    I tried and failed to get this thread going, I now hand it over to more competent members of the CR. DY, Sam, Akump, popa, Rebyid, the gog,the frogs c’mon. I’m starving for some good entertainment without having to read through hundreds of long winded self important ramblings on one subject. Give us some food for thought(niblets) but try be more creative than “do you like olive dip?, do you like tomato dip/matbucha are equally uninspired(I know I know). Please read original post for more info. Ps. My apologies to the wonderful CRoomers I forgot to mention

    I suppose the writers never took the time to actually look up the definition of the word which begs the question, why are they in the writing business ?

    Pure decadence! As headline for a new food product for instance or decedent treat as a recipe headline.

    I keep on seeing it and really don’t think decadence is something we should be aspiring to.

    Btw I meant frum advertisers not drum advertisers.

    besalel: I didn’t mean the original R&B rhythm and blues I was referring to the more contemporary usage meaning R&B Hip hop fusion.

    Punk rock is by definition Loud and aggressive which is probably why there is such a strong skinhead culture around it.

    I’m sure if you looked hard enough you could probably find a Gangsta rapper with a positive and moral message but that doesn’t invalidate my point. Nuff said!

    Please forgive my previous post I just feel like saying something ridiculous once in a while.

    On a more serious note, is it appropriate for drum advertisers to use the word decadent/decadence?

    1) equal to all human beings like

    They didn’t commit any crimes so why should they be made to wear jumpsuit style clothing,sleep in cage-like contraptions and have all their right restricted?

    Sam: The fact that lower class people gravitate towards this kind of music is a bit telling I would say.

    Just as in the Jewish world artist try to match the lyrics with the tune; fast tunes with more upbeat messages and vice versa. Non Jewish music is no different in that way, punk rock and heavy metal have a lot of anger in them(screaming and shouting ain’t gonna make you feel happy and positive), rap has a rebellious and violent tone,and pop music makes you move your body in a way that has a very DIFFERENT MEANING to just dancing.

    There is a reason why Punk Rock and Rap music are so full of violent lyrics likewise R&B is mostly lewd and immoral. Different styles of music bring out different emotions.

    When moishe came down from har Hamoria the first time he said ??? ???? ????? ??? the rishonim explain that he heard the sound of their singing and dancing, the music of avoda zora,the music of hefkeirus.

    Such kind of music comes from the base human desires and carries a negative influence even without the lyrics.

    Jewish music can only be influenced by uplifting music which comes from the heichal hangeina.

    There is also an argument that the composer’s and feelings and emotions are reflected in their compositions so music composed by an immoral person will inadvertently have a negative effect on the listener.

    Cazzanut is not opera although it is uses similar techniques.

    Cazzanut originated in the synagogues starting off as nusach hatfila with chazunam often adding their own peices and original compositions,as chazzanut developed it did borrow some influences from opera but as any musicologist will tell you Chazzanut is a genre on itd own.

    As for Yossele Rosenblatt, the New York Opera House recognised his potential as an opera singer but he refused their offer despite being assured that he would not have to perform on shabbos or with female singers.

    Most pop music styles trace their roots to Jazz which traces it’s roots to the pagan tribes in Africa. So there is quite a strong argument to say that while some influences are okay others are not and can never be considered Jewish music.

    Unfortunately even good working boys are often made to feel like outsiders. More often than not this leaves them with no one to hang out with other than others who are on the outsiders, which is why a good working boy is so rare.

    I once new a guy like that but he would probably be classified as a psychopath. Self centered to an extreme, heartless to anyone who crossed him and yet highly very charming,charismatic, extremely driven and highly successful too I must add.

    In this particular case it wouldn’t actually, (a colon perhaps) but I meant in general and was just using this as an example of a headline with a double meaning. I suppose a better title would be; should headlines have punctuation?
