here we go, the third one!

Rock - Old and new, Metal, Punk, Light rock, indie etc.

Rap - Old and New, electro, drum and bass, rap, gangster rap etc.

Neither - anything else, like classical or folk?

Rap/Techno together doesn't make much sense, does it?

Well, i don't listen to it, so i wouldn't know

Are pointless polls going to become a regular thing with you?

Can I ask you to please never use the term 'indie' ever again, it is a method of prduction/promotion that has been incorectly used as a label for a genre of music which should be known as 'post-punk revival'.

I don't listen to it, either but I still know that rap and techno are very different. And shouldn't you have done some research before starting a poll? Even if it's just a random one like this.

Oh, how witty. You turned my argument back on me. Takes real intellect to come up with such a gem of a comeback. Touché, good sir. Touché.

well, if you think my innocent polls are pointless, don't take the time to click on them and make a stupid comment.

Okay, then I will ask instead.

Is this thread anything other than pointless spam, that shouldn't be posted on the LFS forum?

Hence why I asked if this is going to be a regular thing. Because if it is I want to welcome you to my ignore list. I'm so sick and ****ing tired of having to wade through metric shittonnes of pointless spam like this thread in the vain hope of stumbling over a thread of the quality this forum was once known for.

It's not ment to be considered as spam, i was just curious as what the community listen to , no harm in that.

And i only said what i said because im sick and tired with the way people act on these forums. No respect.

"Techno" is also an incorrect term.

Techno is subgenre of electronica/dance music, not a general term for anything that goes doosh doosh doosh

The problem is that it's a thread that's been posted for the sake of posting a thread. You didn't give any thought to the poll options, you just felt like starting a thread and you did so. It's spam, basically, and it's not what this forum is here for.

Perhaps we'll get a really good and interesting discussion about music genres going. That would create some value to the thread. It's going to take something like that to turn things around and save this thread, tbh.

ROCK AND METAL FTW!!!
Those are the best things that happened to the world since people actually started to think that orchestra music and opera were (enormously) boring. Then came rock, Hendrix, concerts and metal.

That's what i was trying to do, i just made a few mistakes. Im probably one of the youngest people on this forum and i have'nt been here very long. But i see your point and i'll try to think more about my next poll (if i
do anymore)

well, i was mostly interested in rock v rap, because i get alot of grief from having long hair and listening to metal ("OMGZ YOO IZ EMO BWAII!1!!!!11") and i just wanted to see what the LFS community thought, that option was added for those who listen to neither.

I don't know if you have heard of the chavs, over here in england. But they're just like wannabe gangsters that live off petty crime and so on, and listen to that kind of music (rap etc.). It's literally just because i look different, and have different tastes. If they didnt have such a problem with me i probably wouldn't ascossiate them with those genres of music.

Metal rules. There is nothing better in my opinion. However I don't like all this New Metal shit. All I can here is so randome guy screeming his head of.
I like old school Metal, mostly from the 80's. Such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Gun's N Roses ect.

Music > Rap

I was listening to rap when I was young and stupid (16-18 years old or so) I remember that the "old town" part of Riga was very territorial between rap and metal listeners. So, I guess it's natural everywhere for that sort of rivalry (correct word?) to happen... I do believe it's quite stupid to pretend to be a "gangsta from the ghetto" while you aren't, but that's not the point. If they call you "emo" and so on, you should prove them wrong... a nice punch in the face usually works

I love House and Electro, but I can't vote because its paired with cRap.

I agree with that. House and electro house are awesome. So is techno. Some hip-hop is okay as well. IMO But, trance and rap not so much.

Guns 'n' Roses are metal?

Nah, take it back 10 years further, Sabbath, Deep Purple occasionally Zeppelin too. Thats proper metal, I have to agree that most modern metal is shit though.

There's also nothing like a bit of The Smiths to cheer you up on a rainy Monday morning.
