Rock or Hop?

OH GOD!!!! ITS FEMA!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you've actually done something wrong, there's no reason to be afraid, Meta. So I'm pretty sure anyone who's ever said anything negative about America falls under that.

LOL
My favs, People who contradict the government without fear.

why would anyone fear voicing their opinion nowadays?
people do it all the time.
I'm not afraid to say I don't like what the government is doing (I just don't, because I agree with it this time around)

SOAD
GreenDay
Paramore
Sum 41
Blink 182
The Killers
Steve Miller Band

The Killers/SOAD I agree with, they're awesome
However Green Day just sucks nowadays.  HEY I KNOW THREE CHORDS ON THE GUITAR GUYS LET'S MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM!  Dookie was awesome.  Basket Case etc... but nowadays they're just making music for the money from all the emo fangirls.  Also Sum 41 and Blink 182 sing counter-conformist music for the same reason: to get 'nonconformist' teens looking to rebel against nothing to listen to them.  I don't find much quality in their music.  And never heard of SMB.

Emo music = Emo music.

It's not really a political statement if there is nothing you actually do to protest. Music is great, but your actions, not your words, make the biggest impact. Counter-conformist music used to be a way to get yourself noticed and to say what you think, but it's the bands YOU PEOPLE listen to that make political statements in music a common thing. Let me ask you this: what are YOU going to do about what the government does wrong? You can listen to your music and complain or you can shut up and go make a difference. There is a difference between those people and you: you think you're counter-conformist, yet you just don't want to be mainstream. They have something to say. I've yet to hear anything actually constructive come out of your mouth, just anti-authoritarian bullshit.

Well just voicing your opinion can be considered protest unto itself.  So yes I agree it's a lot better to actually do something, but I think making one's voice heard is far from useless.

What do you mean, "you people"?

I voted this year in the election.  I researched and watched the debates, formed my opinion and made my (small and insignificant) voice heard.  It might not seem like much, but I feel a lot better about making my stance clear when I had a say in who is in office.

That was all towards Meta.

I realize this, I was just saying that I disagree that just speaking one's mind is useless.

He's an anarchist. No person could ever be an anarchist who sits at home an listens to music. In general speaking your mind is protest, but you can't be an anarchist who doesn't do anything.

[fugibo]

He's not really speaking his mind, though. He's more "OOH!!!!!!!!! LET'S OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT CUZ THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!111" without any real opinion in there, just "they suck."

You know, socialism sucks. Doesn't my opinion make enough sense to cause the entire world to go capitalist?

I don't think MK understands what anarchy really means.

I wanted to celebrate my 400th post by posting in a retarded thread..

Congrats MK.

[Tazero]

Sick of you Rose all you do is insult you have anything constructive to say about this thread? Sick of your pointless posts, on that note, you fail.

[fugibo]

Rose is banned. He's no longer here anyways, even if your pointless post would've done anything.

[Tazero]

[fugibo]

Nice to know what?

While we do not show users being in a Banned group, you can easily find out if someone is banned if they are not online anymore (Or their activity ceases) and then check the Banned and Deleted Accounts thread.

Back to Rock or Hop...if there really is anything to talk about.
