Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Rappers should wear black or white tie more often.
Mad respect to be gotten.

It's disgusting isn't it just?
I don't really like kissing someone who's recently drunk whiskey though either.
I'd rather kiss an AIDS patient.

I only made out with a smoker once. It was at a bar and we had done a whole mess of carbombs so honestly I'm p sure I couldn't even tell.
BUT YEAH LIKE AN ASH TRAY!
How is operation get in shape going, chu?
That's an argument riddled with traps and pitfalls, art is a very personal thing, and be it music, movies, pictures, whatever, ultimately the only arbiter or what is good or bad for you, is you yourself.
Objectively good doesn't really mean much because there's so many different thing we could use in a definition of what objectively good constitutes. Take pop music for example: Technical structure? Melody? Hook? Instrumentation?
Ugh. UUUGH.

Was alright.
My girlfriend likes beer breath.
I <3 her for this.
The Danes are filthy.
They smoke so much, it is disgusting.

Beer breath is fine, perhaps even good.
Whiskey breath - not so much.

In NZ smokers get mad judgment these days, but the poor things just want to be loved
Nah, beer + whiskey. Is good.
now excuse me while I play videogames for seven consecutive hours
All of those things contribute to a piece being objectively good. I guess I should be more precise in saying that "good" in this sense is directly tied to technical merit and proficiency.
There is a HUGE spectrum between something being objectively good and objectively bad, as to not confuse the two as an either/or scenario.
I guess my fervor for this kind of discussion comes from the fact that I'm tired of going to movies with people who say things like "that movie sucked" when they mean to say "I didn't like that at all". I saw No Country For Old Men with a friend one time and he was like "that movie was a piece of shit". And it was one of the first times that, though I am sensitive to other's opinions, I was like, no you're just objectively wrong.
It's an incredibly snooty argument to attempt, I know, and that's why I don't ever really bring it up. But when it comes to the arts, I don't like the prevailing idea that everything is totally subjective and merit can only be judged on a person to person basis. If this were solely the case, film theory, music theory and art history wouldn't exist. There'd be no reason to study any of these endeavors because it'd all be subjective so who cares!
Oh dear fucking god.
I had to drink beer + whiskey concoctions as initiations punishment stuff.
It is terrible instant-vomit juice is what it is.
Everyone who's ever ordered one is a terrible person.
Ruining good beer with whiskey.
Yep.
Obscure? Alright this pretty obscure and also, quite possibly, the whitest rap ever. I mean super white.
