Really, dahling? Tell that to John Petrucci. xD

I don't know how you are doing these quotes, the person's name does not show. Confused

"Theater" is American English for "cinema", as in "movie theater". Geek

Theater is the AE spelling of "theatre", and also a synonym for cinema. At least according to the Cambridge dictionary:

^ Your post suggested that "Theater" only means "cinema".

My post was about John Petrucci's Dream Theater and what it means there.

Genres are for people who need them.

^ I use genres to narrow down the range of possibilities when I'm looking for new music. Not always, sometimes I don't pay any attention. But there are times when I'm looking for something specific, or maybe I'm tired of certain styles or genres due to overexposure. Avant is a good example - sometimes I'm drawn to it, sometimes the idea of dissonant madness doesn't seem right and I'm looking for melodic stuff instead.

I think genres can be useful IF you see them as something optional, focus on inclusiveness instead of divisiveness, and not take them too seriously.

I thought it was spelled sink garden, with the e before the i and the k after the w.

Sounds sarcastic, but actually genres are useful to music historians, musicologists and anybody tasked with dividing music into categories useful to others or themselves.

Here's a suggestion: act like you have the mental capacity of someone older than 12. I also suggest you stop manipulating other people's quotes. That way, even if you are a 12 year-old you won't be viewed as a jackass.

I sometimes like to turn down my "seriousness knob". I don't see anything wrong with that.
