Activista anti-MTV: What Just Happened?

Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	My approval went from 85% to 86% mysteriously... alright, well I think I know what happened after all, just wanted to comfirm it.
KotoFtw 03.30.12	I can see 1 & 3, and 2 to an extent, but I don't get why you think 4 is pretentious. That album seems really down to earth to me. Maybe you mean fans are pretentious about these albums?
VinVal 03.30.12	yes to all of these, good job sir
Scoot 03.30.12	pretentious =/= bad and the people making the music can be pretentious, but the music itself can't
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	Jesse talks a lot. It shows me that he doesn't have enough respect for the song-writing aspect of rock music, i.e. rock musicians have traditionally been choosy about what they put in their music and what they leave out. Enter: Jesse Lacey. Guy writes in everything. That's not artful. His music is his diuretic.
eternium 03.30.12	...what
KotoFtw 03.30.12	Are you saying his lyrics are too personal, or that he writes too many lyrics? Sorry it's late and I'm not picking up on what you're trying to say.
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	Too much lyrics
theacademy 03.30.12	holy shit is that julia nunes
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	He's a good song-writer, but part of being a good writer is being concise. Take my post as an example: I could've taken the time to distill the message into something that makes sense and is interesting to read at the same time, but I didn't. Jesse is good at introspection, but he would do well to be more empathetic towards his audiences, who aren't always going to be interested in every detail of his dark mind and/or past.
deepintheorchard 03.30.12	Why does the word pretentious have such a negative connotation?
eternium 03.30.12	That is the dumbest fucking reason.
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	@acad, yes sir
theacademy 03.30.12	dayum
FranzSchubert 03.30.12	eh, i can understand why you see them as pretentious...
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	It might be dumb, but a reason is a reason for someone else, unless it's a Riesen TM. EDIT: pretentious doesn't necessarily have to mean bad. I agree 100%. I have GY!BE as a five, but I don't have the others rated as highly. Some I consider good, and some bad.
J0ckstrapsFTW 03.30.12	4 is so fucking good
ohfoxxxycole 03.30.12	this is just going over everyones head
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	Yeah, this is a good conversation starter though. I can tell that some users are thinking at least, so that's good.
ohfoxxxycole 03.30.12	incredible
SpiritCrusher2 03.30.12	The Shape of Punk To Come maybe?
Dimor 03.30.12	Pretentious =/= bad [2]
owen 03.30.12	if you want something pretentious: H2O - what happened
FruityCatOfDoom 03.30.12	You're pretentious
Activista anti-MTV 03.30.12	^perhaps
Activista anti-MTV 12.20.12	I wish I had my old lists. They were all nearly this stupid.
DamnVanne 12.20.12	Godspeed? Pretentious? Say it ain't so!!

Activista anti-MTV 12.20.12	For the record, I like all these albums.
