Another good blog by Loren Weisman, once again, check it out, here.

Yes, that’s one of the best blog posts, I’ve seen so far. There’s nothing wrong with not liking someone else’s music, just be respectful about your own opinion and treat it like an opinion, then other people will respect it. When I don’t like other music, I treat it like an opinion. Always had in this blog.

That’s the problem with people online. People like to hate on other music as if it’s factual. When my music is being criticized negatively, they like to treat it like if it’s factual. It would be better if people would be honest in a much friendlier way and it’s not that hard to say, “in my opinion”, to make it sound more classy.

I too have seen plenty of heated flame wars between non-musicians and musicians arguing about who is great and who is not.

When I give my honest opinion, yes “opinion”, on other local bands, I would get slammed for it. People would say to me, “You shouldn’t give your opinion on other bands when your music is crap”. Things like that. Just because I don’t play like a professional musician, doesn’t mean I am not allowed to have an opinion on other music.

I can have an opinion on music all I want to. This is what music is here for. Listen to it, give feedback on it and say if you like it or not. This world would be boring if we had to like and respect everything. There are music, I don’t like myself.

I agree with Loren that the professional musicians being critical on other music is no better. The professionals think they know everything, and a lot of their opinions on music is pretty rude & disrespectful. They would put down the amateur musicians and think they’re better than the hobbyists. They aren’t any better. It’s doing nothing but showing their overblown self centered ego.

The music world is crazy when it comes to criticizing music. I wish other people would be better at criticizing music but nope. Everyone wants to be negative assholes and think they know everything.

Another thing, people would slam today’s music industry. How a lot of it’s fake and being controlled. Yeah, you get the deal. A lot of that is opinion as well. Just all talk. I may not like most of today’s music myself, there are some today’s artists and bands that I like, but when I don’t like a lot of it, I still respected their talent anyway. These guys are doing something with themselves in the industry while we’re all online bitching about it? What’s wrong with that picture, right?

I respect all talent, whether I liked the music or not.
