90% of everything is shit. For future reference. This is absolutely true, although I used the word "half" because I can't face all the time wasted...
Valid point.

Of the remaining 10% that isn't shit, 5% is good, but maybe not very original. There's a lot to be said for craft, though. 3% is really great and 2% is what makes it worthwhile to be alive. Or something like that.
Of the other 90%, the world used to forget it. Stuff would fade away, and only weirdo collectors and academics would remember it. The Boomers wouldn't ever let go of their childhood, and that's why there's teenagers that think all good music quit being made after 1982. That's just messed up. I hope the Millenials do better.

When all you had is offensive music and nobody is offended anymore.

Steve Albini's late '80s band Rapeman is worth a mention here - they never changed their name, mind, but were constantly dogged by protests from the expected quarters and were only together about 18 months. Anti-rape quarters?

surfinjesus, while you are here, I will take you seriously enough to reply, since you've directed a couple of potshots my way. I'll just point out that I am not a contrarian for pointing out hat Ram is a twerpy album for sissies, half of all classic rock is overhyped, overrated bullshit, and that mp3's are God's most generous gift to music ever. Ram really does blow chunks. If classic rock weren't overhyped, overrated bullshit we wouldn't even be talking about it now. mp3's have enabled me to explore music I never would have encountered otherwise, and they sure come in handy for long trips. Those are the realities of our world as I see them, and I believe in it as deeply as a faith. Nothing contrarian about it, it is all based on simple logic. And believe it or not, there are more of us than you will ever dream in your worst nightmares. Politics? I've never discussed them here, there, or anywhere else besides a few potshots at Trump, the alt-right, and old fuddy duddy fake-conservative reactionary bullshitters. But if you really wanna know... I'm not much of a libertarian politically, although I suppose I am a social libertarian more than anything else. I live how I want and you can live how you want as long as we don't fuck up others' lives. Fiscally, I am more like a Blue Dog Democrat than anything else I guess, although I would never associate with any group with such a sappy name as that. Maybe I am a Goldwater conservative with a weird FDR streak fiscally? Something like that. Nothing contrarian there either. I believe that sticking to a budget creates wealth, whether you are an individual or a nation, and that the government is responsible for the health and well being of all its citizens. Call me crazy, but that's how I think. But I never talk about any of that shit, because talking about politics bores me to tears. I belong to neither party, although I do vote. I think the more important question is: if I am a libertarian contrarian, wouldn't that make you an authoritarian sheeple? One is way cooler than the other, let's put it that way. I'm also a loyal team player; I wouldn't take potshots at a fellow forumer, especially here, unless he swings at me first. You're placing way too much importance on your political leanings and it was sort of obvious that you're a bit clueless with that "Trump fuck your stock market" quote, as the stock market has very little to do with presidents, whether bull or bear market. That 5% pullback was due to the fed finally releasing their interest rate numbers and derivatives and VIX had already accounted for it. So maybe take that shit back to the rest of the retards at /r/politics that think they know something about the stock market but really don't. It doesn't matter if you're blue, gray, or a libertarian with a stick up the dick.

I was just trying to make sense of why he would call me "libertarian", Champ. His comment made no fucking sense, and I was trying to illustrate that. I posted "Fuck your stock market", because it dropped 1100 points that fucking day, and I lost some sizable money that day. Sorry if you were offended that I blamed Trump for it. It was a fucking joke, pinhead. But I made my money back in the next few days anyway, in case you were worried. I don't need lessons on derivitives and VIX, genius. ( Ooh! You know so much about the stock market!! Tell me about interest rates too!) Are you really this fucking stupid that you wanna turn this into an issue? Why don't you take your shit elsewhere?

Heheheh, maybe. I don't claim to be popular; I know my hijinx piss people off, they are supposed to. But politics seems to be the bug up his ass. Looking over his past poats, he seems to be a SHite who wandered over here because he was butthurt about one of his poats being Gorted.
I just am surprised anybody could have been offended by my stock market comment in the Trump thread; it was one of the milder critiques there.
