Crap Music

[Moskitto]

There's loads of complete crap that gets played on the radio at the moment like that "Bad Babysitter" Song, I mean what is that supposed to be about, Teaching kids that it's ok to be really irresponsible doing a job which requires a lot of responsibility?

And then there's all these manufactured bands and artists which just sell millions because of the massive media pompus that's surrounded them.

Any other example

any thing by afro man

though because i got high was funny the first few times i heard it

[Super Xero]

Pop music Sux! its the most commercialist and marketed type of music out there. Bands like Tool are totally against that!

[guerrillaradio]

Pop music
Gangsta rap
UK garage
Indie-rock
Pop-punk
R 'n' B

And anything else for that matter...

[I Will Deny You]

Europop! It's horrible to dance to, and I can't think of any other reason to have it around. Pretty much any shitty rap or boy band/bubble gum, for the same reasons. Hardly any rap that's out right now is really good . . . it's people like Mos Def that we need more of. Also, Linkin Park, Crazy Town, Papa Roach and all those other rap-rock bands with lead singers that are shitty rappers and musicians that don't rock.

[El Brujo]

Pretty much all pop and country music is shit. And nazi bands (Skrewdriver, Split Bound For Glory, etc.) automatically suck.

Well, I don't know a whole lot about country except that most of what I've heard is not great, but I know that bluegrass is truly the shit (that means it's good). My friend & I were discussing it the other day and we've concluded that since the Soggy Bottom Boys and Ralph Stanley performed on the Grammys last week, bluegrass will be 'the next big thing' and there may even be a craze similar to that of Latin music a few years ago. I was into both Latin & bluegrass before they became 'popular' though.

Europop and Eurodance are both indeed pure excrement. Rap has practically gone to the dogs, except for a few exceptions like Mos Def, Common, Blackstar, The Coup, Q-Tip (sometimes), Nas, & maybe Wyclef. There are additional ones as well. There still remains some decent R&B but most people would be more apt to classify it as soul or something like that.

Also, it's funny people say bands (or groups, since they can't even spell instrument) are 'manufactured,' but that was just a label and none of them were truly manufactured until O-Town came into the picture. And, on a weekly basis, I see ads in the newspaper in which organizers explain that they are 'seeking hard-working & dedicated girls between 18 and 25 to form an R&B group. Muct be able to tour!!' That's despicable! What ever happened to the days when best buddies would sit in the garage or basement, write good songs, and then play their hearts out? Now, people sit in their limos or expensive penthouses, pay middle-aged white men & women to write bad songs, and basically sell their souls (or what little they had in the beginning) to corporatism & the contemptible machine.

What exactly is UK Garage anyway?

Unless its classical music, its pop, and music is a media product and has to be marketed to people so the record companies can sell their product. I once saw an advert in NME for Tool's new album, the sell-outs. *rolls his eyes*

UK Garage is a sub-division of dance and rap, which originates from London and the surounding area. I dont like it, but im growing to respect it (when it isnt So Solid Crew).

I doubt that Tool chose to have their album advertised somehow. It was probably the work of the UK label, who have no idea about Tool's ideas (they probably don't even know who they are). Tool themselves most likely have no idea...it's sad though cos Radiohead (the other very anti-corporate band) advertised Kid A and Amnesiac on the telly (of all places!!!)...the voiceover said "Amnesiac...the EXCELLENT new album from Radiohead". Now THAT'S selling out.

UK Garage is an abomination. I will never ever stoop that low. It's the real lowest common denominator music for people who are obsessed with their cred. I swear Adidas, Reebok et al are paying all the artists to market their products. Recently there was a UK Garage #1 single comprised of the words: "do you really like it?/ Is it, is it wicked?/ We're lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it/ We're lovin' it like that". Need I say anymore??

gangsta rap?
NWA and eazy-e were gangsta rappers and they were against commercialized rap.
i thought they were great because they told it like it is.

but looking back didn't Dr. Dre bring commercialized rap to a new level? Wasn't he the first to really sell rap out?
Eazy E and Ice Cube didn't do it much better....and well Yella and that other guy just disappeared.

The only really good NWA song was fuck the police anyway...thy were pretty sexist.

I'll repeat myself now, for the people that missed out last time, and look about for the irony, its in there somewhere. :)

A CD is a media product, and to be made in the first place the record company needs to know that it will sell and they will make money off of it. So ... pop music is made to be sold, and so is rock music.
So when Tool signed their record contract, and when Radiohead signed theirs, they both understood that the CD they made would be sold to people. Advertising is just a bi-product of this contract, a way to get people to acknowledge the music and possibly consider buying it. As soon has a record contract is signed they have sold out, and that is why rock music is no better than pop. That is why musical snobbery exists, because people think RATM are better than Backstreet Boys, but they are both making money for the same people.
Im not discrediting any music here, or any messages any artists are trying to get across, im trying to destroy the myth that all rock music is purely released for people to listen to, while pop is released to make money. All CD's are the same, a bit of plastic with a few songs on; all the profit goes back to the main men.

The only slight difference around in this is if music is from an independent label, but even then its just the same as above but on a much smaller scale.

[anarchoveganLAM]

ech the last guy was right; NWA, 2Pac, dead prez, Public Enemy is all good shit. Mos Def and Nas are good too though, except that Nas and Puff Daddy song.

theres a really bad song on the radio now that goes "my neck my back" that i hear people singing. its really bad. as is anything by ludacris like "roll out roll out homie homie", "i wanna lick lick lick you from yo head to yo toes", "move ***** get out da way get out day way ***** get out da way" and "you's a ho! ho!"

horrible horrible horrible...

[death b4 dishonour]

ANY CHRISTIAN ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
man its like poison to my ears

[Xvall]

I think by "Gangsta Rap" he means the kind where the rappers just rant on about women and money, the kind with the music videos of girls dancing in the background on a mercedes benz...
