Civil discourse. Discussion. Where is it? I made a non personal comment about why 12 year olds form opinions, It is taken as a personal attack. without questioning, or asking what did I mean, the response was an attack on me. Folks wonder why these boards go dead. When no one can be an independant voice, without constant fights, who would stay?
Nothing about what was the main part of my thread was discussed. only the little comment about 12 year olds and how they get thier ideas.
Sorry, this thread still has a chance to not be crap. If ANYONE wants talk about new music, or why they feel new music ALL sucks, and they have decided to ignore it totally.. then fine, lets discuss it.
I had (as I mentioned) ignored new Rock after about 1987 or so because i just found something else, that pretty much filled my needs for a long time. Jazz. Then i decided to get back into seeing where Rock had gone.
I sort of quit at New Wave, which I still love the Cars, and the B-52s. So I have just been buying tons of used CDs, and gradually finding out what is happening. A lot of minimalist infuence in music in the 90's.
I find groups like Art of noise and the Industrial movement exciting also.
