Nast Battle #1 - EDM vs Punk Rock

-
Situation at hand : the dispute between fans of, arguably, two of the most conformist musical genres in the industry right now. Both sides complain about the other being unoriginal and sounding exactly the same. Meanwhile, we sit back and analyse the raging battle. I know what you’re thinking. ”Don’t these people have anything better to do?!” The answer to your question: NO.

Idiosyncrasies of EDM : So you think your music is ‘trippy’? Maybe its because most of the worlds population would rather ‘trip’ over a banana peal than listen to another song by Avicii (assuming they still have their ear drums intact, unlike you EDM lovers). For the record, all your music DOES sound the same.

Now that we have that out of the way, lets get started. Bro, I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you but fist pumping is not as cool as you think. If I see one more dude in a neon muscle tank top pumping away to another scrillex song, I am going to take your beloved drop of the bass and drop it down a hundred storey building. Also, why do you think that house music sounds like jesus came back on a technicolour spaceship to shower roses over the club? Its really not all that epic. It's really just the same. Let's be real here, EDM music does not have any lyrics, and when it does, its some awful generic track by a girl that nobody will ever give two craps about. Sorry, we’re not sorry.

Idiosyncrasies of Punk Rock : Why are the names of most punk rock bands so depressing? Pierce the veil? Fall Out Boy? My Chemical Romance? The Misfits? Don’t get me wrong, we would have a lot of respect for punk rock music if it wasn’t just middle aged men playing the electric guitar and screaming into a microphone to hide the sound of their heart shattering into a million pieces because their girlfriend dumped them.

Also, wanted to ask you through which hole in your body do you listen to this music, considering the amount of piercings you have. Real talk though, having a piece of metal go through you your upper lip does not make you look attractive. Even if we got around to asking you that question, you probably wont be able to hear us through the voluminous hair that you haven’t bothered to cut in the past ten thousand years. 

Future of dispute : Will the two parties continue to hate on each other? Ehh, maybe.
Or maybe they will resolve their issues and start taking inspiration from each other.. who knows? In a couple years, we could have Martin Garrix do an epic guitar solo while Billie Joe Armstrong drops some sick beats in the background.

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

-
Image
The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
