OK, so apparently some fag decided to get something off his chest about Pitchfork Media. Let me get this shit off mine: People who go on for more than about two sentences of opinions should go fucking die. Like right here at this point. Opinions are for the weak and homosexual.

Rock journalism might be the most pretentious thing in the world, contended only by Philosophy majors. Yeah dude, the album is great and all but it’s not gonna sound any better cause you ramble on about OK Computer and how Thom Yorke’s words and vocals “perfectly capture the despair and desperation of the human soul” in the song “Exit Music (For a Film)”.

How about you stop sounding like a fucking queer, shut the fuck up, and let the music speak for itself? Hell, what if I think the song simply sucks?

The only reasons why you want to read anything is to gain knowledge or for shits and giggles — not to waste your eyes away reading someone’s half-assed musings about music / art / film / etc. If you are the type of asshole who must read reviews about ANYTHING for pages and pages, you fucking suck. Cause you know what? Evaluating work by criticism from others is fucking worthless. This includes ANY review you read, from Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll to Rotten Tomatoes. If your opinion is swayed any way by some jackass writing about how he or she FEELS about it, you are a fucking ass. You always have to realize that critics are hacks who never created anything interesting in their lives and are self-important idiots with little dicks who have to fill a void in their souls.

What’s even worse is when people get infuriated about opinions. Dude, seriously, doesn’t having your own views and beliefs make you who you are? Are you so pathetic you need affirmation from someone else? If everyone had the same opinion, the world would be like some zombie dystopia straight in a Ray Bradbury novel.

You know the dudes who had the best opinions? Beavis & Butthead. Yeah, those clowns. Cause they just boiled it down to “this sucks” or “this kicks ass”. That’s all you need to know. Just simple, sweet, and no fucking half page print necessary.

Whatever, it’s not like my opinion isn’t retarded. I’m not you.

    i used to run a website devoted to the reviews of different brands of toothpicks but the flame wars got to be too much and i had to shut that shit down. who’da thought?

    word to the wise: do NOT boast about your new cinnamon-flavored tpicks to a site lousy with gingivos.

    teail, keep it up, if you were a superhero your power would be making people eat their own bullshit and thoroughly taste every bite.


  4. Jizz Hiccup Says:

    a marine telling americans’ that opinions are stupid… i come here to avoid that garbage. i like your other stuff but you really just sound like a typical jarhead here…. i mean fuck you just did what you’re saying not to do


  5. mangled knuckles Says:

    funny that a guy named teail kim is talking about people having small dicks. everybody knows the deal with that shit, kid


  6. stinky Says:

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


  7. slutface Says:

    teail is a retard. I don’t have time to listen to everything, what with a job and all, so I outsource a lot of it to people who I know like stuff for the same reasons I do. Sometimes they notice shit that I don’t and it’s so interesting that it makes me give shit I hated the first time another listen. And sometimes it’s good.

    teail makes a great point, but it only applies to people who are too stupid to think, ever. And posting it here is bitter irony, half the people here would be listening to Hardcore House if this site started telling them it was cool.


  8. Street Boning Says:

    ‘this sucks’


  9. kure kure takora Says:

    no one should write about anything ever


  10. Jimmy Fucking Carter Says:

    Jeffery nailed it.


  11. Born on an US military base. Says:

    So the dystopian zombie soldier wants to talk down to civilians about blindly following other people’s opinions.

    Right.

    Military personnel are people too stupid to realize they’re being used as human shields by draft-dodging politicians to fight for natural resources by proxy. They put on their snappy uniforms and smile their idiotic smiles and march off to get maimed and killed before they’re old enough to shave. God Bless America.

    In your case Kim, I’m betting that guns make you feel better about your penis.

    If you want to use your brain and try to contribute something to this country besides tacit compliance, I’ll read your rants and not laugh at you.

    For now, how about you go see a shrink. Like stat.


  12. bj Says:

    sometimes after i watch a movie i like to read what other people thought about it and stuff, hope thats ok


  13. skabbies Says:

    what the fuck are you talking about?

    is your point that people shouldn’t be influenced by other peoples opinions of anything ever? that is a really simple fucking way of looking at things that is clearly just an attempt on your part to sound like you think for yourself (army of ONE!) and are completely above influence which about the most pretentious thing you can say. Jesus, having a conversation with you must be like driving into a wall. Boring.

    Message for the Middle Classes:

    Regardless of what kind of music you listen to, you are going to need anywhere from $25,000-$75,000 per year for the next 40-60 years, if you are going to repeat the ambitious lifestyles of your parent’s generation. (Not adjusted for inflation)


  15. !!! Says:

    yeah, reading and critical thinking sure do suck


  16. poopsmear Says:

    wait, so lemme get this straight, your opinion is that people shouldn’t have opinions and they shouldn’t get furious at people’s opinions? lolwut?


  17. hagenshape Says:

    Reading Taeil’s posts over the last year is like watching a year long version of Apocalypse Now. His writing started out pretty funny and cool, and went, to totally insane and pissed off at everything.

    Hope whatever reason you joined up was worth losing your mind.

    lay off the homos, homo.

    This site will self-destruct in under 2 weeks, mark my words


  20. Taeil Says:

    Not only did this post had NOTHING to do with my military background, or my race, or anyone’s POLITICAL opinion, I can’t help but laugh at those who have to bring it up because of the lack of any argument they have about my opinion.

    P.S. No shit jackasses. I know this post is all opinion. That’s the joke.


  21. Anonymous Says:

    The comments indicate that his post was like a magnet for all the people who just don’t get it.
    I <3 Taeil


  22. Rubix Pube Says:

    You mean you don’t want to hear my opinion? Then I will write a really boring idiotic paragraph in your comments…


  23. DAAM Says:

    Chuck Klosterman basically wrote an entire book (Fargo Rock City) about this concept. About how you can’t possibly describe or evaluate music in terms other than “does it rock”. I’m not sure if it’s a valid argument but it makes sense in a brutal kind of way.


  24. Beavis Says:

    Why do they call it taking a dump when you’re not really taking it anywhere?


  25. mom Says:

    YAWN
    crap article. next please.


  26. sho nuff Says:

    this blows dick


  29. moth eaten deer head Says:

    “P.S. No shit jackasses. I know this post is all opinion. That’s the joke.” We know that’s the joke but it isn’t funny. You should read Gavin’s stuff and try to be as funny as him. As a contributor to this site that should be your goal.Otherwise…


  30. uhh.. Says:

    that was more than 2 sentences


  31. Taeil Says:

    I will assume anyone who shits on me writes record reviews for Rolling Stone.


  32. Anonymous Says:

    I thought this was stupid article too, but can none of you read? His name is spelt “Taeil” (“??” in Korean, I’m assuming).


  33. Anonymous Says:

    Doesn’t support Hangeul characters, eh? You’ll just have to trust me.


  34. bj Says:

    i prefer david cho to this guy


  35. Taeil Says:

    JK… I’m glad for those who hate my article, you guys kept it rather terse. I’d prefer David Cho over me too…

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

“Wiggers” is a mean word that stings like a motherfucker but, somehow, “Bonkies” doesn’t pack the same wallop.

Pulling back your sleeve to show your tattoos seems queer but that’s what tattoos are: accessories.

You may have noticed there’s a lot of music industry chicks at SXSW all dressed up with no interest in you whatsoever. You may have also noticed you’re not in a band.
