Hahahahahahaha... I am absolutely laughing my butt crack off. Seriously, it is on the floor and the neighbors are complaining that I've been cackling really loud and I'm scaring their poor little mexican children. Here's what I'm laughing so hard about:
My honey showed me this post and I think it's great! This is why I don't subscribe to and get involved in on-line personal spaces and comment boards. Have fun!
Guy 1: (says some bad stuff about trance)
1. It sounds like a demo on a cheap synthesizer.
2. It lowers your IQ.
3. The form is so damn predictable.
4. Snare drums sound retarded when they play 16th notes, 32nd notes and 64th notes to create a build up.
5. The vocals have nothing important to say.
6. Glamour is for weenies.
7. The only reason why it's popular is because there is so much of it.
8. The reason there's so much of it is because it's a damn formula.
Actually, there's a reason for everything. The reason for trance music is to keep people stupid so they don't see the big picture.
Guy 2: ^Genius (Guy 1). I'd like to take this time to say that there's not a single genre of music out there that doesn't have a formula. Maybe broken beat, but I don't understand that music. Anytime you group something together as a whole, you have to be extremely general with your stereotypes, and you have to be pretty damn correct about it all. Every genre will have producers who try new things and set new trends and come up with something new, so for some trance, you're probably dead on. For most, however, which is what you're referring to when you just say "trance, " you're absolutely wrong and I'd welcome any proof you have to back up your statements. (This is all focused towards the topic starter, btw). And what's "the big picture, " techno?
Guy 3: You aren't even worth a well thought up response. But know this. You are the shit I walked on in high school you nerd, loser, piece of trash... : )
Guy 1: "You are the shit I walked on in high school you nerd, loser, piece of trash... :" You were a bully??? That's lame.
Guy 2: *sigh*......I'm with Kevin on this one. i-comebacks are absolutely pointless. What're we gonna be offended and fight?
Guy 4: After reading this. My mind totally changed. After listening to trance for a few years and reading some guy's "constructive criticism" I think i will switch my music preferences. Go To Hell. No one needs you here. You were obviously stuck on this planet to make others feel superior.
There is a ton more of this funny conversation, I just picked out the highlights. Here is the link, have fun and don't laugh too hard, sidesplits are no fun! enjoy!!!
