To be fair, Eminem was wrong about techno...

He was only moderately incorrect.

Swap techno for: Rock, rap, Classic rock, Pop, Country, R&B etc etc...

Pretty much why I hate talking about music. Everyone thinks their opinion is the right one.

Hey I never said it was good, just that a lot of people ended up listening to techno.

You hate music because people have differing opinions on it? What a bizarre stance to take.

Well that's overly simplistic as you could say the same thing about cars (GM vs Ford), movies (Marvel vs DC), phones (Apple vs Android), Sports (Flames vs No Good), etc. A lot of people that carry the flag for a particular brand thinks their brand is best.

I shake my head at the hip hop my kid listens to but at the same time am fully cognizant that my father was telling me as a teen to "turn that #### off" when I had Metallica blasting. I don't care for the hip hop but maybe it's good music and simply not my cup of tea? There's a lot of variables when it comes to music as first of all there's plenty of different genres and then there's the divide by age as for example country music 25 years ago is not the same as country today. Generally I feel there's no right or wrong when it comes to music as it boils down to whatever you like as people listen to music for personal enjoyment so as long as you like what you are listening to then that's all that counts and you don't need to justify to anyone. If I think a certain song sounds terrible I may comment; "man that's awful" but it's really just my opinion at the end of the day because if it's popular that means a lot of people happen to like it. I'm typically a heavy metal/rock guy but remember having that Rebecca Black song stuck in my head (first time I am admitting this lol) for a few weeks and technically it's not a very good song but it was catchy in some strange way. Just enjoy what you like and don't be defensive if someone doesn't share the same enthusiasm for it.

Do I really have to explain? When I say "the hop hop" I mean today's hip hop. Just like saying the country as I'm referring to today's country as opposed to country a decade or two ago.

I found the incident I was thinking of - it was Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen):

Turns out it may have been staged and Em was in on the joke.

still think Spacey is a skeezy perv, but maybe not for this one case?

can't be a good sign when someone drops a civil lawsuit, as isn't the burden of proof much lower than a criminal case?

the criminal case isn't going all that well for the accuser, either.

I re-watched this after reading your post.

Ironically, "nobody listens to techno" went on to be the most overused sample in electronic music.

The now deleted scene from the 1999 film featured the character Stinky Pete the Prospector, a small, rotund, bearded toy, caught chatting salaciously to two Barbie dolls, stroking their hands and suggesting he could get them a part in the next movie.
Affects both the download and blu-ray versions.

My biggest beef with Moby wasn't even his fault, but rather the idiot at 2K that put "We Are All Made Of Stars" into a NHL2K game and didn't give the option to skip the song, turn off the music altogether, or play custom soundtracks. It was an early game, but it got to the point where when that song came on it was time to go outside and smoke weed.

still mad about the deal Alexander Acosta gave him. he's a guy who should be held accountable but never will.

man, I bet the guys who used those underage girls are really freaking out right now.

I'm probably enjoying this more than I should because it's the richest and most powerful finally getting theirs.
