CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:there is some worthy talent out there Arctic-guy but i have to sift through a tonne of septic crap to find it because the guys with talent rarely get airplay or chart success on a large scale because all this generation wants to see/hear(and im generalising?)...is skanky videos,repeatative bollocksy lyircs and stupid looped computer generated beats. and that my friend is not music IMO, its noise/sound aimed at the masses to make a quick buck or two.
there's bands like Black Keys,Gaslight Anthem,Arcade Fire,Imagine Dragons,Fun,Kings Of Leon,My Morning Jacket,Airbourne to name a few, who are keeping rock's home fires burning!
Sounds correct to me. It's not even just a opinion but a very obvious fact. People like what they are. They are attracted to what reminds
them of them and what they can relate to. (Sex, getting the money and being aggressive and disgusting) So the most popular pop music of today is a direct reflection of where we are (in general, not us! lol)
now as a society and what people crave in a fantasy version of themselves. I mean pop artists are always a little over the top and
display a larger than life image, if you get me.
So what kind of person am I? (because one's music taste is a very personal thing) A innocent 90's kid. A kind person who loves music
with real emotion, displaying a happy sense and joyous nature to it. Music that sounds like the video game music that I grew up
with. I crave music with a childish innocence to it and a quirky sound. I'm attracted to beautiful female singers who do pop music
with a uplifting, sophisticated emotional delivery and who you can tell "are good people".
Now you can maybe see why nothing of the current ocean of pop talent does anything for me. But I'm a minority for sure.
