Villain_S_Fiend 03/02/25 3:15:59 PM #21:	Despite my love for avant-garde/abstract/pretentious styles in music (Bowie, Beefheart/Zappa, Mr. Bungle, etc.), I find the vast majority of abstractionism in visual arts boring, and frequently off-putting in its pretentiousness. For example, I was looking at a Mondrian on a visit to the museum, and the description told how the piece had sat in his studio for something like three years, as he labored over something about it - then he had a "eureka" moment and changed the color of one small square and declared it complete. My eyes rolled so hard I nearly fell into the lily pond on the opposite wall. --- The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself. <cite>Villain_S_Fiend posted [p:984224981] in Which popu...

archizzy 03/02/25 3:52:04 PM #34:	That would be pretty much a ton of artists newer than 2000 but it is low hanging fruit for an old guy to not like newer music. So with that said I stay stuck in the past and sure there are bands I don't connect with or care for but it is rare for me to flat out dislike someone to the point where I need to turn the channel any time I hear them. There is a band that fits that criteria for me. Kiss. I just am baffled they are so popular. Great marketers and salesman I will give them that. And for what it is worth I have nothing against them personally and for full disclosure I even watched that show Gene Simmons had in the past called Family Jewels that showed his home life and I think he is honestly a fairly normal and grounded person. Sure he has a high opinion of himself and his band but overall he seemed like a pretty decent dad and somewhat normal person. But fuck me I just think their music sucks so much. The other band that almost fits into that category too is U2. Just not a fan. They aren't to the level of Kiss though.
