Your opinion on this?

Pop music these days is bullshit, absolute bullshit. Most of them use the same 4 chords on the same type of guitar over and over again, and often that chord progression is exactly the same as another song. Most singers now have to use autotune just to sound good because they lack proper talent. I know people in the school chior who are above that, who can make their voice pitch perfect on demand. hell, the people in my orchestra can sing better than that, and they don't need to wear blasted meat suits or need to join the latest fad of a boy band to feel good about themselves. Hell, my girlfriend, first chair violist at the school orchestra, can learn how to play songs by Evanescence (A very good newer musical group by the way.) in a matter of hours or even minutes, and can sing like an angel.
Needless to say there are newer bands I like, but the popular songs in this blasted pop ganre with those untalented musical wannabes like One Direction, or Justin Bieber, of snoop dog, and so on, are an insult to music.

I don't pay attention to modern music that much. I like to listen to a time when music was about meaning and telling a story and not just making money.

I Know, it's fucking crazy

such as Keith's song "Nothing But You and I" is one of the most heartfelt realistic love songs I've ever heard, and barely anyone knows it. (and I'm not just saying that because he's Keith, I'm saying it because of the lyrics)

But you make a cheesy songs about one night stands, sex in general, or being someone your not, BAM it's the next big thing.

It seems the music Industry only cares about quantity rather than quality.

That is exactly why I don't listen to today's music. I think Gangnam Style is the only good song out of this crap. I listen to mostly 70-80's and alternatives. Even most smallest bands I listen to, like The Aquabats! They have their own T.V. show as well.

Here is a Oingo Boingo video and you know exactly understand what I mean. Even though Danny Elfman looks like Sheldon Cooper.

Not all modern music is 1 Direction there's more to that.

~basing my answer off the kind of music I like~

On one hand, I really wish the bands with better lyrics (La Dispute, ADTR, Mayday, etc.) had more fans, but on the other hand, they would start to lose their meaning if too many people listened to the bands without understanding. I mean, if those 12 year old girls who listen to 1D started listening to the other aforementioned bands, they would obviously not understand what the bands are all about and the bands would lose what makes them special. Because the thing about these bands is, to understand them you've got to have been through some kind of shit, and not everyone has. So it's about bandom. Bandom would be destroyed. So I'm happy where things are, actually, as much as I hate pop.

I honestly don't care if lyrics are cheesy or not (I love "I Want to Hold Your Hand", but come on, those lyrics aren't exactly groundbreaking). What I do care about is how the artist sings the song. What's missing from the music industry these days are artists who sing with such a passion that turns a song with cheesy lyrics into a great one because they put their heart and soul into it. Artists these days seem to only be focused on the money and getting the next #1 single. We need more passionate artists in the music industry, people who actually care about the quality of the music they're putting out there.

I can actually go on longer about everything that's wrong with the music industry, but that will be a very long paragraph. I think I'll just save it for my blog. LOL.

my opinion?


Pop teeny bopper bands need to grow up. im a country girl and listen to all country and only country. Im a keith urban kinda girl. i really love no other singers. Call me close-minded, but i love only one singer. (keith). I mean, i listen to Florida Georgia Line "Get your shine on" a lot but not NEARLY as much as my keith urban. my room....KEITH URBAN FREAKING EVERYWHERE!!!!! I LOVE IT! This is one of many posters on my wall. Its my favorite one :) it shows his inner happiness! lol

this is my kinda music

(ps the only reason i play guitar is because he is such an inspiration of mine...he made me fall in absolute LOVE with acoustic guitar playing and fall in love with lyrics. i sing a little too... ♥)

I say who cares. Music is changing. You can't do anything about it, plus if you think modern music sucks, why don;t you make your own music? ._."

hye idk how to respond here so just lsiten to kpop??
if any of you say that its like the western crappy nicki minaj thing, i will rip your frudging heart out. keep your opinions to urself ok XDD

Well it's always gonna be like that, I hate it tho.
I listen to a lot of different artist and different kinds of
music, they call me weird because I do.
Not that it bothers me, I think songs that are popular now
really shouldn't be.
Like Talyor Swift's (How ever you spell her name) song, We are never ever ever getting back together.
I hate that song so much I don't know why or how anyone could like that song. I mean it's an oka song but...yea.
It's the name with a lot of rappers also.
But hey song of those songs are good tho, it really all depends on the person's taste in music I guess.

Here´s the thing:
Some are talented by heart and easily get their fameand some make the possible to get famous.
The fame depends on how many people listen to their song, how many buy their CD´s, etc but mostly how many scandals or well..how know they are.
My opinion about music is that some songs are so modificated (autotune,dubstep) , which is a the thing that makes some songs sound..bad and the other thing is that some songs talk about the same topic.

All modern music sucks so bad. All you hear are the same 10 songs on the radio! I'm so glad that my local radio station doesn't play shit like Rihanna, Bieber, Drake, One Direction, or Katy Perry.

They play bands and artists like Godsmack, Nirvana, Alice in chains, Papa Roach, Ozzy Osbourne and the list goes on.

Pop music is trash and needs to be taken off the air waves.

Pop stands for Poisoning Our People

My opinion is. I like mainstream and non-mainstream music. What's talent to someone may be trash to someone else. Opinions are relative. People shouldn't overly hate something just for the fact it's mainstream or not to their liking. And if you do hate something then people shouldn't bash with their hate. I mean I despise Twilight yet I don't tell a Twihard their favorite movie sucks.

My opinion is: Opinions are relative. Different strokes for different folks. The way of the world.

I completely agree. I for one never listen to people such as Wrong Direction and the Beaver Boy. The only reason people say they like these people is because they claim that these singers are 'hot", not the quality of the music. I personally like listening to orchestra music, especially music like this from movie soundtracks. You don't sound like an old lady, you just have more common sense than others when it comes to music.

Yep, listen to some artists with real substance. Like rock artists :D

Well your bashing on the WHOLE modern mainstream music industry...........It's because you see the same artist everywhere like Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Taylor Swift and ect. and other stuff like that not ALL modern shitty ._. Artist like.......
Frank Ocean
Bruno Mars
Diggy Simmons
Drake
Nas
Tupac
Notorious B.I.G
The Weekend
Miguel (I Really Like Him)
Any Of Braxton Sisters
Ne-Yo
Are really good artist that needs to get noticed more because they're music is REALLY good to me and not all popular music has lyrics you know.... -______-

Most music is like that these days. It doesn't seem to matter if it makes sense or mentions more than sex it's mainly about a good beat & becoming a hit. A lot of the songs are catchy whether it's the dumbest song out there or not. There are some recent songs I like so I don't think popular music sucks all the time. I never liked that Gangnam style song though. It's annoying in my opinion and I barely know what the hell he's saying.
