I'm really surprised at the popularity of electronic music nowadays, as someone who has listened for 15 or so years. I never really got into rock or rap, apart from a bit of time when I was in 5th-8th grade and I listened to 80's buttrock/metal.

Also surprised at dubstep's ongoing popularity. When it first started getting big, in 2005 or so, I thought it would have a very short shelf life, such as its direct (and far superior) ancestor, 2-step garage. But 6 years later and it's bigger than ever.

[Human Snorenado]

Last decade was about rap, not indie rock. Rock is dead.

So why do rock bands sell more albums and have bigger tours than most rappers

But can those bands make it in NY?

Doesn't change the fact that these days hip hop is the face of mainstream music along side pop stars.

So I don't really see his argument.

Who in their right fucking mind has ever given a sideways fuck about "the mainstream"  You pretty much have to go back to the Beatles to find a time when a top tier talent was the most popular act in the country, and they didn't really get good until they started doing a fuckton of drugs after their "poppy" stage anyway.

Although, Arcade Fire did win Album of the Year last year, so I guess anything is possible.  There you go, a top tier talent getting mainstream recognition for a fucking change.

Oh man, the search for this answer provided me and the bore with so much humor and awkward PM exchanges. An apology for misleading you is long overdue, I believe.

I'm officially confused.

Remember the weird "how old are you; you're too nice to post here" PM you got two years ago on GAF... yeah.

It was after you created that Animal Crossing(?) OT. I thought you were literally 12, a few others thought you were a 25+ manchild. So I thought I'd ask you directly, and the result was that awkward PM. But in my defense I was trying to avoid coming across as a pedo while at the same time refraining from spewing manchildishness accusations. Too bad the answer was far less interesting than I thought

Oh right, yeah. That was a weird PM.

I forgot I did that OT, shame the game was so lame. :/ Don't think I even posted in the thread after that. I was basically into the first game when I was 12, and just kept playing the series because I enjoyed the games. Kind of like Pokemon.

It had less to do with your gaming taste (we've come to terms with ninthings) and more to do with your posting style and choice of words around that time. They used to project a 12y/o image of you. Just like your old GAF avatar, I guess. But in all fairness, you've come a long way since 2009.

Ah right, yeah. I kinda did a character thing since I was new to GAF and didn't want my feelings hurt.  :'(

Now I don't really care.

[Don Flamenco]

The older I get the less I'm interested in hearing purely electronic music or music that sounds like it was created mostly or solely on a computer. But that's just me.

I love electronic music more and more as I get older (used to not respect it, as a kid), but my most favorite bands use a mix of regular instruments and electronics.  Out of any genre, nothing quite beats a rock concert, imo...something like the Flaming Lips live. 

[Cerveza mas fina]

So how old is Andrex?

[fistfulofmetal]

Isn't he more of a Google fanboy these days?

[Diunx]

So Green Man is no longer our only teen member?

Waaaaaaaay more. More of a Pokemon fan too, if that's possible. Less of a blanket Nintard though.

Green Man only looks teen. He is going to enroll for the remake of 21 Jump Street.

Elton John will perform at Amy Winehouse's funeral with a beautiful rendition of Candle Under The Spoon.

Good voice and dumber than a box of rocks.

[Robo]

That's not fair.  Rehab isn't totally boneheaded - it's not a base Ke$ha-esque dumpsterlady celebration of substance abuse - it's tinged with a bit of honesty, too.

Most of Back to Black is really fucking good, particularly the Mark Ronson produced tracks.  She deserved attention for this stuff and got it from self-destruction.  It's really sad.

I didn't mean to imply that she was as dumb as a box of rocks musically- I'm actually quite fond of her music.  But yeah, she was as dumb as a box of fucking rocks.

This. Also the people around her were almost as dumb. How do you let your gravy train spin off the wheels like this. Same thing with Michael Jackson

[Shaka Khan]

Love is a Losing Game is almost audiorgasmic.

And Back to Black is the best album of the last decade. Nothing better. The Beach Boys of our generation.

[Stoney Mason]

Musically I quite liked her. I'm a pretty big fan of classic soul and R&B and she was easily my favorite among the recent wave of British blue-eyed soul. The fact that she was a trainwreck actually probably helped her music to a degree at least at first. See Sly Stone for example. But eventually it catches up with you.

[Himu]

What Stoney said.

[Bildi]

Who?

I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs.

Yeah, I don't think we missed much...
