5. I'm trying to explain to you why most people dislike remixes. And you just insulted me, as you insulted

Figarosmom.

I posted in this thread, when I would otherwise have ignored your OP because I don't like what you posted there, because your response to Figarosmom was so insulting and condescending. And you're doubling down on contempt for people who don't like remixes.

Someone who remixes music is really little different from someone who'd chop up a short story, rearrange it in places, put some parts in a giant font with others in a font so small they're nearly invisible, and call it art.

Or who'd take a painting, rearrange it, and add a filter or lots of different filters to all or some of it.

You'd be unlikely to find very many readers and art lovers applauding the changes.

I'll make exceptions for remixes done if there were audio problems with the original for one reason or another, though those can be bad, too, if ego's involved and the remix just messes up the original release.

But if someone wants a different version of a song, it's much more creative, and creatively honest, to record a cover than do a remix ripping off the original.
