    Isn't whether or not the phrase is offensive kind of dependant on tone?

    What if I hear a song I don't like, but am not good at articulating why I don't like it? Because that happens to me a lot.

    ^^ I guess so. Though with rap, it's a little worse when the tone is offensive.

    Ehhh, I'm not seeing it.  There's not many rap songs I could point to and say I like.  Or country.  Or jazz.  It's not saying "all jazz is terrible," it's saying "I don't generally like jazz."  And music enjoyment is like the most subjective thing ever.

    Neither Malk nor I were saying "I don't like jazz/country/rap" is the bad statement. "That kind of music" is the one that ought to be avoided.

    I know, I'm saying there's not really a difference.  "It" in that post was referring to using "that kind of music."

  • DYREDYRE

    There is absolutely no difference whatsoever between saying "that kind of music" and specifying a genre.  If you're getting offended by people saying one and not the other, it's because you're overly sensitive and just looking for a reason to be offended.

    How does that make even the slightest of differences?

  • All NinesAll Nines

    It's not as likely to be a problem when referring to genres besides rap. But when it is rap, not referring to it by name is a bit sketchier.

    I honestly don't see how that is.

    I don't see how. And even then, what if I do like rap, just not rap similar to that song?

    ^ Then . . . be more specific? I wouldn't think it that hard to describe what's off when listening to a song.


    ^^ All right, then. It's a relatively un-intuitive phrase, though; wouldn't it be easier to just state the name of the genre anyway? I dunno, maybe I'm just reading too much condescension into it; I mean, I would imagine that, when referring to a genre of music that you do like, you would refer to it by name. Just seems elitist to me.

    There is though. The choice of the latter words has a specific connotation of othering and with rap and hip-hop... guess which group is being othered?


    It's equivalent to 'those people' essentially which is also a term that's going to make me look at you with less-than-positive eyes.

    I talked to the roommate of my significant friend, who is also my friend. We cuddled a bit, watched Arrested Development, then talked about her. I eventually, awkwardly, broached the topic of whether or not there's a customary waiting period before asking out a girl who's just broken up.


    She was overjoyed. She said that she thought it was a great idea, that we'd make a great couple, that the girl had been giving me all the right signs, and that she was positive that she'd say yes if I asked her out. She advised me to wait a week and also - somehow - talk to my buddy, because he might have some feelings on the issue. I agreed and said that if it came down to it, I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize my friendship with him.


    I... I think that I might actually have a chance with this girl. She actually seems to reciprocate my feelings of deep affection and lust.


    This is a strange and new feeling.


    I'm scared, IJBM.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    She was overjoyed.

    The girl next door, on the other hand, asked my permission to write homoerotic fanfic about me.

    Tempura squid has an odd aftertaste. Don't think I'll ever try it again (at least not the kind produced in a North American Asian Style Food restaurant)

    TEMPURA! THANK YOU!


    I kept wondering what it was that I wanted to make. I couldn't remember the name.

    I had tempura french fries once. It was the most delicious thing I'd ever tasted. I need to find a recipe.
