Sure maybe it's flame bait, but at least it's honest flame bait. I've had this in me for about two months now.
Do you ever wonder why a laptop show is boring? I know many of you do because I've seen the posts to prove it. I know why a laptop show is boring. It's because the f**king music the artist is playing is boring. That's right. It doesn't matter how intelligent you think you are or how intelligent you think the artist is, or what they are trying to "achieve" with their boringness, the fact is that their music sucks. It's true, otherwise nobody would be complaining that it's boring. It's like the story "The Emperor's New Clothes." All it takes is one little girl to say "it's boring" and everyone knows the truth. Sure some people will try to delude themselves because their whole personal identity is wrapped up in thinking that because they like boring music they are somehow special. Ignore them. Why do I know this? Why do I speak with such god-given authority? Because two months ago I was outside in Cologne at a party on the beach (kinda) and The Modernist was playing. And do you know what? He was the most boring d*nm performer I have ever seen. He just stood there the entire time in front of his laptop doing something, maybe looking at porn (I know that's what *I* would be doing) for all I know. How boring can that be!?!?!?! But holy heaven/hell damn me if it wasn't the most energetic and amazing set of music I (and a thousand or so others) have heard in ages.... dance dance dance rock rock rock pumpin'..... So if The Modernist just sits around and is boring and other laptop artists sit around and are boring, yet nobody complains about The Modernist then the logical conclusion is that all the people that I am too stupid to understand properly are boring.
