i find genres useless anyway

music is fucking music

even when i say i hate country, that's a lie, because a lot of johnny cash's stuff is pretty tight

the mentality of using genres to "help find music you like" promotes closed-mindedness

and what's funny is that all of the bands that jim considers metal (black sabbath, and i believe he mentioned iron maiden and judas priest), i consider them metal too--not to mention the "big four"

it's just when i listen to tool
i hear very similar sounds and very similar techniques used between them and the seven other bands mentioned

so i say... yeah, tool is metal
if you want to get specific, call it progressive metal, because as far as i know, the "progressive" label just means an attempt to bring artistic merit to whatever genre you're attaching it

it's not rock, because rock is too soft
tool is not soft
it's not fucking anal cunt
but it's not fucking buddy holly or chuck berry either

you didn't even do that though lol

all you can say is that it isn't metal

and then link a bunch of bands that ARE metal (which sound exactly like tool by the way) and try to use that as an argument

and then say that a song like vicarious is in the same genre as a song like comfortably numb (progressive rock)
which is THE dumbest thing, ever
OK
your problem is that you're not articulate enough (or at all, to be frank)

you obviously don't know any technical terms that would help you describe the sounds that you hear when listening to whatever the fuck you consider metal, and what you hear when you listen to tool

if you did, it would be a cinch to draw the line between them, but because you don't, you can't articulate anything--all you can say is "my opinion is right because i studied music history for years"

which helps no one

because i think it's sad how a music expert such as yourself cannot even explain how tool is apparently not metal

The fact that you keep referring to Tool because of that one thread is retarded, and just makes you look butthurt because you got owned in it. God, you're retarded.
here was that thread

"tool is not metal because tool is not metal"

wow
ownage

and fuck it, i'll add death note too

i know i denounced it in that other thread, but reading some of the stuff about it on tv tropes, maybe it could be worthwhile

*auspicious

and that's a shame
i discovered it through this video and the monologue made it look intriguing

and then you spoiled it for me

i don't let spoilers affect my enjoyment though
i think i'll add it to the queue, whatever

Ayy Verb, you okay with movies instead of shows?
yeah

i said earlier that movies are actually preferable, because it's a one-and-done type deal

miyazaki doesn't count though
'cause they're designed to be accessible to... everyone

i'll take your stuff into consideration, thank you

Really? Interesting. I liked it too, but I don't hear about the movie very often from people, let alone that they enjoyed the ending.
Strange. It's generally considered one of the best movies ever made.
Well, neat. It makes me happy that people generally know what makes a good movie.

I confess almost everything. There is nothing of substance to confess.
veganism fucking SUCKS

but you should do it anyway
except it's not a "real" confession, you moron

i've expressed my dissatisfaction with my diet in the past, but i've never really outright said it
figured this was the best place to do so

the nice thing about ghost in the shell, at least, is that it's a movie, and i can just watch it and get it done

the problem with series is that they tend to be too long
and filler is a bitch

so, ghost in the shell and... psycho pass.
i think i'll watch akira as well, because i've been told it's like... gateway

Ghost in the shell
i knew someone was gonna say that

looking at the poster, i already know i probably won't like it

give me a short synopsis, if you'd please
and this better be good

Hmm, this sounds like a decent challenge.

Can you give a rough spectrum of your tastes in other mediums? Films/Books etc.
i like "intellectual" stuff
stuff that makes you think
psychological thrillers

think anything directed by david fincher

the overall tone is serious
not necessarily dark and gloomy, but serious--that means absolutely NO moeshit, or i will shred you

the best shows will introduce to me new philosophies, mindsets, or ask me questions i've never really asked myself before (maybe that's aiming too high--i'm quite the philosophical person, and i'm always asking myself strange questions)

Probably the hardest part of this request...

Well... and the dub part. I don't understand that. I mean, you watch foreign films in foreign, right? Like, if I ever saw you watching the Britbong dubbed Das Boot, I'd slap you.
siiiiiiigh

fine, subs too, that's honestly a fair point
as long as none of the female voices give me tetanus

as for the streaming, i mean, how do most weeaboos watch their anime?... torrents? fuck that shit
that's non-negotiable
