Listen, everyone, we really need to sit down and reach an agreement on this. 😉

I honestly can't wrap my head around how anyone justifies this kind of behavior. It’s one thing to make a mistake, but to act with such blatant disregard for common sense? That's a whole different level of absurdity. I’ve seen plenty of people cut corners in my time—back when I was working a grueling shift at a logistics firm outside of Chicago—but there’s a line between being efficient and being completely reckless. This isn't just a lapse in judgment; it feels like a fundamental lack of accountability that seems to be spreading everywhere lately. How does anyone look themselves in the mirror after pulling something like this? It’s frankly exhausting to witness. 😉

stressee said:You rockers really need to get a grip. You only seem to have anything to say, and you flood these boards with endless threads, because you’re terrified of facing the reality that your genre is facing the same extinction crisis that hit punk rock. It’s pure desperation.

Honestly, it just makes me laugh when I hear people saying that. Rock isn't dying; it’s just not being packaged and sold as some mass-marketed piece of garbage like everything else on the radio these days. There have always been exceptions to every rule, of course. You still have those big, over-produced commercial bands that chase the charts, but let's be real—everyone sees right through that. Most people with any actual taste don't even bother listening to them.

Honestly, it’s nothing but a bunch of absolute morons.
And don't even get me started on those rappers—nothing but a bunch of filthy, low-life degenerates.

I couldn't agree more. Honestly, I have absolutely nothing against the people who listen to this stuff—everyone is entitled to their own taste, and at the end of the day, people will listen to whatever they want. But for heaven's sake, why can't anyone just admit that commercialism has completely gutted and ruined hip-hop? It’s infuriating. Now, you see every little kid scribbling out some nonsense about how mačka skakati goes into a kanta, and suddenly that garbage becomes a massive hit. It’s pathetic. And the worst part? They sit there in their bedrooms, cranking out these mindless tracks on a laptop, thinking they've actually accomplished something.

There is simply no substitute for the soul, the grit, and the pure, unadulterated emotion found in R&B. You can listen to all the polished, manufactured pop tracks they try to shove down our throats on the radio, but none of it carries that weight. It’s about the feeling in the vocal runs, the depth of the bass, and that specific kind of heartache you can only find in a classic groove. I’ve spent countless nights sitting in my living room, just letting a great record wash over me, and nothing else even comes close. R&B forever, period. Absolute garbage, just like everything else.

I find myself wondering, quite frankly, how anyone could possibly justify such behavior toward others. It strikes me as fundamentally lacking in basic decency. 😉

stressee said:You rockers really need to get a grip. You only have this much to say and enough posts to fill a library because you’re absolutely terrified of facing extinction, just like the punks did before you.

It honestly makes me chuckle when I hear people say that. Rock isn't dying; it’s just not being packaged and sold as some mass-marketed, corporate garbage like everything else these days. There are always exceptions to the rule, of course—you have those manufactured, radio-friendly bands designed specifically to line the pockets of major labels—but anyone with half a brain can see through that fluff and chooses to ignore it entirely.

Honestly, it’s nothing but a bunch of absolute morons.
Let’s be honest about this entire scene: most of these rappers are nothing more than absolute filth. It’s a complete disgrace to the art form.

I find myself in complete and total agreement with the sentiment expressed here. Look, I have absolutely nothing against people who choose to listen to this garbage—everyone is entitled to their own taste, and at the end of the day, people will listen to whatever they want. But for heaven's sake, why can't anyone just admit that mainstream commercialism has completely gutted and ruined hip-hop? It’s become a joke. You see some kid write some mindless nonsense about how the mačak skakati over the kanta, and suddenly it's a massive radio hit. It’s infuriating. And the worst part? These tracks are being churned out by someone sitting at home, clicking around on a laptop, producing entire "hits" without an ounce of soul or real artistry. It’s lazy, it's manufactured, and it's insulting to anyone who actually cares about music.

