Release your inner music snob

[goroth]

Gimme another pint and put some fucking Slayer on.
(this would be said for all pints)

I'm sorry I just can't relate to this thread at all.

This explains so much.

Zero pints, unprovoked: Three out of Thrash's 'Big Four' can get fucked. Anyone who says they like Megadeth and/or Anthrax is lying. Metallica's fine, but their bad discography outweighs their good, so they've deleted themselves from the top spot. Slayer's good, but Voivod are better than all of them. There's just a Big Two now. Deal with it.

Half a pint, limbering up, ready to block an attack: Nobody likes Crass. Nobody has ever listened to a Crass record front to back and said "yeah, this is good". Also - Sunn O))) are the Ramones for hipsters. There're more Sunn t-shirts in circulation than there are fans of Sunn. Admit it. You don't like them. You want to. But you don't. Poseur.

0 pints, at bar or friend's house: "yeah this band is okay." *wishing desperately someone would put on Black Marble*
1 pint: "Hey, have you heard of the band Black Marble? I think you'll dig it."
2 pints: "I'm going to put on Black Marble. Let me see your phone."
3 pints: "See this is tight"
4 pints: "fine, you can change it back"
5 pints: "yeah, you're right, this is great!" *dances with vigor, but poorly. Mostly neck and arm movements*

These are just good takes. I want to hear the drunken bad takes

This is... Somewhat familiar. I've managed to mostly cure myself of the impulse to put on music I like at parties because it's always this story

[D.o.S.]

Counterpoint: Anthrax is good. So is Crass. So is Sunn.

However, my inner music snob compels me to point out that there hasn't been a legitimately great stoner rock band that has started within the last 10-15 years.

That's because weed's more potent than it used to be.

I'll give you Crass and Sunn are alright but the point about the ratio of people who actually like them to people who like the the merch...

Another very mild take here.

Seems totally reasonable and easy to verify.

Bands are good.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Here's my hot take: bands are not in fact good.

There is no amount of alcohol that will make me not hate that channel.

Sound Field or Fantano?

One is a forgettable critic, the other is the antithesis of everything I dislike about pop culture.
