2) Long have scholars and hippies pondered the origins of Rockism, trying to lay a finger on when it began, who set it in motion. There is one school of thought that places the genesis somewhere around the mid 20th century. Elvis, The Beatles, and similar pop icons were rising to power, breaking preconceptions and pushing envelopes. However this is merely a casual observation of Rockism's more recent renaissance, and does not touch on the true nature of Rockism -- it's core if you will -- which has been in existence far longer than history books accurately record.

Many scholars attribute the rise of Johann Sebastian Bach with the rise of Rockism -- as truly his late night organ riffs must have rocked his Baroque friends to their bones, chilling them with raw modal capitulations and bringing them to tears with the power and sensitivity of perfectly executed picardy thirds. Speculation as to Rockism's origins beyond this point in time has been ventured, but no conclusive evidence of previous Rockist works have found, though many have dedicated their careers in trying to find them.

Rockism though, despite academic debates as to it's birth and development, is typically characterized by devastatingly wicked tunes, surreal harmonies, and spine-jucing rhythms. "Feeling that shit in my fucking soul" is a common sentiment expressed among its followers, though there are many derivatives of this expression.

4) Neither. Seriously. If you want more explanation to this then, well. Then you wouldn't understand to begin with. Neither are bad, but neither merit any kind of genuine critical dissection. I listen to and enjoy them both. I even rock out. But there is no context in which to place one above the other.

2)It's the ideology of that certain things hold more favor in rock music. In addition to criticising "mainstream" music. For some, it's praise for avoiding description of unadventurous musical tastes or a word for just liking rock a whole lot. Sometimes it's a preference to albums over songs, or meaningful lyrics, things like that. In addition to the belief that being a rockist also brings the connotation that rock is the best kind of music, etc. Rockism also prefers human driven sound, as opposed to synth sounds. It's also the belief that music is a form of expressing the artists' self. In addition to believing the ideal that other genres, plainly suck. Take for example, hip hop, pop, techno, trance etc. Rockism "is treating rock as normative."

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Sufjan Stevens. Well, while I appreciate the unique and less "popular" Deerhoof, I prefer Sufjan Stevens. Deerhoof has a much different sound that I haven't been exposed to for long enough. As opposed to Sufjan Stevens, which has a variety of unique sounds and instruments. In addition, the vocals of Sufjan Stevens are, in my opinion, more well "choreographed" to the music. However, the sounds of some songs of Deerhoof make it a worthy adversary. For instance the track "Stuffed" brings a very enjoyable indie sound. However overall I'm not a fan of their indie guitar style, or vocals. Although the drums are spot on.

2) This question caught me off guard, am I in school now? No pain no gain I guess. Ok, Rockism was formed around the 1970-80s by the British media and it is founded on the idea that some artists are more "true" or "authentic" than another band. Rockism is against the technological editing of music like synths and various computer based programs. Rockism believers feel that the music should come from the artists art and not from their hard drive. Rockism is founded, more or less, on the idea that less is more. The less of a computer you have in your music, the more or your soul people hear.

4) Hm...I'm not a fan of either really, but Deerhoof definietely piques me more because of their experimental styles and offbeat song structures. I'm into the more offbeat stuff so I relate to it more, I've been listening to crap like Mr. Bungle for ages, so I can take some weird stuff, Deerhoof is quite normal to me. I'm not forgetting Sufjan, of course. He's a very talented artist and he's had some wonderful songs I really enjoy listening to, "Feel The Illinoise" is a song I keep finding myself coming back to, but I really like some of these experimental outside the box guys. It's just like a breath of fresh air to a stale music world, that goes for the former and the latter.

2)Rockism is the belief that certain music is more organic then others. They believe that rock songwriters and musicians are better then all other genres. They also believe that those that who use the more original rock instruments of drums, guitars, and bass are considered more authentic. Musicians who use synths and electronics are considered to be cop out.
Lyrics are very important as well. The more intense or less mainstream the better. Rockism believes that being able to "feel" the music is the most important thing. It looks down on any form of music created for commercial purposes. Especially music that is more image driven then anything else.

