music discussion and somthing else i cant think of a name for
id like to have a discussion on just how bad music is getting these days one song i will mention as i have a few stats about it
CRANK THAT soulja boy
worst song ive ever turd in the world makes bob the builders mambo number five look good lol.
and i also like to know how it hit no.1 in england? dont think it did in the usa correct me if i am wrong,
Australia when i ask my mates they don't know about it, obviously was rejected lol
but how can people listen to this sort of shit happily the lyrics are crap ive wiped my ass on better pieces of paper then what hes finalized that song on.
what are your thoughts on this subject. i listen to all types of music and music is good and bad and at the moment its looking ugly.
haha i feel the same but! people out there listen to different stuff i reckon Souljah boy needs to DIE i mean cmon a hit song wiht hardly any lyrics but as i said b4 lots of people like that kinda music i like everything but souljah boy just puts me off
people these days have no respect for others and just plain and simle stupidity and causing other people pain is the main get off these days id like to know what ever happened,
i know i Britain they have banned spanking(adminesting(sp) punishment on children)
I think this is where its going wrong, the youth of Britain today is worse then ever half of them cant spell correctly all they want to do is shout (wtf u looking at) when u know they prob cant fight they have some of there own language (chav or townie)
and this sort of thing separates the public into groups like the old days pesents and so on. we now have chav townie traveler common trendy grunge, and many more.
i don't understand this sort of thing to make wars between the different types of music and ways of dressing, but so far i think Britain has toped my list. i have lived in the major places in the world born in auz and raised in auz and lived in Britain china japan usa and so on and they all have their problems. but living in Britain is bad i mean i dint live anywhere special in Britain i lived in SLOUGH so my judgment is around that. i trained as a mechanic in Nottingham and somewhere else that i cant remember the name of XD
so i have being around Britain and its sort of the same in different areas but over all i had a bad expeirance everywhere i went, i had 3 cars stolen my house broken into 2 times fights a regular week to week sort of thing. so my whole time there was not nice,
usa i thought was ok but the people were rude and up them selfs(not pointing at anyone so sorry if this offends anyone)
i was only in the us for a few weeks but left just because my job wasn't working out and i dint really like it but everyone has a preference.
austrailia we have our problems too like lebos (wogs we called them) diff to a British wog means a black person, we have our people who are up to no good and so on so wherever u go these days the whole way its all going we are all crumbling.
china so far is ok but its too democratic, and they are very deceitful and lie and its mainly disgusting.
so as i said before i think that the world is becoming more a war between our selfs and we all need to work out why we have problems with other people, and the way they do things.
on average girls these days are 70% skinnier and i think this is disgusting at certain levels, under 20 pregent rates well we wont talk about that lol, guys think its getting cooler to fight about everything and if we have something new the best thing to do is "willy wave" what a saying! but i admit it we do, do it
but i cant figure out where it is coming from is it a lack of social education or just that at a young age we are all trying to impress each other and, "willy wave" about anything and everything in desperate attempts to fit in?
now im not pleading inercent at all im no better but i have only noticed these things and i would like to see what other people opinions are
im dyslexic so if u cant get this please tell me and ill try and find some one to proff read it so that you can all understand.
think i diverted off the original topic now tho lol
Yer we're slightly off topic here but I see what you're getting at.
It's a sad state of affairs.
When I live in the city during term time I feel like emigrating when I graduate, even though it's a relatively nice place (Southampton) it's still crude.
However when I go back to the countryside during holidays there's no other place I'd rather be. There are places in the UK where you can get away from it, luckily my parents live in one of those places.
As for that song, I think it's more due to the fact it gets played on the Jo Whiley show on Radio 1 at least 4 times an hour, really only interrupted by the Foo Fighters tbh.
Most POPULAR music is crap, but there's still plenty of good music out there.
It'd be like me saying that everyone in the world is a chav (look it up ) just because that's who I see when I look out my window or walk down the street. It's pop culture, but it's not all there is.
As a side note, Albany Down rock. You should send them money
I'd say girls these days are 80% fatter than 10 years ago.
The amount of lardy,junk food eating, beer swilling trollops is astounding.
I'm off to Slough if that's where all the skinny girls have gone.
I am working on Ringtones of our songs as we speak.
Instead of just sompling the band, my plan is to have an irritating little amphibian screaming all the lyrics.
Yeah most of the songs on like the top 40 are chav songs (Rap and hip hop) I acctually like some rap and hip hop songs, but then crank dat is just pointless bollocks.
Although someone made their own version of it, imo it sounds much better.
Someone called travis barker, bassicly put drums and some guitar over the song. Ill see if i can find the video of it.
Mainstream music in general is a load of toss as its main aim is to make money for the record companies - not to entertain or for the artist to demonstrate their skill and/or love of the medium. As the record companies dictate what's shown on MTV or sold in the high street, rather than something good and original, we get Gwen Stefani's latest turd shoved down our throats instead.
In pretty much every single genre there is, be it death metal or happy hardcore, the non-mainstream stuff is infinitely better than the mainstream.
Ignore the charts, the only way a record reaches number 1 these days is if the majority buy it...and the majority of people in the UK are morons hu tlk lyk dis!1
The standard of some music is a bit crap these days, but its because its easier to release an album than it used to be. You get all those idiots who follow bands from myspace thinking they are cool and original and have discovered some amazing new sound. I just tell them to shutup and put on some Oasis or Queen, then I am happy.
I'm pretty sure that's the way music charts have always worked. People like it/buy it, it goes to #1.
I find that people who blanket dismiss contemporary music as crap are people who don't actually seek out much contemporary music. How many 2007 albums did you listen to last year, for example?
My top albums of the year from 2007 (made for another board, and because I like lists):
01. of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
02. Deerhunter - Cryptograms/Fluorescent Grey EP
03. The Besnard Lakes - Are the Dark Horse 04. Dr. Dog - We All Belong 05. Future of the Left - Curses 06. The Bees - Octopus 07. Amon Tobin - Foley Room 08. Do Make Say Think - You, You're a History in Rust
09. Pan Sonic - Katodivaihe 10. Pantha du Prince - This Bliss 11. Good/Bad/Queen - Good/Bad/Queen 12. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver 13. Richard Hawley - Lady's Bridge 14. Burial - Untrue 15. Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha 16. Ellen Allien - Fabric 34 17. Eluvium - Copia 18. Menomena - Friend and Foe 19. Diplo - Radio One Essential Mix 20. Liars - Liars 21. Panda Bear - Person Pitch 22. Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters 23. The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters
24. John Vanderslice - Emerald City 25. The Field - From Here We Go to Sublime
The point, of course, is that though you might not hear much about it in your day-to-day existence there's always good music out there if you're willing to dig for it. The good stuff has very rarely made up the majority of the popular/mainstream stuff (brief flashes in the 60s and 70s), but it's always been there.
p.s., Oasis are a bunch of wankers! Blur/Pulp FTW.
) just because that's who I see when I look out my window or walk down the street. It's pop culture, but it's not all there is.
who the hell let that happen?
