modern music annoys me.
especially in britain, I find all the music on the radio these days is either "emo" or "indie" (meaning independent, and none of these bands are..? dont get it). and its all soul-less, mass produced, identical sounding shit. it has dull, cliched lyrics - its market audience doesnt know any better. there is no real energy in the music. even the names are boring - everything begins with "the" and then has a random plural after it.
examples - the hoosiers, the holloways, the enemy.
emo bands are no better, "my chemical romance"? "fall out boy"? what does that even mean? from an outsiders perspective, it just looks desperate.
the sad thing is, young people lap it up. it isnt cool to like your dads cd collection. it isnt cool not to like whats on the chart show. its not cool to hear lyrics like:
Teenagers scare,
The living shit out of me
They can care less as long as,
Someone will bleed
and not automatically think "WOW". (seriously, it would take someone about twenty seconds to come up with that.)
why?
today i happened upon Patrick Wolf. he makes "new music", but it has LIFE. he knows music. he can play more than 16 instruments. he didnt just learn a few chords on a guitar, look relatively decent and get snapped up by a record company.
why cant all new music be like that?
i reccomend you check out "overture" by patrick wolf or maybe "bluebells" on youtube. then come and tell me that panic at the disco means something.
