forkboy84 posted:I'm not going to buy that "thinking Imagine Dragons is bad" is an outlier position. It doesn't make sense to hate music anymore. Back in the day, if something you hated became popular, record labels would stop signing bands you liked and start chasing that trend, so if you didn't like Nu Metal or Rap Rock in the late 90s, you were hosed. There was only so much airtime on MTV. There was only so much shelf space at the Tower Records. There was only so much radio play. So while having a visceral hatred of a genre or band was still kinda' stupid, there was at least a case to be made for why. Now? Nobody's making you listen to poo poo. You can listen to whatever you want. Bands don't need to be signed to be heard. There's no good reason to hate a band. Just don't listen to them if you don't enjoy them and stop being a loving child about it.

I don’t hate Imagine Dragons. Hating and “diminishing returns” are two different things. Like Portugal The Man

Genuinely I can't ever remember hearing an Imagine Dragons song. I have probably heard several of their songs, but I have never associated them with that name.

You can say exactly the same thing about wrestling. Having opinions and discussing them with other people with opinions is fun. And to be clear, I wasn't in anyway saying "you should hate Imagine Dragons". I just disagreed with the notion that not liking them is an outlier position because as you noted, they are in that bracket with Nickelback of "default opinion is to dislike them". As for "no one is making yourself listen to poo poo", I assure you that people working in retail still suffer from radio being on in store. Worked in offices that like having the radio on too. When you feel passionately about any artform your probably going to have some strong negative opinions in there along with strong positive opinions.

Imagine Dragons is less 'bad' (they can actually be pretty decent) and more 'overexposed mediocrity masquerading as greatness'. Like Nickelback before them.

Imagine Dragons is "why rock is basically dead" in band form, this incredibly flat sound with songs that exist to be used in commercials and movie trailers.

There are no good reasons to hate music you don't like now. There are only good reasons to dislike things that don't ring your bell.

WSAENOTSOCK posted:You absolutely can't, because wrestling is far more finite than music. There are only two North American companies of note right now. It's 2019. Professional wrestling of every flavour from every continent is available at the click of a mouse button. And frankly it's a lot easier to avoid WWE than it is to avoid radio bands in a lot of lines of work. Why limit yourself to just American wrestling? A whole world of wonderful varied fake fighting is not really any more difficult to find than using Bandcamp or Spotify or what have you. CMLL for classic lucha libre (several shows a week on YouTube), death matches, technical grapplefuck, crazy headdrop mania matches, and it's never been easier to view old stuff. There are so many great tastes when it comes to wrestling if you just scratch the surface. Another thing comparable with music.

Also, I work in film a bit, but the way I've been paying my bills since 2003 is DJing, KJing, and being a master of ceremonies. This doesn't make your opinion on what music you like more important than mine, but it does mean I get to speak to how loving stupid it is to hate things and people and bands needlessly with some degree of authority. Which is very. It's very stupid. Let people like things.

WSAENOTSOCK posted:Not at all. I'm saying gatekeeping people's taste? Super bad. Stop it. "Gatekeeping" is stuff like "I am a DJ so I know that it's stupid to hate bands" not "I think those guys are overplayed so I don't like them" And of course "let people like things" is just a way to make anyone who doesn't like what you like some kind of fun police, which is also gatekeeping

Saying "this band does not vibe with me at all" (which is what I mean when I say I hate a band, it's a common short hand phrase) is not gatekeeping. It's stating an opinion. I love music. I am insanely passionate about the poo poo I love and could talk your ears off for hours about my latest obsession. On the flipside, I have a visceral reaction towards the music I do not like. I really really do not have the patience for hearing stuff I don't like. It's not a reflection on the artist themselves, I do not have any malice towards Chad Kroeger when I say I'd rather drink a gallon of bleach than listen to his band ever again. It's just hyperbole to get across the point that I have a very strong negative reaction while listening to Nickelback. Nor does it attempt to invalidate someone else who happens to like Nickelback. It's my opinion. My experience with their songs. Me talking about them isn't attempting to invalidate your opinion, even if I'm using strong language. Like what you like, in wrestling, music, film, paintings, video games, literature. Talking about your likes and dislikes with art isn't gatekeeping, it's sharing your opinions of something you care deeply about. This is the opposite of gatekeeping! forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Dec 9, 2019 |

I know every word to every Sublime song. I cannot stand them. It’s not their fault. If I go to a Karaoke bar and someone decides they wanna practice Santeria, I practice going outside and not listening to it. I say this as someone who did 3 years of UPS Store Christmas rushes listening to motherfucking Christmas Shoes (which legitimately sucks no matter how many times you listen to it). Diminishing Returns aren’t the artist’s fault. I’m still trying to figure out how to tolerate Aerosmith again after Armageddon. Wrestling-wise: I could really use a break from foreign object spots. That’s all opinion, and I accept that. Heh

"let people like things" is such a lame response to criticism. edit: gently caress i sat on the post for too long ok, wrestling question: what's your favorite gimmick match nobody else likes or no major company does anymore mine's probably that ridiculous scramble match they made mike adamle announce in 2008 which resulted in Brian Kendrick being WWE champion for like 2 minutes and had chris jericho win the big gold belt after getting the poo poo kicked out of him by HBK earlier TriffTshngo fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Dec 9, 2019 |
