#2This site looks great, signed up. However:
> Next Big Thing is not a place for ... anything else flat out offensive.
One of my favourite bands at the moment is "Rotting Christ" that name alone is very offensive to some people. Does that mean I can't post stuff about them? Where is the line? Can I post anything Black metal related? What about Gore Grind?
I think music has a much wider view of what is acceptable than tech. For example a lot of music/art is made with the sole purpose of being offensive. This is going to be hard to moderate.

#4I like this idea, but I can't see it's use. :(

#5I'll be sure to keep checking this out. It could end up being pretty good.
A bit off topic: I'd love to see something like this but for motion graphics. I had planned to try to build it but that's clearly not my skillset, ha.

I agree. Labelling music is one thing, but outright censorship will ensure your project never takes off. However, after looking at your site, I don't get it. I thought the music would be embedded in the page itself. Also, you have music and news/editorial links on the same page. What's more there's no tagging/categorization so I have no way of filtering music to my tastes.
The site looks slick and you deserve kudos for the effort. But I think you should seriously consider the value proposition of "The Next Big Thing."
EDIT: I just went back to you site and discovered that you do in fact separate music and news/editorial links.

If you have no objection to a band, song or album cover that degrades your mother or someone else you love and revere, then hey, maybe it should all be fair game.
Do you understand where I'm getting at? That's how Christians feel with names like that.
P.S. I don't think for a second that the name of someone you love should be degraded. Nor should someone I love either. That's my point.

Twitter censors, Facebook censors, Hacker News censors, and they took off. I can support my argument. Can you with yours?