4) I appreciate both Sufjan Stevens and Deerhoof. It's difficult to say which is better. Sufjan Stevens lyrics are amazing, while Deerhoof have amazing song structures. Yet, you can say the same for Sufjan Stevens song structures and Deerhoof's lyrics as well. Personally, I connect with Sufjan Stevens lyrics more and Deerhoof's music more. But it kind of depends on my mood. I think that Sufjan Stevens is a better musician so that makes the songs flow more. Though I like the rawness that Deerhoof plays with.

2) I have never heard of 'rockism' before so I fired up Google and did some research. It seems that rockism is musical "racism". It is the belief that certain genres of music are crap and worthless when compared to other genres. Bands that write and perform their own music are more valued than those "cookie cutter" artist who are churned out daily by the music industry. It has also been used to describe what's "wrong" with the music industry today. It reminds me of being in 8th grade and arguing about which band is better than the other. I mean, if you like it, listen to it. Don't let other people dictate what is "good" and what isn't.

4) I have never heard Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof. I honestly can't say which artist is better. I could try to fake it, but anyone who knows these artists would see right through it. I hope my invite doesn't hinge on the music I listen to. I am sure both artists have their pros and cons. Also I'm sure that their fans will argue for hours about who is better. If I were to get an invite, perhaps I would download both artists and give them a listen. Then I would be able to give an honest opinion.

2) Rockism is a form of musical favoritism. The idea that rock was done "right" in the 1970s helps form society's view on all new music. Some would feel that the rules defining rockism is found by taking the current societies feelings towards "good" rock music and judging future releases off that. Others would feel that the original founders of rock had set in stone the rules for all the current and future releases in its genre. I personally feel rockism can evolve as we discover new musical phenomenas, but still must stick close to its founded roots.

4) My musical tastes are very unique and unfortunately I have not heard either artists' music. To try to compensate for this I searched the web for their music to hear the differences. Here are my findings: I would have to say that both artists are good at what they do. It sounds like Sufjan has great control over his voice and uses this as his strength. Many times artists don't have the greatest voices so they try to cover it up with louder instruments. As for Deerhoof, I feel the band has a great musical ability in their percussion. If I had to choose one over the other I would have to go with Sufjan Stevens for his superior vocal abilities!

2)Rockism is suspicious of the use of technology, from synthesizers to Pro Tools-style computer-based production systems. Rockism places value on the idea of the composer and performer as auteur; authentic music is composed as a sincere form of self-expression, and usually performed by those who composed it. This is as opposed to the notion of manufactured "pop" music, created in assembly line fashion by teams of hired record producers and technicians and performed by pop stars who have little input into the creative process, designed to appeal to a mass market and make profits rather than express authentic sentiments. Rockism is a primitivist ideology; a subtext of rockism is that, at one time in history, they "got music right", and that all subsequent innovations have compromised this purity. (This golden age is often placed sometime during the 1960s or 1970s.) Critics of rockism assert that this vaunted "golden age" of pure, authentic music is a myth, and that popular music never was entirely free of the interference of commercialism, marketing and commodification.

4)Neither of these artists are my style, but with a little research I found the correct answer, "In the band's early years, Matsuzaki [deerhoof] often performed live while wearing an orange bear suit." Contrast that with Stevens' frequent winged performences. So it comes down to orange bear suit versus wings. Get serious, orange bear suit kicks the crap out of wings, Deerhoof wins. And banjos suck. And what is up with the Christmas Songs? Sufjan, if that even is a real first name, puts out 2 records of crap per year (and still manages to put out one good one)I mean who does this guy think he is with all of these albums, Ryan Adams?

2) Rockism is the idea that music should be made buy the artists its performed by. Its against processed pop. Generally most suggest that the high point of popular music was the the late 60's early 70's.

It has been linked to racism. Though that idea is crap.

While i think that the purpose behind rockism is pure, it limits the music you listen to. While music made by an "artist" rather than manufactured "pop" music, sometimes its fun to listen to pop music. Its really just music thats easy to process.

4) Deerhoof, though i like both. Sufjan Stevens Generally does good stuff, though the Christmas album, i didn't like to much. The Christian ideas in his songs tend to put me off cause I'm atheist, but i try not to let that get to me. Deerhoof is goofy music that tends to put me in a good mood. Apple O', Milk Man, and Reveille are my favorite Deerhoof albums. Seven Swans and Illinoise are my favorite Sufjan Stevens Albums. Though i should add I think Sufjan Stevens is a better musician. But thats all that counts.

