DeathByDaydream: My Friend Thinks Popular=better Artist

Eskate87 12.30.10	time to un-friend him
patroneyes 12.30.10	time to kill him
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	Flame shield up for BMTH. It's a good album. Also, album art fail.
FadeToBlack 12.30.10	csb
North0House 12.30.10	Lol, man your friend kinda doesn't know crap about music.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	Well it's just frustrating because he directly attacks my music. And then when I show him how easy it is to criticize rap (still not saying it's wholly bad), he thinks I'm saying that rap is bad when I'm really just showing that as somebody who listens to rap alone, he doesn't have grounds to criticize anything else.
patroneyes 12.30.10	rap is much better than anything you have on here
North0House 12.30.10	Lol, so basically he shuts out any criticism you have against what he listens to? Sounds like my friend, he likes Ke$ha and all that crap. He does like some decent bands though, like Coldplay. But, he tells me that the music I listen to is pointless.
Josh D. 12.30.10	You should fuck your friend and then never talk to him again.
wyankeif1337 12.30.10	I know people like that, and I've learned to just avoid discussing music with them. I just end up getting pissed off, and it never gets anywhere.
North0House 12.30.10	Show him some Defeater.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	^Hahahahaha wtf.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	The wtf was aimed at josh d.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	Yeah in some ways it's kind of like discussing religion.
foreverendeared 12.30.10	with Kimm
RiversCuomo 12.30.10	123 to joshua
Emim 12.30.10	Bring up how Ke$ha is popular and then slap him firmly across the face. Not necessarily in that order.
pmmets07 12.30.10	all my friends dismiss music with skramz automatically
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	I guess I should have been more specific. I eventually got him to amend his argument to be something like "more popular artists are always better, within a genre", which is still demonsterably false, but still a stronger argument. This kind of defeats the Ke$ha point, since we're already not taking any mainstream pop seriously.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	If my friend was more exposed to other music, I could bring up that Attack Attack! is one of the most popular bands in their scene. Although most of the other bands in the scene are bad too...
pmmets07 12.30.10	^^^^^ story of my life bro
pmmets07 12.30.10	well not my life, but this describes the people i am surrounded by on a daily basis
Maniac! 12.30.10	csb [2]
patroneyes 12.30.10	rap rules, haters
kingjulian 12.30.10	Standard idiot, right there.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	Why are people thinking I'm bashing on rap? To say a whole genre of music is bad would be pretty ignorant. I'm sure there are still good and bad rap artists but I'm not claiming to know enough to make any judgments.
Emim 12.30.10	"This kind of defeats the Ke$ha point, since we're already not taking any mainstream pop seriously." Then proceed directly to step 2 and slap him.
Hawks 12.30.10	Your friend sounds like a big retard.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	Well I'm glad SOMEBODY agrees with me. Although I already knew sputnik would
tkxxx7 12.30.10	I have lots of people like this around me. One guy I know claims that anything with skramz "isn't music", which makes me want to slap him. Same guy is a huge Gaga fan, and spent ~120 on some Lady Gaga headphones.
tkxxx7 12.30.10	Oh, and I like everything I've heard from this list except Coheed and Cambria. Considering another listen, tho
InFiction 12.30.10	I hate people like that honestly. Ask him if he's heard of Converge. When he says "No" show him the user rating on this site and watch him cry.
AggravatedYeti 12.30.10	stop being their friend. problem solved.
DeathByDaydream 12.30.10	The Converge idea would be an awesome idea if he wasn't logically handicapped. I'm sure he would just say everyone on this site is stupid. I've avoided telling him about this site altogether because then he'd just argue that I just conform to whatever the majority here thinks. I know him well enough to predict all his arguments.
musicConsumer 12.30.10	Keep company with the wise and you will become wise. If you make friends with stupid people you will be ruined.
Shadein 12.30.10	This is why I try not to talk music with my friends, especially since most of them don't like heavy music, more specifically harsh vocals. They just call it "screamo shit"
foreverendeared 12.30.10	De La Roots LOL you mean De la Soul
foreverendeared 12.30.10	hep beat me
Urinetrouble 12.30.10	^depends on what you define as real rap. real rap is any rap you define it to be, like waka flocka could be real rap
Strider 12.30.10	I have one who likes everything that's on the radio, think that Slipknot is a very unsuccessful band when I tried to tell him that they've had more success than a lot of the artists he listens to (since they've been and have stayed around longer to grow a bigger fanbase). Plus he thinks that rock music is only screams and Electric guitars and people who have fucked up their lives. Plus he said he knew as much about music than I did....
FilthyBorgir 12.30.10	Your friend had a total dick fart. I mean look at Nickelback........ their music is shit and look at how popular they are.
Urinetrouble 12.30.10	@andcas...im saying the term "real rap" is all opinionated.....to some people he could be real rap but to others not...and since when did rap have to be "real" to enjoy it?
