I fucking hate authenticity... this is why I have trouble with the "holy trinity" of music

1. blues
2. jazz
3. world

world is part of a trinity?

the 3 genre's that anti-anti people get too sucked into.

First you rebel against you're parents and get into punk, metal or techno. Then you rebel against counter-culture and get into "real" music. So you can boldy say .. I listen to everything.

is it alright like to like all 3 of those "genres" and dig electronic stuff as well.
omg i hope it is, cos if not, it means im not cool.
shit
the fragile construct i call my "self" has just collapsed.

im freaking out!
i need to dig out my pan-pipe CDs again.

i know what your getting at though djugel.

i had this guitar playing friend who preferred Clapton to Hendrix cos he was playing more "authentic" blues.
i hate that type "authenticity"

Cool .. we're seeing eye to eye now. I fucking hate Clapton for the exact reason.

"world" is not a genre. it's a shitty and xenophobic way to categorize music.

authenticity is a fukcing pice of shit.

i love it when you start ranting djugel

LOL at pan-pipes vid!
