I mean, there's lots of dullard newbies coming in now and ruining it all with threads about the Butterfly Effect and shit. Zzzzz.

milo  said about 5 years ago:

WTF? Who made you the boss of M&N??


montyclift  said about 5 years ago:

hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

Danny.


anonymous  said about 5 years ago:

least butterfly effect is about music...


mathieson  said about 5 years ago:

I thought the dumbing down of M+N began when you started getting on threads and posting stuff like "That sucks!" and "Band X is shit".


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

angelic_layer  said about 5 years ago:

littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

Barman  said about 5 years ago:

ahhh, littlearch, you know who they are!


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

haha no, rach.


Barman  said about 5 years ago:

you'll always be arch to me!


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

some emo kid said:
imago is the album of the year by far.
*so heavy and emotional at the same time.*
it is an amazing work of art by one of the most amazing bands in the country. it proves that you don't need arty weirdness to make true art, just passion and awesome lyrics.
*butterfly effect will rule4eva, i think.*


hahahahah!!!


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

thank you barman - i'd rather be arch than emo


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

But yeah: this thread is timely.


Barman  said about 5 years ago:

emo = the arch enemy of music everywhere


MyBlackHeartPain  said about 5 years ago:

i am not an emo kid, and i don't see how talking about the butterfly effect is dumbing things down.

to say that is just snobbery.


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

worksafe you need a fucking slapping.


astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

hey guys, please! dont get angry, get emotional! it works for all those bands making how much fucking money off it?


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

'eloquent post about how awesome a band is' >>>> 'imago is the album of the year by far. so heavy and emotional at the same time. it is an amazing work of art by one of the most amazing bands in the country. it proves that you don't need arty weirdness to make true art, just passion and awesome lyrics. butterfly effect will rule4eva, i think.'


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

dude, yr name is myblackheartpain - yr either emo or yr taking the piss


Digital  said about 5 years ago:

is emo worse than nu-metal? I don't think i've heard much 'emo' stuff but i'm sure freaking glad that nu-metal has become a whole less prevalent in society these days.


hillsonghoods  said about 5 years ago:

not really, worksafe.

there's always been idiots on m&n. witness BADALEX. what this place is missing so far, though, is a massive theoretical disputation about the nature of the world, ideally between myself, modi, passions and lokihanns (or other smart young things).


milo  said about 5 years ago:

some numetal was OK


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

hey loady


hillsonghoods  said about 5 years ago:

emo is music for teenagers, onion. teenagers aren't dumb, they're just angsty.

hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

Kristy  said about 5 years ago:

meh, different strokes for different folks.

as long as people are talking music im happy, australian music is better.

the threads that dumb the site down are

"Hey modi"
"Littlerach answer your pms!"
"I feel like..."
"hiponion sucks balls"
"fuck you"

etc.


anonymous  said about 5 years ago:

Kristy's right.


milo  said about 5 years ago:

Inactivist  said about 5 years ago:

Don't force it, hillsong. Let the philosophising come naturally.

Ah, fuck, force it. Start a thread.


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

hillsonghoods  said about 5 years ago:

damselfly  said about 5 years ago:

horses for courses. m & n needs new blood and diversity. don't like the title don't read it. leave it for people who do.


holyrattlesnakes  said about 5 years ago:

I think beret's trying to get himself into one of those de-gaying camps which loony Christians run, in the belief they'll make him sit in a room full of hot naked chicks.


the power of 666  said about 5 years ago:
