Hey guys, thanks for opening up so many minds here. Keep it going!
Maybe in my previous posts, i think i could have used strong words which may not be suitable. Anyway, though i dun listen to much mainstream music now, i respect the artists and the musicians of the mainstream genre. However, if ppl continue to playing and looping their songs they like, it is gonna be kind of boring at a certain point of time. That's why i try to diversify my tastes so that i can experience different types of music that is appealing.

I find empihsrow's views regarding genre preference rather amusing and so so so full of contradictions. Like aenimic has pointed out, take a stand. Don't sit on the fence and try to goreng people with your contradictions.
My point is clear. I'm against pop but I respect it as a form of music. That's all.
I'm just trying to say that I don't diss pop. I reason my preferences. And neither am I sitting on the fence.

urgh i just don't understand how music culture in a school can be "bad" just because people aren't listening to what YOU are listening to.

I think what AEnimic and sleepykitty is trying to tell you, empishrow, is that first you said 'hopefully metal won't be mainstream', YET you want it to gain the same recognition as RnB and Pop, etc, so doesn't that mean going mainstream?
Point aside, I think JC students tend to be more easily influenced by trends, hence the streamlined music culture. Maybe they don't have the time to venture into other forms of music because of their tight schedules. I was in NYJC for a while and boy did I hate my short JC life.

LOL, THAT WASN'T ME. I said nothing about metal going mainstream. It was another softie.
And of course there's nothing wrong if others listen to music that you don't.
We just don't like it, and as much as they will dislike our music, we have our rights to dislike theirs too. But we did not diss their music. We're just lamenting. Just pay due respect.

Oh... When you get a metalhead to head the guitar ensemble... haha disaster occurs... eg cj...
I think what that guy meant was that metal won't take the path of mainstream music, ie, simple slow, repetitive and losing it's rough, somewhat brutal edge, but for the mainstream audience to like metal as it is now.
Whats wrong with that? It's quite annoying when people around you diss metal for anything, it does help to start becoming very very aggressive when they start though...

Haha, how about.. When you get a metalhead/speed metal drummer to join the symphonic band as a drummer? Disastrous! Eg. Me

This is when neo classical should be introduced into guitar ensembles. 10-part pieces, 10 notes-per-second...

JC students got no time to read forums so they don't care.
They got no time to care whose listening to what.
So no point having this thread.
so wrong. ive always found time to lurk around soft when i was in jc, so its a very very uninformed statement you've made there buddy. i'm very anal when it comes to straight up stereotypes of "jc people being studious, poly people being cool, ite students are all stupid, etc etc" all of which are products of very very naive, uninformed labelling.
"I'm just totally against pop and the mainstream music" is also another line i think alot of us have been accustomed to hearing. i went to a gig once and 20 Dischanger played a cover of Rihanna's - Unfaithful (i think). and i think it just said alot when a friend who keeps repeating that "oh i hate pop blablablabla" somehow knew the lyrics and stuff.
and from what i know, local music is prospering, may it be from ITEs, polys, jcs, etc.
