Most Overused and/or Misused Words in this forum

[Demilich]

What do you people think are the most overused and misused words in this form? You know, the ones you see here every day and make you want to tear out your hair because people use them in ways that bother you... I'll start the ball rolling, I thought there were far too many of these around here.

- moderation
- Melinda
- technical
- everyone
- always
- newbie
- "you're wrong"


I had more before but I can't seem to remember them... meh, opinions are appreciated.

There's soooo fucking many... but suffice to say when I see the words 'favourite' and 'song' in sequence I feel like killing myself. I also think the word 'fanboy' has become insanely overused and is starting to become a cliche almost as much as the Opeth heavy/acoustic dynamic.

If you spend a few years on here, you tend to see the same things recycled over again, and it really becomes tedious to re-approach the same topics with an open-mind for discussion.

how is the Opeth heavy/acoustic dynamic a cliche? it's been part of their music since Orchid, so it's just Opeth's style.

 

[NonBoxed]

it seems that if you say anything about how opeth does anything well, you are a fanboy

 

[JoeVice]

fanboy...yahh....its old...

 

[Ermz]

Alot of bands do the heavy/acoustic dynamic, but alot of people seem to apply it to Opeth exclusively as if they're the sole band that does it.

Classic. That's not "classic Mikael" at the end of Ayreon trailer if it was only shot a few months ago. Seriously. You can't call it classic because Mike isn't known for goofing off. It's still funny, though. I'm also getting tired of hearing albums that aren't even a year old referred to as "classics." Classic, in general, means the best of it's age, and if you can't see a clear cut line between current music and the music of not even a year ago, the tag "classic" doesn't make sense, because you'd be in the same musical era.

"lol"

 

[fps]

*sellout*, *metal* (as in, this or that is metal), *classic*, also, the whole what is *true* opeth in terms of sound and style.

 

[Snyper]

'overused' and 'misused'

 

[jaykeegan]

Prog/Progressive.

 

[Nico]

I'd say 'production'... especialy when used in the same sentence as 'Steven Wilson'... way overused.

Thought of the one that bugs me the most...

-core!

Fucking mallcore, snoozecore...what the hell does that mean?
