really? wow, will...i never realized how smart u were. great job.


lol....bottom line, "mediocre" is used in a different context than "average"....they're similar words, but have 2 different uses in the english language. like i said, the word mediocre is very commonly used to describe stuff that is poor in quality.

how about this

you either like something or dont so if an album is really good say  "i like this ALOT"


if u like it  but its not instant classic just say "i like it"


now heres where it gets tricky kids...


if you DONT like an album at all and would never listen again say something to the effect of "i REALLY dont like this album"

if its something that you can see the reedeeming value of but just doesnt appeal to you one could say "i dont like it very much"



no numbers, no decimals just four different options. like it, like it alot, dont like it, really dont like it.


boom. simplified

lol mediocre and average mean the exact same thing.

rating albums isn't like a school exam


5 of 10 = average not failure

That is the original statement you're not agreeing with. It's true,though, 5 out of 10 is indeed the average.

Problem I have with describing albums as average is its all about context

"It's..

average for a 90's Dre beat

average for todays radio

average for 18th century music

average for a Kreayshawn track"

Then it becomes useless when the reviewer is Infinite

5/10 AKA 2.5/5 IS NOT AVERAGE LMAO


WHERE DO YALL GET THIS SHIT?

I was referring to this post from Nik.

[Sccit]

lol mediocre and average mean the exact same thing.

naah, look at the antonyms...they're similar, but they have a slight difference. the main one being that mediocre is used in more of a negative context than average.. learned this shit in like 5th grade lol

"A player of average ability can turn in a mediocre performance. That would mean he probably played below his ability. To say that his ability is mediocre would be an uncommon usage of the word. But, you could say his performance was just average, meaning that compared to others he was somewhere in the middle of the pack."

there are differences.
