The Intellectuals VS The Peanut Gallery

[matteus]

Tough call... I have the up most respect for both parties, I think the peanuts have the edge on sarcastic humour tho (lowest form of wit as quoted by those that don't understand/get it)

[Rusty Venture]

I find this thread gets *more* hilarious as time goes on.

Maybe we need to call an election? Monthly opinion poll vote based on forum threads

I can get you a free hat if that sweetens the deal

Did someone say free hat?!?! oh pants thats proven the whole point of the thread that people are easily influenced into being complete arses...

So is Matteus officially part of the Peanut Gallery yet? As the reigning Executive-Captain-President, I say welcome!

We're so special, that theEdge took the time to create an entire thread about us!!!

Yep, I'd say you're officially in the Gallery now.

With 100% seriousness, why is what she said or what she thinks about your iPhone even an issue? Who gives a shit? Why do you care that much?

It's not the fact it was my iPhone, or the iPhone in general, it was the complete unnecessary nature of it. IMO, it was like me walking up to you and saying "GOD DAMN YOUR CAR SUCKS BALLS!" when I had only met you like once or twice. Not that I really care what you think of my car, but just like "WTF? where did that come from? did my car murder your family?"

17days, I hope you come back and read this thread after you find someone you really care about. You're going to be painfully embarrassed at damn near everything you posted.

Everybody has those. 99.999...% of the time it's only you who remembers it, though.

Unless it's on the Internet, in which case you're fucked.

Stare too long into the abyss, and the abyss stares into you. *cold chills*

I know I am.

Everyone knows mainstream music is total dogshit, it has to be, it can't offend or appeal specifically to anyone, it has to be so chickenshitted out that it can't possibly be anything but boring, simple, and pointless garbage.

All I have to say is Green Day. Green Day rocked when they were indie, the first album they made after grabbing a major label was a mountain of suck that just got bigger and bigger and then we get "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" which is the gayest pile of catshit I've ever heard.

The problem is that people that wear those shirts have no personal taste, they buy whatever is advertised in the Target newspaper circular instead of what they like based on a sincere assessment of different types of music until they found one that really appeals to them. Buying something or doing something because it's popular is the dumbest fucking reason ever.

This is bullshit by the way. I agree that a lot of mainstream music is "safe" and therefore uninteresting, but to say that music turns to crap as soon as it becomes popular is just ridiculous. For example, I'm not the biggest Green Day fan, but I can look at you with a straight face and say "there music hasn't changed a whole lot in the 20 years they've been together." People get angry with the bands they love when they're no longer a secret.

Some music is mainstream simply because it's amazing. Are you going to tell me the Beatles are shit because so many people like them? Get real.

I will never deny the first 3 Green Day albums were great. Their shittiness has nothing to do with others liking them, they just aren't that good. Lots of people are taking a liking to Dinosaur Jr. all of a sudden, but that's not going to stop them from being one of my favorite if not my favorite bands, and alot of it is because I know those dudes care about nothing but making good music.

The Beatles were from a different era, I would argue the Beatles were one of the first bands to become hyper rich off of a music career, therefore they started with somewhat pure intentions of just making music. Also, once they became rich, that didn't become an excuse to cop out and crap out an album in a day because they knew it would sell. Yellow Submarine (movie) was completely unnecessary from a financial and popularity standpoint, but they still had the initiative to make it because they were true artists and saw it as a worthwhile project. I actually like most of the Beatles just as people as well, watching them in interviews and such you can tell they don't give two fucks about what people think or like, they slapped the fake, family friendly world right in the face and said "we're not going to do that." There's an interview on youtube where one of them openly admits to using drugs and he's basically "I'm not going to lie about it, I do (did?) them." When you're real, you get my respect.

When I say "popular bands," I mean like if you wear a Good Charlotte or Avril Lavigne shirt around, you are a douche monkey. If the band on the shirt you're wearing is genuinely talented, I'm cool with it. Still, you should be able to name some lesser known bands that play music you like, if you just name the Beatles because everyone else does, you're a douche.

I'll 100% agree with this.

I'll give them credit if they wear the shirt and actually like the group, because, there are far too many individuals who buy shirts for bands they don't even listen to.

However...

To see someone wearing a shirt from either of those two "bands" is so bad, laughing at them is a complete waste of a laugh.

Shouldn't the peanut gallery just turn off their cell phones and shut up so we can talk?

[Rusty Venture]

You can discuss whatever you like in this thread.

This is "state something completely random: Numero Dos"

[snume]

You want the Peanut Gallery to stay out of a thread with our name in the title?

I bet if you started a thread titled "edge and kiba's klub house" you would be left alone.
None of the PG would be caught dead in there.

Amen to that. Hopefully my plan will work and all the peanut gallery will focus on this thread instead of derailing other threads.
