"Taste" is the refrain of every guitar site dipshit who wants to bore the shit out of you and tells you that you should like it, who is simply appalled that kids today don't know or care who Gary Moore (the #1 guitar player of ALL TIME according to a poll of the Seymour Duncan forum!) is. For all the talk of "snowflakes" the world is filled with white men who, given all the written and recorded music in the entire world set the way back machine, repeatedly for 1976 so they can listen to "Carry On Wayward Son", or 86 for some Motley Crue bullshit or whatever, and re-live the time that they too felt special. But kids today can feel special even without listening to "Carry On Wayward Son" and it's just appalling that no one took them to the woodshed and beat some sense into them and that's a crying shame. I'm a white guy too. I'm unapologetically into soy cuz milk makes my fart. Plus I like soy, so fuck you, meat boy. I'm older than you as well. But there's nothing like being lectured about taste by someone who's dead inside and is just appalled that someone would have the temerity to go out there and act like a freak.BossMann73 wrote: Cool post. Thanks. Hey, you got my vintage right, although that has very little to do with my disdain for noise/shoe/dream/ambient hipster crap. Yes, I do have opinions on musical rights and wrongs (as do the soy boys on this thread who dismiss legends like Deep Purple because they are old). I see this as a good thing though. Besides, I love a lot of new bands, but pretty much just the ones who actually know how to write a song with structure, melody, discernable lyrics and taste no matter which genre.
Bingo! The world is filled with these shitheads who think that the best defense is a good offense.popvulture wrote:I think the guy is drunk and thinks this is Breitbart.
Lol. Anyone else find it great that he is literally the embodiment of *his* idea of a "soy boy"?BossMann73 wrote:Cool post. Thanks.

Do you even brandbro? You gotta brand yourself before you band yourself, duh.
But seriously I dig some Boss pedals, I have an HM-2 and a Boss MIXER ffs. But I wouldn't do only Baws pedals just to like prove a point, though to each its own, just buy whatever you can afford and use I guess. And what the fuck is with the knee-jerk reaction to music that doesn't conform to whatever rigid definition you have, B-mann? That's lame dude. Although to your defense I know a guy also born in '73 (if that's indeed your vintage) and he also has similar attitudes about weird music. AND likes old boss pedals yes, but get this, he also loves that Basic Audio muff I sold him and doesn't even hate me for having more pedals than him.
I guess it all boils down to the fact that I don't subscribe to the theory of "anything goes." To me that shit's a copout and an excuse for lame musicians to justify their existence. One of the reasons it's so hard to find good new music nowadays is because the market is so saturated with soy boy shit written by kidults whose parents believed in "free range kids" and that every temper tantrum showed how "unique" their kids were. Now these kids are saturating the bandwidth with garbage and it's become a real echo chamber.....and not even a good DM-3 echo, but rather a lame boutique modulated one.

That immediately registered as a turd to meDandolin wrote:
