What's with all the absolutely atroicious music coming out lately? I mean, I understand that American rap and hip hop has been continuing at it's usual IQ-75 level, but why is it that there seems to be all this new music coming out which isn't even really music: it's just beats with a simple (and almost always retarded message) like "Fergalicious" and "wind it up" and the like?

I realise that most music sucks, but why can't we go back to the days when only 95% sucked rather than the 98.5% that we're "enjoying" right now?

Did you realise that every one of my sentences is a question? What's with that?
 
Maybe you're turning Italian; "Everything is a question too. "Hey, what am I, an asshole? What am I, a fucking jerk? Get the fuck out of here. It's right here, all right?"

That said, Wind it Up sounds very much like it was written by someone with a bad LSD-addiction. For serious.

I just spent five minutes figuring out where I heard that recently, before I thought of googling it.
Eddie Murphy rocks.

In any case, yes that particular brand of pop-music sucks. Really, really badly.

That said, it'll get better. Whatever music is popular seems to be going in circles anyway.
 
The recent Brit-Rock-hype kinda caught me off guard. Some of it is really, REALLY bad, too.

Some of it's good though. Better than Oasis, in any case.

Yep it all sucks. Give it a few years and the days of the Backdoor Boys and Nsync will reign supremo.
 
The O Brother soundtrack is legend.

"Good music" does not tend to be timebound, though, don't be ridick. When Mozart was writing his symphonies (which I don't even like that much), there were thousands of half-talented hack grinding out terrible bits of music. It's how it works.
 
Yep. The music that's remembered is generally the good music.

That said, music is pretty subjective and a lot of people will remember a lot of different things as great music. For instance, what I know about 70s music is generally restricted to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Others would probably cite some jazz greats, other fusion or different 70s rock bands.
 
Amen, brotha. This shit has to stop, and pronto. And not only is the music of today degenerate garbage, the names of the bands are equally silly. Only in the 21st century could you listen to bands named "Nipple Belch 2000", "The Revenge of Balthazar Bubblebutt" and not to mention "Tweedballs Scrotumyoddlers".

It's a travesty.

(Note: these bands don't actually exist, I made it all up. But you get my point.)
 
Two words----- Billy Talent.

Nuf said.

Edit: I suppose I should clarify further. They are the ONLY new band to hit big, although they have been around for awhile as PEZ, that I think is worth listening to. Our local alternative radio station plays a lot of the new stuff and it's all crap, except for Billy Talent. Plus they are CANADIAN. :D

No, it doesn't, what you are forgetting is that as it takes only a few people to make a band(an act, orchestra...), from 1 to a about 100 or so, there can be nearly 200 000 000 of them, but the differance is, you'll only have to actively listen a few of them(ten is enough), so the rest, can be what ever crap the world had coming for it.

No they wouldn't, these disillusioned artists would still think people like their music, and make more shit!!

:roll:

...LSD-addiction :lol: But yeah, it's a really awful song and you hear it like 10 times a day if you happen to listen to the radio. Thats probably because here we have only something like 25 different radio channels and they play (s)hit music.

My MP3 files are arrenged by the decades the music is released in.

The 60s folder is about 500MB, as it also contains stuff from the decades before that. The 70s folder is about 400MB, the 80s folder is 1.16GB and my 90s folder, being the decade I spent my teens in, is a whopping 2.5GB.

The 2000s folder, containing the music that is the easiest to approach via computers and is entering it's eighth year of existance, is only 200MB.

One man's chronological idea of where the good music lies.
