 Topic  Bad Music 
 Message  First of all, i know that taste in music is all a matter of opinion. I know "we’re all different" and that i shouldn’t judge. Okay. I get all that bullshit, but for real...

If you’re a musician, how do you justify making bad music? How do you back up your terrible lyrics? Your boring and predictable breakdowns? How do you do it? For real, i wanna know. It just irritates me that there is so much bad music out there. & what’s worse is that there are people that swallow it whole. They love it, the purchase it, they encourage it. GRR.

There are just some bands that need to disband right now. (Atreyu, this means you.)
I can’t handle the message being sent out there right now..."Anyone can make music, as long as you look good!!!!"

NO. NO. NO

Fuck your eyeliner, your girl pants, and your myspace pics. You can’t write, compose, or sing. You’re not deep, you’re not tortured, you’re not new. You’re trendy and safe. You’re after girls, drugs, and scene points.

c’mon, i got a point . Good music is hard to come by.

Message stupid emo muzik should DIE.


it is statments like that one there which cause arguements about music anyway.



2) The main comment about ppl making shitty music. You pretty much hit the nail on the head when you said everyone has different taste. No one feels like they are making shitty music. Music is just like art. IT is all in accordence with what the artists vision is. The great thing is that, we as listeners, can choose what we want to subject our ears to. Whether it be a new song that is set up just like last years great pop song, or something ultra progressive that never looks the same way twice. There is room for those two and everything else inbetween in the world of music.

that says it all. in fact everything that he said says it all.

what is wrong with you people?


having a mind of your own is about being what you want and not what others would want you to be!

can’t you see?

to tell someone that the music they like is bad and shitty, that they should listen to what you think is good is basically like telling them to be something else. live up to standards that you set.

there is music out there that i think isn’t good, does that give me the sole right to go into the street and scream that it’s horrible and should be wiped from the face of the earth?? no. does it give me the right to tell those who happen to enjoy it that they’re wrong and should listen to what i think is best? no. i have more respect for individuality than that.

i don’t mind the "you sucks" stating your opinion is a right everyone is entitled to, but when stating your opinion becomes violent and you start to judge others based on their taste in music, when you begin trying to force people into being and liking what you want, then that is where i will draw the line.

so say it sucks. it’s okay. i think under the influence of giants sucks.

i don’t think they deserve to die though.


scincerely,
~My Tragedy~

 Message   Look at Mister Fizzle’s; music is indeed art, and of course we are all going to have different opinions. I think too much of this thread is people dumping on whatever it is they don’t like; somehow everyone is of the mindset that everyone should like what they like and hate what they hate. It’s a pointless argument.

"If you’re a musician, how do you justify making bad music? How do you back up your terrible lyrics? Your boring and predictable breakdowns? How do you do it? For real, i wanna know."

You answered it here, yano:

"there are people that swallow it whole. They love it, the purchase it, they encourage it."

Bottom line: if it sells, you dish it out.

 Message  Bad music is bad music. It has little or no originality, immature lyrics, and the musician usually has little talent. Otherwise, it’s pretty much a matter of opinion. i’m not a big fan of most of the new music they have today; although I just listened to Lindsey Lohan’s album, ’Speak’, and I must say I was surprised. The music has originality, a nice melody and a great beat. Her voice is relatively simple, and she is not exactly a professional singer, but dang, she does a good job! The only other music I like is, let’s see...A few classics by Van Morrison, Glen Campbell, anything and everything by Nora Jones....that’s about it. Oh yeah, and Elton John, how could I forget him....ever hear that song ’Hazard’ about the river in Nebraska....

 Message  Dollface, it’s mainstream because it’s good and a shitload of people’s opinions are a lot more important than what a few other’s deem worthy.

Don’t worry about it and fucking dance.

 Message  Wow. This thing is still up...

I mentioned in up there, that Atreyu sucks. Let me explain myself.

First of all, I liked Atreyu a few years back. They just released their first album and i really liked it. At the time, what they were doing wasn’t "new" but it showed potential. They, as a band showed this amazing potential. They were great live. It was nice to see. Then they released their second album. I felt like i had been burned. It was such a disappointment. They weren’t branching out, they were playing it safe. They had the formula down. They new what would sell, what would attract new, younger fans. And what do you know, they got them. Must be like playing a game of Jacks for them. Scoop, the 15 year-olds went right into their gloved hands. To top the tops, their latest album is just dribble. They aren’t even trying. How is this acceptable? I would love to ask them, personally. I would love to know the reason they seem to be so scared of trying something new.

One could argue they are trying to see to a certain market. Alright, fine, lets go there.

