the preferences for historical context and information over critical opinion is a false choice, reams of information, data, and 'authority' are attempts at disguising ideology cmon guys

I have listened to every artist your new "favorite" has been compared to, and also listened to all the bands he has cited as influencing his sound. Therefore, I am most qualified to say.. he sucks. Bad. He's worse than all of his influences, sounds nothing like them, and also is the worst.
also he's subjectively bad

on the other hand one of my fave things about lex (hi lex!) is his ability to complain about music without making it personal about the people who do like that music
Complaining about their kids is a different story tho...

I've posted my fair share of stuff that has no insight but I think there is a difference between replies which are "I don't agree and you should rethink because of Reasons XY&Z" and "hahaha fuck off."
Also if light conversation type "I like this it is good" posts lead to a reply from one of the greater critical thinkers around here who can illuminate a piece of music and enhance its pleasures etc I don't see how that is a bad thing in itself.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:30 (seven years ago) link
also I think that the mentality of "let's be mean/tough/whatever because life is like that" which I've noticed in a few threads (such as the missing Fred B) one is grim, other people's shitty attitudes and behaviours shouldn't be an excuse for your own.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:34 (seven years ago) link
i think a lot of times who is being "shitty" has a lot more to do with who is afforded the benefit of the doubt, who is reflecting the egos of the people liable to be agreed withβwho is reflecting a consensus viewβthan it is anything to do w/ a posting style
you're talking about drawing young posters, i started the peep thread its like 80 posts of 40 year olds telling me he sucks for posts & posts & that i have shit taste etc. then when someone asks who's mean on ilx ppl are more likely to point to me than them lol
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:42 (seven years ago) link
lol deej my default is to question what you post (I lurk the rap threads) because your default stance is to plop your take on the table as if its a given and then any contrary opinion is a challenger or diss
so of course people immediately start dissing. your actual writing about music is good, it's the post presentation that's funny
― mh π, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:52 (seven years ago) link
I think because ilxors just appear as letters on a screen it's easier to forget which ones told me to fuck off in the past.
I've only been told to fuck off (literally "fuck off") once that I can recall and I remember who why and when because it was such a surprise (like a slashed tire surprise not a good one). I find it alternately a relief that no one can see me and a burden because if you can't see ppl it's easier to tell them cavalierly to fuck off.
Also D-40 otm about benefit of the doubt.

what's the dog thread? i'm a dad you have to tell me
i'm probably a dickhole sometimes i guess
deej is fun to argue with but also he's like insanely plugged into rap shit that's bubbling under even underground acclaim, like sub 5000 YT hit stuff it's impressive

it's probably been a while since someone crafted a post in a word document or whatever. some of them were so long and no typos! maybe contenderizer. is he still around? he was like the last stand for going long.

i write any post of mine longer than three words in wordpad. but my spelling and grammar keep getting worse so i should probably switch to word!

Lex said he got jumped by dads in the dog thread a few weeks ago. I don't know what the dog thread is, but my theory id he was confusing it with the time he said he hates children and everybody piled on him. However, Skot made a remark about 'hounding' that Evan interpreted as a dog thread remark.

I remember lashing out at you over some comment you made about Taylor Swift fans, maybe 7 years ago? I hope this isn't the one you're remembering. If so, I'm sorry. I mean, either way...
― how's life, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
Ha, noI don't think you told me to fuck off but if you did, I forgot. I probably deserved it if I was slagging Taylor Swift fans. That's rude.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 20:19 (seven years ago) link
I don't think I could take any response to LL as seriously hostile. There are people you can't be hostile to, even if it looks hostile.

idk who you are odysseus so no? :) The incident was because I suggested that an expression of coarse sexual language was gross (it was and is) and the response was "fuck off this is a message board"I didn't take the "fuck off" personally (i don't think the poster has any idea who i am as a person) so much as was surprised that it being on a message board was the excuse. i don't agree with that at all, that message board discourse is different from any other kind. i think that's outdated and also wrong.
