.... its not about JUST not knowing. but the arrogant attitude behind it.
 
...sadly music is just the tip of the iceberg with this new generation. so many that know nothing and everything at the same time. in the event they realize they didnt know what they thought they did, do they seek more? nope. do they fall back in an understanding that they dont know everything? nope. all they offer is a middle finger. god bless them.

*!@@ your culture was a joke. What the hell does that even mean? Not to mention if you're an American born after '85 chances are we share many pieces of the same culture. It was not meant to be take seriously.

It was however a very legitimate *!@@ you to the arrogant pieces of *#@! with the audacity to label myself and others with unfounded projections simply because I'm not familiar with something the same way you are. "seasoned vet" youre one of the most arrogant posters on these boards and as usuall I'm more than content to let you stand on your soap box thinking you're actually better than everyone else.

....and you're still missing it.
 
...being unfamiliar is very understandable. <-- do you understand what that means? understandable and excusable.
 
...but to say IDGAF....or to say %%@! YOUR CULTURE is something different altogether. anyone with that mindset deserves the label they recieve. you mad?

I said that was a joke. Did you really miss that?

Why would I be mad? It's 73 degrees out and I'm cold chillin with an arizona in my hand. I don't even have to ask if you're mad though. You're downright mad at life which I've come to find kind of sad.

I use to think the same way about a lot of stuff, but its good to know things.....when I chill with one of my boy who knows all the oldies (and he like a year or two younger than me smh) I get salty, but Pandora has been going in "showing me the way" 

Its really all about your culture/how you were raised. I'm Spanish and don't listen to any Spanish music....I might youtube some Anthony Santos or the classics (which I dont know by name/artist

), but you wouldn't catch me dead listening to anything spanish for "pleasure"...I grew up on nothing but rap/r&b/hip-hop and thats all I know...

Within the last few years I been listening to "white" music (rock,punk, beatles and others like them,etc)....Im 26 and just found out what CBGB stood for/what it was all about and I was born and raised in NY 

.....This new era of Hip Hop is not cutting it so I figure I should get to know other genres of music

 

[ham city]

So now that we've established it's also a travesty not to know who **** Clark is, what about my man Don Cornelius?

Why should someone give a +!%+ about a mainstream culture that doesn't give a +!%+ about them and only gives a +!%+ about their culture in attempts to exploit and capitalize off of it?

What the +!%+ has Paul McCartney done for people in the ghettos of the US?  But people from the hood who he has never spoken to (in both the literal and figurative senses) are supposed to have so much reverence for him?  People should go out of their way to find out who he is because he is so deserving of their respect and awe?

All these people in here telling people who they should know and respect as if Paul McCartney has shown any evidence that he is aware of, respects, or gives the slightest damn about the people in America's ghettos.

I can't speak for Ham City, but I would definitely adopt the "+!%+ you and your culture" tone or attitude in the face of people criticizing and insulting me for not knowing and worshiping a person who is completely and utterly unimportant to my life in any meaningful way, shape, or form.

"Shut the $!@% up" huh?  People are so tough on the internet, boy I tell ya!  But I digress...

Everything that you posted is all good and wonderful homie.  To whom much is given, much is expected.  You don't know me, my background, nor know the things that I've dedicated my life to doing so fall back with that #@*!@*$# because you have NO idea what you're talking about...

That being said, where did I say "$!@% Paul McCartney" or that I don't respect him or the things he's done?  Because I sure didn't.  My point was that it's not difficult to understand why people in the hood don't know who the hell McCartney is or have the amount of reverence people like you give him because he has had no impact on their lives in any meaningful sense.  In spite of everything you just posted, my point remains true.

In addition, the bigger point in my post was the attitude of people who are insulting people that don't know who Paul McCartney is like they owe him or "mainstream culture" to go out of their ways to find out about him so that they also can be in awe of him.  Like people owe him or "mainstream culture" some type of reverence or debt.

Apparently you fit in with this group.  Well, you know my stance about people like yourself...

Why is it so hard for you dudes to understand that we are talking about BANDS. I went on my rock, alternative phase but I never knew the names of the dudes in the bands. I knew the songs but outside of that I didn't give a damn. Someone can listen to old Beetles CD's and not know the names of the members. Same with Maroon 5, AudioSlave, NickleBack (I know it is a joke about how bad they are but I like them). I couldn't name one person out of any of those bands other than Chris Cornell. And that was because he was on One Tree Hill.

...im glad you said that. at the same token:
 
...where did i insult ANYONE that didnt know Paul McCarteny? i sure as hell didnt either.
 
...an insult to someone ignorant to who PM is and his impact is just as asinine as the attitude of IDGAF or #!$@ YOUR CULUTRE.
 
...an attitude like that deserves an insult

I came in here just to say McJagger

. I was randomly thinking about this the other day and it's just too damn funny.

 

[ham city]

Why does McJagger have "the moves" was he a good dancer too?

OK. You didn't say ++*@ Paul McCartney. But to still take the ++*@ your culture stance is ridiculous. You did say show me any evidence he cares about the people of American ghetto's. No, he hasn't dontated to the American ghetto help fund, but he has donated to groups that do indeed help the less fortunate of this country and world wide. Instead it's ++*@ your culture, you know the one that promotes kick @@% music and peace and love towards others.

Yes it is stupid to mock someone because they don't know who Paul McCartney is. However, your whole "he hasn't helped the hood therefore he is meaningless to me" stance is equally as stupid. There are plenty of people who haven't helped me in any particular way that I still highly regard, even more so than Paul McCartney. We should respect all people who have helped make the world a better place not say " he hasn't helped me personally so I don't care about him nor should I ever." Blame america's ghettos for worshiping the waka flockas of the world and not giving a damn about people like Paul McCartney i.e. people that make a difference.
