Hey

Post Reply New Topic

I've been a lurker here for a while, but just now signed up, im 14, I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was young and I have a blog, which you can see in my tagline, in which I talk about, music, movies, hilarious things I saw online, things that annoy me and whatever comes to my mind. One thing I love is when I see "comment from anyonomous or such and such in my email." I like history, politics, and things that make me think, though I dont like math. I also like music, I like everything from the 60s to the 90s but not much of now because most of it isn't good. I love rock and metal, espeshally thrash/speed metal. I cant stand modern country, though I do like older country. The only thing I don't really like is pop music, the most shallow form of music in existence. Also, I was born 4 months early and I have 1 working vocal cord. Which makes my voice all scratchy and distorted and just generally messed up. I tend to get made fun of for that more so than my autism. Anyways I'm just saying Hi.

Hi. Welcome to WP!

Welcome greetings to Wrong Planet, Jacob.

Welcome, I'm Tom, over fifty now with aspergers and two kids with it too.
I lose my voice altogether sometimes, my children seem to like when this happens!
Jacob, I can tell you that here on wp you are not alone but among friends - even if you hate country music lol.
Take a look around this site, you will see and hear amazing inspiring stories and meet some great people.
Be proud of who you are.
Tom

Thanks, and I don't hate country, just new country, I like old country like David Allen Coe, Merle Haggard and such.

i think you show all the traits of great taste, but you will require some serious finetuning,
both in the heavy department, and, given time, i shall prove to you that there is ex-cel-lent 'pop' music

would you, just for an example, agree with me that we may lable Abba [pop] ?
if so (me qualified teach, you 14, Jacob12): homework:

write a small essay discussing how Abba does AND does not suit your taste;
and also discuss whether Abba, within the boundaries of the genre itself (is there a ' genre' called ' pop' ?),
would in your mind constitute quality or lack thereof, for instance in terms of shallowness

i am just sad for you, that you cant enjoy singing along as much i can

Im intrigued, tell me what retooling I need in the heavy department, and I will look up this Abba you speak of.

only one step at a time...

however: also google [Phil Spector Wall of Sound] and link on (you will know to what)

apply concept of WoS to Abba

listen to lots of Abba and to all of what you found by onlinking^^

oh: and do you like sixties/earlyseventies soul?
(that's one i only allowed myself way toooo late!)(as i did country!)
