The Whining and Bitching Thread

[JontRevolting]

I'll make this clear once and for all, I despise downloaders. Cunts that get on these forums and act like legends, giving their critiques and pretending to be owners of this music. You show absolutely no dedication at all to the music and history you profess to love, anyone can have an internet connection.
I have spent literally thousands of hard earned dollars(not being a college faggot but fucking hard work, do you even know what that is?)on this music and stiff shit if you've wasted yours on Internet downloads, I know this upsets a lot of you but go fuck yourself and I hope your hard drive last the distance.
Bunch of fucking sheep.

Download to listen, buy the vinyl if it's good. Especially as you get into more obscure stuff the amount of trash you have to sort through to find something good grows. It's not realistic to buy everything you listen to. Additionally, I would argue that not owning the physical music has no bearing on your ability to critique the music. It doesn't matter. The only bearing it has is supporting the band, which is important to do if you can.

Do you take offense at people who download from bands who only offer it for purchase digitally? What if they offer it for free? Does my ability to critique the music somehow rise in this case?

TBH I am totally turned off by this whole internet thing, I was guessing ppl would come back with variables but fuck me it destroys the magic. I am living in the past but that's getting increasingly difficult. The days when you'd be lucky to get one fucking review from a zine or something and then to even find the album for purchase... I just fucking hate this nowadays shit and TBH I won't partipate. I dunno it just seems fucking gay compared to the old days of zines and stuff especially watching these forums. Sheep.

Sure, you lose some of the mystery but you gain the ability to discover more music by talking to more people and reading more online reviews. Also, more musicians have the ability to create and distribute their music. Especially some great one man bands that wouldn't see exposure 15-20 years ago like Mare Cognitum.

One shouldn't hide from the modern world. One should actively piss on it and vomit on it.

They don't call me 'Francis the stubborn mule' for nothing, but I should try

I agree. I mean if you download some cool demos or oop shit or something it's fine, I do that and I also listen to stuff on youtube etc and download a album here and there before buying stuff, but it's depressing when people don't buy a singel album, I mean come on make some effort ffs. I find the money even though I also buy lots and lots of comics and other shit too. It's hardly too expensive if you don't live below minimum or something. Saying you spend it on other shit is not a valid excuse, obviously you get something from the music so pay your respects bitches.

That said I think alot if not most people here actually buy most of their music? I always got that impression atleast but maybe that has changed?

Pretty sure downloading has significantly declined from 5-8 years ago. Part of it has to do with music being more available to purchase online, and not needing to know obscure label addresses and shit.

 

[Draehl]

Oh I still listen before I buy. No doubt about that. 9/10 I either buy or delete the files after.

Spotify's and the what not I think

 

[Dak]

Yeah or youtube.

 

[Krow]

I buy way too much fucking music. Need to bookshelf my remaining naked wall sections in my music room...

I had a similar debate recently where I strongly took the position of adapt or die. Whether it's musicians, directors, or video games.

I collect hard copies of music and vg because I'm into that shit but a good deal of it is streamed, and pretty much all my movies/television shows are streamed. Which I pay for of course because I'm not a turd. People absolutely should purchase albums and dvds and shit of what they really dig but this is how the world is now. We need compact data for more processing power. I am so fucking pro-streaming.

But anti-downloading, for sure. Pussy faggots with ass faces and squid feces for tongues. Sign up for a monthly fee streaming service to check out new shit, at least the artists get the pennies for it instead of nothing.

I fucking love Spotify! I haven't downloaded in years, but fuck the people who say fuck the downloaders. FUCK. YOU. Downloading is a tool and if wielded correctly everybody benefits. You can't buy everything. YOU CAN'T. To sum up, everybody shut the fuck up.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

But you can pay ten bucks for access to shit tons of music for a month. I use rhapsody and have found maybe three or four bands missing from their selection in the many years I've used it.

JS.

 

[CiG]

Fuck adapting. Really the only films at risk for people like me that only buy hard copies are new shitty films anyway. There's not going to be a time in my life that suddenly Charles Bronson films are only available via streaming.

Shove it.

You don't need everything either. "I buy what I feel like so I am entitled to take rest!" Fuck that mentality.

It's so silly. It really is. To each their own is the easiest way to play it.
