haha wow... this site is still owned by the cocky, know-it-all, smart alec douche bags that think they have the answer to all the worlds problems.
So Steerpike, you just cut off net77 at every exit, refuted everything he stated and backed him into a corner where the only way out is to agree with you, how do you feel now? did you get your "power-high"? Does it feel good to do on the internet what you wouldn't have the balls to do in real life?
Ladies and gentleman all bow before the great STEERPIKE! may we some day know his greatness...... but for now, you better fucking agree with him.

You do realize the only person he was doing it with was someone who was doing the exact same thing? He wasn't bullying some poor sap who went around saying "This album is awesome. I don't care if you don't like it, you have an opinion and I'm okay with that. My dog just died and this album helped me through it!" net77 was generalizing a group of people as if he had a lot of knowledge on the subject, telling them why they don't like MCR as if they don't like them just because they don't like them. Steerpike may be a cocky, know-it-all, smartass in the comment, but it's warranted.

Haha... how I love retards on the internet.
People have opinions. If you don't like them, don't get on this site, because it's full of opinions. Something like music is so transcendental, that cold hard facts really have no bearing upon whether a band is "good" or not. Basically, it all falls to opinion.
As far as the genre debate goes, I think they're close enough to pop-punk to warrant the categorization as such, although that's not where I would have put them. But oh well.
Good CD, although for some reason, lately I've found myself liking 3 Cheers a bit more... strange...

And what exactly brought you to that asinine assumption?
Ladies and gentleman all bow before the great STEERPIKE! may we some day know his greatness...... but for now, you better ****ing agree with him.
Glad we're speaking the same language again. Now bend over and assume the position.
Steerpike may be a cocky, know-it-all, smartass
Thank you.This Message Edited On 03.23.07

I guess I'm just a provocateur at heart.

lol @ all of this.

*salutes steerpike*
Shall I begin ordering ceremonial Steerpike-themed robes? I can get them made pretty cheap... :-P
I agree, this is hysterical. Provocateurs rule.

I like that he accused him of taking his quote out of context. Because thats what a quote IS, lol a portion of text taken OUT of the text. but whatever... Steerpike is just way too power happy and he needs someone to put him in his place. someone other than me. I dont have the time nor do I have the patience.

Context and text aren't the same thing. Context is what follows a passage and makes it meaning clear. Text is just... text. So if he takes it out of context, it stops making sense.
Like if I did this:
I have the patience.
Oh ok go take care of Steerpike then since you have the patience.

The fact that you've had your language blunder corrected aside, I don't start shit with anybody unless they something inflammatory or stupid first. I only pwn those who deserve it. And this guy was definitely falling under the category of stupid. He's trying to pass his opinions off as facts and shot his mouth off about things he doesn't understand in the least.
If you want to bitch about how I do things, pfft! Go ahead. See how far it gets you. I don't like to sugarcoat my words, and if you don't like it, that's your problem and not mine.

Hey, Steerpike and other. I didn't say that everybody is afraid to admitt what they like, only that I THINK some are.
I'm not claiming that it is like I'm saying, but I THINK that there are quite a few who does fit my description.
And OK, you gave me an explanation of why it's important to put music in categories, but isn't it in many ways a matter of opinion? What some think is rock others don't. If a band is considered hardrock and you generelly don't like hardrock, wouldn't you have it in your CD-collection if you considered it in a genre that you like?
Also, sure you can be here if you don't like MCR. Discussions are important. But really, if you don't like MCR all, what is the point of being here?
And last but not least. It wasn't my intention to "bully" or offend anybody, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If someone felt bullied by me, I apologize. This Message Edited On 03.26.07

You classify bands so you can find them in a store. You classify music so you can describe how a band sounds.
'Have you heard Converge?'
'No, what do they sound like?'
Pick: 'Oh, uh, they're loud and scream and stuff' or 'Oh, they're a metalcore band.'
I don't like country but I listen to the Dixie Chicks. I generally don't like metal but I quite like Opeth. These aren't my tastes but there are bands that break the mold. Classifying is important to describe a band's sound, and it's not that hard to understand. You try navigating this site to find stuff you like without that system.
And forums need pros and cons. If every single person on this forum gushed about MCR, no one would know if it's really for them. Someone could not have the same taste in music like you (oh, hey, there's that class system again), but they could have the same taste as Steerpike, and they would want to hear both sides. That statement is backed up by:
everyone is entitled to their opinion.

No. Genres use empirical data to categorize and catalog music. You can't just decide that you want to call a band metal just because you like metal (although a fair amount of retards try anyway).
If a band is considered hardrock and you generelly don't like hardrock, wouldn't you have it in your CD-collection if you considered it in a genre that you like?
If I like the band proper, what's the difference? The genre is just an orginizational tool. Different genres don't have to be mutually exclusive.
But really, if you don't like MCR all, what is the point of being here?
Because there needs to be a dissenting opinion somewhere along the line, and it helps that myself and several others who provide that opinion speak English and don't resort to giggling like dumbasses after making painfully unfunny emo jokes.
Would you rather hear this from me, or some 12-year-old Midwesterner who thinks calling things emo makes him a rebellious non-conformist?

Ok, I hear you and I suppose you have a point. But isn't there any borderline cases? (if you could say that, my native language isn't english).
Can you always say exactly what genre a band belongs to?

Some bands are always going to be difficult to classify (Mr. Bungle, Slough Feg), but that doesn't mean you have to throw the system out. In those cases you just have to generalize (Mr. Bungle = fusion rock, Slough Feg = melodic metal, etc)

"Blood" is good...
"Teenagers" and "Dead!" are the best though...