2) Rockism is an ideology of popular music criticism, originating in the British music press in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The fundamental tenet of rockism is that some forms of popular music, and some musical artists, are more authentic than others. More specifically, authentic popular music fits the rock and roll paradigm; it is made using the basic rock instrumentation of guitars, bass guitars and drums, and fits the structures of a rock and roll song.Examples of this kind of bands that follow this music are Black Sabbath,Iron Maiden,Judas Priest & many other bands of the British Wave of Heavy Metal Age such as Motorhead.

4) Well,to start things off I only know the work of Sufjan Stevens so my vote goes to him. Still, from what I found about Deerhoof and listened at www.pandora.com I can say it pleases me. Stevens routinely ditches folk's scrappy, stripped-down aesthetics, but consistently embraces its stories-of-the-people unanimity. His vocals could be easily (perhaps accurately) read as precious, but they're really more intimate than emo. My favourite Stevens' album is the epic Illinois, where he plays an ambitious musical map of the Unites States of America. Deerhoof has a mixed noise, sugary melodies, and an experimental spirit into sweetly challenging and utterly distinctive music. Their lyrics are heavily-accented by Satomi Matsuzaki's little-girl voice. The more song-like Deerhoof's music gets, the more obviously she becomes a barrier to new fans.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

I believe defhoof is better because its noise-pop and whimsical, playful, brutal music has a wide variaty of songs that everyone loves. They also have influenced alot of music. Defhook is a unique band that many have never heard but good sounding. Nothing can prepare you for the first time you hear one of their records. If you love music you will love Deerhoof. Everyone likes defhook and if you haven't heard of them listen to them once and you'll be hooked. His vocals are what everyone loves and they are overall just a good band.

2) rockism is the idea of making music through the musician their own creative freedom, rather than through pre-packaged music created by labels or merely for the pop of it. basically, music made for the music, and not to make a quick buck. there is argument that no music is purely made without any commercial thought processes behind it, and that all music has some form of produced aspect to it. but basically the term is for bands that don't go with synthesizers and pro tools to hype up their music, rather they perform on the instruments themselves as well as the lyrics, the band being a huge part of the creation of the music. the term is more for rock or metal bands, which is where the actual term came from. I believe the term also began to be in use in britain, where people began preferring this over pop music. think of rock bands in the 80s, and you'd get a good idea of what this whole movement is. pop music is the opposite of this.

3) http://myspace-541.vo.llnwd.net/00375/14/51/375041541_l.jpg

4) Hmm, I like both. Deerhoof has this continual beat that makes you want to nod along to it. It actually reminds me of an art exhibit I attented a couple of years ago called "Cloud City" by FriendsWithYou, where they had this background music to set an installatio they considered a playgound. I am a sucker for the guitar though, and Sufjan Stevens is a lot like the music I listen to. It's much mellower, and his voice compliments the music beautifully. Ultimately, I would probably go with Sufjan Stevens on a day where I'm being told I can only pick from these two artists. Then again, I could definitely find myself listening to Deerhoof on days where I need to vacuum the house. I'm not sure... I guess I can't decide really. They both have their themes and sounds that make them the artists they are. I can really get into the fact that they both have their own sound, and it doesn't quite remind me of other artists today- unless we're going to mix bands together to get their sound.

5) just one.

2) Rockism to me is an outlook on music that covers a number of subjects. I would say rockism is definitely based on the principle that originality is not just nonconformity. Far too many artists try to follow a “formula” that’s been established by artists that have already achieved fame and/or success. These pretender bands may still achieve success, but in the eyes of a rock purist these artists are seen for what they really are – impersonators and frauds. A true follower of rockism also has their own taste in music and does not just follow the crowd. A rockist knows what they like, they stick to the genera that most interests them, and in most cases they criticize music that is outside their genera. A rockist appreciates bands that write their own songs, singers that can actually sing (not lip-sync), and members who can actually play their instruments (and not rely on ghost players). A rockist goes to the concerts, buys the cds, and actually also listens to the non-radio songs. Rockism is still alive and well, although blatant conformity and mainstreamism seems to drown out the rockist ideology.

