Why ask my opinion if you don't want it?

Midwestern emo is all the zoomers who took the wrong lessons after hearing real emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, the Get up Kids, The Promise Ring, The Juliana Theory, and shit like that

They take all the spicy chords, jangly tones, and off time signatures, and use none of the emotion, hooks, or any of the good shit those bands excel at

Generally people mean American Football, TRSH, The Brave Little Abacus, Kittyhawk, Heart Attack Man, etc etc





They all fucking play Jazzmasters and high chord inversions with ringing dissonant open notes in them over and over again without any of the groove, songcraft, or dynamics of Sunny Day Real Estate or Get Up Kids or any of the legit pioneers of the genre. Notice how they take the basic sound and idea without any of the heartfelt emotion or hooks of the original bands;








It's an entire genre of zoomers pretending to understand a music movement when they don't understand it, and larping as it, and wearing the genre as a skinsuit

Opinion, help, whatever you wanna call it.

Sounds like this instrument is more her speed:

Lol I think you guys just assume she's fat because she has fancy nails and that first response was about fat girls with raptor claws lol

Oh really? Show me.

"because she wants me to teach her how to play it. "

Help is not a synonym for opinion

Help is not a synonym for opinion

If she asks you to teach her to play, it's ridiculous to think she isn't asking for your opinion. It's semantics.

It's not semantics. It's language.

Help means providing assistance to accomplish a task or satisfy a need, while opinion is a subjective belief or judgment that is not necessarily based on fact.

Ok Language. I don't recall the word help. I recall the words "Teach me to play".

I am very confused why we would argue about opinion vs help.

Let us talk more of fat girls with raptor claws

So guitar teachers only offer opinions on how to play songs, they don't actually help learn to play them properly? Now that's funny

Well, you just talked yourself into a circle. Explain to me how A) pointing out that long fingernails are going to keep her from playing the song properly isn't helping her to learn to play the song properly and B) someone who was just asked to help teach her something can possibly be accused of giving an unsolicited opinion ?
