Let’s face it.
There is some bad taste in music around us.
Have you ever felt like going and waiting at the entrance of one of those concerts for teen-agers… (you know, where you find all girls going crazy for the last band of unknown good-looking guys) …just to shout out loud that they have bad taste in music and should not attend such concert?
Well, there is people who took this SO seriously they decided to GO DO IT because… well, it’s SO goddamn self-explaining… we all share the same planet… like a good-music missionary man, someone HAD to do something for the good of mankind…
Go check the footage archive and take good example from the action of this genius.

Yes, dangerous indeed
If you look at all the videos you’ll notice that there is more than one person that looks on the brink of violence.
On my side this is good. I mean, it’s a clear sign of reaction
If you exclude people having business deals with the incriminated groups… I’d say that those “reacting” are indeed those who have bad taste in music due to their passive absorbing “social” pressure (radio, tv, etc)
Other mindset are, instead, leading other people to laugh out loud…
Well, one of the arguments a fan brought back against the bad-tast jury:
Everyone has the right to enjoy life he as / she can and if you don’t like it, that’s your choice but by just judging others for their taste is one of the lowest things you can do. So if you got a problem with anyone else’s taste then just go f**** yourself
That’s the spirit i like
To be honest, I agree with Vvois on this one.
Yeah, sure, going nuts over a band for the hype and obsession of it all seems nuts to many of us out there who imagine ourselves as having a totally independent musical taste based on nothing but common sense… But they have fun! So, we self-richous dudes and dudettes with “good” taste CAN most definetly go f**** ourselves if we decide to impose “good” taste on them! On the other hand, don’t people have the RIGHT to say that the music is crap? If the little screamers can’t take it, well we all know what they can do.
Ah, well. Time to watch the videos. This will be fun!
Oh, and I think mass-produced boy/girbands are crap. Musical syndicates that decide what music WILL be on the charts are crap, and hype is crap. So there!!
Well what can I say, the guy doesn’t only have good taste of music but also a good sence of humor
I just read some additional information…
According to the Science magazine, the latest research show that 99.9% of musicians not using Renoise have bad tast in music programs…
So you all guys here have good taste in music programs…
You can think at the whole thing as a giant experiment in movie-making… where people does not know they’re taking part to a movie.
There is this character. A bad guy… provoking people.
What this guy is doing is not even 0.1 % of what the industry does every day with radio and tv propaganda… in a different way.
Everybody agree that there is a whole lot of commercial music around. Everyone agree that it’s crap. Everyone agree that no artist can be really, in the end, guilty for making money out of his crappy music and no radio can be really guilty for they just broadcast the music that is produced.
Where is the fault?
The point is that commercial music is “pushed” in certain ways.
In certain situations, with certain people, you don’t like what you like… you start to like what you “know”… and you know what you hear everyday.
Nobody like to think he’s been influenced. I can understand that.
But not liking that does not means not being under that certain pressure.
The guy does not really hit the spot with the site’s slogan because he does a matter of bad taste out of this story while the point is rather a matter of “lack of personal taste” but maybe he did that on purpose to provoke.
The smart way he speaks makes it clear he’s not a -serious- weirdo… -seriously- mad at people… but rather some sort of logical character in a script… strong of his camera, recording the event for his own “cinematic” purpose.
I can’t despite such playfull experiments.
No, because saying something “is” sets as a statement while the person may not be informed enough or qualified to set such a statement.
people have the right to say they find certain music crap, in that case it’s just their own opinion.
In this world a lot of people confuse the difference between a statement and an opinion. That’s what’s causing the strong arguments and fights.
Agree. The point is that I am free to state that -I- don’t like something or that I think that something is not good.
That’s why I said I don’t like the turn it takes with the slogan… he makes a matter of bad taste out of a matter of all other nature.
He hits the spot when he goes like “it’s not your fault” talking about the media.
Anyone here saw “men on the moon”?
