So in conclusion, congratulations to all who just turned to the dark side of dark sides for a bunch of electronic magnets and circuit boards wrapped around in plastic and pleather to comfort your head with. I hope you enjoy those while society crumbles all around you, but oh wait... YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR IT!!!!


This is a perfect example of what I was saying earlier. Need I say more?

Nah, I don't think all mainstream music is good. (Hence the entry requirements for this thread.

) However, I don't ignore a particular artist because they're "mainstream", and I'm not surprised when they're good.

I have gone to over 100+ classical orchestra concerts over the last 6 years. I love going to operas (sometimes after three hour operas I wish I could see it again soon thereafter) and musicals. I love progressive rock, psychedelic, and all types of metal. I love the classical guitar and its music and I was going to pursue a Major in Guitar Performance before my hands gave out because of over practice. I enjoy electronica. I enjoy alternative rock and pop and R&B and folk and Hip Hip, etc. I can see value in what is mainstream and what is underground, what is rare or usually found. I just enjoy music. Even if one doesn't see value in something doesn't mean it doesn't have value. Only a close minded person would think otherwise. I prefer Prokofiev to Miley and Porcupine Tree to Britney Spears... but they all have value.

a state of free thinking is truly a difficult state of mind to achieve, as we are a product of our society. we are tainted with our surroundings. until that point comes when that which blinds us can be shed off without fear, with a firm belief in the "one" that is self, step back with a decided stance, take a deep breath and truly see... then it becomes blindingly obvious.