Winsomniac 12.30.10	Wait, Eminem isn't the cornerstone of all that is African-American Rap Music? O SHI-
Urinetrouble 12.30.10	^okay yeah i get what you're sayin. next year is gonna blow this year out of the water for rap. New Odd Future, Raekwon, GZA, Redman, Yelawolf, D12(they're stuff 2008-now is good), methodman, Apathy, etc. gonna be so much better than 2010
Urinetrouble 12.30.10	little ignorant dumbfuck penis in ears little shit bag cesspool born cum receptacle awesome. screencapped'
Motiv3 12.30.10	your friend is a retard, i know thats already been said but id thought id back up that point.
Urinetrouble 12.30.10	little ignorant dumbfuck penis in ears little shit bag cesspool born cum receptacle little ignorant dumbfuck penis in ears little shit bag cesspool born cum receptacle little ignorant dumbfuck penis in ears little shit bag cesspool born cum receptacle
Winsomniac 12.30.10	little is mentioned twice. INSULT INVALID
Urinetrouble 12.31.10	well , Yelawolf is technically mainstream now but he is still fuckin' good. even his clubby tracks like "i just wanna party" are still good. did you download the trunk muzik mixtape?
omnipanzer 12.31.10	Your friends theory does not take into account the size of the label and distributor or amount of backing by said label and distributor. amount of places that carry x music and adversing (public awareness) make a lot of difference. Those decisions are made by a very small number of people based on projected return on investment. your friend is a dolt.
starry 12.31.10	Alot of music is about hype nowadays, you have to look through alot more than just the hyped stuff to find the best music. A good illustration of this is how crap most of the chart music is now.
Grignard 12.31.10	Lol pretty odd b/c a guy at work told me that "they got popular for a reason" as his reason for listening to mainstream-catchy stuff. Also what Urinetrouble said ^
omnipanzer 12.31.10	some people don't care to go find there own music and accept what is made readily available but this is all common knowledge... isn't it?
omnipanzer 12.31.10	not all popular stuff is bad but meh...
starry 12.31.10	'Popular' doesn't just mean mainstream
americanmusicmachine 12.31.10	ke$ha is a fuckton better than goddamned coldplay
FilthyBorgir 12.31.10	"ke$ha is a fuckton better than goddamned coldplay" I can't help but agree.
Urinetrouble 12.31.10	little ignorant dumbfuck penis in ears little shit bag cesspool born cum receptacle still love this
North0House 12.31.10	" ke$ha is a fuckton better than goddamned coldplay" I've gotta disagree. I mean, Coldplay's newer stuff sucks, but I love Parachutes.
Strider 12.31.10	"ke$ha is a fuckton better than goddamned coldplay" Preach brother
North0House 12.31.10	your friend is an idiot in some way
illmitch 12.31.10	lol this list is retarded
SpottedTrout 12.31.10	Hey, everyone listen to this; music is subjective and therefore can't be universally good or bad. deal_with_it.jpg
InFiction 12.31.10	Okay, ask him if he's heard of Elliott Smith. When he says "No" throw him into a pit full of hipsters.
spillingmercury 12.31.10	The more obscure your music is, the better. They just don't get you. :(
Kimm 12.31.10	Yo kid... Your friend is dum.
TheStefan 12.31.10	punch him in the Vas Deferens
Kimm 12.31.10	SOMEone's taking Bio 30
Emim 12.31.10	"ke$ha is a fuckton better than goddamned coldplay" dog shit and cat shit, man. They both just stink in different ways.
DGTLPRTY 12.31.10	I feel sorry for those type of people, they are missing out.
FilthyBorgir 12.31.10	They truly are missing out.
wakeupdead 12.31.10	i was telling a friend of mine about Opeth and he said and I quote "if they're so great how come they aren't on the radio?" lollll i laughed at him we basically had the same argument
climactic 12.31.10	i would agree with you but this list sucks so i won't
BringMeABrick 01.13.11	Popularity doesn't have any correlation at all to the quality of the music. Anyone who thinks differently needs their brain checked. Also, Amia Venera Landscape RULES.
drasticaction74 01.30.11	the dang-old Clear Channel's got his ass nothin u can do
Slum 01.30.11	the "my friend herped his derp" lists are really fucking stupid
Gorification 01.30.11	ask him if justin beiber is good. his argument is automatically fucked over.
Satellite 01.30.11	yeah they pretty much just scream "please love and accept me sputnik"
Hyperbore 01.30.11	That's democracy for ya :)
Gorification 01.30.11	if everybody just made lists about topics/albums that are acceptable to everybody, there would be very few lists. just shut up.
Satellite 01.30.11	what

East Hastings 01.30.11	lol who the fuck cares
Emim 01.30.11	"there is a vagina believe me i've seen it here is a penis let's keep it a secret" ^Every girl on the internet ever.
WARisalliknow91 01.30.11	Seems like your friend is an idiot and you are a faggot for making a list baiting for approval.
Gorification 01.30.11	ur mad.
