This is what happens when I have nothing to do on Saturday nights. (Which is usually every Saturday night.) Although I don't always rant. Not always. Anyway. Radio: you know those stations that play the top fourty or whatever?Not rock, or alternative, or classical, or indie, or anything else of quality? (Lady Gaga, Owl City...that's about all I know of those aforementioned horror-stations) Makes me sad. I asked someone what the difference between a soundtrack and a score was and they were clueless :( But really, "I Wanna take a ride on your disco stick"? HUH?! That's not music...that's noise with some slutty lyrics and a crappy, overused beat. And I'm 14 so that's saying something (maybe) Sure, Linkin Park is overplayed, but it has decent lyrics, and they're better than decent sometimes. But Anya Marina, Blue Foundation, Yiruma, Ingrid Michaelson, Enya, Armin van Buuren, RENT! My point is, how can people ignore the fact that popular music is only a tiny, tiny percentage of music everywhere else? Sure, these people were lucky enough to get a break and get to the top, but how can you possibly compare Miley Cyrus to, persay, Alana Grace? Or Oasis? (Ahh...Oasis, how I love you so...stupid Noel Gallagher...you're a lyrical genius but an idiot at the same time) I guess it comes down to opinion. There's no set definition for good music. In the ear of the beholder (or some other clever way of saying that...) I hate pop culture. Yeah, there are people my age who listen to Rise Against and other delightful tunes, but still. The fact that the number one song in America contains the line "Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,everybody ride her, just like a bus route" is deeply sad. I don't care if it's about the trials and tribulations of the ghetto- admit it...probably half of people listening to it are 13 year old girls. And number two? "Move that bitch crazy, Walk walk fashion baby" (Bad Romance...*gag*) Number three (my personal favorite...) "And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger/But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger" What's worse? This song is called Tik Tok by someone who can't even use only letters in their stage name Ke$ha? These lyrics? Or that the average percentage of youth listening to this have no clue who Mick Jagger is? Or that he looks terrible? (which leaves me confused...why would you want someon who looks like Mick Jagger? Aside from the cash? I guess if you're a hooker you'd be happy with his payment...I dunno...) Rant over. If you don't agree, too bad. Post a comment or something, I don't really care.
