Exactly. I mean that's mostly how I find out about new bands. I don't get people who read a post like mine and go "THIS POOR MAN IS OBVIOUSLY QUITE INSANE. HONESTLY, THE VERY IDEA THAT AN ART FORM SUCH AS HIP-HOP WHICH IS LOVED BY MILLIONS AND BEEN CONSISTENTLY POPULAR FOR THREE DECADES MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER ANYBODY. WHAT NONSENSE." I don't get why they're even reading a forum like this because they've already decided not to even try to learn anything.

Honestly, Beastie Boys aren't exactly my cup of tea, but I like to read posts from people who are excited and detailed about bands they love. It sometimes gives me pause for reconsideration.

Catfood: Yeah I think it's actually quite depressing that on a "progressive" forum, people here not only don't go outside their music comfort zones but PROUDLY ADVERTISE IT. What is up with that? I've said before that I think quite a few people here are posers and actually very, very, conservative about music.

There was a poster named Snow Dog Who not only dabbled in prog But limerick rap Which was lyrical crap And his grandma had sex with a frog
And he once pinched a cop on his knob
And he sang like a sodomised hog
Which stank worse than a Scottish pub's bog I knew I'd get it.

This IS the "General Music Discussions" forum, is it not? A Beastie Boy discussion is quite welcome here.
Nobody blasted me for a Prince thread I started here a few weeks ago... no one replied either.

It's so interesting that you suggest I should keep my musical opinions to myself because they're not the accepted norm on the forum. Progressive this is Dean, Dean this is progressive. Now is this a progressive forum or a let's-all-pretend-to-be-openminded-while-actually-being-totally-straitjacketed-in-our-tastes forum? You don't have to like the Beastie Boys. But you do have to read my initial post here and respond to the content of it, rather than tell me it's inadvisable to voice opinions others might not share, at least if you want to have a conversation in this thread rather than just make yourself feel clever.

The problem here is the inital premis is only of significance to you. Whether what you say is true or a crock is of little importance to the vast majority here (I was going to say "anyone" but I think there are perhaps one or two who may agree with you up to a point), so being agressive about it isn't going to enlighten anyone anytime soon.

And ANOTHER THING, NO, prog does not necessitate the rejection of any genre. Ooh but prog musicians reject pop elements right? Um, no, meet crossover prog. YOU necessitate the rejection of genres because you need to exclude to feel good probably because you yourself get excluded for acting like a dick a la this thread and f**k it, I'm going to battle you, this is straight off the top of my head: I understand rap, I heard it, I know it It's the words of poets, you're absurd you show it You jump to conclusions, you chump, you're confusin' Your snobbish delusions with the music I'm usin' To give my life fusion To keep my mind movin' to new places, new faces Mixing the races, in rap I find traces Of shared mental spaces, of hope and despair Desire and fear On the radio you hear Rap that's shallow and boring But Nickleback has 'em snoring It's all commercial, rap's not the exception This a self deception to give you a perception that your taste is perfection Rap helps me to manage my mind and my language It's speed and it's skill It's dope and it's ill New idioms fill, my thoughts and my mind I feel like I was blind, all the new ways I find To write and to rhyme, to string words together In ways witty and clever, prosaic? Never So go to a cypher, see if you survive for Five seconds I reckon that's all you can strive for Words you must study or you'll end up bloody Battered and bruised as my bars beat your body I know my nouns and my adjectives, this you can quote I may be dope but you are a dope Come at me anytime npjnpj.

Oh my god. I use a word you don't know, your reaction is to not look it up, but just march over it in arrogance and complacency. I talk about music you don't know, you write it off because to acknowledge that it might have value you don't appreciate is too much for your fragile ego. If I use a word you don't know, same deal because if you don't know it, it's not worth knowing, right? What a sad, backwards little mind you must have. If you're not playing a character to incite me, and I don't think you are, then you're not very bright. I suggest you not engage me further as we're not in the same weight class. Just being honest.

I mean the other day someone started a Coldplay thread and I piled into them because I think Coldplay are horrendous. But I never said "You are not allowed to talk about Coldplay on this forum." The guy wanted to know how people felt about Coldplay, I feel negatively about them, I expressed that and more importantly, explained why and offered alternative music I felt was similar but superior, in that case Elbow. The problem isn't you disagreeing with me npjnpj, it's you doing it like a clown.

I don't
think anybody here takes someone who judges music they haven't heard
particularly seriously. -> true, but nowadays how can anyone
avoid hearing it?
Also, your complete failure to address anything I said shows your post is just
a mindless, knee-jerk reaction to the term hip-hop -> Also true, although I
object to the term 'mindless'.
to make your point valid, you would have to argue that the juxtapositions I
attributed to the Beastie Boys are mundane or worthless, which you didn't do
and almost certainly aren't going to -> probably true, but I'd have to
look up the word 'juxtapositions' but can't be bothered.
as it's a core part of your self worth that you proclaim every music form you
don't understand or appreciate as trash in order to convince yourself that your
ignorance and inability to address this ignorance is a strength -> pure assumption.
Although it's true that I proclaim hip-hop (and rap) to be trash, there are a
lot of music forms I neither understand or appreciate but would never label as
trash because I recognize their cultural and/or artistic value. This does not
apply here though.
Additionally, genre-rejection is the absolute antithesis of the prog mindset so
why on earth are you on this forum? -> Untrue, I think you'll find that many
possessing the 'prog mindset' reject some genre or another. According to your
wording having a 'prog mindset' would ultimately mean embracing any and every
genre in existence, even tripe like hip-hop, just to mention a completely
unrelated example.
I believe a rare but well deserved "f**k you" has been earned and I
declare you officially owned, how you like me now. -> Yowsa!
Come on now, Textbook, we've had this discussion before. We agree to disagree.
But your repeated efforts to get hip-hop and rap onto this prog site is a bit
jarring, you have to admit. Anyway, I wouldn't usually do this, but
you're just such an easy target, 'cause face it: you ju' not COOOOl enough, man. Just having a bit of fun 'cause I'm bored.

You can't say this about The Beastie Boys. They are f**king legendary. Mind you...I don't knbow what you ***** ***** *** said!