4) I’d have to say that I prefer the music of Sufjan Stevens. Being from Michigan (where Sufjan is from) I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him play live and it was an amazing experience. His music is very versatile, spanning from electronic to folk music. I can honestly say I haven’t heard Deerhoof as much as Sufjan Stevens. I’m not all that strict when it comes to song structure, but Deerhoof’s music seems to me to be too experimental for my tastes. It seems to me that Sufjan’s studies in music make him the better artist, while most of the artists in Deerhoof have had little formal training. As far as Sufjan goes, I could do without the Christmas album, as well as the idea of the 50 state project (although I have to admit I love the Michigan and Illinois albums). From what I have heard from Deerhoof, it just seems too improvised and unpolished. Of the two, I definitely prefer Sufjan although I do plan on checking out the new album & EP by Deerhoof.

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Rockism is idolizing rock and barley standing rap. Loving the live concert but cant stand the music videos. Basically any means of valuing music in a way that your on one side of things. Having your opinions about music that makes it your own. The term came from rockist which is like being rock not listening to it. Usually anti-rockism is violently pro-pop. Its the critisism of music in a way of you listen to it and no one can take it away from you. Being music and opposing others.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Im going to have to say deerhoof because everyone can like this music. Her voice is a little different but more rockerish rather than Sufjan Stevens whos music is more softer and emoish. More guitar and different than everyone else because of her voice. Music seems more of a red hot chillie peppers with a different voice. It also has louder music and doesn't make you as depressed as much. Its almost as if you could use deerhoof as party music but you couldn't for Sufjan Stevens. Also has a good rythem instead of slow soft voice with a fade beat. Has a faster tempo, better rythem, and not as emotion rock.

5) How many invites do you require?

Only one please

i worked hard on this and it would be really nice if you could send me an invite
thanks

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Rockism is the view that rock is music in its purist form. Everything else is built off the base of rock and roll, using it as a starting point on which to evolve. In a sense, the comparison of all other forms of music to Rock and Roll could be called rockism. It originated in the 60’s and 70’s through the British music media, by writers for magazines like ‘Rolling Stone’. Penning stories about the pioneers of rock, like the Stones and Beatles, these writers set the scene for generations to come. Through their writing, they created a kind of ‘Renaissance of Rock’, and as such the idea of rockism. All forms of music can now be compared to this ‘Renaissance’. Rockism exists in everyone who knows any thing about rock and roll, and helps define what our individual musical tastes are based on. Some may view it as closed mindedness and musical snobbism, but rockism in my view represents that little part in all of us which clings to where we came from.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Having not being exposed to a great deal of Deerhoof, I find it difficult to compare the two artists. But then again the question is who I like better, so my answer is Sufjan Stevens, and I can explain why that is. There is no one word to describe Sufjan Steven music. He can pump out a true indie rock track like “Man of Metropolis”, then contrast it with the bare acoustics and truly haunting vocals of a song like “Casimir Pulaski Day”. He is one of the few artists who could sing a track acapella, and have it sound just as good as if it had been accompanied by one of his faultless orchestral compositions. Who else could find an additive place for an accordion? Sufjan Stevens manages to cover all bases, and I would find I truly impossible for someone to not find one of his tracks which they enjoy. Illinois is one of my favourite albums of all time, and I can always count on a Sufjan tune to act as a soundtrack to my life. Bring on state number three.

b) Sebastian
c) 20
d) male
e) germany


1) Basshunter - lol , cold - a different kind of pain , kollegah - boss der bosse ( german rap )

2) What is rockism? Rockism is a special way of criticism for pop music. Rockism mostly forgo the use of technology. So rockism express
the auteurs values. So it is the opposite of manafacture popular music . But rockism is purely a way of selfexpression thru the music. The rockism ideology relates to the most authentic and pure music which was created mostly in the 60s & 70s. So rockism describes pure music which hasnt the attend to be commercial or sth like that. But in the endeffect rockism means that the music must fit for you and that is what counts.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof?

They both dont fit my style. So its hard to make a decision. But what I read so long about these both, I would give deerhoof the point because they seem to be more experimental and thats what I like. In my opinion u cant tell so clear who is the better artist ( i dont even have heard a song of them ). So what i read about Sufjan Stevens bored me because he makes Indie Rock and thats not really my partiality. In searched a bit for Deerhoof after i got this Question from you and they sound interesting so I get an first impression. After this, I was sure that I never heard such a mixture of different styles combined with this asian voice. All this gives a interesting mix that I like.
I listened to Sufjan stevens too, but for me he doenst make anything special at all so I vote for Deerhoof.
