Reason 991233442238 why "Punx" are morons[views:13919][posts:112]_________________________________________________ [May 26,2005 9:53am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] On BYOFL I found a kid that books crust, hardcore, Thrash, and the like. I told him my band was cerebral and sent him some links. He replied "I don't know what you heard, but I don't book bands that are 'cerebral'. Try www.popculturecoffeehouse.com" I can see he listened to even one song. Yeah! I love being drunxpunx |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:09am - RustedAngel ""] punks are fags. |
| ______________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:29am - Josh_Martin ""] If you only want to book thrash, why would you bother listening to a band that describes itself as cerebral? That just screams "coffee house faggot" which is why you got the response you did. I would hit delete sooooo fast if I got that. That kid probably gets links to horribly innappropriate bands all the time. If you want someone to listen to you, give them a reason. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 10:35am - dan. ""] hahahah thats actually a pretty funny response. im not even trying to be a dick by asking this, but are you describing your band as cerebral to say that your music is intelligent? i dont even understand what that means. cerebral-core? does your band play their instruments with their minds?

| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:52pm - dan.

| __________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:56pm - soloman ""] i just curious what it means to be a cerebral band. Does this describe the sound? Or is it more of a theme sorta thing. |
| ________________________________ [May 26,2005 12:58pm - dan. ""] i think its sort of like when a shitty band gets their cousin to play violin for them and decide to call themself epic. in that it probably could apply to a band, but not this one. but i cant wait for the explanation |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:00pm - Josh_Martin ""] I don't think Napalm Death was stupid. They also didn't go around telling everyone how not-stupid they were. Saying "look at us and how smart we are" is the most gayest annoying thing you can do. Just fucking PLAY and shut the fuck up. If you're trying to get a gig at a place that says right up front they only book thrash, describing yourself as some kind of Neurosis wannabe is not a good way to get booked. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:02pm - Josh_Martin ""] Waaahh, this kid who only books thrash and grind won't book my art-core band of super fags. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:03pm - Josh_Martin ""] btw I've never ever heard the band in question. I just saw an opportunity to type "most gayest" and "super fag" and I took it. |

| _______________________________ [May 26,2005 1:15pm - dan. ""] and usually when someone describe something as 'cerebral' they are implying that its intellectual, which your band is definitely not. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:19pm - Josh_Martin ""] I don't care how thought provoking your lyrics are, if you're playing fucking grindcore, fucking SAY SO. Don't be gay and try and describe it as anything but what it really is. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 1:20pm - Josh_Martin ""] Case in point: Dead Kennedys had the best most "cerebral" ( I feel gay even typing that word now) lyrics ever yet they never refered to themseleves as anything but a punk band.

| ____________________________________ [May 26,2005 3:29pm - anonymous ""] I think there's this huge misconception of things being the same... like Republicans all being white men, Blondes being dumb, or Punx being the same thing as Punks. Punx is a self-labelled thing kids do. It's a goofy, mocking way of being Punk and explaining punk. Punk culture has more to do with rejection of standardized values,systems, ideals, ethics, etc than about music or any of that shit. The music is a result of the ideology and not the other way around. That said, Punx use the music to fuel idiotic sentiments and behavior. True punks don't need to be fucking internet idiots and display minor forms of prejudice to be punk. Punx use punk as an excuse to do things lowbrow. You don't label someone as part of the punx, they do it to themselves and even get it tattooed. Also anyone who has said "just say you're a grind band" 1) belittles grind and 2) says that basically "cerebral" and "grind" don't fit together. The thing is we're not a "grind" band. We're just a band. We put sounds together. When we write, we're not like "time to write a new thrash punk anthem", we think about what we're getting and what we're putting into a song. That to me is a process based off of ideas, a process with a vision. It's not "Farts would be a good way of describing how George W makes me feel!!" and all power to people that write music like that, but that's not us. So no, I am not going to defend extreme music's right to play itself off as music to just get burnt out to and grow out of. Rather, I'm going to play in a band that can describe itself as cerebral in a way that is appropriate and not self-inflating. -Nicholas PS - "Cerebral" doesn't mean intellectual. Dan. must have been joking. It refers to the methods of the intellect, "using your head" would be a better definition. I hear the internet has many dictionaries if you care to look it up, sir. |

| _________________________________________________ [May 27,2005 9:41am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I probably should have clarified this dude is in Indiana. and it wasn't "My band is cerebral" it was "We are a band that is cerebral, diverse, and with a great deal of creativity" which is true. See, Cerebral doesn't mean posh intellectual, it means having to do with the intellect -- that version of "intellectual" like "awesome" means "producing awe" and not always "cool" -- so in this since it means constructed by and for the mind...as well as the heart. It's not meant like "Ah mewzik is smaht, d00d". That's why the whole thing is so funny. |
| _____________________________________ [May 27,2005 10:11am - anonymous ""] this thread is fucking retarded, the topic is retarded, and saying your band is "cerebral" is one of the stupidest fucking things ive ever heard. secondly, the half ass argument about what "cerebral" really meant when it was used to describe the band is even more retarded. good luck with all your shows. labels for bands are needed to book shows and market genres. cerebral isnt a genre. and confusing a promoter is one more reason why he isnt gonna want to book a band hes never heard of in the first place. ignore the shit talking in this thread and just learn from your mistake. take care. |

The word you're looking for is progressive. And I believe someone mentioned connotation earlier in this thread? The word "cerebral" when used as an adjective to describe oneself or one's band definitely carries a connotation of pompousness and superiority of the mind. Those "punx" clearly recognized this and decided they'd be better off without you TTOS. If you want to describe your band as cerebral, especially given as a first impression, which in this case it was, learn to accept the fact that people may not think too highly of you guys. |
| __________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 2:19pm - insultingwhileanonymous ""] Um, no, it's not. "Progressive" is much more pretentious than "Cerebral".

And please refrain from using "most gayest" and other similiar putdowns, because it makes me embarrassed for you. Lastly, someone releasing & promoting recordings by Adolf Satan & a band called "goat molestor"(!) should shut the fuck up, because they obviously wouldn't have a clue as to what cerebral means anyway, nor care. Bahaha... Another anonymous shittalker. Grow a set, wimp. |

| __________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 6:37pm - insultingwhileanonymous ""] I'll give you a hint as to who I am, Bestiality; remember a night at Father's (when it was still Father's and not PJ Kilroy's) when Seth was drunk and on pills and got the snot beat out of him for being stupid? I believe it was you and a few other of his "band" with him...I was the provider of the bottle sandwich Seth so voraciously ate that night. Now quit acting tough. |
| __________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 6:40pm - insultingwhileanonymous ""] ps-I made that up for laughs...it almost happened, though, while I was WITH Seth, and you do know me, and I was just fucking with you here all along!!! ;) |
| __________________________________________ [May 29,2005 6:54pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Uh huh. |
| ________________________________ [May 29,2005 8:13pm - retzam ""] insultingwhileanonymous said:Um, no, it's not. "Progressive" is much more pretentious than "Cerebral". What is TTOS trying to imply, that they sound like Yes or Uriah Heep??? Leave progressive to the nerdy old guys into Hawkwind. Dude, are you serious? You said you use the word "cerebral" to describe: "...not simplistic & hook-oriented, and it doesn't rely on brute force alone to get the point across;it's intricate and almost orchestral: Progressive is a very non-pretentious, perfectly legitimate, and commonly used word that refers to bands that fit this exact description... |