This Market, this SCENE, it will end. Like everything else, somthing will become cooler. It’s just how it works folks. So they are not musicians as much as they are just body parts to a scene of music. It makes me sad. Saying they suck was on my part wrong, but i feel let down.

& the pink spiders?! cricket, somebody tell me that they are a spoof. The Snakes on a Plane of music. Because then i wouldn’t be having this heart attack.

I would love to have a sit down with some of these people.

I would love to know their influences and their reasons.

I’m just flat disgusted with what’s popular and main stream.

 Message  i don’t really follow rock music too much but rap is going down the fucking drain and so is R&B. their are only a few artists who are still truly original in the game right now

r&b:
alicia keys
mary j. blidge
etc.

there are practically no mainstream rappers who will rap about anything meaningful but u can find them if u look hard enough. look for rappers like:
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Common
Pharoahe Monche
Black Thought
Little Brother
Mike Shinoda/Fort Minor

hip hop is dying and we need more emcees to try to ressurect it

 Message  The thing that really makes me pissed off is what happened to all the originality,and do it for then love of music,then the money.
What happened to the great muscians who did’nt stick to the same genre and routine LIKE the Beatles and DAVID BOWIE jeeeezzz they experimented with there music all the way through their careers.
I reckon muscians these days are to freaked to get out of the catergorie they put themselver in and yes prehaps losse some fans with diffrent music,but they gonna get a whole lot more.
Music needs to keep changing as it it did in the past,right now where in the dualdrums,stuck in a repeating fashion of bad radio music that you only put up with if you can’t be stuffed doing anything about it.
((can’t spell))

 Message  Ok trend bands I will say could suck my big toe. (Greenday, Atreyu, New 30 Seconds to Mars, Manson, fall out boy, MCR, and all the other image bands. ESPECIALLY THE WHORES THATG CAN’T ACTUALLY SING OR WRITE!!! like britney speirs. And tard that can’t write anything good... Like black eyes peas...) Honestly 30 Seconds to Mars. Their new emo crap suck horribly and it makes me want to go kick all those guys in the shin.. But their old stuff, their whole first album was awsome with 1 exeption, that was buddah for many, didn’t care for that one so much. Or Manson, manson isn’t bad his music isn’t terrile, I like "Beautiful People" and he did a pretty good cover of "Sweet Dreams" but he started up for all the wrong reasons. Everyone else I listed are completely talentless freaks who suck and are just in it because their sad little fasion whores who can’t sing or write for themselves. (the ones that actually do sing their own stuff w/o editing just suck and desperatly need training, and a better sence of taste. Manson and 30STM are not bad but I lost alot of respect for them as musitions because one changed to fit in and the other started for the wrong reasons.
I honestly can’t bare to sit and listen to Guys in their late 30’s that sound like they havn’t hit puberty (Almost all new punk) Little chomos who can’t handle life and like to bitch about how much it suchs (All EMO) And over sexed assholes with alot of money (Almost all rap hip-hop and some r&b) I myself am a Hard Rocker/ Metal head. and their is crap spewing from the music I like too. But I think in every genre if you look hard enough you can find artists who are artists, not money grubbing bitches. I like Industrial. Techno. Goth Instrumental, Hard Rock, and Good Old Metal.
(The Purehands. Orbital. Appocalyptica. A Perfect Circle. Metallica, spineshank, system of a down) these guys rock, and they rock hard.. because they do it because it’s their medium in which they express themselves and they do it very well and make it their own... Point is where ever you look your gonna find Crap... Like Creed...... But thats an inevitability. Just gotta be an individual and look for the good stuff... "DON’T GIVE INTO THE COORPERATE MACHINE MAN!™" (Hahaha jk jk jk, sorry but I had to. ^_~)

 Message  No, but you’re right Seele.

Buster, Rap and R&B may sing a majority of only three things (Sex, Girls & Bling), but Rock and all that shit all sound the same.

 Message  Yeah. Music is going a little to the dumps. Actually society is going to the dumps. I mean it’s sex, sex, sex everywhere, in your face. They use sex to sell things like bloomin’ toothpaste!

I have nothing against so called ’emo’ music, but it does get a little annoying. The lyrics are all like, ’I want to die," sort of thing and I just find myself yelling "Just go commit suicide then you idiot, give us all a rest from our constant whining!"
Don’t get me wrong, some depressing stuff rocks. I just don’t like the simple languaged ’look at me caus I’m sooo depressed. I even slash up my wrists!’ crud.

Oh, yeah and may I just say to those saying ’so-and-so suck’: "Would you mind just GROWING UP." Heeheee I’m mature.

WORLD DOMINATION WILL BE MINE!
