Or you could just play a game of hungry hungry hippos.
Them’s fightin’ words.
Not for my kids it isn’t. Is it only Wednesday? God, it’s been a long week. 
Damn gex gex, I think you nailed it.
I can’t say I know many of the bands you listed kplmonkeypants, except for Evergreen Terrace and From Autumn to Ashes.
The fact of the matter is this, my friend. You are in the exact same position as the people you profess to hate. Godsmack is just as “pop” as N*Sync and Brittney Spears. They are marketed the same way, just to a different demographic. In fact, a quick look at The Universal Records homepage yields that 98 Degrees is on the same label as Godsmack. So everytime you buy a Godsmack CD (and I assume you will soon, since they have a new one coming out in a few weeks) you are contributing to what you call “poop music.”
If you hate the music on the radio, as I often do, turn on talk radio or put in a CD. And stop complaining.
Yeah, don’t you ever ever come in to the PIT to complain. Besides, you are too young to be here and your grammar and spelling is not PERFECT.
Are you serious djf750? He’s complaining about pop music when he is just as big a consumer of it as anyone else. He’s either a hypocrite or a teenager. Besides, since when are we not allowed to tell someone to quit bitching in The Pit?
FTR, I don’t care as much about the spelling and grammar as many do, but I will admit he may have been taken more seriously if he did check his post before he hit the Submit Reply button.
By the way, isn’t it “your grammar and spelling aren’t perfect?”
just so you all know i was at school in class when i wrote my post… so i was kind of in a rush so i didn’t get caught by one of my teachers… so have a nice day… and yes i admit it i listen to godsmack who may be “pop”… but the type of pop i am talking about is the teeny bopper crap… not the so called “alternative” pop because i can stand that because it isn’t a bunch of 14 year old kids singing about things al green or any other r&b or soul artist used/still sing/s about… or justin timberlake trying to be like micheal jackson( i think i spelled his name wrong sorry)…
sorry if this doesn’t make sense but i have to many thoughts running through my head…
peace out,

You do understand the similarities between the stuff you hate and the stuff you can tolerate, right?
I, too, hate MOST pop music too. But I hate it because it sucks. I happen to LIKE effeminate sounding guys (singing, that is. I also like feminine sounding women, in many ways ;)) Of course I also like goth-y growls, but not as much as I used to.
Dewd you should chek out Belle and Sebastian. They’re singer rox.
Well, I tend not to like most “pop” music. But have you come to realize why it’s called “pop” music? Because it’s popular. Any music can become pop, if enough people like it, and decide it’s trendy and hip. So to hate pop music is fine, but don’t act like it makes you high and mighty. All it means is that you have different tastes than the “norm”.
sorry if I come off high and mighty, I really wasn’t trying to… I am just pissed at how mainstream america takes bands I liked before most of the people I know, knew of them and makes them so unbelievably popular all the mainstream wannabes start thinking they are cool because they like something that had a following before they even knew about it( not sure if that makes sense or not… but I hope you all get what I mean by it)…here is an example just incase how I explained it confused anybody, I liked dashboard confessional my sophomore year of high school( I am a senior now… that was a year and a half before they became “pop”) and most of the people in my class said they sucked… then they got played on the radio and the same people that said they sucked all of a sudden were saying how awesome the band was… I hope that helps with what I was trying to say…
peace out,

This can actually be debated.
Oftentimes, the term “spelling and grammar” is used to identify a single entity (like “Johnson and Johnson” or a “black and white” cop car…that “black and white” is blocking my path).
It sure doesn’t sound right, though…and it certainly is borderline…but a convincing argument could be made.
One nitpicky note concering the OP’s most recent post: Dashboard Confessional isn’t a “they” or a “band”, really. It’s basically one guy. With a guitar. Not sure why he uses the Dashboard name instead of just calling himself Chris Carraba, but it’s basically just him.
I like pop-music. Namely, Europop, but it’s pop music the same. Nearly all of it makes the teeny-bopper music listened to here sound slow and depressing. All the voices are incredibly feminine, in fact most music I listen to ONLY has feminine vocals. You would probably dislike it quite a bit.
Somehow, I’m not convinced that I should value your opinion enough to care.
HEY! Are you gonna tell me how to pronounce your name or WHAT? I asked waaaaaaaaaaaay back there!
Oh my gosh, it’s just damned crappy music. Like it, don’t like it, it’s not like your musical choices totally mold your entire identity. Let your friends like what they like, or hate what they hate. You enjoy what you like, and be done with it.
And remember—in a few years no one will have heard of half these bands that you care so deeply about (or despise). A whole new batch of flash-in-the-pan bands will have their 15 minutes of fame, and you can bicker about a whole new breed of trendy-but-probably-soon-forgotten bands! So don’t get your knickers in a twist about it. This too will pass.
Until, yosemite, nostalgia for all those crappy bands takes over, and they’re all hip and “retro” again…
my name is pronounced kyle… and i am still trying to figure out why my mom spelled it kiel…
peace out,
