Again, were talking about children. Not saying its something to be respected
children are very intelligent in the world.
When I was 5 years old I was listening to very intelligent popular compositions such as
you didn't have muslim parents, that's why.

@other_life how old are you? What was popular with the kids in the midwest? In inner city schools in dallas texas you either liked my chemical romance or lil wayne.
I mean, you'd get a fucking bollocking for listening to NWA or Eminem or even 50cent on the speakers, but that was because of the swears. Such uncouth language is unwelcome in a muslim household, until you learn to, for instance, call your cousin the smelliest excrement of the 7 ancestors of his donkey father. So yeah, keep the swears and the angry screaming guitars in the headphones.
My mum loves Tina Turner despite knowing nothing about western music whatsoever. Beauty must be taught to Amrikan children.

you wouldn't be called Ola or Farzid or Winston or Jordan at my school and be into metal. You would be called like George or William. Even your tash's and gabbie's and Steph's would be into funky house, garage, that sort of thing with the more 4da ladies end of hip hop. and of course they all loved Brandy and Missy.

same age bracket same general region (most of my life), same kind of 'scooped' musical landscape with kids, people liked much worse than mcr and lil wayne but also both seem 'representative' of that era. made shoegaze and 'albums' era warp mistranslate as cooler + more important than they actually were; in the bay skate rates still liked hyphy and screw music and were early OF adopters but a) didn't have the context to appreciate that until later b) same kids also listened to guitar music and had awful taste in same. i think our specific demographic loves jungle but can't relate to it as a popular music + has never been part of any kind of 'massive' [ie, it's always being mediated by idm + soundtrack music and conceived of as an escape from the cul de sac of 'indie vs. pop']
'My wife wants to give our child a matching first and last name - it's idiotic'
A couple expecting a child together come to blows over the baby name, as the wife refuses to allow the husband any say in the matter, but the husband thinks his wife's choice is 'terrible'

Most confusing thread on this site.
No one has the right to call me an obscurantist ever again.
The thread is supposed to be about indie rock. I see no indie rock in any post in the whole thread.
Previously, I was harrassed for posting indie rock. But hey, thirdform seemed to like it!
If you don't like TV on the Radio, you have no right to ever criticize my taste in music, or probably anything at all.
TV on the Radio were the Bad Brains of the 2000s.

100% correct. I never heard indie before I started listening to John Peel which I only did 'cos of reading NME, because they put Def Jam on the cover.
prerhaps indie's impossible to get into unless you can accept the structures of pre mid 20thC anglo/british isles folk song, or at least the derived appalachian song form. the genre seems like a studio superstructure built over those foundations, like it's defined by absence of swing, blues or jazz elements.
My point was that black music - particularly the more obscure stuff was anti-hegmonic in and of itself because it didn't dominate the airwaves. This is separate from the aesthetics which with a lot of soul was pretty bougie and upwardly mobile. It had a urban black listenership in London (as did reggae) and crossed over to a lot of white people, following black cool as white people tend to do.
