Like a noxious mist, the venomous fog seeps through my speakers into my brain…corroding any glimmer of stereophonic salvation.

I can’t take this shit anymore: the ditsy, plastic blond psuedo-divas (Britany, Christina, Mandy, Jessica…), the prepubescent teams of hairless estrogen (n’sync, backstreet, 98, ricky…), the disheveled ranks of redundant rap-rock travesties (kid rock, papa roach, pod…)

I can’t take this shit anymore. Who let the money hungry execs drive the music industry into this murky purgatory? Who actually likes this shit? When are people going to wise up and give attention to the potent, genre-starting, fad-initiating, artistic crucible that is the underground?!?

Long live 60s/70s rocknroll…
Long live drumnbass…

Amen brother!

I think the industry has been exec driven for some years now, but there is the remaining few music cultures that haven't been touched (dare I say 'yet'?).

D&B, Nu Nrg Trance, Hard House, Gospel House, Gabba (if your into that). These particular types of tech are non-sellable genres for the industry as the teenybopper ppl they are aiming it at won't like it or won't appreciate it, so it's don't sell for them.

It's a crying shame that it has gotten this bad. May music return/evolve into a new way of working for ppl who appreciate GOOD music, and not cheesey pre-manufactred handbag pop, etc...

WTF? cant assosiate papa roach to that shit! only reason ppl dislike him is cuz they play it too much! Shiit papa roach played many years as a small timer in cali, they wernt some no talent band that made it big overnight. and besdies, his music is nothing like those others you listed, and it sure as hell isnt some rock/rap hybrid!

I think you hit it right smack on the nose. Right now, I play in a couple of bands - one straight up rocknroll and the other more trip hop/dnb. For a while, the fact that not enough people were digging the genre (esp the hard edged rock) was beginning to chap my hide. But I think you brought up a really interesting point that lends a new way to look at this scene:

Go for the non-sellable genre just to aliente oneself from the teenyboppers and mtv sheep...

if you're going for the stuff just because it's non-mainstream and non-teenybopper, you're still letting the execs control what you listen to.

i dig a wide vareity of music from gregorian chant to bag pipes to the occasional heavy metal to techno.. rarely do i ever follow a band or a genre... i just get whatever pleases my ears....

when i do listen to the radio, i keep it on the classic rock station, i don't dig rap, hip hop, teeny-bop or most anything that's on mtv, with a few exceptions. and in those cases, hell, i download the mp3.

I'll admit that much of the music coming out recently sucks ass, but that poppa roach song kicks. Dunno if anything else they do is cool.. I'd say that kid rock is cool in the right setting, but I'm afraid I'll get flamed, so I won't say it

ok, first, papa roach sucks.

second, i agree completely, all this music lately does suck hairy goat gonads. what you need to do to figure out what music is more likely to rock is look at the philosophies behind the genre. thats why i like a lot of punk (i cant ever afford it, but i like it) with punk, its like hey, they worlds fucked up, but we can do somethin about it. with this metal shit you have lately, you get hey, the world sucks, there aint jack you can do about it, and im just gonna whine about my middle class upbringings as though i know what truly crappy life is.

most of the newer trendy music that comes out these days sucks ass. thats one reason why i only listen to the radio in the car.
