So today, my friend turned on some techno in enlgish class. As soon as I heard it I asked him politely to turn it off, then he just turns to me and says "at least this is music, not like that rock you listen to". It ended up breaking into an argument, his 3 big complaints were "at a party you can't dance to rock" another was "in rock music videos there aren't any half naked girls" and the other one "all rock is, is some idiot screaming into a mic". My response to this was "a monkey could make techno, it takes no talent at all, but for rock you need to be good at an instrument, not a pushing a button". After it was all over my friend turns to his girlfriend and says "are you gonna back me up?" she then responded "no, I agree with him".
So since when is rock not considered music?


no worries Bro, you won :D

The guy obviously doesn't know much about music to dismiss rock as non-music.To most people computer generated techno-pop is unlistenable.The statement that you can't dance to rock is totally out to lunch,people have been dancing to rock since it's inception in the 50s,his girlfriend would do well to ditch such an opinionated and argumentive twit.Anyone who makes such an indefensable statement is either trying to incite an argument or is simply simple.

Tape a bunch of 80s videos of some pretty bad hairbands with some of the hottest chicks he will ever lay eyes on and then ask him are they not dancing.

People who can't play or don't have the capacity to learn an instrument make dumb $@! statements like that. I agree with the boys', you gotta steal his girl. Get some concert tix and inviter her!

You need to take his girl to a rock concert (you do not have to get the hots for her) so she can tell this emo techno mosh pit bobble-head ipod wannabe musical impresario that she got to hear some REAL musicians play some REAL music. But don't be too hard on the lad... he's no doubt a candidate for the short bus and might wet himself. :wink:

:lol: :lol:
