What's so great about the music these days? I mean, I have to be honest. Fetty Wap, Drake, etc.. They suck. There is no thought put into their so-called "music". Even I could pull a better song out of my ass.
Personally, I prefer P!ATD, Melanie Martinez, TDG, Evanescence and many more.
Just tell me.
Why are these people getting so much praise for the crappiest songs I've ever heard? -
gas money

Opinions.
Some people actually like it.
I agree, though. They're crappy to me. I'd rather listen to K-Pop, One Direction, Adele, 5SoS, and yeah.
I swear if I hear the song "Watch Me Whip" (idk what it's called) or, "Hit the Quan" I'm going to punch someone. -
YES SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY FEELS
When the music you grew up to is considered old now >.< . -
Watch me whip. Watch me naenae. Watch me whip whip. Watch me naenae.

"Hear".
Not "read. -
I honestly don't know. All they're doing now is just repeating the same sentence throughout the whole song. I think of it as crap. Sadly, people who feel as if they're from "the hood" think its cool
And
Makes them seem tough. It really doesn't, it actually does hurt my ears.
Everyone around me expects me to know this
When I say I don't
They lose respect in me.
Sorry I dont listen to songs that only have ONE sentence
Sheesh -
Finally, someone that makes sense. The bands that actually make good music are called 'satanic' but people can listen to that bull-s--- music and it will be okay. The music that actually has meaning to it, gets pushed aside, while music that has up-beat tempo and idiotic lyrics get's more attention than anything.

Nikt NoviceI think that people who are 'normal' and listen to 'normal' music are just running away from things that are wrong instead of facing them, and it affects character, and character affects behavior and our likes. And then w're trying to find an end of a 'circle'. To do this, we must 'break' that 'circle' first, and it means we need to destroy something to create something else. Something different.
So, that's what I noticed. It's pretty late where I live, and I should be sleepinh now, and I'm propably using about 1/4 of my brain, so there's big possibility I'm wrong. Still, it works for everyperson I can think of while I'm slowly starting to fall asleep. (Sorry if I offened somebody, I didn't meant to.) -
People have different tastes. They might not be what you're into, but living by the ideal that all music you don't like is bad music, those that listen to it are sheeple, and you're special or smarter because you listen to different music makes you look like the stereotypical egotistical emo kid. The bands you listed off are all mainstream in the alternative community anyway.
-
Nikt NoviceThe Coldest Sun, I agree with you, but 1: let's say you like for example some metal. You are automatically kind of 'special' if 99.9% people you meet everyday can't stand it. And you automatically are kind of smarter than a person who is addicted to some songs with about one rasist and sexist and what-we -call-'bad-influence' sentence through whole song, if music you listen has some deep meaning in lyrics... And 2: these bands may be "mainstream in alternative community", but how many people from "alternative community" you meet on averange day*? For me it's about 0 or 1, or sometimes if I'm 'lucky' it's about 2 -_- (*people you know from the web doesn't count)
-
Nikt NoviceAnd by the way why we 'put' bands into categories like "mainstream" and "not mainstream? Isn't music what really counts? If some bands are just awsome they WILL have a bigger fanbase and then they WILL get kind of "mainstream" at some point... (I'm not saying that "kind of rebelling aginst 'society' by listening different, more meaningful music" is bad. I'm saying that categorising bands like "oh, I don't like them because they are too mainstream" is bad. I know you may just normally say that thing about 'mainstream-ness', but I know some people on the web act like this, so I just wanted to make myself clear)
-
Don't say you agree with me if what you mean is, "I think I'm special for the music I like but I don't think I'm a stereotypical egotistical emo kid".
You're not special for liking any kind of music. For every alternative form of music, there is a huge number of people that listen to it and think they're above everyone else because of it. You pulled that statistic out of your ass.
I've known perfectly intelligent people that listen to that kind of music.
I meet several people in the alternative community every day.
You say that, but you've divided music into "smart s---" and "everyone else's s---". That's bull, whereas mainstream if a term that applies to something widely spread, often played on the radio, something that most people will know if you ask them. -
*And anyway, why don't people from the web count? They're real people. Their musical tastes reflect those of real human beings. Do you want to leave them out because you've seen a good portion of these motherf---ers like alternative music?

Nikt Novice1) Sorry for not answering, I wasn't here for a while
2) Just to make it clear, I'm not emo. I'm more of a SCEMO kid (yes, there's a difference). I'm not really stereotypical, and I'm not egoistical.
3) That statistic was supossed to show how many people like this kind of music comparing to pop/rap/other-popular-genere-of-music and it's based on my own experience, so it's hard for it to be "pulled out of my ass"
4) I said "if sone bands are just awsome ... they WILL get kind of mainstream at some point" & "different, more meaningful music", not "music for idiots and music for intelligent human beings". There's a BIG difference. "Stereotypical egoistical emo kid" WOULD say the second one and I believe you just understand me wrong and that's why I had to write '1)', but I mean that some people would listen to song grieving after a family member or about how wrong violence is, while others would listen to lyrics that consist only of "lalalalala". Compare these two.
5) "term that applies to something widely spread" - well, depends on people you talk to. Everyone knows bands like MCR, FOB etc., yes? So why when I asked literately about half of my friends from school about these bands only one heard of them?
6) "why don't people from web count" - because to that statistic you need random friends you meet on the street. On web you only go on sites that has something to do with your hobbies, and it means that taste in music counts too. If you'd count all people from some band's fanpage the statistic would be false, unless you want to compare this band's fanbase to other bands's fanbases. Looking at how many music generes we have, easier way is to count your friends from for example school. I thought you can figure it out on your own...
