What do you think about this?

[NilsFG]

It's Lego.

Last time I said 'Lego' somewhere, I got lynched for not saying Legos.

Give a successful black man a break and just focus on what is meant. ;0

No, made it end with an 'a'. Which is actually rather widely used by most ethnic groups and used ironically by non-black people.

My female co-workers point of view:


Yes and no. If the woman is typical … yes. But if she is not (meaning, she’s a musician or a creator), this is not true at all. I know plenty of women that are into other forms of music, but secretly.



I can tell you I’m not that woman. Introduce me to something … and like all things, let me acquire a taste for it.



And with no one debating the status quo, men are ALWAYS trying to create something new, aggressive, something that will make them money. But let a woman create it … it won’t have the same effect. Anything new and unrelated to “typical” women things will always be looked upon as inferior and invalid.



In the age of Tyra, though, I can see why this would be up for discussion.



Something to think about.

WHY ARE ALL THESE WOMEN LISTENING TO MUSIC
THEY SHOULD BE IN THE KITCHEN

Well that's what you get when your chain isn't strong enough

[-dubson-]

its about social moulding. we are far from equal in society yet.

yup this, will be the same for along time as well you would have to say

[.onelove.]

But, tbh, I'd say this is also true to 90% of males. How many lads do you know that hop from one genre to the next? How many do you that slagged off Dubstep a year or so ago and are now showing an interest inline with its rising popularity?

This.
Now recently more people in my neighbourhood start listening dubstep for that reason.
Doesn't annoy me, but it annoys me to see hipsters at dubstep events (or all other events) all hipstering and stuff.

[djelements]

I dunno how I feel about this.
I think it's a bit of just people in general.

[jolly wailer]

it makes basement-dwelling experts froth at the mouth

[Tombones]

there's definitely some truth in the quote at the top of the thread. I think it really is about socialization. Women have to worry so much more about appearances and fitting in. Sadly its kind of auto-repressive. If a girl goes out and doesn't make too much effort or tries to be a little different, she's gonna get more negative reactions from other girls than from guys.

Still, my ex listened to everything from Bob Dylan to Drexciya and it was never a fashion thing in her case.

Many risks expose women to rape
and rape exposes them to pregnancy
which is potentially life-threatening for two beings.
Women tend to need cooperatively-structured societies to avoid being exposed to such risks, so are, sensibly, more inclined to conform or seek the herd for protection.
Always exceptions but you don't find a lot of women sleeping under bridges.
And even when women follow avant-garde movements, I note that many conform to the tenets of that subculture or are instrumental in creating the mores that identify that subculture, and so their comfort-zone..
but this view will seem too proscriptive to some

that's a very interesting theory




I actually think that it may not be the case that women are not into underground music but that perhaps women in general are not into negative music

my reasoning is thus:

I have been to a few Krautrock gigs and there seems to be a lot of women, even as much as men. If you look at say archive Can footage, there are loads of women, Krautrock was experimental but hardly dark or negative, also it was based on positive ldeals (and equality)

Noise, Doom, and Dubstep in its infancy were/are all genres based around varying degrees of negativity. Hardly any women into these genres.

Dubstep these days has grown to include more rhythm, more 'funky' elements, more female elements. You could even say the rave/jumpup element has helped in this regard (drugs hold no sex boundaries) Thus loads more women at raves.

Now I'm not saying this is because women don't get depressed or feel shit. More to do with the fact that 'the male' seems to have more of a need to inflict his personal punishment on the world, to let others know his pain. This is true in all males, knowingly or not, whereas women seem to keep this negativity inside and deal with it internally.

I'm not philisophical expert so feel free to find holes in my argument I'm just musing on some thoughts there.

^yeah, maybe so
Although I wouldn't have described early ds as negative...I thought it was pretty joyous...perhaps cathartic & heavy at times. There's no doubt that it was not (is not?) real popular with the ladies and at one stage I was starting to wonder whether I was gay. Part of the swing to funky seems to be about bringing women in.
Agree with you about Can being attractive to women but it was pretty gentle & pre-AIDS.

[HamCrescendo]

I said something much less drastic (and actually in support of women's musical tastes) than this in the Dubstep forum and it was said that I should be backhanded (or something) in the dance.

Yeah sorry I didn't mean to say that early Dubstep was so negative, cathartic is a much better word to use
