BOTS 6 Round 4 Enter the Johniverse

[John McHenry]

I know I said I was going to lose from the start

 

[John McHenry]

I was going for emotional heartstrings

 

[Comrade Khan]

I was going for emotional heartstrings

I think that might be the best way for me to describe my country listening experience, it just does not draw a single emotion from me. such is life though, I won't say it's bad music. Just doesn't work for me brother.

 

[Loochblade]

So that's why Hogan didn't want to do the job for Jarrett

Im not gonna lie that’s kind of weird cause country music is very emotional

 

[Comrade Khan]

it is not weird at all, unless you have very little room for critical thinking. Every music has emotion, but how it makes other people feel is on a case by case basis. Just because some dude in a country song is singing about sad stuff doesn't automatically mean I or anyone can relate to it. I don't know why it is so difficult for you to understand such a simple concept as taste

I thought you were going to go with something like it's pandering. Because it's so in your face about it.

One could argue that it is indeed very superficial and beat you over the head emotion, but I didn't really want to argue against the quality of the music itself. I wanted my argument to be based on the fact that all music is subjective and to expect every single person to feel the exact same way is, respectfully, fucking stupid.

Yeah musical taste being subjective per individual is something that some people just can’t seem to understand no matter how many times we’ve gone over it over the course of this competition

 

[John McHenry]

Fair. I enjoy a bit of everything. I do sometimes pick just to get people outside their comfort zones though. I knew my choice this round had minimal chance of winning.

Really shocked we didn't get Elton John though.

I'd even argue it's getting worse, because of how views, likes and other numbers are perceived thanks to (social) media.

everyone is in their own subjective echo chambers, just look at wrestling as a good example

 

[John McHenry]

We should do a songs that piss people off list I bet that'd be quite the gem for discussion.

How do we know if it pisses them off though

 

[John McHenry]

Again it's subjective. I hate this song? Vote whichever song out of the two you dislike more. Fucking duh.
