They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

The Offspring are awful.

Why?


No, because their music is awful.  One of their biggest hits was a Nirvana rip-off.

You do realize that Nirvana is really just a Pixies rip off, right?  Right?


Teen Spirit was, yes.  But it was a good rip-off at least.

But by your STATED STANDARD, that means that Nirvana sucks.


No it doesn't.  The Offspring sucks without the obvious "Teen Spirit" clone song.


But basically what you are admitting is that, if anything, the Pixies are responsible for the groundbreaking music, and influencing the last 25 years.  Not Nirvana.

O.o So you were complaining that someone else ripped off Teen Spirit, up-thread, which is Heinous Crime. But someone points out Teen Spirit ripped off Pixies and that's cool? Right-o.

You were expecting some form of consistency, I gather?  :lol:

I think we're all missing the most important thing here:

The Meters.

Good stuff!

See, the way it works is this:  You can hate Nirvana, or you can love Nirvana.  Either way it goes, you still have an opinion in the matter.

But if you don't like the Meters, you don't like music.  That's all there is to it.

Thanks for this. :) I gotta go to work and I'm gonna have this in my head all day. It will be awesome.

No, the "crime" was doing an awful rip-off (Offspring) compared to an awesome rip-off (Nirvana)

And yes, The Pixies definitely should be in the HOF, as well as Sonic Youth.

And of course Nirvana will get in.  Would you deny Michael Jordan entry to the NBA Hall of Fame?

:lulz:

you're such a shitsipper.

I actually like a fair amount of Nirvana's songs. But if they were an NBA player, they sure as hell wouldn't be Michael Jordan. They'd be Len Bias.
