What is happening to music?

Crap music has existed since the dawn of time, anyone remember the mr. blobby song? it heralded the end of music as I recall. the crazy frog song is popular because it pi$$es old people off. did you never ask yourself what the next generation are going to be into that'll shock you? anything subversive, untasteful, mildly annoying has already been done. the only alternative for this generation of teens to rebel is a shreaking so loud and highpitched that it will irritate anyone who hears it to the point of madness. If you ignore it, or better still, pretend to like it, it will go away.
To stop that frog 1, 2, 3,
Here's a fresh new way that's trouble free,
It's got the Spacedogs guarentee,
Guarentee is void, in Tralee,
Just don't look, just don't look.
There's next weeks no 1. for you.

it missed the point a bit... anybody who thought that "grunge" and "britpop" were the most exciting things to come out of the nineties, and writes only three whole lines on the 80's [leaving out soft cell, new order, afrika bambaata, the rise of samplers and the birth of hip hop] is clearly someone who has spent the last twenty years with their head under a rock and their fingers in there ears singing black sabbath records to himself imo....
fair enough if you dont like the future, but to ignore the most exciting and innovative music of the last 30 years of the past would seem to be a little bit over the top... granted, an awful lot of people back in the day who were into their dead tree music [thats music made with bits of dead tree] were rather anti the whole notion of progress in music, but even now, thirty years after kraftwerk, 50 years after stockhausen, to refuse to listen to anything that doesnt sound like the stooges or the MC5 or the Jam sounds as bizarre to me as wantng o live in a cave because "thats what we used to do"
all a matter of taste of course, just dont be coming near my cd player at a party

ditto hollywood, books and plays but lets just concentrate on the music
My point is that some people, a lot of people, most people only buy music that is popular, music that they hear on mainstream radio, see on TV, read about in the newspaper, hear in an ad,see in the charts, This may be some of the finest music ever made, Nirvana the Beatles, the kinks or it might be the Crazy frog or the Cha Cha slide or some other crap.
People listen to the music they are given, they don't go looking for music, they are not "into" music, they enjoy it, they consume it but they don't have this internal passion that drives them to seek it out.
I like movies, I watch them, I enjoy them but I'm not passionate about movies, I watch the movies I'm given, I don't seek out old or foreign movies that are supposed to be classics, I don't know who the director is on most of the movies I watch, I'm not interested in the commentaries or interviews with the casting agent or production director on the DVD. I am a "pop" movie user.
To a movie fanatic that may seem odd and strange and in his/her eyes I might have some bad perferences in the movies I like, its the same with music, if you have a passion for music its difficult to understand why certain records sell so well, here's your answer,
it's music for people who don't like "Music"
Agreeing with you more or less 100% my friend... 0 -

You see I just went over major rock happenings and stuff I don't go much for electronica and all these subgenres I love Kraftwerk and James Brown though Olé! Why don't you write that much on the history of music and its revolutions if your so great![cm]tyranny wrote:it missed the point a bit... anybody who thought that "grunge" and "britpop" were the most exciting things to come out of the nineties, and writes only three whole lines on the 80's [leaving out soft cell, new order, afrika bambaata, the rise of samplers and the birth of hip hop] is clearly someone who has spent the last twenty years with their head under a rock and their fingers in there ears singing black sabbath records to himself imo....
