Title: Here's a word I hate Post by: Walk on March 15, 2006, 12:42:31 AM Movement. I've heard the word abused so many times. The grunge "movement", the film noir "movement", or the Romantic "movement", and so on. These aren't "movements", they were fads. They were reflections of society, not instruments of change themselves. Grunge stole ideas from earlier indie rock, Romanticism goes back to the humanists of the Renaissance, and film noir rips off German expressionism. Like most fads, there is no originality.
Post some more examples if you wish. :) Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: jameslofton29 on March 15, 2006, 12:44:40 AM Its just a generalization, a cliche,etc. "Fad" doesnt sound as good, or have the same staying power as "movement". Thats why the term is used quite often.

Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Guns N RockMusic on March 15, 2006, 01:43:08 AM Damn I miss Walk's post in the Jungle of old. Maybe someday we can get back to discussing real issues and not some bullshit feud between people we don't know nor will ever meet.
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Kaybee on March 15, 2006, 01:55:25 AM I hate the word 'legend'. It's thrown around so loosely these days that it's lost all credibility.

they could be instrument of change. nouvelle vague was an instrument of change. what i hate actually is the " it has been done, ..." " it's so inspired from ... " yeah, everything's been done. we know. Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Skeletor on March 15, 2006, 08:49:59 AM what i hate actually is the " it has been done, ..." " it's so inspired from ... " yeah, everything's been done. we know. I can sort of agree with that. Reminds of one time a few years ago, when Is This It by The Strokes had just been released, and I went to a record store asking about it. The clerk told me they're "a total Stooges rip-off" and proceeded to tell me that they suck because the singer is from a rich family :hihi: That was just one big WTF moment, the dude gets his money from selling CD's (he's the owner as far as I know) and still tries to stop me from buying the album... Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Jim on March 15, 2006, 08:57:54 AM Is This It is the one Strokes song that I actually really liked.
Oh, as for the whole movement thing, meh. A group of people doing some thing that has probably been done in some form or other before doesn't make it any less of a 'movement', or take anything away from what the word is supposed to mean. The word really is synonymous with 'fad' anyway, so I guess your argument is of little point. As for a word I hate; I guess it would have to be anything that tries to sub-categorize music, when it really doesn't need sub-categorizing at all. Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Mal Brossard on March 15, 2006, 12:23:14 PM I despise the word Emo. You limp-wristed, boy-kissing, makeup-wearing guys need to quit crying and stop calling your music emotional just because your girlfriend/boyfriend/androgynous-significant-other dumped you.
It's part of life, get over it. I don't give a shit that I've never heard of any of your favorite bands. Know why I haven't heard of them? Because they suck. It doesn't make you "real" listening to bands that suck. And I'm sorry that I like things that are popular. Emotion has been a part of music forever. You didn't add something to the emotion just because you slit your wrists and whine a lot. Mozart has emotion. Bach has emotion. Scott Joplin has emotion. Duke Ellington has emotion. The Beatles have emotion. Guns N' Roses has emotion. You're adding nothing new by calling your music "emotional." All it does is make me want to stab every single one of you phony, elitist posers. {/rant} Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Mal Brossard on March 15, 2006, 02:34:43 PM I forgot to mention that I do wish my lawn were emo. That way it would cut itself.

Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 15, 2006, 03:27:01 PM I hate that there's no nice word for cunt.
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Communist China on March 15, 2006, 03:47:43 PM I despise the word Emo.? You limp-wristed, boy-kissing, makeup-wearing guys need to quit crying and stop calling your music emotional just because your girlfriend/boyfriend/androgynous-significant-other dumped you. It's part of life, get over it. I don't give a shit that I've never heard of any of your favorite bands.? Know why I haven't heard of them?? Because they suck.? It doesn't make you "real" listening to bands that suck.? And I'm sorry that I like things that are popular. Emotion has been a part of music forever.? You didn't add something to the emotion just because you slit your wrists and whine a lot. Mozart has emotion.? Bach has emotion.? Scott Joplin has emotion.? Duke Ellington has emotion.? The Beatles have emotion.? Guns N' Roses has emotion.? You're adding nothing new by calling your music "emotional."? All it does is make me want to stab every single one of you phony, elitist posers. {/rant} Yea, I agree. They all like to talk about how they don't conform to what others tell them to be, while they all conform by wearing the same thing, listening to bands that all sound the same, and so on...Emos piss me off. Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: axl_rose_700 on March 15, 2006, 05:03:43 PM I hate the word 'legend'. It's thrown around so loosely these days that it's lost all credibility. me 2, and 'brave' in football when they slid in for 50-50 challenge!! ??? Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Lisa on March 15, 2006, 07:02:12 PM I hate that there's no nice word for cunt. thanks, I was going to say almost the exact same thing : ok: probably the only word I despise...yet so effective ;)Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: ClintroN on March 15, 2006, 07:07:43 PM hip-hop
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: the dirt on March 15, 2006, 07:09:51 PM I hate that there's no nice word for cunt. Pink box...? Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: mega_music on March 15, 2006, 08:50:31 PM I hate that there's no nice word for cunt. The Love Tunnel??Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 15, 2006, 09:30:58 PM I hate that there's no nice word for cunt. Vagina's a nice word! Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: SuperMike on March 15, 2006, 10:04:04 PM I hate the word "sucks" on certain occasions when people try pissing me off by saying something I like sucks.
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 15, 2006, 10:06:44 PM Hmmm... I hate the word heinous... they use it on the news and it sounds too much like anus.
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: SuperMike on March 15, 2006, 10:10:17 PM I also hate the word "hello" said in a bitchy way when people treat you like you're deaf or something.
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 15, 2006, 10:13:23 PM haha
I hate it when people write faget. For one thing, the word is faggot. For another, I thing that using derogatory words to describe one's sexual orientation is stupid... Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 16, 2006, 06:18:23 AM Pink Box - I guess that's nice, as it were.? It's still not a great word to use for it.? It's not a box, for a start.
The Love Tunnel -? :rofl: Okay I like that one. Vagina - It's alright, but it sounds a bit too scientific for me.? It's probably the best option out there, except for the love tunnel. I say piss flaps. :yes: Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: supaplex on March 16, 2006, 08:51:13 AM i hate the word "cool"
everything's "cool" now, not fine not beautiful, not good, but "cool". and everybody's using it and it sticks to you even if you don't want it to Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 09:47:40 AM I say piss flaps. :yes: dirt! I don't like the way guys say pussy. it sounds so vulgar and disgusting. At the same time, I love it when girls say it, it's pretty sexy. Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 03:24:39 PM I hate the word "penis".
Its SO BLOODY CLINICAL!!! Cock or dick just work so much better!! : ok: Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 03:28:02 PM Oh come on... no word in the english language is funnier than penis! haha... It doesn't work when you're trying to be sexy, it's only funny if someone says something like "man, my penis is some green and itchy"
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 03:39:25 PM Yea! That's what I'm on about! It just doesn't work when you're trying to be sexy! Its just such a goddamn clinical word!! Plurally its funny though... penii! :rofl:
Same with "vagina" actually, and any shortened forms of it... such as "vag" or "vaggie"... I hate those words! Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: grendood on March 16, 2006, 03:40:52 PM This thead's a cliche in itself, oh the irony. :confused:
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 03:42:18 PM Yea! That's what I'm on about! It just doesn't work when you're trying to be sexy! Its just such a goddamn clinical word!! Plurally its funny though... penii! :rofl: Same with "vagina" actually, and any shortened forms of it... such as "vag" or "vaggie"... I hate those words! Subway has these veggie delight sandwiches... my friend always used to ask for a vaggie delight there, and I'd end up it in fits of laughter everytime Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 03:50:04 PM :rofl:
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 03:53:08 PM an acceptable plural form of penis is penes (pronounce PEEN EES) hahaha...
Anyone know the plural for clitoris? the answer will knock your socks off! Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 06:40:27 PM Is it clitorii? or clitores?
If it isn't either of those... it must be clitorises, and that's just bad grammar, so what the hell is it? :hihi: Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 06:42:16 PM it's clitorides.... weird, huh?
Title: Re: Here's a word I hate Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 06:48:51 PM Yes... that is really really weird... :lmao:

Another word I hate... well anything that came about from the Rock's era in wrestling... all the kids used to call each other Jabronis and wanting to take things and turn em sideways and stick em up one anothers' roody-pooh candy asses...
