What is rockism? Is it when you only like rock? Or only dislike rock? It could mean either.

Rockism is idiotic but it was a necessary response to combat poptimism, which is far more harmful to music.

but poptimism was a direct consequence of rockism. what are you saying man?

My phrasing was sort of off there. Yes, rockism came before poptimism. However, poptimism is much worse comparatively.

Poptimism is good though

It is not.

Look at the picture, and failing that reverse imagesearch it newfag
This

>YOUR GENRE OF MUSIC ISN'T REALLY MUSIC
>NO THATS NOT TRUE, YOUR GENRE OF MUSIC IS THE REAL NOT-MUSIC
wow, is there a more senseless and braindead debate in all of music?

Kek, I don't actually agree with that way of thinking. I stated earlier that both are idiotic, but poptimism is much worse.

you’re not understanding the relationship here. rockism was a mistake partially due to the cancerous demonspawn that is poptimism

you’re a huge cum and onions guzzling faggot and should kill yourself

based uninformed retard that can’t into google

I support this statement.

Pop has a right to exist, boomers.

I'm a rockist

It's my dream to gun and cut down all fans of other music and rockers shall inherit the Earth as the rightful kings!

both fucking suck lol >>>>> rockism >>>>> poptimism

Not a boomer, and I don't disagree with you. I believe poptimism is complete garbage because pop is generally much worse than the entire rock genre, and pop doesn't deserve any defending because it's been in power for literally over a decade.

that's not what Poptimism is about you fucking mong

??? yes retard no one is denying that

something tells me most the people in this thread don't know what either of these terms mean...

Poptimism is a reactionary movement to Rockists claiming that buttrock trash like the Beatles is the "true" pop music.

other than for obvious retards like and poptimism and rockism aren't hard-to-understand concepts. it's just that no one ITT has posited anything regarding the so-called debate but like this user said there's no point to it

I thought this was kinda funny

Pop is for homosexuals and women

>muh sudden key changes as PARADIGM SHIFTING ART ROCK
i like the beatles but jesus christ

Xgau is a poptimist

Wtf I hate xgau even more now.

Is Scaruffi a rockist?

no he's a grown-up avant-teen

Not that I condone rockism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
