I personally can't because I don't much like the genre, but I don't doubt that there are one or two rap artists doing something very creative, intelligent and different. They'd only have a slim cult following though. I don't think anyone can dismiss any genre off hand. It's a dangerous and ignorant thing to do.

Come on, you can't be serious about that. Even if you don't like bands like Yes and Genesis you still have to admit that more intellect is put in their music than in the average mainstream britney spears album. Don't always try to sum it all up with one statement that's simply not true.

if they create something creative, intelligent and different, wouldnt that make them progressive? lol

you said yourself trouser that they would only have a slim cult following.  Why is this?  Why can't people that make intelligent, creative, and different music have bigger fan bases? I just don't get it

I beg to differ. You are from Brazil like me. You certainly know certain music genres that are... far less inspired than, say, bossa nova or classic MPB (popular brazilian music).

Think a certain comercial-ass-shaking music that has no qualities of its own, just good looking dancers...


Axe and Pagode, as an example, are very smart music in the catchy way! For the people who like it, it rocks! It's great to dance (not for me. I hate it). In this sense it's intelligent, because it makes people "dance with it".
And above all, is punk

mate, it may not be top quality for you but it might be for other people. i am not a god to say which music style is the best in the world. everyone listens to what he likes. for example you might like genesis and someone else might dislke them. what does this mean? that they are worthless? no, they are ok for you but not for someone else. f*ck labels people, who caes if something is rock or rap or metal or rave, music is music. every style of music has its good and bad moments. rap might mean so much for black people, it's a part of their culture, i can not judge them for that. anyway everyone has his own opinion on the subject but at least try to express them in a proper way.

First of all, I don't have to admit ANYTHING because you say I must. In the sense of "musical quality" it's more intelligent, but in the "pop" way it's not. There isn't just one "intellect", it depends of the point you view it.

Because, as I said many posts back DIFFERENT PEOPLE WANT DIFFERENT THINGS FROM MUSIC.

Some people, like us, want something artistic and creative - a CHALLENGE.

Some people want something emotional, with touching sentimental lyrics and a melody they can hum along to.

Some people want to look cool and will go with whatever is the media trend. We may pity them but it's their choice - I know many intelligent people who still take this route with choosing music.

Some people want music to dance to. Prog's not for them, is it?

Progressive music is for people who want something very specific, the aforementioned challenge. You don't have to be the sharpest tool in the box to want that, and your suggestion to the contrary is what put mine and other's backs up.

I'm not fussy about brands - just so long as it's raspberry flavour.

Chill. I thought we'd started afresh.

You know that just because some people deserve a right thrashing, doesnt mean you have to administer it.You'll get thrown off and there is no real point to that.
