10.25.12 | metal seems pretty prevalent here, which is nice |
theacademy
10.25.12 | opeth 96%
paramore 4% |
Foaming
10.25.12 | Post-Rock
Pop-Punk
Prog
|
menawati
10.25.12 | there's a very active bunch of metal fans but i wonder if there are maybe more alt and indie people overall |
menawati
10.25.12 | prog is tiny here foaming, a set of about 10 guys id say if u dont include prog metal |
evilford
10.25.12 | I'm getting into prog so prob 11 eventually |
theacademy
10.25.12 | wat |
Havey
10.25.12 | site needs more love for jazz and classical |
Havey
10.25.12 | and psych |
Havey
10.25.12 | and lisa miskovsky |
JamieTwort
10.25.12 | and blues |
Havey
10.25.12 | yeah blues too |
menawati
10.25.12 | but what do u guys think are the most popular genres in the sputnik community ? |
menawati
10.25.12 | site needs a master pie chart |
JackSparrow
10.25.12 | Post-hardcore and emo are all that matter |
menawati
10.25.12 | isnt battle of genres just want to know from people who have been here for ages what are the most popular genres on here |
JamieTwort
10.25.12 | I'd say indie is probably the most popular genre on the site these days, partly because that's what a lot of the staff listen to. |
MO
10.25.12 | metal and indie this isn't hard just saying |
JackSparrow
10.25.12 | I'm guessing metal among users. But the staff are very diverse, probably the majority of staffers review alt/indie/hipster music |
evilford
10.25.12 | prob indie or post hardcore or something if not metal idk I only metal these days |
MO
10.25.12 | it started off being a metal dominated site, then indie got ushered in |
menawati
10.25.12 | im wondering if its misleading considering the staff tho cos surely when they become staff they gotta widen their reviewing scope ? |
Havey
10.25.12 | just look at Chan's pie chart, he's pretty much responsible for having shaped the taste of sputnik |
Havey
10.25.12 | so yeah
1. Alt/Indie
2. Metal
3. Post-Hardcore
sup |
menawati
10.25.12 | seems about right |
Sowing
10.25.12 | Alt-Indie and Metal are the two most prevalent from what I've seen |
MalleusMaleficarum
10.25.12 | overall pie chart would be cool
il work on somethin for ya |
ITsHxCTOASTER
10.25.12 | I'd suggest rateyourmusic for you guys that want more love for other genres. Their ratings are generally more accurate too, just don't look at any modern metal charts, blech |
menawati
10.25.12 | dont like rym this place is more cosy |
MalleusMaleficarum
10.25.12 | rym is cold and distant, not loving |
evilford
10.25.12 | searching for music by genre is great on rym
but yeah the community here wins |
JackSparrow
10.25.12 | "Cold and distant, not loving"
Fucking love you malleus |
Sirob
10.25.12 | 1. Metal
2. Indie
3. Electronic Maybe hip hop |
SmurkinGherkin
10.25.12 | Alt/Indie>Metal>Post Hardcore>Harcore/Emo=Hip Hop>Electronic>>>Others
Idk something like that |
Shuyin
10.25.12 | isis and moar isis |
DotEight
10.25.12 | Alt/Indie is definitely the biggest fan base on here, by far. Myself excluded. |
HitlerIsTheBest
10.25.12 | indie, then metal, then hardcore id say. |
KILL
10.25.12 | any music after 2002 |
Ecnalzen
10.25.12 | If you go into the charts section, switch the year to all time and look at the highest rated albums (as well as the genre it
falls in) that have a thousand plus votes it could give you a general idea. |
Hospital
10.25.12 | pretty much brand new |
Adabelle
10.25.12 | Oh cool i got malleus' reference
#soulmaytz |
Cygnatti
10.25.12 | "site needs a master pie chart"
would be cool but then all the troll 5's for deuce, rest, and tony danza would mess it up
alt/indie is the biggest but that's mostly because alt/indie describes so many bands and so many different genres |
Graveyard
10.25.12 | sputnikcore |
Scoot
10.25.12 | nah most of us know better there's just a few very vocal people ^ |
Graveyard
10.25.12 | wow |
FromDaHood
10.25.12 | I've only been here for 28 months but I think the focus is a lot more on indie than it is on metal since I started. Hip-hop has seen an increased following recently too. |
menawati
10.25.12 | "Hip-hop has seen an increased following recently too."
ye its quite depressing |
sniper
10.25.12 | why the fuck is that depressing you faggot |
Funeralopolis
10.25.12 | indie, then metal, then hardcore id say [2] |
StarlessAnd
10.25.12 | shit |
menawati
10.25.12 | sniper my sexual preferences have no bearing on my musical taste |
Havey
10.25.12 | well gay people tend to avoid the hippity hops so |
