Lack O' Music 2

[House25]

I know its mostly not important, but what to good names for music?

I mean what is T.I.? Or Akon?

 

[Ago Iterum]

thats got to be my biggest rant, songs where the same phrase is repeated over and over and over and over...

Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby Womaniser womaniser womaniser womaniser you're a womaniser baby.

I wonder what the message was that she was trying to put across...

Word.

but the one thing that makes me mad is when the music changes someone, like an assimilationist. ex: look at what hip hop has done to create "Gangsta"

I dislike bands who focus too much on their image (A7X, Slipknot, Gwar, etc) I mean its music for christs sake, nobody cares what you look like.

Not anymore anyway.

Well, i don't know about A7X, I mean I guess they do kinda dress the same.
Slipknot has those masks for some reason. I guess its just a MO for them

I never thought it was possible.

I used to like Slipknot but their continual inclusion of lyrical melodies became asesthetically innapropriate, structurally formulaic (ie.. sing songy chorus, growl the rest of the song), and it revealed the juvenile nature of their writing abilities.

There are also many bands who can do a lot more with a lot less instruments and without the pretension of rubber masks while always posturing like you're a badass.

Hey! I did not type that!

Hate? Too strong a word, but I do dislike specifically American mainstream rappers from 2000 onwards. Its almost as if they gave up after realising their social commentary was falling on dumb idiots ears.

I don't know, I mean Little Wayne's usage of literary devices is pretty impressive. If he swapped out the slang and curse words it would make most English teachers swoon.

If you're going to quote, do it correctly, we dont need anyone pissed off because you made a mistake quoting.

sorry... fixed it

Go away. Nobody needs an internet nanny.

(I didn't mean go away literally. I just meant that the oversight wasn't needed since the person already adressed it and I fixed it.)

 

[soul_rune1984]

I don't like a lot of "today's" music. Most of the music I like is from the late 60's through to the 70's and 80's (mostly 70's) David Bowie, Queen, Yes, Genesis, stuff like that but please no Stones. The only fairly recent artist I like is NIN and Trent's been around for a while now and I occasionally like Manson. He can really put on a show.

 

[LewsTherin]

There is no Blues in R&B today.

They tell me there is rap that isn't about F***ing hoes and popping caps, I haven't heard any. These guys need to leave their gardening equipment alone.

Bands like Linkin Park aren't punk. Ramones, Minor Threat, The Hives, are punk.

People are getting elitist, expecting every new band that comes out to sound like the freaking Beatles. Not everyone who picks up a guitar is immediately going to sound like Kirk Freaking Hammett.

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Totally. Now a days the term is actually a coded marketing term which implies "black pop music". At least that's how the record industry uses it.

Listen to Scouting For Girls.

If the name doesn't point you out to how retarded a band they are, then listening to any pile of foetid shit they've done should.

 

[E-hannon]

Not to piss off anyone else, but I really hate when people reduce a genre to one band. I know alot of people who say they "hate" rap and hip-hop, and while agree that most POP rap and hip-hop is nothing more then a worthless musician and a skilled producer, there is plenty of really good rap. Jurassic 5 is an amazing band and uses some very interesting rhythms in their music. Not to mention A Tribe Called Quest who sample some great Jazz standards in their songs. The point I guess im trying to make is that while yea alot of modern and popular rap and pop artists are absolute failures (dont get me started on soulja boy) there are alot of really good other artists in the genre.

How come its only the people who like Rock that can't stand other genres?

Also if someone calls the entire Electronic music scene "Techno" again I'll kill a puppy.

Techno ; ) Wait! Save the puppy : )

Nah, I kind of know what you mean. But then unless you are heavily involved/interested in several scenes/genres, people (myself included in some cases) tend to just generalise it into clumps of several bands that represent them to the outside world.

Take for example the country music scene. Most people can name johnny cash and perhaps willie nelson and thats about it. Or Industial. People tend to go, 'Oh you mean like Ministy, NIN, Static X right?'

Not to piss off anyone else, but I really hate when people reduce a genre to one band.

I've just gotten used to it and calmly let them listen to whatever they like. The reason that certain bands are associated with the genre is that they tend to be entry points into them, and as such are the easiest things to use when trying to get into a scene.

I remember it took me quite a while to get into things like growled and distorted lyrics but bands like slipknot, machinehead, motorhead and NIN acclimatised me till I could appreciate them. Though I guess I should of realised where I was heading after listening to Mustines voice and not recoiling ; D

I think its because everything else is just way too different.

I mean electronic and use the beats in some hip hop songs, but usually there are no awesome drum or guitar solos, let alone memorable vocals
