Ahem, he uses samples from all over the place. Listen to something other than Rossz :>Kekkles said:
Anyway, yes, Venetian Snares has been criticised as meaningless noise by a few of my friends. They claim it has no beat because it isn't in 4... makes sense.
I love techno. The kind I listen to is more simulated sounds than simulated instruments (Think Portal 2 over Deadmau5). I like the sound of everything jumbled up together, like playing a bunch of songs at once. However, this can be passed off as random computer sounds, and people generally don't like it. On the other hand, if I play it loud enough, it keeps people away from my house.
I can't think of any music that I like that would be considered meaningless by any stretch of the imagination... Also, I was going to listen to the video you have there and comment on how, while I don't like it, it has some value...
It really doesn't. Sorry. :/

How doesn't it have value? It qualifies as music, and I know several people who love this band and who's lives have been enriched by it.theemporer said:
My mom will occasionally make a remark like "I don't see why anyone would actually buy a game soundtrack" (this was when I got the Halo 2 soundtrack for a couple of bucks at a library sale), and I immediately want to point out all the game music that she would actually like.
Oh... I listened to it again and realised that I can't make out the lyrics because they're speaking another language...Arkhangelsk said:
Sorry, that was a mistake, I can't pass judgement on it without knowing the language it's in.
But....but....they're awesome! That's one of my favorite songs by them, and "no lyrics"? They need to be slapped.Ulfrick said:
OT: I was listening to Corelli's Christmas Concerto once and I was told it was crap and stupid. Apparently he didn't like it because it's old and is boring, and "if it doesn't have guitars, I'm not interested."
I would've hit him but he moved away fast enough after the look I shot him.
Anything that's not country or stuff from before the metal scene is "noise" to my dad.
Personally, I think all music, whether I like it or not, is more than just noise.
Although... Bathroy Else-whatever-the-hell-it-is by SUN 0))) is definitely a qualifier. Such a strange song...
Rumor has it they locked a claustrophobic fellow in a coffin and recorded it, and set it to drone metal.

OT: This Kesha girl. Her music is just unbearable. It's amazing you can make a song out of a useless phrase. I think she uses the same beat/melody for every song, too.
Terrible...
Music I like? Persona 3 or 4. This stuff is gold.
Different music appeals to different people for different reasons. I generally don't let other peoples' opinions bother me too much.
Pretty much every band I like. Metalhead right here.
I'll link one song in particular that I've been called out on. I don't like this song that much, but some of the instrumentation is kind of catchy. I only had it on at the time though because Windows Media Player was playing through my library and I didn't realise it had moved onto Mors Principium Est. I was concentrating on other things at the time. One of my mum's now-exes walked in while I was listening to it, he said something along the lines of "What's that noise?" I said music, he gave me a look and the usual "That's music?!". Yeah.
That was an unnecessarily long description on what happened. Basically, this song:
I usually listen to more melodic stuff than that, so I don't get that much hassle for it my taste when people actually hear it, but still more than is comfortable.
