Music's deteriorating. How do we stop it?

[Nandez]

Music isn't deteriorating your taste for new music is so you stick to the old.

Music changes people will hate or love it how it goes.
More band and Artists pop everyday with the same old cliche sounds and we listen and decide whether we like it or hate it.
Whether to go for the new or old or both at the same time.
Either way I think staying off and MTV and the Radio are good ideas therefore you cna make up your own mind and not get so sick of the same song playing 5 times in a row.

Wyake up in the mwonin fyeelin lyike P. Diddy

I actually like that song XD But theres a fan page on facebook called, "I think Ke$ha must be confused, please google Mick Jagger" LOL Failure lyrics. But it gets stuck in my head.

[Valiere]

I'm totally joining that group.

EDIT: Bahahaha!

[fruckert]

Yeah, that song popped up at Winter Ball, and I really wish I had a Palm Pilot or something that could hack into the computers they were using for displays so I could stick a picture of Mick Jagger on the screen.

EDIT: Wow, that made no sense.
Oh well.

Mick Jagger's a goddamn troll.

BTW, Joined that Facebook thing

I lissen to a lot of nerdcore, which is about a severe a subversion of hip hop convention as one can get. Love me some Optimus Rhyme. When one of your best tracks is on the subject of social anxiety, well, you're not in kansas anymore.

Sick dude, sick. I listened to this the other day and I was dying to know who was it from!

Hip Hop "culture" is perhaps the most repugnant thing since, I don't know, Hitler. The glorification of greed, sexism, materialism and violence is enough to make most people with a shred of shame denounce the genre altogether. For the longest time I, too, thought I just didn't like hip hop.

I agree here. Some of the absolute rock pioneers and legends touch up on genuinely heartfelt subjects. RHCPs on racism and deaths, Led Zeppelin on heartbreak, Rage ATM on all sorts of controversial subjects.

Then some rappers and "sik init"s bring out songs about lollipops, weed and whores. It's just... pretencious... horse semen.

[Valiere]

I don't know how they can rap about money and materialism when black people (and most rappers are black) are by far the most impoverished racial group in America. Isn't that basically rubbing it in their faces that they'll never have all these cars, jewelry, massive mansions, etc. that you have?

It's to explain how hard their life is.

Music shifts with culture.  I'll bet people from the Renaissance were saying 'This is the end of music as we know it!' when people started writing harmonic music back in the day.  Before that, everything was melodic.  Then ragtimes come and all the white people are like 'Music is dying in front of us!' because it had rhythm.  Then rock 'n roll came and everyone said 'Those vagabonds are killing everything we know!' because it was saucy.

Popular music changes according to culture.  SO, it's not actually music that's deteriorating, but people's taste and our culture.  Nowadays it's all 'Owl City' this and 'Emo' that.

EDIT:  Mega-kick.  Sorry about that.

I may not like rap but at least I can turn it off if I don't like it. What bothers me, the only thing I really can't stand about rap, is that a LOT of young kids listen to it. I'm not saying its the only reason kids join gangs or whatever, I'm not an idiot, but I doubt gangsta rap helps a ten year old kid form their opinions on the world.

Being in a credit retrieval class is not good for the sanity, music-wise.

[drenrin2120]

I agree, more people should smarten up. But there will always be crime no matter who's in charge. Keeping the masses at bay through brainwashing entertainment ( a money making business in itself ) is just a bonus for the rich and powerful. I don't necessarily subscribe to conspiracy theories. But that's me.

[fruckert]

If Beethoven could destroy women, then how does Fitty stand up?

[drenrin2120]

I see what you're saying, there would definitely be less crime but its hard to say how much.

You know what I've always wondered? How many people have you heard say the government is a corrupt? Followed by, "there's we can do about." 300 million people in, disreguarding money constraints and bureaucratic bull ****, a democratic society and there's nothing we can do? I guess it goes back to it's easier to sit down and watch tv and drink beer than get hit in the head by a night stick and arrested. I know that's really off topic but yeah..
