Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music
Jared writes "Elton John says that the internet is destroying good music and "stopping people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff." He laments the way that the internet and the emerging industry of digital music has created a cold and impersonal world for artists to create new music in."
I mean, the biggest act of GenX - Nirvana, was an overrated distortion band built around the central premise that Daddy was too mean in my posh suburb and so I had to go and shoot myself. What a bunch of drivel.
And then, Pearl Jam is even worse... It's like, they have that song "Better Man", singing some sympathetic song that's supposed to make me feel sorry for her. But for me, I like to sing that song saracastically... "Ahhhhh pity party..... she lies and still loves him, can't find a better man", like, I'm supposed to feel sorry for her because she's a liar.
Stupid broad, go find a better man, that's what I say.
No amount of distorted sound can correct the whiny nature of today's male music. John Lennon rolls over in his grave at the sound of these p----ies.
This is my sig.
Check out bands like Bathory, who created the Black Metal music scene, or Destruction, credited with the Thrash movement. Examine Thyrane, or Mayhem, or Children of Bodom, perhaps ...And Oceans for a good example of the merging of Black Metal and Symphonic orchestras.
I'm not that familiar with the Black Metal scene, but didn't most of those bands get their start back in the 1990's? If anything, I think the 2000's are going to be known for hip-hop going mainstream. It's true that hip-hop also predates the 2000's, but today's hip-hop is really a mash of hip-hop music with pop and rap, and sounds really different from what was being made 15 years ago.