There is simply no substitute for the soulful, deep-seated resonance of R&B. It’s more than just a genre; it’s an entire emotional landscape that modern pop music fails to navigate with any degree of sincerity. I find myself constantly revisiting the classics, seeking that specific blend of rhythm and raw vocal prowess that seems to have vanished from the mainstream airwaves in recent years. While others might chase the fleeting trends of whatever synth-heavy sound is currently dominating the Billboard charts, I remain steadfast in my devotion to the groove. There is a certain weight to a well-produced R&B track—a gravity that pulls at you—that you just don't get from the processed, over-quantized tracks being pushed by major labels today. For me, it will always be R&B forever. It’s just more of the same absolute garbage, honestly. Just like everything else we have to deal with around here.

I am 100% with you on this. Honestly, I don't care what people listen to—everyone’s entitled to their own taste—but why can't they just admit that corporate greed totally trashed hip-hop? It’s pathetic. Now you see some kid write "mačak skakati" over a "kanta" beat on his laptop and suddenly it’s a massive hit. Give me a break. Just a kid at home with a computer churning out nothingness.

hollowseal33, if I could, I'd grab a beer with kost slonov too. 😍

np Bubba Sparxxx - mačak skakati

Timothy Jones85 said:Look, I wasn't even talking to you😕—I was just saying something to a buddy, nothing serious—but look at how you're reacting😲

So, if people just tell me to shut up whenever they feel like it, then I can't exactly choose my moments, right? That kind of takes all the fun out of things, I guess.😁

coastalpanther11 said:hollowseal33, I’d hang out with kost slonov too. 😍

No way, he's mine. I was the first one to spot his talent. 😁

Yeah, yeah, we can all hang out together. 😍

Man, it is so great how everyone is getting along in this thread. 🙂

Alright, let's settle this once and for all—who takes the crown? Mars Volta or the trio of Emerson, Jezerko & Palmer?

analogharbor442 said:Let’s settle this once and for all... who actually brings more to the table? Mars Volta or Jezerko, Emerson & Palmer?

Jezerko wins hands down, even if that total moron Emerson spent half the time trying to stifle his sound...

coastalpanther11 said:Look, hollowseal33, I’d honestly be down to hang out kost slonov 😍
too.
But let's be real about Bubba Sparxxx - mačak skakati po kanta (otherwise known as Ugly)

As far as any kind of late-night socializing with men goes, count me out... if you want to grab a beer or catch a game, I'm your guy, but nothing more than that. 😍

stormyotter67, thank God there’s at least one smart person left—in your case, actually intelligent!🙂

totally missed the mark on this one

fadedtrucker4 said:stormyotter67, thank heavens there's actually someone with a brain in this thread—and in your case, a functioning one at that!🙂

I honestly can't follow your train of thought at all... though perhaps that's just because I haven't had enough sleep yet. Are you being entirely self-centered here, or am I misreading you? Regardless, I think I'll head back to bed for a quick nap, so why don't you take your time and try to explain yourself more clearly while I'm out...

And while you're at it, what's actually playing on the radio most often around your neck of the woods?

And here I was thinking you were actually bright—or at least had a functioning brain. LOL

Honestly... 🙏 🙏

How is it possible that on a forum where we have over 200 active users at any given moment, there is only one single moderator???????????

I’ve come to the realization that most of you are basically listening to absolute garbage. It seems like everyone here just swapped out their adolescent obsessions for a slightly wider variety of the same nonsense, but the underlying taste remains just as narrow-minded. And honestly, I doubt half of you have even heard of the heavy hitters in the industry. It’s pretty embarrassing how uninformed this group is. We spend all our time debating these obscure, half-baked genres where the promoters are either completely tone-deaf or just plain incompetent. It's a total disaster.🙂

2.The Cure—what’s there to even listen to here? Just some amateur garage band that can't actually play their instruments. It feels completely hollow...

5.Skinny Puppy—honestly, I wouldn't admit to listening to this in public. It's just bad taste, plain and simple.

The Sisters of Mercy—this is honestly laughable. Do you even have a life, listening to stuff like this?

8.Rammstein—really now... you actually consider this music? You might want to go check a dictionary for the definition.

Just a bunch of poser bands with no backbone. This kind of adolescent trash is everywhere these days.

You haven't exactly spent much time wandering around this subforum, have you?

frozenfox13 said:maybe try checking a dictionary...

well, why don't you try looking at the cover instead? 😬- maybe there's more to it than just the definitions.

frozenfox13 said:blah blah blah

Why don't you head back to politics?👋
