Best bands of the 00s

I understand that, but when you drag the question of intelligence into this, you come off as a huge snob. I think all of us can write 2000+ word posts if the subject motivates us enough to do so. It speaks for itself, though, that people are going to not bother to read through a 1500+ word post if they don't find the subject interesting enough.

Well three people commented on the quality of Muse so obviously they were interested enough to take a shot at them. I assumed they would be interested in hearing why I liked them so much. It's not as if my post was overly complex or anything; I purposely kept it general and rather to-the-point for reading ease. It's a 5 minute read at the very most.

[Laughingman]

No one said it was a bad thing to write long posts. This is a stupid argument and off topic anyway.

As for the actual topic, I can't really say. I really don't care about modern music enough to contribute. Amy Winehouse is pretty cool though.

[Lithium]

It's quite the large difference between having the interest to use 25 seconds writing a sentence on why you don't like Muse, and taking enough interest to spend five minutes reading an essay-like post on why someone else likes them, plus spending over 10 minutes writing a reply to that post.

Most people on a forum like this is just not like that.

We're not good enough for him.

I wish we were just as intelligent and intellectual as the members on one of those High IQ-boards.

That's right. I like some rap and new punk bands, but prog-rock/metal never appealed to me.

[Raw Power]

I don't see any punk bands on that list.

It's so many better hip-hop acts than Eminem and Jay-z.

Linkin Park, Rise Against, MCR and Millencolin are all jokes imo.

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

My Chemical Romance.

[Guest knerken]

I don't see any punk bands on that list.

Rise Against and Millencolin are great punk-rock bands while MCR is more a punk-based pop-band IMO.

And yeah, there are many better hip-hop acts than Jay-Z and Eminem, but they were all at their best before 2000. Em and Jay reached their musical peaks after 2000.

There really hasn't been enough mention of the White Stripes in here, Jack White is a god.

I'm not acting snobbish, I just think it's ridiculous how much of a big deal people have made of a 1500 word post. That really ISN'T a lot.

If people are going to act like it's a bad thing to make posts like that I'm going to defend it. This place would be better if there were less one-liners and more well thought-out posts.

You got to understand that this day in age, people would rather have a discussion consisting of 100 replies than two replies with 1500 words each.

I'll elaborate.

The internet forum phenomena took it's first steps somewhere in the mid-90s. More accurately, 1996-ish. Back in those days, when the internet was just a luxury for quite a low number of people worldwide, the message boards (or - forums, discussion boards, bulletin boards) were just what the name suggests. A board to put messages on. Whether it's "does anybody have the new Chinese Democracy CD" or "To all Skid Row listeners: Skid Row causes emphysema, and will ultimately turn your lungs brown", the internet forums, back than, were filled with "shoot and scoot" messages. Meaning people leaving messages and leaving the forum, coming back a day, a week or a month later to check if they have replies. Most of the forums back then were anon, too. A fact that allowed people to ask the most obscure and bizzare questions, or leaving the most controversial opinions. All those things combined created a virtual surrounding which demanded posters to pack as much information as they could in their posts, knowing that people don't stay in the forum for a long time, and if there's information needed to be passed, then it's better be done in this one time a month that specific posters logs in.

Fast forward to 2008, and the world is in a different place today. We don't pay for the internet per hour anymore. Our 38k slow as fuck modems evolved into broadband connections, that transfer Mega-Bytes easily in no-time. And most importantly - we don't have Spice Girls' "Wannabe", Los Del Rios' "Macarena" and Oasis' "Wonderwall" as our biggest hit singles. Of course, with the course of years, our society evolved into something different, too. The times of being hip, wearing tights and listening to Nirvana when you fight with your parents have transformed to being dope, wearing baggy pants and listening to Linkin Park when your girlfriend leaves you. People are sharper, faster, and colder today. In many people, the feeling of social acceptance, and sharing of viewpoints and liquids have transformed to getting an "lol" smiley on the various virtual communities that have emerged. Since we don't pay for internet per hour anymore, and we have cable connections or ADSL or whatever, we can allow ourselves to stay tuned every second of the day, the week or the month. People are fast acting, and they want their shit right here and right now. And if you can add a laughin' smiley to that, you make them even happier. Then it's out the hell of this forum and onto the next news site, to check on if those Israeli bastards are still running over infants with their tanks and use their blood to make Matzahs, after that, you're switching to your hardcore/softcore/anal/gay/bi/animal porn site to rub it off after a hard day at work, and back to the forum, to see if your sarcastic remarks got a lot of abbreviations followed by little yellow laughing faces.

Therefore, people can't usually be bothered to read long posts, cause they have their porn sites waiting on the other tab, or their kid's pulling at their leg cause he pissed all over himself, or their favorite tv show is coming on. So people slowly turned the internet forum idea, into a very slow chat room. You post a message, about 20 minutes later, after you've masturbated, you'll get your answer, and post your next stupid post. People having discussions in one liners, is not necessarily shows anything about their IQ. The discussion itself, like a discussion in the real world, can be three or four sentences each, and still have a high level an thought provoking subjects. People are just not used to sit and read long articles anymore, that's not what they're logging in for. They want their free time to be as easy and relaxing as can be, but still have high level conversations.

By saying that people who don't read huge essays on forums have low IQ you're proving your own low IQ buy a - Making an ugly generalization. And b - not thinking by yourself about everything that I wrote this far. I suggest you find the virtual community that will suit your need in long article-like posts, if that is what sails your boat. But please don't act snobbish and feel superior because you wrote 1500 words about a shitty, mediocre, monotonic band.

All of that ^^^^

Could also be:

Look, not everybody have the time or the patience to read an essay in their free time. That says nothing about their intellect. Maybe more about your own, actually.

If this forum doesn't suit your needs then get the fuck out and don't be a snobbish prick. Shithead.

See?

I liked this part of your post, pretty insightful in my opinion. I definitely don't agree with you about Muse being a "shitty, mediocre, monotonic band" but that's another story (see I made yellow smiley!)... And while I do understand Ridin's point he didn't really express himself particularly good (in the post about low IQ's).
