Negative opinions on bands
Inlander:
The point is whether or not the negative comment in question is contributing anything to the thread. There are some people who, whenever a certain band is mentioned, will post a comment with no intention other than to say "That band sucks." We know that's what you think. We heard you the first time, and the second time, and the third, and the fourth . . . ad nauseum. If all you have to contribute is that the band sucks, and not why it sucks, and if you insist on making that comment every single time the band is mentioned, then please just shut up.
If, on the other hand, you feel like making a post explaining that in your opinion the lyrics of said band are banal, or the intruments are played ineptly, or the song-structure is cliched, and if those comments are something new that none of us have heard from you before, then by all means, post and be a constructive member of the forum.

Let's just all agree to disagree.
No, really.

That is for when things get out of hand and must have an end and I've seen it work here. It was amazing.

I thing a big problem of negative comments is that most of the time they aren't about the quality of the music but more about the politics of the band: "They are posers, they sold out, they are just apealing to whinny 13 year olds to sell records".
Music is such a personal thing and means differnt things to differnt people. Just because I can't see the point of Gansta Rap or the what's the big deal about being 'Straight out of Compton' doesn't mean it might actually be very important to someone else. Judging someones values compared to your own makes you a pretty big douche bag.

I don't think it should be disallowed to say if you don't like a band, it annoys me when someone starts a discussion along the lines of "what do you think of (band x)?" and then gets all uppity when not everyone worships the ground they walk on. On the other hand there's no point claiming that the band are bad because you don't like them, or personally attacking fans. Unless most of the fans are jackasses, I guess.
Respecting people's right to dislike bands you like is just as important as respecting people right to listen to bands you don't like, I guess, so it annoys me when people get all hypocritical and tell people to shut up unless they have something nice to say.
