A public service announcement brought to you by the National Anti-Emo Allience:
Why does music suck now-a-days ?!?!
Riddle me that...
Why in-the-name-of-all-that-is-distructive and unholy, does music suck so very badly ??? You can't turn on the radio and hear a good, cheap song any more, like celine dion, or mariah carey...not that I like these people, but would rather put up with them than All-American Rejects or Hawthorne Heights or Green Day. Pretty much every song that is on is some emo crap from some even suckier emo crap band. And people are eating it up !!! That's what's amazing to me. Why do people suck so bad that they think they are emo and that their life is harder than everyone else on the planet and they have to sing about it ??? I admit, my own life is not a garden of roses, but I stopped complaining about it a long time ago, let alone not putting together some dumb band to cry over the mic about it. Now, every crappy teenager & grown-up blowhole who has a band has to sing (ha...sing...like anyone sings anymore..) about dumb stuff.
I miss the days when you could turn on the radio and listen to Alice Cooper, and Alice in Chains, or even Guns-n-Roses. Even VH1 has been playing a bunch of Coldplay, and Daughtry, and Blue October(fags!). The world is in serious need of a Metal uprising again. Not so much the hair bands of the 80s (although they were pretty cool), but we need awesome bands to play 40 minute guitar solos, and heavy drums, and raspy, eerie voices, like Cannibal Corpse or Cradle of Filth.
I'm so very glad that I have my internet radio to keep me tuned in to such gem stations like Radio Satan 666 (Winamp: http://69.56.172.94:8000), who still know and understand the value of such awesome music personalities like Johnny Cash, and the Charlie Daniel's Band and the Crystal Method.
I can't listen to radio anymore...only X96 in the mornings.
It's too bad . I can understand my sister's frustrations with music today. Nothing is good anymore. Underground music is the only place to find anything decent.
I blame Green Day. They did and are doing to music what Nirvana did to metal. They use to be awesome back in the day, then they had to get all political, and start shopping at Hot Topic, then they got all emo...more so than usual. My (now-) roommate Derek and I agree, no more crybabies on the radio or anywhere else !!!!
That's all I have to say about that.
