View Full Version : what constitutes brutality?

Topic = question.
I see brutal mentioned everywhere. honestly, when I think brutal I think of something like john mayer or jack johnson. it's so brutal to listen to them. UGhhghghghghgh
But then you guys say, something like "damn son, (name xcorex band here) is so br00talz lolz"
I have always been under the impression that when a kid gets ran over by a truck after finding out he has aids is brutal... not stuff that makes you jump around...
I believe we should have a sputnik dictionary. That way people don't use words wrong, and then those who do can be referred to it. just a thought.
also... if this is in the wrong forum it can be moved I guess... but I would like to know where to ;)

brutal is a fetus gestating in your scrotum, and you give your self a testicular abortion with a hammer

a dictionary? not a good idea; you will never be able to define anything for 100%;
you have the problem with defining "terrorism" and you have the same problem with defining "brutal", "metal", "depressive", etc.
music in general is a subjective matter... for someone Necrophagist is brutal - for me its great and consist a lot of melody!
your idea is good, but it won't work

couldn't it work if there was like a thesaurus type of thing? that way reviews on this site can be slightly cohesive... so one guy can't go around saying something isn't brootal then the other guy does. There should be a stronger more clearly defined word
EDIT: another trick that might adding notations* at the end of a review to explain the meaning of a word

I always thought brutal could be adopted to the production work as well. For example, and I'll prepare for the flaming on this one, Cannibal Corpse's latest album sounds pretty brutal because of the production.

Brutal is ripping a kicking fetus from its mother's womb with a rusty coathanger following an unanaesthetised and messy caesarian, carbonising the infant alive until iit is reduced to putrid charred remnants, then painfully forcing these extirpated anomalies down your urethra.

brutal is to me:
-either fast as hell or slow as hell guitars with crunchy production
-guttural as hell, usually indecipherable vocals
-drums that vary in speed with the music (blastbeats during fast parts, steady double bass/symbal/snare patterns during slower parts)
-bass you can FEEL
This differs from 'crushing'.

brutal is music that has guitar riffs and drums and bass that are so heavy it is crushingly deadly and awesome at the same time, the riffs are like lightning the drums are like metal and the bass is evil as hell and there is lots of heavy screaming, its pretty hard to define
brutal but like its really really heavy, you know brutal when you hear it because its so heavy.

My definition of brutal is snowboarding down a mountain of charred corpses in slick streams of still warm blood while wearing a backwards hat like a wigger and screaming about shredded wheat over incredibly sloppy drumming. Pussycore old school death metal is not brutal; only New Yorkment and Waking the Cadaver are good enough for me.

I thought about it more today during class and I realized the ultimate definition of brutality wrt music: if your guitars are tuned down to the resonant frequency of the human intestinal tract, causing audience members to double over in pain everytime you play, then you can truly and unequivocally call yourself brutal.

'Math metal' taken to its most brutal pitriffing conclusion. Embedding the Fibonacci sequence in your music, abrupt changes between unusual times and other such acts of faggotry will one day be looked upon as relics of the old-school pussycore past.

Brees are massive pale-skinned carnivores that live in caves and dungeons, so called for their cry, "bree-bree!", the last thing many an inexperienced adventurer hears before falling to their terrible jaws. Though blind, they track prey ruthlessly with their keen sense of smell.
