i dont think that you can hate someone but a lot of their songs. anyone can make a cool song once outta 100 but still have one that u may like. Thats y i have such a wide range music intrest

um kim, you gotta edit this and maybe ask a question, but ima pose one for me. why do people hate bands? for example, i cannot hate bands, i can hate who play in them (lol) but if some of their music catches my ears i would not keep judgin th band, i would let the music talk. for example, i do not like jahiem, cuz all of his songs are about sex or marriage. i do not like r n b with that kinda vibe, but that doesnt me i dont listen to him. he actually has a good song called 'fiend feat styles p' and i listen to that cuz he gives a perfect blend of r n b and rap with style on the track
:P

Is this a question of why certain music and artists are hated or is it a general hate thread? Please be more specific with your topic kimchi24.

It's not that I can't, it's that I won't. I need to know what specific question he's asking before anything changes.

Silverskater Edit: Haha, to spare this topic from more off-topic posts, I'll edit here. False has sent kimichi a PM, and kimchi will probably see this when he comes to this thread anyway, and will likely include some sort of question to help everyone post. Anyway, some of the other posts in the thread are decent, and contribute, so let's just keep this thread moving along.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he thinks that just because a band makes crappy music all the time (your tastes) should you actually hate the band members?! I mean, they're people too...

And that's why in the band might make one good song that you don't detest, does that still make themselves bad, or just they're band playing power? That's what I got outta what he posted anyways.

Well, I have to say that I agree, but some are not so cool. I don't like band members who commit crimes and such, but I love their songs. I say split the two into their respective fields when judging the other. If someone is a "bad" person, you can hate them, but just forget about that while you listen to the music. If their music is not to your liking, one shouldn't hate any person or band just because they put forth a couple of bad albums.*

Sometimes one of my friends tells me about some song she likes. And I just don't care because I don't listen to rock. I hate it!

I remember not liking Avril before because I didn't like her first album, and I subsequently avoided conversations about her... but now that she's started coming up with much better songs, I've started saying, "I like Avril!" Generally when I say I don't like an artist/band I'm really referring to their songs, but I suppose some people might take it the wrong way...