menawati
10.25.12 | do they ? why is that ? |
FromDaHood
10.25.12 | Homophobia usually. Dre almost got forced out of the rap game because of allegations against his sexuality. |
sniper
10.25.12 | faggot doesn't mean gay don't be a faggot |
ITsHxCTOASTER
10.25.12 | Yeah I mean the community here is great but I don't use this site at all for finding music, I just go here to chat it up with other men |
sniper
10.25.12 | if you don't like hip hop you're a racist |
menawati
10.25.12 | ok sniper so im a racist meatball ? |
sniper
10.25.12 | no just a racist asshole |
menawati
10.25.12 | why does not liking hip hop mean i am a racist ? |
sniper
10.25.12 | r u srs?????
because i'm not |
menawati
10.25.12 | oh sorry i was mistaken, i thought you had something worthwhile to say |
sniper
10.25.12 | why do you care if the sputnik community is listening to hip-hop? does this ruin music for you? do you think if gay people are allowed to get married it will ruin the marriages of your parents and all their friends? |
menawati
10.25.12 | Firstly, I am not homophobic. You are the one that accused me of being a 'faggot' but I wouldn't use such a derogatory word as it implies he who uses it is intolerant. |
sniper
10.25.12 | you didn't answer the question |
ChopSuey
10.25.12 | its ok too be gay |
menawati
10.25.12 | oh sniper, i just dont like it thats all it sounds fking annoying to me and growth in popularity on here is depressing bcos it might mirror a general growth in popularity which means i will hear more of it in public places |
sniper
10.25.12 | perhaps you should listen to some hip-hop that doesn't suck, menawati. |
Spec
10.25.12 | Usually extreme forms of metal are what come off as elite. |
menawati
10.25.12 | i haven't the time to explore all of it and find a few things i might like, ive heard enough to know it isnt for me in general |
FromDaHood
10.25.12 | Hip-Hop is already everywhere in public places |
Havey
10.25.12 | how does one not dig the hops? |
menawati
10.25.12 | if u dig the hops why isnt there any of it in your pie chart |
sniper
10.25.12 | yeah seriously there is a crazy amount of good hip-hop.
listen some weird hip-hop like shabazz palaces or cannibal ox |
Havey
10.25.12 | Because I haven't gotten around to rating any hops yet and even when I do it probably won't show up
because the pie chart only covers 6 genres |
menawati
10.25.12 | I cant man, the sound of someone rapping irritates me i cant change that fact. I'm sure there are some good lyrics and decent music behind it sometimes but when I hear a rapper I'm totally put off. |
foxblood
10.25.12 | "I cant man, the sound of someone rapping irritates me i cant change that fact. I'm sure there are some good lyrics and decent music behind it sometimes but when I hear a rapper I'm totally put off."
that's like when i hear people say they can't stand any screamed vocals, doesn't make any sense to me at all. you're limiting yourself hard man, just open up to sounds you're not used to |
menawati
10.25.12 | Yes but people only have limited time to listen to new music, if im going to explore genres im not used to there has to be some filtering involved |

Havey
10.25.12 | dunno apes have pretty impressive sense of rhythm |
menawati
10.25.12 | the popular culture of a certain type of music has no bearing on what i like or dislike sonic |
sniper
10.25.12 | no |
Havey
10.25.12 | sonic do you only dig 90/80's rap or |
sniper
10.25.12 | i really wasn't implying anything |
menawati
10.25.12 | implying that you're a racist for not liking rap is racist in itself |
sniper
10.25.12 | i don't care if he doesn't like it but it's silly to say it's depressing that other people like it. |
menawati
10.25.12 | i didnt say it was depressing that other people like it, i said i was depressed that MORE people are liking it bcos it meant I might hear MORE of it in public places as its maybe gaining in popularity |
evilford
10.25.12 | who is martin and is he really 40? |
evilford
10.25.12 | "90s raps the best dude"
agreed |
menawati
10.25.12 | lol fuk off sonic |

10.25.12 | being a roadie for ELP might have been fun setting up rotating grand pianos |
sniper
10.25.12 | this is a conversation it wasn't intended to be now and i'm sorry for taking what should have been a dumb conversation about the sputnik hivemind and making it a dumb conversation about hip-hop instead. |

10.25.12 | sweet, old dudes unite!
