Music is what drives me. It helps surface ideas when I'm stuck. It helps bring out the 'evil' in me when I get competitive...all in all music to me is a motivator.

ryan September 20th, 2005 5:33 PM

State your favorite band: Streetlight Manifesto, Les Savy Fav
State your favorite genre: Ska
Explain why you like music: I like the huge variety of music that exists in the world. I think it's great how everything from English rap, to American indie, to Japanese pop, to classical pieces dating back centuries can all sound so excellent, yet have almost nothing in common. Music fascinates me. I find motivation in the music that I listen to. Music is also a great way to block out dumb conversations that peope around you are having.

oni flygon September 20th, 2005 6:04 PM

Welcome to the club, guys. Talk and discuss anything music!

wishirulz September 20th, 2005 6:32 PM

well ok, why do stars of music indorse AIDS will almost every artist smokes pot? like lindsy lohan or lil jon!

oni flygon September 20th, 2005 8:19 PM

I don't think artists endorse AIDS or smoke pot... well, not all of them...

Geometric-sama September 20th, 2005 8:27 PM

* State your favorite band (up to three): Kisschasy, Silverstein, Yellowcard (probably)

* State your favorite genre (only one): Punk

* Explain why you like music besides "it sounds good" or "it displays emotion": It's something I can use to get away from the world. Music goes everywhere with you, whether it's played around you or you're creating it yourself. It's a constant companion. It's something you can bury yourself in when there's nothing else around you.

Lust September 20th, 2005 8:49 PM

State your favorite band (up to three):
Linkin Park, blink-182, The Beatles

State your favorite genre (only one):
Rap. Rock a very close second.

Explain why you like music besides "it sounds good" or "it displays emotion":

Music makes me feel something special. I don't quite know what that something is, but I like it. Sometimes when I'm frustrated I just turn up the volume and it makes me relax.

ryan September 20th, 2005 9:02 PM

So, this' just a music discussion club? We should do something bold like promoting appreciation between fans of different genres. It would save PC from all the "Rap vs. Rock" flame wars and all the "Green Day is/is not punk" threads. But anyway... right now I'm listening to "Fit but you know it" by The Streets. It's a really funny song. At least I think it is.

Ah...too true my friend. Perhaps we all could do something bout that....

Caroline September 21st, 2005 4:03 AM

My favourite genre would have to be Rock.

Explain why you like music besides "it sounds good" or "it displays emotion"
I like music because of mainly the beat and the lyrics of the music.
I love listening to music that has lyrics that can make me feel something. I don't like listening to a song when the lyrics aren't meaningful... so I like music because of at times it can have a deeper meaning that can either make me feel good or bad.
I also like music because of when some music has the tune of piano in it... I think music at times can make me feel calmer when things are going badly for me so that is another reason why I like music.

Geometric-sama September 21st, 2005 5:40 AM

Good point there, Ryan. I have to agree with you... I prefer rock to rap, but there's no reason why that should mean rap automatically sucks :)

oni flygon September 21st, 2005 4:14 PM

Welcome to the club J_A and Ivan. Caroline, could you be more specific to what kind of rock?

As for this whole rap/rock thing, both genres go fine with me, just that some forms of rock just appeal to me more. I mean, sure I listen to some Tupac or Nas... but usually my MP3 player has Nirvana or U2 in it...

And yeah, if a flame war breaks out, I can always ask Paige to separate those parts and throw them in the land of fruits and nuts...

wishirulz September 21st, 2005 4:29 PM

actualy i find that topic very disturbing sence i love rap, yet at my scOol theres no "gansta" who is friends with a skater, meaning maybe in reason closes, style that all come from the music. i say rock, pop etc... make me tired because they all sound the same to me, that what skaters maybe say about rap, i used to be Able to, i used to lisen to rock all the time but i got so bored of it (mostly 80s or 70s) i was like 9 years old wen i started lisen to rap

Sailor Chibi Lunatone September 21st, 2005 5:03 PM

State your favorite band: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan
State your favorite genre: Classic Rock
Explain why you like music: Music can help bring entertainment, even to boring situations. For example, I listen to music when I'm doing my homework, and it helps the time to go by faster. It can also keep your ears busy while you're doing something that doesn't involve sound, like browsing a forum. I'm listing to music right now. (Wierd Al Yankovic to be exact.)

ryan September 21st, 2005 5:29 PM

Has anybody else heard of the group "Ninja High School"? They crack me up. The only song that I've heard by them is called "It's Alright to Fight." They're pretty much hip-hop. (At least that's what they would most likely fall under). Would this be a place to post songs (or have links to download songs)? Or is that against rules of PC?

oni flygon September 21st, 2005 6:24 PM

I don't think it's against the rules... the music sharing thread allows it...

Sailor Chibi Lunatone: Welcome the club! Nice to see another Bob Dylan fan!

It's interesting how skating is connected to both punk (and related styles) and hip-hop, and hip-hop is related to rap, yet "gangstas" can't get along with skaters...

ryan September 21st, 2005 9:49 PM

I don't associate skaters with the hip-hop genre. I don't think this should be a club where we try to stereotype and stick different social groups into different genres. We ought to be mature enough to realize that such generalizations are unhealthy and that people can listen to whatever the hell they want to listen to. It would be disasterous to the club if our first discussion was about pointing fingers at people saying, "you're a 'gangsta' you like rap" or "you're a 'skater' you like pop-punk." That's just my two cents though. I have a thing or two more to say about this sort of prejudice if that's where the club's conversations lead...
Edit: Check your PM inboxes! I just sent you all a proposal about music distribution amongst ourselves. I think that it's a really sweet idea. It should work out well if everybody wants to contribute.

oni flygon September 22nd, 2005 5:53 PM

I agree with ryan. That's also the aims of the music club in my school - try to avoid the stereotypes and view music in a broad way.

Sailor Chibi Lunatone September 22nd, 2005 6:10 PM

Yep! I got your message! I think that's a pretty cool idea. I've got plenty of stuff to contribute, including anime and video game music!

ryan September 22nd, 2005 6:12 PM

Awesome! If you go to that e-mail inbox there are 3 songs from me waiting to be heard and discussed.

Cybex Mewtwo September 22nd, 2005 6:35 PM

I, too got that mail. If I feel like sharing some o my tunes...I'll be there.

ryan September 22nd, 2005 7:39 PM

What do you mean "if"? It's a great opportunity to get to hear different music and push the popularity of your own favorites. I strongly encourage all to take part. It won't work well if only a few take part.
