    Define good. Is Korn good metal music? To some yes.

    Punk, ska and The LivingTombstone are best music

    Those are pretty awesome, but I think that my favorites are ACDC, Queen and Disturbed. I'm one of the few modern teens who actually listens to GOOD music and not crap like Justin bieber and most Rap music. I don't mean to sound egotisical or anything though, just pointing out some of my tastes in music.

    It's a shame trance has nothing on punk.

    Opinions on music is different. There are horrible bands and music artist that in no way have talent. At somepoint opinions are wrong, unless you believe that Justin bieber is an artist or double take or rebecca black. Most modern music artist today make songs a about partying. That's real good music I tell you what. Or we can listen to modern rap and crunk, excellent example of failing genres.

    Your post, it seems that matter is now solved.

    On to more pressing matters.

    Equestria, where is it and how do we get there?

    However, opinions as to what is art are still opinions, and music, falling under art, is also based on opinions. Equally an opinion is your opinion that your opinions are all truth and correct, which circularly asserts itself.

    For example, you believe that hope is strongest of all, since it amplifies and is amplified by will and negates fear. Yet, hope by itself is powerless. Thus, is it not weakest?

    Opinions.

    Let's discuss more, why not.

    Take for example the Jedi code.

    There is no emotion, there is peace.
    There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
    There is no passion, there is serenity.
    There is no chaos, there is harmony.
    There is no death, there is the Force.

    Many follow this. Hell, it's a religion! (no pun intended.)
    I am of the opinion that it is stupid, and leads to the worst end of all, emotional death. Infinite peace leads to infinite complacency, and thus infinite stasis, stagnation. Serenity begets apathy. Harmony, homogeneity. While I agree that knowledge is better than ignorance, the rest is completely useless and leads down a wrong path.

    Then, the Sith code.

    Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
    Through passion, I gain strength.
    Through strength, I gain power.
    Through power, I gain victory.
    Through victory, my chains are broken.
    The Force shall free me.

    I believe this is a better path to enlightenment. Emotions are energy, and energy can be manipulated, made useful. What is useful energy but strength, power? And through power over oneself, one has power over others. Thus, when you have power over self and others, you no longer need to control yourself for others. You become able to do whatever you deem necessary, and thus, can cause change, and counteract stagnation. It is this force of change that leads evolution forward, that brings about new things, for better or worse. It is, in the end, a source of hope. A hope for a better tomorrow. Perhaps one many nights from now, and perhaps only after a terrible nightmare, but there is no hope with stagnation. There is only The Force.

    What does it all boil down to? Opinions. People have them.

    Deal with it.
