Title: Argument thread
Post by: Lavenchie on July 23, 2012, 06:47:33 PM
This is basically a thread for those who want to just plain argue about something or just want to freshen up on their argument skills, this is not meant to turn into a shitposting/shitstorm thread, don't go "lol I disagree", Actually post a reasonable argument to what is being argued about.

Argument: Dubstep sucks.

You shared an opinion in today's modern society. Here, let me go out of my way to tell you that's just your opinion and how irrelevant it is to the whole entire world, and that you should feel bad for stating an opinion as a fact and not positive.

I swear to god I'd be a millionaire if I got a nickle every time someone said "opinion".

Especially on the internet. In other words, there's no point in arguing over opinions but people do it anyways.

Clearly I don't give a damn if you hate dubstep. You have no impact whatsoever on dubstep or what genre I like.

Anything music related, you will be bitched about if you generally state something that you like, and how everyone will slap your shit just to say "that's your opinion". You can't even joke around with close friends anymore without saying "lol your music taste is shit". Another good example are the "top 20 <insert genre here> songs". The uploaders blast through shitstorms all the time because other people "don't agree".

What's that, you think John Lennon's Imagine is the greatest song in the world? LOL YOU FAG THAT'S YOUR OPINION.

Totally agree. RND would probably be a lot less aggressive or at least openly if we didn't have it, imo.

Counter-argument: Anonyboard helps flush contained and hidden anger instead of going into full frontal confrontation and tear everyone's faces down. Also people won't confront anyway.

It's better to go ahead and call you a cunt and piece of shit uneducated idiot who can't hold arguments for a fucking second.

Right? Right? Violent frontal confrontation is much better.

Implying most confrontations in here would even exist. Most people can't even stand being told what they're doing wrong. Probably me too, sometimes. I believe the Anonyboard is not only the lesser of two evils, but also necessary.

I'm going to try to be middle standing man here. yes it is true what Frank said,  the Anonyboard is a good way to vent out anger without saying it to their face and starting a huge flame, but its also a good way to be a two faced about things like rocket said.. me personally I dont get on the Anonyboard because, Im to lazy.

Argument: Modern Pop music sucks more often than it used to.

Reasoning: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/26/us-science-music-idUSBRE86P0R820120726 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/26/us-science-music-idUSBRE86P0R820120726)

Quote
(Reuters) - Comforting news for anyone over the age of 35, scientists have worked out that modern pop music really is louder and does all sound the same.

Researchers in Spain (http://www.reuters.com/places/spain) used a huge archive known as the Million Song Dataset, which breaks down audio and lyrical content into data that can be crunched, to study pop songs from 1955 to 2010.

A team led by artificial intelligence specialist Joan Serra at the Spanish National Research Council ran music from the last 50 years through some complex algorithms and found that pop songs have become intrinsically louder and more bland in terms of the chords, melodies and types of sound used.

"We found evidence of a progressive homogenization of the musical discourse," Serra told Reuters. "In particular, we obtained numerical indicators that the diversity of transitions between note combinations - roughly speaking chords plus melodies - has consistently diminished in the last 50 years."

They also found the so-called timbre palette has become poorer. The same note played at the same volume on, say, a piano and a guitar is said to have a different timbre, so the researchers found modern pop has a more limited variety of sounds.

Intrinsic loudness is the volume baked into a song when it is recorded, which can make it sound louder than others even at the same volume setting on an amplifier.

The music industry has long been accused of ramping up the volume at which songs are recorded in a 'loudness war' but Serra says this is the first time it has been properly measured using a large database.

The study, which appears in the journal Scientific Reports, offers a handy recipe for musicians in a creative drought.

Old tunes re-recorded with increased loudness, simpler chord progressions and different instruments could sound new and fashionable. The Rolling Stones in their 50th anniversary year should take note.
