  • Youre right, but this isnt me reversing course, its me saying: you are using “pop music” with a different definition from the person you are responding too

    Pop-music per your definition is a genre or set of genres. Pop-music per the definition presented though is any successfully commercialized music that by association with the label of that commercialized genre perpetuates further commercialization. Metallica, and thus metal that follows them falls into this category.

    Pretty sure this is a word use issue. Metal IS pop music, in that it is closely tied to mainstream commercial endeavors.

    The GENRE pop music is basically a nonsense term. Its not one thing, its dozens, and metal is a counter response to many of those things.

    Yes, you can lump a whole ton of stuff together and make categorical statements about it, even when it shouldn’t make sense.

    Rap is pop? Yep! And nope! Country is pop? Yep! And nope! Metal is pop? Yep! And nope!

    So yes, Metallica as people may (have once) been a part of the ethos that spawned metal and its signifiers, they are absolutely pop stars.




  • You know what, fine. I was trying to empathize with you but you decided to be a prick at my expense.

    It sure does suck that your imagination is too shitty to find enjoyment in a legitimately in-depth game. I’m sorry you can’t find the fun in setting and achieving your own goals.

    Maybe its just cause you’re a dickheadk? Has that been considered?

    You are welcome to offer critiques of the game, and yeah its interface is pretty sucky. No it’s not feature.complete. All of that is irrelevant.

    I thought yo didn’t want to get torn up by the gamers so you come here to tear me up for making choices that differ from you? Fuck off! What’s it to you if I dont close my goddamn game for days while I’m alt-tabbed out.