Well maybe I have to agree to some extent, its never good with people telling others what to think.
Anyway it might have been even more funny if he also went to classical and opera concerts etc…
I see what you mean
But in that case he should not invite people not to attend the concert at all… but rather something more related to the cultural pressure around it… I would rather invite people to leave their neckties at the entrance and wear a pair of All Stars…
If you want to see something funny… try this one…:
(It’s pretty famous but still rulez…)

Hmmz, only know “Man on the moon” with Jim Carey, i think it was one of his better performances.
Yeah, I think the lack of that exposes him for what he is - an arrogant cowardly bully. Harrassing teenagers is funny to him, whereas harassing grown-ups is out of his league.
Hum, what’s next… Somebody going to a noise-concert or techno-party telling the people the music is crap? C’mon, opera and classical has nothing to do with the point of the whole thing, you COULD argue that it’s hailed as “top culture” but really is just crap, but that’s a hollow argument… Oh, and I really enjoy classical, eat me!
Anyway, Vvois, you got me wrong back there. I mean, he has THE right to say that the music is crap. Not that he’s correct in any way, really. I agree with the slogan being nothing but provocative, but I really want that t-shirt!!!
Just as some ironic statement. I have taste, you don’t.
And Bantai: f**** you too.
edit.
about my avatar, before anybody asks (or even cares), that’s not lepra, it’s duct tape. Or something.
Funny, I was going to ask about avatar and you beat me to it. Looks quite funny - I think sagosen would win some sort of avatar award for the ones he’s had over the last 6 months, really entertaining changes. We should have an avatar compo?
OT: I’m not sure ‘taste’ is a quantifiable thing. “Good music” certainly is something objective though. It just takes a while to scout it out, and 99% of people once they hear it go “wow”. Irrespective of genre, sales or fame.
People who listen to stuff like Nickleback or Eminem just haven’t had time to look around for good stuff yet, so the inane pop is quite emotional enough for them at that point. That’s why it’s often kids who like that stuff, or impressionable teenages. However, if you show a 3 year old “good music” they will know it straight away. It’s all a matter of access. Not ‘taste’. Once people start talking about ‘taste’ everything gets overly ideological. Then you get your ‘stick in the muds’.
There should be a website that helps people to find “good music” instead of insulting them for not looking widely enough.
And a website for “Insane Avatars”!
Name me one song that 99% of people like.
Expecting you mean 99% of the people listen to the radio…
don’t know if they really like it, but do know which songs move 99% of the people to buy it…
“We are the world” is one of those titles that was bought massively around the globe…
If you really want to score, bring out music in China and Japan.
Even if only 0.02% of the total inhabitats buy it, you’re still a millionaire
the worst thing about commercial music, according to me, is that it has not “memory”: I mean, today the sweet teen shouts and cries for the Name-him mainstream star.
Next week, she shouts and cries for a new (new?) one, which actually looks (and sounds) like the last one.
Is there really so much need for such a massive load of new stuff each week?
Every week, indeed, the radios broadcast the same 10 songs each day, then other 10 songs come in the week after.
Instead of playing the same 10 songs in loop, wouldn’t it be better to play the, say, 100.000 good pop songs which have been already released in the past, plus one new, now and then?
It’s not really true that people have bad tastes in music: it’s more true that they simply do not have any taste at all.
Being able to consciously say “I don’t like this” is becoming more and more difficult these days.
Now, will I dress up as Optimus Prime, or as Lara Croft?
No match!
Optimus Prime, of course.
but as an offhand suggestion. Wouldn’t it be funny, if when you make a bunch of mistakes inside of renoise, that after some point it paints a giant penis on the screen? just one from out of the second, there and gone, in a flash… so the user is like, “WTF?!” eheheh, even in serious software, I appreciate a good sense of humor. Though I would understand if the devs don’t want to push those boundaries.
An offhand suggestion? Really?
