Music and Mainstream Crap Criticism

[BritNi]

Ed Sheeran must be one of the greatest musicians of this generation.

His new album or whatever with all the collaborations... good job keeping it fresh and sexy.

 

[BritNi]

Another one.

Weezer. Staaaaahp

 

[BritNi]

Why the fuck is Mötley Crüe playing on my 2019 Rock feed?

Definitely Leppard too.
Hysteria (long version) wtf.

This doesnt belong with 2019 music.
Ugh.

Even the shittiest of music can help some people in the darkest of times.
Whatever a person is feeling or into, I try not to judge.
That said, when it comes down to it most music is garbage. Inspirational garbage.

True story.

 

[BritNi]

Some music, though, has a negative effect, though, too. And can be a contributor to:
violence, suicide, depression.

Of course other factors come in to play though, so I dunno... Some music is pure shit all around.

I'm not judging people for what they like, I'm only staying my opinion as to what I like/dislike. To each their own, for sure. You'll never hear me talk down on someone for their tastes in music.

 

[BritNi]

These are great.
Classics with a modern twist, I can appreciate.

 

[Ifur]

Hihi, this fits the theme, and is a song I love:

I hardly listen to music nowadays, compared to other years. So many artists are ruining it, as well as the record labels.

Sounds like you're getting to that age. It happened to us all.

 

[wiredandwound]

I'm not a fan of most rap, anyhow. I don't like the derogatory, meaningless stuff. I need something with heart. Unless it's just for comical amusement. Lol.

Like this?

 

[wiredandwound]

Art should be just that: art. It shouldn't be heartless word vomit.

"There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed." - Duke Ellington

Yes. This was a real thing. My parents had the album.

Sounds like you're getting to that age. It happened to us all.

Is 27 that age?

 

[BritNi]

Is 27 that age?

Every age is that age.

Lol.

 

[Ren]

Another one.

Weezer. Staaaaahp

I'll never stop being a Weezer fan

Ed Sheeran must be one of the greatest musicians of this generation.

He's a bit too corny for me, to be honest.

 

[BritNi]

I'll never stop being a Weezer fan



He's a bit too corny for me, to be honest.

Corniness is my life sometimes.

Lol.

 

[Ren]

Corniness is my life sometimes.

Lol.

Haha. It is mine too, if I'm honest

I often listen to quite corny music

 

[BritNi]

Haha. It is mine too, if I'm honest

I often listen to quite corny music

Your secret is safe with me.

 

[Ren]

Your secret is safe with me.

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwww baaaaarf!

And regarding the song, whoever put the time, money and energy into making an installation that will bleat this song on an infinite loop in the African desert should be buried in an anthill.

“Namibian-German artist Max Siedentopf has set up a solar-powered sound installation in the coastal Namib Desert to play the soft-rock classic on a loop. He has chosen an undisclosed spot in the desert to set up six speakers attached to an MP3 player with the single track on it and promises that it will run 'for all eternity'.

'I … wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit 'Africa' in Africa,' Siedentopf told NPR. 'The Namibian desert — which is, with 55 million years, the oldest desert in the world — seemed to be the perfect spot for this.'”
