what is wrong with hexbear users and punk?
actually, scratch that, what’s wrong with them and music in general?
can’t go a single second mentioning a band or something without someone shitting out their own random take about music as if it’s a gift from God themself.
You can interpret through context cues whether a statement is an opinion or a fact without someone pointing it out as a disclaimer. If I say ‘the red hot chili peppers suck’, it should be pretty easy to figure out its a subjective statement because whether or not music is bad is inherently subjective and you can tell its just my opinion because I’m the one who said it. No one is ever stating that these are demonstrable facts because that would be impossible so even if somehow that is what they mean it can’t possibly be true and must therefore be a statement of their opinion despite their intent and should be treated as such.
My gripes are personal. I’ve lost all my high school friend to folk punk, not that they died from it, (those were people I met later) they just started dressing like Peter pan and calling themselves stuff like Feather and Navi and starting bands called Drop Out/Fall in Love and Buy Nothing Life despite being recent high school graduates with swimming pools cause at the end of the day they were just upper class band geeks. Punk is loud and noisy rock n roll that gives you permanent hearing loss from basement shows. Punk is about wearing studs and having cool hair.
“Real Punk” only consists of the nyc/london Classic Punk scene and the 80’s hardcore scene and its descendants. What is known by “Folk Punk” is nothing but Folk music with questionable real punk influence. When people try to argue that bands like Billy Bragg are not real punk, while saying that Johnny Hobo is, I can’t help not to cringe because they are just as fake punk as Billy Bragg (plus the adolescent cringe). Real punk sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake punk is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL PUNK are Amebix, Catharsis, Blackbird Raum (the only real punk band from the folk punk scene) and Man is the Bastard. Some examples of FAKE PUNK are Pat the Bunny, Chris Burrows and Defiance, Ohio PUNK BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO FOLK, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
A person can speak an opinion objectively and it’s still an opinion. It’s a very very common use of speech. That doesn’t mean it isn’t inherently an opinion, if you respond to an opinionative statement as if it were factual I’d say that’s more on the respondent. If someone is stating an opinion factually and making bild statements around it, they could in fact be using hyperbole. This is all really normal forms of communication thst as soon as people log on they lose the ability to parse.
Im not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying that a lot of (other to be honest because it’s not really present here) times I’ve seen people then take that opinion and then start attacking or demeaning for instance, people who like what they said they dislike. I’m talking about music here specifically, not Treat Discourse.
I am somewhat disconnected from the whole thing because I have a hard time really, like, genuinely finding genres bad. There’s probably something out there I dislike but calling it “bad” gives me bad feelings, because I’m constantly aware of the fact that other people can have different tastes, and have had my tastes change dramatically, so I could just end up accidentally implying I have bad taste later in life or something.
I think I can enlighten a bit. Music dorks who are REALLY into stuff and especially similar genres where you can split hairs and be nervy have a tradition of being harsher than they really mean or making disagreements seem bigger than they are. I used to argue passionately and loudly about music with this older dude who ran a record store and midway he stopped as any 35 year old arguing with a 15 year old did and asked “just to be sure, you’re having fun right now right?” And I totally was cause arguing passionate with people over which album by The Cure and going full debate lord about it (it’s Seventeen Seconds btw) is fun as hell for many people that are just that into music. There’s a general understanding that it’s dumb as hell at the end of the day. This especially applies to more underground stuff where if you’re involved you probably know half of the people you’re talking about.
And I will reiterate if you call.something bad it’s the same as saying you don’t think it’s good because you’re speaking about a subjective thing. I guess it’s more assertive but that’s it.
The amount of time I spend with this community correlates with how different from other places online I perceive it to be. It’s waxed and waned over the last 6 or so years, but lately I feel like I’m biding my time until someone enthusiastically different (better) than the rest of the Internet comes along
I actually do like Green Day up to and invading Insomniac. And pop punk is well known entry level or poser shit and has a totally separate scene from diy punk, folk punk wants to be considered crust punk.
Eh, we’ve got good not old dude punk bands, it’s very Japanese noise weebshit which to me seems like an excuse to bring Street Punk back but either call it UK 82 or add pedals and call it a day. It’s been boring as fuck lately.
It’s a bummer in North America that bands don’t really tour. They just fly out to festivals and the audience is supposed to travel and shit like that. Rock star shit
She should dump him for liking folk punk

you come onto the Posters Instance, and complain about people posting about one of the most postable topics in existence
It’s not the posting, it’s the posting as if your post is somehow objective fact
like “i dont like this genre” is a normal and fair thing that people say, but “this genre is BAD” is a weird way to put it

Also folk punk sucks.

Me barely ironically
Folk punk is truly a fate worse than death

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
No, It’s consistently treated as fact and used as a way to ridicule and attack people. Not in this thread, but previous ones.

Got some news for you pal
shitting on things is funny? idk
I have no strong opinions but I dont think that happens here much more than anywhere else online

understandable
I like it here, but I don’t go on the rest of the internet basically at all so I have less and less frame of reference these days.
Gift from God are trash
I like folk punk. Feather River Canyon blues is like one of my favorite albums.
Listen to Anti Cimex instead
We’re talking about music.
No, we’re talking about punk
Go fuck yourself, punk has genuinely good comrades in it. Look up GLOSS
(Too hostile sorry)
Yeah, but they don’t have music. I’m very very aware of GLOSS. I’ve been involved in diy punk for over 20 years, I was just making a joke.
Meh. Looked it up, it’s fine I guess. I like folk and bluegrass. Folkpunk is that, but manic and somehow gayer.
I’ll allow folk punk to exist if it calls itself something different and the practioners stay away from the punk scene.
Nah. Not so long as Greenday call themselves “punk” will I allow Taxpayers and Dayz n Daze to get thrown under the bus.
I actually do like Green Day up to and invading Insomniac. And pop punk is well known entry level or poser shit and has a totally separate scene from diy punk, folk punk wants to be considered crust punk.
Came here to say this
ITT people who don’t even own a single Discloae split 7"
Folk Punk: “Yeah so my dad is a venture capitalist and he bought me a banjo”
Imagine the worst house show you’ve ever been to
“This song’s called ‘I Hate My Life But Live My Friends’”
Friends: cheer
Everyone else: silent
*unintentionally muted or randomly sttummed too hard acoustic guitar *
IM SAD
CAUSE IM SOMEWHERE I DIDNT GROW UP
PARKING LOT
I HATE FRIEND
I LOVE FRIEND
I WISH THE LEFT WING REVOLVED AROUND ME
AND MY FRUSTRATION WITH MY DAD
The only thing you could hope for at that point is some sweaty old d-beat fucks taking the stage
Eh, we’ve got good not old dude punk bands, it’s very Japanese noise weebshit which to me seems like an excuse to bring Street Punk back but either call it UK 82 or add pedals and call it a day. It’s been boring as fuck lately.
Lmao look at us: We’re the “whatever you dang kids are doing you’re doing it wrong even if it’s good” guys now.
