Symptom of the universe

today, people think that music is too simple and they can make a pop band
with one hit in all their entire career without knowledge in this world. Please,
someone, DO SOMETHING!!!! Rap is pollution, with its poor lyrical performance
and electronic music. Grunge is the same thing. punk rock is also the worst
invention in the industry of music, if this music......In one word,

MUSIC IS FALLING!

Blog..?

More like 'Ranting Room' fodder. Not that it really a worthy rant. If you dont like Rap or grunge dont listen to it. Some people do, so let them enjoy it.

dont think anyone has ever been that impressed with the music scene around them. to the prog community the 70s seems pretty cool, but you have to remember, for every interesting band in the 70s, there was countless lame pop acts. of course, that brief era at the end of the 60s and begining of the 70s was a very special time for rock music and most other forms of art, but its passed and will never be again. 'poor lyrical performance'? what, as opposed to Yes?

It's on the sound sistem inside the room we work. It's on the mall. It's on the supermarket ambient music.   You can't escape it... one has to keep up with it. ... unless you become a hermit... don't see, don't hear, don't talk, don't live.

Not much use ranting about it.

I love prog and classic rock but still I like some alternative bands from now on like Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon and from the pop section I like Simply Red and Inxs well it's actually new wave.

I read your post MAN ERG and I really like it it's quite good. Here in Argentina happens the same with electronic music all my friends love that and thinks is great. In all my "parties" I have to dance with that. Okay it maybe good to dance but come on why don't you put The Who or Beatles to dance it's funner and better !

Just because there's something wrong doesn't mean it's necessarily bad.Some bands you should listen to:Stone Temple PilotsNOFXI Mother EarthPrimusTool (early Tool, when they were still Grunge)Saul WilliamsThe StreetsJedi Mind Tricks

When was Tool ever Grunge?

By the way I like early Old School Hip Hop and Punk! The problem with today is the difference between "product" music written in a board room and music (of all genres) that wants to be more authentic. There is music out there that tries to be overly formulaic, to get a broad concenses of buyers. The record company sees that something has worked and pushes it out with the least amount of effort. Plus the average consumer (the age the market to) is age 10 - 13 years old, the product reflects this.

You see it in movies, the biggest movie blockbusters often get the razzie award for worst picture of the year. This though is not typified by any genre, they are in all even Prog. So calm down, the underground is a lot easier to access now with the internet.
