Hope I don't get banned for this...
I have a confession to make. This may put me at odds with the majority of people on this forum, but here it is:
I don't like indie rock.
Yes, I said it. To me, "rock" (as general and meaningless the term is now) should be something you can throw up the devil horns/air guitar to, and most of the indie rock I've heard does not fit that description.
This is merely my opinion; feel free to post yours.

My opinion is that no one gives a shit about what you listen to or not.
But, y'know, that's just my opinion, man.
-
that's cool
-
This is merely my opinion
NO. WAY.
-
Please, Joker, tell us you're being facetious.
C'mon buddy.
-
Post Rock.
Duh.
-
I keep meaning to listen to more post rock, actually. I have listen to a few songs, but I don't really know where to start. It just seems that I have a lot of upbeat electro-y stuff, so I don't have any more down tempo music for if I want to have it in the background.
-
Oh man, hon. I will play you so much post-rock when you are here next. This is a threat. It will happen.
-
Guys, I don't like scallops all that much. Unless they're in the right sauce or something.
Just wanted to get that out there.

Does anyone know a good recipe to make my salmon taste less 'fishy'? Cause I really don't like fishy fish, just so you know.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.

I once ritual sacrificed a virgin maiden to The Horned One while the breezy melodies of Britt Daniels quelled her screams.
I think that is pretty rocking to be completely honest with you.

Might have had more to do with blood loss than Britt Daniels.

C'mon, guys, don't you know that confession is good for the soul? I mean, here we got this dude (or dudette, sorry if I implied that you have a set of genitals that are the opposite of the genitals you actually do posess (and by posess, I mean they are actually physically attached to the rest of your body, not like...you OWN them, because really nobody can OWN genitals (unless you mean OWN in a metaphorical sense; i.e. "I am dating this person and maintain exclusivity rights to all procreative functions of their genitals" - but doesn't that sound kind of outdated and just sort of...fascist for this day and age?))) pouring out their gender-nonspecific soul about how they
*PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC SHUDDER*
don't like indie-rock
and all we can do is make a joke out of the thread?
For shame, QC...for shame...

I don't like indie cock.
Yes, I said it. To me, "cock" (as general and meaningless the term is now) should be something you can throw up the devil horns/air guitar to, and most of the indie cock I've seen/tasted/felt inside me does not fit that description.
This is merely my opinion; feel free to post yours.

I really hope you didn't truly expect to be taken seriously, because we clearly don't give a shit what you think of indie rock.
-
Well, if you really didn't give a shit, you wouldn't have even posted, but...well, who gives a shit what I think, right?
I'm surprised that anyone defended me at all. Thanks Will.
Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case never mind.
-
i have some opinions as well. sometimes i share them with the internets.
-
but i don't start threads about it.

Eh, I was mostly being sarcastic - what I hoped would be evidenced by all that blathering bullshit about genitals - but really, don't take it personally.
What tends to happen around here a lot: Someone posts a thread about a topic that many of us consider either pointless or redundant. Some of the regulars then decide to shit all over the original poster, while some of us oldsters just try to run with the most ludicrous nonsense we can in order to derail the thread into something we may be amused by.
Seriously, the whole "they'll ban me for saying I don't like indie rock" argument is absurd. Well over half the regulars here aren't fans at all. I think most of the bands that get jocked on this board are unlistenable rubbish, and I've said as much openly. Nonetheless, a lot of these guys are some of my best friends on the internet.
Jeph, the dude who created the comic and subsequent forum that accompanies it, is a fan of indie rock. It gets talked about a lot. This community has existed for a long time, and if a penny were to be deposited into an account for Jeph, one for everytime the subject of indi rock were discussed since this forum started, he could afford to give away his merch for free and still be independently wealthy. No offense to you personally, we're just tired of the same old thing.

It's not that no one cares about your opinions so much as you act as though we're all really sensitive and defensive about indie rock, and since you've been here since January I can't really fathom how it is you think this. Also it is not really a good idea for a thread.
-
Also, it's absolutely hilarious given that your taste in music is seriously fucking appalling.
-
Thinking back, you're all right, this wasn't worth a whole thread.
I was tired, I guess.
I'm moving away soon, so I probably won't be on here for a while; maybe not at all.
-
You know, all the time we're getting folks coming in here thinking we're the indie-rock mafia or something, and then all the old folks spend all their time complaining that we're not, and then everyone forgets about it, and then it all happens again.
I've got an idea.
EDIT: There, hopefully that will clear things up in the future.
