stop being like OMGWTF when bands have 10-minute-long songs. doing this is lame even when it's indie rock bands (television and can had 10-minute songs) but it's even worse when critics act astounded that mastodon have 10-minute songs. duh they're a prog-influenced metal band.

haha, do people still say "classically trained"? I remember when that used to be code for "metal, but, no really, legit!"

Also using "aspie" in ref. to someone who has detailed knowledge of a very particular subject is offensive and mean.

i feel like i still see it all the time as code for "legit", when it usually means "this person took piano lessons as a kid".

Yeah, it's always used as though there's some single Classical Institute that is like the Oxford of music or something. It's a little like saying "You probably wouldn't want to get into a fight with X -- he studied martial arts."

This isn't even "use other words," it's just "don't use." It's meaningless.

"Classically trained" isn't meaningless if the person in question does actually play/sing Beethoven, Brahms, etc.

I like the word "corny." I think it was used by Lee Konitz to describe Lenny Tristano's behavior during the famous Jimmy Garrison metronome incident.
