Why Today’s Music Sucks.
Friday, March 31st, 2006Today’s music generally drinks ball sweat
The standard of music these days has dropped lower than Prince Charles’ standards in women. I turn on the radio and get blasted with Black Eyed Peas or some rapper that I’ve never heard of and whose previous occupation was selling crack to small children. The shit they sing about makes obvious the reason that today’s youth is so fucken stupid; Sex, drugs and more sex. Have you heard the crap that is called “My Humps”?
“What u gon’ do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I’m a make, make, make, make you scream
Make u scream, make you scream.
Cause of my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps, check it out!”
That is a clipping from My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas. What kind of shit is that? My ten year old sister and her friends walk around singing this shit, it’s on public radio stations and music video shows all the time. It is frigging shit, and I know what people will say, “That’s just your opinion”. No shit, it is my opinion, and I bet you it’s shared by anyone who hasn’t been infected with the vile ailment I like to call Rhythm-Pop-Rap infection.
How this horrid disease spreads is by infecting owners of shit cars with massive speakers who think that buying a car for $3,000 then spending $5,000 plus on its sound system is a good idea. Then, by playing its self by proxy out of the speaker at massive volumes, infecting others whose IQ’s are bellow 60.
Why do you think that there are specialty stations playing music from the 60’s to late 80’s? That was when music was in its golden age. Half of the hits you hear today are covers or re-worked versions of old songs. Look at the bands from then. Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, The Doors, Guns n’ Roses, The Beatles, Midnight Oil, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan… The list goes on. And all these bands still get airplay, still have records selling and still have a massive following. In 20 years time, do honestly think there will be a classic R&B radio station? An all Hip Hop and Rap station? I highly doubt that will ever happen.
The current quality of music directly contributes to the amount of songs are downloaded from P2P programs. Even the fans of this shit storm of crap, when asked why they download songs, reply with something like “there is only 1 or two good songs on the album, so why buy it?” Even there fans know that 80% of the shit they make isn’t even good enough for their slow witted minds!
What happened to albums that each part was part of a story? Theme albums kick arse! Just look at Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden, that entire album is awesome, along with every other album they have made (all 15 of them). Sure, there’s the one or two shitty songs on a few albums, but the point is that the large majority is great. The albums don’t even need to be theme albums, just a solid album. One average song and the rest a fart in a microphone is not going to move records. But that’s not what I’m talking about here anyway, the point I’m making is that today’s music is shit (with obvious exceptions in the case of real musicians; like anyone who actually sings about things that matter, or plays an instrument. Not talking to a slow drum beat).
Burn your Britney and Beyonce CD’s. Smash your Good Charlotte and Simple Plan CD’s, and start listening to real music!
