stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

[xiane]

So after watching people battle it out over music all week, I've decided to enact a New and Official Labeling System for all music. You may henceforth stop using tired labels such as
"goth"
"hipster"
"post-punk"
"klezmer"
and implement my simple system for sorting all bands and tunes.

The labels?

Music That I Think Sucks
and
Music That I Think Rocks.

See how simple that is? Stops all arguing, gives all responsibility to me for determining what you should and should not be listening to at any given time.



I see a problem, I solve a problem. You may all thank me by purchasing large amounts of Music That I Think Rocks.

*curtsey*

edit - forgot to mention that you can thank 155metrocard for getting ol' Morrissey stuck in my head all day. ;)

what the hell is hipster?? and klemzer??

and i'm with you. besides, i'm horrible at labeling music right. :P so i jsut say "if i like it, i like it, who the hell cares what genre or label it carries?" :)

Thank you.

I thought you might enjoy this. Hey, this takes all the pressure off music - NOW what are we all going to argue about?


Crap. ;)

Does this mean that Gary Numan is no longer a genre (coldwave)?

I pretty much have "music."

That's my categorisation system. "Music" and "spoken" and "nature stuff that's neither but purports to be whales."

like that.

Big mouth strikes again!

Hehe!

And thanks for getting the Smiths stuck in my head now!

Been meaning to say this, but your hair is looking right spiffy.

DJ Mazel Tov in the house!

Klezmer is very different! Here's a good overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klezmer

Hipster's one way of labeling "indy-rock" or what "alternative college" music grew into.

I like your attitude about music. :)

Gary Numan is definitely Music That I Think Rocks. He can have his own tier in that heading:

Music That I Think Rocks
- Gary Numan
- [everything else]

Whales rock! They make some crazy jams.

People are going to be surprised when they find that the Music That I Think Sucks category is mighty small.

My earworm is your earworm! Music is a virus! Pass it on!

[xiane.livejournal.com]

Thank you, ma'am! It is growing! And the best part about that? I don't have to do much to it now. Yay! Down with flat irons!

[xiane.livejournal.com]

Anything that regularly rocks an accordion is a-okay by me!

Too bad that more people don't know about the crazy, fascinating music choices out there. I should have known you would, you rock like that.

[eure-maum.livejournal.com]

Ah, it goes to my heritage. :) You must send me some of this kind of music to sample...then again, you still owe me cds! LOL.

My attitude about music is one I've carried awhile, even when I was in high school going through "I love country music/I'm a redneck/NASCAR is God" phase. LOL. *shivers* Thank God I grew out of only wearing NASCAR related clothes. Now THAT would be funny as hell if I still wore that and went to The Dawning or a Bella Morte show.

My attitude in life is try it once, you may like it. Tis what I live by and always have. I don't judge things based on someone else's opinion. I consider it, but still give it a try. :)

can I say I still miss the purple Xiane hair?

[briskpepper.livejournal.com]

I think we all know where Klezmer fits. ;-P

[ihvpave.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have really any.

I find where other ppl have "music that sucks," I have "music I'd prefer not to listen to, but I understand why others might" and "music that is kinda boring and not very creative and makes me kinda sad for the ppl that think this is innovative" and "hmm. That sounds like So-and-so."

In your butt? Those trombones are gonna hurt.

[jukebox-heroine.livejournal.com]

that's awesome.
also : when i was in honors orchestra in junior high we had to play a klezmer song. it was most unusual to slip it in along canon in d.

[jukebox-heroine.livejournal.com]

you rock more. :)

[xiane.livejournal.com]

What did you play? I played clarinet, but HATED band so I quit early. Klezmer and Dixieland Jazz were my only hope for making clarinet work for me. [I'd wanted to play the flute, mom wouldn't go for it.]

[shocktrama.livejournal.com]

I think I like this idea.

A lot.

*looooove*

This post has made me so much happier. I hate to see all my friends made unhappy because they feel that they have to defend the music they love. I'd rather make 'em laugh at me. ;)
