question of the day....are we just getting old? i have an answer, which is "yes", but it doesn't have much backing behind it. im basing this all off of music preference. so...long story short...i HATE the music that's coming out today. i dont know whether its supposed to be rap/r&b/pop/whatever. basically anything that is played on 106 The Beat (for the west coasters) or whatever the heck the radio station is out here on the east coast falls into this category of suckage. songs no longer have any tune...lyrics have no changes in pitch or tone....and the lyrics dont even have rhythm. it really sounds like one person talking somewhat normally (borderline retardedly) to a pathetic beat that's repeated every 1 (maybe two if you're lucky) measures. also...saying words like a ignorant retard (ex: yeeeaaaahhhhh, hoooo-kaaaayyy!) and coming up with at least 10 different ways to say "shake your ass like a *enter noun here*" shouldn't be considered cool. hm...believe it or not, that was the short version of a long story. an example to show the seriousness of this situation: i enjoy listening to k-fed rap relative to today's crap. anywho, back to the whole "old" thing. so...obviously this crappy music is the music of this year's current high school generation. i remember when i was in high school (when destiny's child ruled, mya was hot, ludacris and nelly were new) i felt that anybody who thought that music was crap (mostly adults) were just old old farts. i dont think im an old old fart now, but i seriously feel that the current music is serious crap! therefore...evidence #1 that we are getting old. evidence #2: we find ourselves listening to the music of a generation some 15 years before our high school time. these songs are pseudo-oldies. we listen to psuedo-oldies. therefore we are old. example: alexis has gone through a damien marley splurge. i have returned to dj quik and dj jazzy jeff. alfred has been blasting the temptations. all this...done without shame...with a sort of subconscious pride i'd imagine... ladies and gents...i believe that our music preferences has led us to a precipitous fall into the world of "old". adult diapers are in aisle 9....just across from the menopause relief pills. |
