Even MTV has become a useless crap lately.

And when I said repetitive lyrics I was talking about songs like Bieber's Baby.

I would like to talk about music but it would be a long ass conversation.

I remember when I used to think all "computer-made" music (electronica) was bad. Then I grew up. Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, SizzleBird, Daft Punk, etc. Most people who make any sort of electronic music usually know how to play an instrument - usually piano/keyboard or an organ.

And I mean, repetetive lyrics? Beatles, Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden - there have always been music with poor or repetetive lyrics. In my opinion it's mainly the music that matters, not the lyrics anyway.


You bring Iron Maiden into this? LOL

I didn't mean Iron Maiden as a whole I just meant there have always been songs with repetive texts. But there is good music today, just a lot of the mainstream stuff isn't to my tastes.

I just thought some of your points were kind of silly.

Hah, fair enough. I don't think they're good anymore (too much angsting over repetetive, overproduced drop-D power chords) but I look at them with nostalgia and occassionally it's cathartic to scream along with them badly.

But seriously every time Godsmack steps out of their comfort zone they make great stuff (Voodoo, The Other Side, Sully Erna's solo record) yet they insist on making the same boring goddamn song over and over.

Let's not forget about Godsmack's killing tracks 'I STAND ALONE' , 'GREED' , 'STRAIGHT OUT OF LINE' , 'AWAKE' ...

Hisingen Blues by Graveyard was pretty popular not too long ago, uhm but I can't really think of much, I rarely watch TV and I rarely listen to mainstream music.

That song is from 2011 Tongue

When it comes to music the TV is not your friend anymore, well only VH1 sometimes maybe

RE: Love for bad music

Hrm, I haven't even listened to a single album from this year as far as I remember... Too much old music to catch up on!

Oh wait, there's the last Eels record but that was disappointing. In fact Eels hasn't released anything really worth hearing since their B-sides collection in 2006.

I suppose, I only really listen to indie rock, some electronica and a little rock from modern times, I'm more of an old time blues guy.

RE: Love for bad music

stuff that most people wouldnt like but i do ? that's easy.. (it's mostly old school rap), Don't get turned down by the fact that it's rap. Old school rap like this includes ZERO amount of hoes, rich cars, bling or violence. here's the proof

RE: Love for bad music

Yeah I'm sorry but I can't take people who think all electronic music is talentless seriously. Yes there's a lot of shitty cookie cutter dance electronica, but there's also just as much interesting, experimental, ambient etc electronica, and a lot of the time that stuff takes more talent to make than a lot of music that requires a whole band. And don't even try to use the whole "you just push buttons it takes no talent" argument. You could say playing guitar takes no talent cause you just strum strings or that drumming takes no talent cause you just hit things with sticks with that logic, which is just stupid.
