The Wheel is Forever
This is hilarious. Music is not an engineering diagram where you dissect it to see if its made properly. Music is supposed to evoke an emotional response and basically, to sound good. I "judge" music based on whether I like listening to it. That might be a shocker to you though.C_C said:Do you understand music theory to be pronouncing such a judgement ?
Do you know what is and isnt a balanced piece of music, whats a decatonic or do-decatonic scale to make that pronouncement ?
Or do you consider yourself knowledgable about music simply because you listen to any number of vocally mismatched, scalarly inconsistent and tonal distorted trash that plays mostly on the radio ?
If you dont understand music, you have no business trying to judge music !
I don't give a crap whether it is 'properly constructed', I'll leave that to you, as Mr. Culture. As a simple barbarian brute, I will listen to music only if I like hearing it.
But of course, unlike the Mr. Culture's of the world, I don't really judge people on whether they like Chardonnay.
Its a separate issue, but I don't agree with that either.C_C said:Test cricket is one of the few sports i can think of - badminton would be another. But in general, i am not much into sports so i dont care much about it.
As per propping up unpopular sports with taxpayer's money - well they'r already doing it with arts and as i explained to you, with good cause.
Why would badminton serve the needs of society?C_C said:Your tax money is NOT something on which you have absolute say,
given that it serves the society as much as it serves you,if not more tilted towards society.
It wouldn't really be C_C without attacks on America, now would it?C_C said:Again - expected. Very American, very crude and very blaize. Much like most of your country. Culture is what you described above. But much much more than that as well.
Its the celebration of all the worthwhile accomplishments of man- which given how common your 'sell me mum' types are, is few and far between.
Culture is also the sum total of philosophical and artistic heritage of a nation. Given that your nation doesnt understand the concept of heritage very well and is extremely illiterate about its own heritage
Oooh, I'm a immigrant 'wannabe' (whatever that means). Thats some impressive powers of analysis, Mr. Culture. I gotta hand it to you, you have me pegged.C_C said:( i dont blame them honestly- if my country was as stark historically as your's i'd not be very inclined to learn about it) and given that you'r a quintessential immigrant/2nd gen 'wannabe', i dont expect you to understand these nuances either.
