I really wonder what I'm still doing on this forum...

I hate punk and most post-punk alike, unless it's been so watered down, that the punk-quotient has been all but eradicated

asking me for my favourite is like asking me who my favourite Serial Killer was... Confused

I like all music. Disco, pop, punk, prog, R&B, rock, country, even opera! I can’t think of a genre that I stay away from.

I love various opera music, including Chinese opera. Like lots of music of all of those.

Although I have thought negatively about AOR and Arena Rock, there is lots of music that falls under that that I do like. I'm not keen on Crunk, which is a fairly punky form of hip-hop. The music I really don't like is music I hear blasting out of cars here, which is largely heavy bass hip-hop/rap here and boppy bass heavy Punjabi music.

I would say if one doesn't like music being presented commonly here, that's fine, there's space for huge diversity. And if one builds topics based on one's own interests, then, generally, expect interest from others. And of course by making topics you might turn people onto music they might not know and that build little communities within PA to share the same interests. We generally are pretty hardcore listeners (music geeks) who have listened to huge amounts of music, but there's always more to discover. :)

Post-punk is an important ingredient to my tastes, especially these days.

I certainly won't say that I like all genres, but I like for instance quite a bit of both Punk and Metal.

Of course the thread has a right to be here under GMD.... I was just being a bit grumpy and slightly humorous (although that obvs didn't shine thru Embarrassed)...


I would just say that I also share an enjoyment of Opera (esp the three Italian greats), but for me it's the visual feast and the occasion that I particularly enjoy.

They got better beyond the 80s. I was pleasantly surprised how much i enjoyed their music. I think they deserve a second chance. Smile

Me too! The only genre I stay away from is Rap/Hip Hop, which doesn't fit the dictionary definition of music, bearing in mind Rap/Hip Hop is neither harmonious nor melodic.

Jared: I relate to the humour, and it didn't seem that grumpy to me. I can be really, really grumpy, very shamefully so, and at those times I also am commonly uniquely stupid. Sometimes I'm not at all grumpy and yet still come across that way. My weird sense of humour. Mine was more of a general comment as some people seem to complain or get upset about certain music not getting discussed much and about the music that get discussed, and that too can get really blown out of proportion. If those people want to focus on other things, it's not challenging to build topics for that discussion. Variety is the spice of life, and I love the amount of music diversity that this forum affords. And yet despite the many differences one fins interests, one also finds much in common. I like to try to find those commonalities with people where we often seem to be on very different pages. With the friendly, open to checking out music and exploring, and conversational people that's usually not too hard. With some it proves almost impossible. And that's okay too.

As for rap, The Gonch from the CBBC (BBC Kids in Canada) show Big Babies made me a fan. I loved to watch this with my young children, but truth is, I was way more into than they.



I actually have grown to like lots of rap, and have liked some rap for many years.

Having said that I like ‘All Music”, I especially like Prog because it’s sort of a catch all for the strange, the cerebral, the absurd, the mystical, the bombastic and more. Some of Prog best known artists are/were out of this world. Punk is less elastic but there’s some really good punk out there. Especially late 70s through the 8o’s .   I once steered away from rap and hip hop but have since found some that resonates with me. Music for our many moods.

You're right. Post-punk, yes, but definitely not punk, and besides, I quite like The Cult's Love album, so it can't possibly be punk. Tongue

Well, I don't see it as a matter of objective truth.

In fairness though you did put Post-, 1985 in brackets, so I don't believe you were claiming it was a punk album. Smile

Nobody classifies The Cult as a punk band or that album you mention as punk. So...

^ It's not nearly as bad as me classifying The Cure as a Synth-Pop band though. LOL

On RYM, this album is tagged as Post-Punk and Gothic Rock, both considered Punk sub-genres, and that's good enough to me.
