What's happening to music?

adam

Aw gawd... Must refuse the urge.. to post terrible insults. The world's just gonig straight to hell and Ayn Rand predicted all this some 50 years ago or some shit. Troo story.

Joao Sapiro

it became even more a business

Colemerson

I don't know how you can't fall in love with those power squats..... seriously amazing.

PixelMasher

jesus just take the most generic music and blend it all together for commercial success....or shittyness either or. most songs on the radio i cant even recognize the group any more like TheoryOfaNickelCreed. super lame.

Ruz

ha the last one is just comical. He looks like is squatting to take a dump.

first one is standard awful.

Paul Pepera

I find that power squats are the best way to get the bangs out of my eyes.

Firebert

jeff buckley just rose from the dead so he could purposefully drown himself because of this garbage.

Mark Dygert

1st one sounds like Bloodhound Gangs "ain't nothing but mammals" just a little newer.

I'll take your word for it that the 2nd is crap...

Fool me twice shame on me.

Lamont

Is this what they do in Florida? Is that the hard core version of the Jonas Brothers? The only reason he's pouring out the Old E is cuz he's like: "Holy shit? People actually drink this!? I need a Zima to wash this down!!"

dfacto

You're just getting old. Soon you will be a bitter withered husk, dead to life and its beauty.

Or maybe screamo really does suck, but I'd rather to listen to that than unadulterated shit like grind metal or hardstyle techno.

Wells

I love listening to Brokencyde in the same way I love watching terrible, terrible movies.

It went from repulsive to hilariously awesome. I used to listen to their album on loop when I was scheduling. Sooooo bad.

Crunkcore baby!

MachineMinded

I get a terrible urge to take a chainsaw, rev it up and make an upward motion starting from the crotch of those guys.... must fight the urge...

bounchfx

yup, there's a lot of garbage out there

We're all gonna die in 2012 so what does all this matter? :P (However, I rather die to good music and the stuff posted above doesn't fall into that category).

Justin Meisse

ask your parents the exact moment they realized music became shit. Black Sabbath was my dad's Brokencyde, he used to call Ozzy "Faggy Fagborne"

rooster

silly adam, that's not music
nothings happened to music

Thegodzero

... i'm going to return to listening to pink floyd now...

konstruct

thank god I missed the generation where looking like a girl was cool. ...PHEW.

rolfness

second vid ahahah.. that is the power of thigh master

Thegodzero

With the 80's the fashion may have been horrendous but at least we got some good music from it. Now we get the shit fashion and no good music, or maybe i'm looking in the wrong places...

Parnell

Lowest common denominator.
Just ask Sectaurs, we saw the people this music will appeal to at a fireworks show on 4th of July.
Having teeth was optional.

there's TONS of great music today, however none of it is in the mainstream eyes. at least back then there was Zeppelin and Floyd. nowadays most big hits are people with zero talent musically.

TWilson

I suppose with the 6.7 billion people on the planet now the percentage of retards has gone up enough to support some really lame musicians like this.

I'm sure there are lots of good ones but I've been enjoying this 80s influenced music lately: http://www.myspace.com/m83

JasonLavoie

I think all the good music (I guess more "underground" stuff) isn't all that "sellable" because it seems to me its too advanced for some of the population out there. Seems like labels now a days must spoon feed these dumbass's "new" copycat bands constantly or the world will end or something.

If you wall want to listen to some good music, look no furthur then Canada's indie / rock scene, I am biased, but our shit is good!

Target_Renegade

The first one has got to be the shittest college band ever, and the second band is very confused.

rooster

lets put this in perspective. i mean, if you think of the 80s and all you remember is good music, you're nuts. sorry.. yeah there was some good stuff, and there was some DIRE music.. same with every decade innit

Justin Meisse

80's!

Second vid is hilariously great. CRABCORE ftw!!!!

Zwebbie

I was listening to Bach, stopped to listen the first song Adam posted, and then went back to the Baroque master. It's an odd experience to contrast them.

Music has been going downhill since they started dumbing it down in the 1750's.

Lord McMutton

Pshaw. Who needs real lyrics?

We engage the rose tinted glasses/shit filters. 80s music was shite in the 80s (apart from Adam Ant), but in hindsight we take the 10% that stands the test of time and declare the 80s to have had great music.

lefix

oh, and i also love m83.
kind of ironic that i discover music i actually like in such a thread

gavku

pfft i don't see the problem. I don't like either of those songs, but there is way worse music out there.......Eagle where's that teapot vid at?

Rick Stirling

I must also say that some of my favourite music is from the 80s, but I never heard it back when it was being made.

fritz

damn....i'm just happy i'm goin to the jesus lizard reunion show.

moose

i kept waiting for a "shawty" somewhere in those videos.

i was sorely disappointed

I got to majorly disagree. In my opinion the 80's had some of the best music of any decade! 1 hit wonder after wonder that now serve as the inspiration for so many (lame) covers unfortunately...but still goes to show how much that decade has inspired and influenced musicians of today

Yeah, I had turned off what I was listening to to be able to check that out...going back to that now.

Don't know really what to say to that. I can usually see the appeal in most forms of music but having a hard time with that. Oh well...back to my own musical world.

The 80s at least had good songwriters writing pop music.

marshal: get it right! this is the correct way to present that song:

80's music/culture was pretty horrible overall after about 1981.
loved 90's music though

Frump

I'm with Sectaurs, I've listened to quite a bit of BrokeNCYDE just due to how hilariously bad they are. They have even worse songs than Freaxxx.

On the topic of 80's music, I listen to quite a bit of it. You can't definitively say everything from the 80's is good or bad, there are exceptions and in-betweens.

Anyway, here's some obligatory excellent music.

This song, which is the best, has apparently been removed from his myspace.

From Adam's first post, the first video just reminds me of most rap/pop (ie; it sucks).
The second video, while the song/vocals are complete ASS, actually has decent music.
