music means different things to different people. "I'm not a fan of this music" goes down a whole lot smoother than "This music is crap". It's not hard, why drag it out into this big convoluted disscussion?
--- End quote ---
is just a really ridiciulous pansy-waisted approach to it. Having a big convoluted discsussion is what we SHOULD be going for, and sometimes that only stems from saying something is crap. If you say something is crap, then you have to explain why, and that is interesting. If you just say you're not a fan, then we have to wonder why you opened your mouth in the first place.

While I can see where you're coming from, this is demonstrably not true, especially on the Internet. Some (too many) people are perfectly happy with just saying "UR BAND SUX," sometimes over and over again. I agree that people shouldn't pussy-foot around if they genuinely dislike something, but being blunt and being interesting are not the same thing.
