nah, dude, im chill.
isipin mo nalang, for all our squabbling, at the end we will come out better people as long as we don't take things personally.
and i really don't intend to bash anyone, not you, not pop. i left my ignorance in highschool.
i think valid rin naman yung gripe ng not just metal, but other forms of music as a whole. i'm sure you know that maraming magagaling na blues and soul bands dito who don't get a chance at all because the labels only want pop. its not because insecure sila, they rant because people don't take risks, people dont give them the chance to be heard when kitang-kita naman sa abroad na PWEDENG kumita ang iba't-ibang forms of music mabigyan lang ng chance. sinosikat had their final mixes altered by their label to be more "pop". its not because of insecurity.
dito sa pilipinas maraming baduy na pop. (my opinion) and pop rules the airwaves. (fact) its an inevitable occurence that people will want something other than pop. most will be content with pop.
tama ka, this thread boils down to a matter of opinion specially when you have terms that can be interpreted in different ways.
so ayun naman pala e, if you're not insecure about your taste in music, wag mo nalang pansinin yung mga "metal dapat koya!" at mga "sellout sellout dapat rakizta koya!" who may or may not realize na medyo mali yung mentality nila. some people don't know any better.
and once again, i'm a lover of pop music, metal, rock...music in general. i like the spice girls, toto, erasure, the deftones, tool, protest the hero, etc.
Sikat = Pop = Baduy? Disagree. Disproven. Case closed?
Adjourn?
