missed.point.completely.

While it is not a fan forum for our favorites, the threads represent them instead. What is the point of going into any artist appreciation/news thread...say Tori Amos...and simply replying with :vomit: What does that say? What does that add to the discussion? Honestly if the thread is for an artist going into said thread simply to diss them is stupid and immature and negative.

For instance someone started a thread regarding trance music and wondered what others thought or maybe they were looking to explore the genre further. SOmeone came in and posted "Trance music is for Drug Addict Ravers" or some BS like that. No commentary on what Trance was about or who they liked or anything worth a brain synapse. THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!!

Or many of the Mike Mantronik Threads that actually give useful information on a MIRIAD of artists up and coming projects. Most of those get trashed too. I'm just saying negativity begets negativity and if you were to put all of the negativity on this forum into little bottles, you'd have a lifetime supply of it.

superspaceboy said:

So you're saying criticism with an actual point is OK? Cool then cuz I always have a reason why I hate someone when I say I hate them

Well the way I look at it is that NO ONE is above or immune to criticism, not even the man himself who this site is dedicated to. However, I do not get posters who continuously bash the same artists time and time again. What exactly are they getting out of it? The only person whose artists bashing posts I truly enjoy are Vainandy's. He's actually funny without being downright nasty and mean spiritied like some people on here and deep down I believe he is a big Whitney fan .

Like I said though I do believe criticism is fine and it's healthy because if everyone always agreed that would be boring as hell, but at the same time I'm not gonna constantly trash an artist I don't like. I think that says more about me than it does about them that you hate or dislike an artist so much yet you can't stop talking or posting about them? Where's the logic in that? I'd just much rather talk about music or artists that I do enjoy rather than those that I don't.

Criticism is fine. But the same old tired rehashes of how much an artist stinks and always have and they can't see what others do blah blah blah..I have no interest in reading that. Been there,, read that, no new points Moving on.

Actually, no, I didn't miss the point. I was talking about a completely different point. There's more than one discussion going on in this thread.

VoicesCarry said:

And what was your point?

superspaceboy said:

That it cuts both ways. Excessively negative and excessively positive are equally corrosive.

i think i had an orgasm reading this thread.

sosgemini said:

I'm just tired of seeing peeps who post on this thread vanish due to the negativity. It was bound to happen as Moo Moo, Janet and Madge all dropped their albums this year. Thank God we didn't get an MJ album during all of this. ***knocks on wood***

If you don't like an artist, flaunt it. If that artist is not capable of entertaining me with their music, then it is up to me to entertain myself by shitting on the artist. That way, the underserving artist has earned the right to call themselves an entertainer and has actually been entertaining in some sort of way.

Yep. I loved her on "Being Bobby Brown". I tuned in to see how horrible she looked, not Bobby. I even incorporated her famous phrase "hell to the naw" in my own speech.

Luckily we were warned about you

vainandy said:

entertainment at others expense though is childish and petty...and the broken record rhetoric can get old fast...

MAn, I LOVE IT

This is what I love the most about Prince.org

And so far the artist I love to bash the most is Prince... Not because of Prince (I respect the man), but because of his fans, I just hate them...

They are the most arrogant fans ever...

They think they know everything about music and talk like if Prince is better than Jimi, Stevie, Sly, James Brown, Little Richard all combined, and how music didn't exist before Prince, and how Prince never borrows from other artists

So I love to confront them and how they have such a hard time to argue with me because I know so much more ...

Hey, no one's perfect.



It's meant to get old. That way, it matches the waltz tempo going around.

krayzie said:

I really don't get that around here. This site is mostly for has been fans It's also the reason I don't go into P-Music and More all that much. Most of the regulars stay away from that forum.

krayzie said:

so, your publicly acknowledging you like to bait prince fans, huh?

vainandy said:

So you feel justified in shitting on other peoples personal taste, huh? does that make you a better person or something? do you need to feel superior to compensate? let's get to the root why you think its okay to be as jerk.

Have I ever anywhere on this board told anyone that they were an idiot for listening to what they listen to? No. I simply state what I like or don't like. If they have a different taste than me, then they just do.

OK, I think this is a pretty good example:

http://prince.org/msg/8/250771

Someone came in and called one of my most beloved musical pleasures a transexual!!!! I at least drew them out and got them to expound instead of freaking out because someone was hatin on my CeCe

man, i could fertilize my spring garden with some of the stuff i'm reading on this thread.
