I dunno if you ask me its all about metal and classic rock, And don't mistake me for only liking Black Metal, I don't like much Death Metal though.
I like the music that all came from, hell I to this day still have Def Leppard casettes.

In fact groupies have been doing this since the 80's glam rock days. As for music. It's more about how hot the singer looks, thinks to TV and music videos. If you want good music, type in Underground rap /rock and pick a cd. or tune in to your local crazy college radio station. If you are to lazy for that then...
Ayah, I remember the chickas would get a major groove on for anything Wagner threw out there. He didn't name it ride of the Valkyries for nuttin! Mmm, the good old days, when men were men, women were women, and Leichtenstein did what it was told!

I'll agree that country has gotten worse, but keep in mind that country and western is a new genre. It used to just be rock before. Pink floyed also wasn't rock, it was psychadellic (it's still not rock). I disagree about the doors though, there have been hundreds of acts that have outdone the doors. Same with the who. Both were great, but they were hardly in the same category as pink floyd (who are still the masters of their game).
WTF is this bull ?
Western music was around before rock, before records, before the phonograph.
OT but Rock n Roll (ya pukes!) was around for a substantial period before rock and evolved from swing and soul/jazz/ragtime (really old but some lyrics and rifts are similar)
Remember you poor black guys sang it decades before some Brit sang it, and better!

Electronics aren't evil, despite what your average rockist will tell you. To me the most dangerous music-related thing on the front of women's rights is "artists" like Taylor Swift. She's a full adult yet sings like she's in early high school. She talks about needing boys all the time, and I don't believe it's a far leap to say just to validate her. She will be praised for being "family friendly," not ever trying to push any boundaries and living in her perceived box and essentially having no soul, however. It's really, really sickening to me.

She could care less. Her target market is tweeny girls. Be careful young Padiwon to not disturb this hive of predators. Throwing raw meat into a nest of velociraptors is nothing compared to a pack of pre-teen girls. If you survive (and you won't) then their moms will run right over you in their minivans. It will not be intentional, they just drive that bad...

Taylor Swift is not a bad influence on women's rights. She writes songs that her audience identifies with, and isn't trying to make her fans grow up too fast. She writes her own songs which makes her way better than the little Disney brats. And she's writing about her own life experiences.

Not sure why you're jealous about someone who sings to a different market than you are. Completely different circle.
$80Bazillion dollars can't be wrong. Tweener crooners make more money than God. In the last concert run Cyrus tickets were multiples of what U2 tickets were. You tap into that market and you tap bank. Plus all these little demon spawn will always remember those dorky songs from the past. They won't remember Elvis, the Beetles, whatever. But they will remember those crooners.

It has a lot less to do with jealousy and a lot more to do with that sinking feeling you get in your gut when you see something and know it isn't right, but then that things starts receiving critical acclaim and you fear for everything around you. Something along those lines.
does everything have to be deep? love songs are wonderful happy things.
butchering Rhiannon is a crime though. it can't be as bad as john mayer's version of Free Falling, hopefully

I don't know about shuma but I know I can say you're wrong. The majority of music at any given time is awful, and a lot of it is really awful. Fortunately the really awful stuff is mostly forgotten, while the good stuff is more likely to stick around.
Truth is there's always enough good music around that if you care to find it you'll never stop hearing great new material. It might not always be to your tastes, but there's a lot of good music out there. Just don't go looking for the good stuff on MTV and then get shocked when they're playing the latest pop tart.

True, it'd be hard to argue music has gotten objectively better (I think an argument could be made for greater diversity and production standards in modern music, but that'd be countered by arguments of how that diversity isn't accessible to modern listeners, and that production standards result in records that are more produced than recorded which can be seen as a bad thing - overall it'd be hard to really establish either way).
I certainly think it'd be just as hard to argue music has gotten worse. When people aren't enjoying modern music as much, it's because of the change in them, not the music. Are people really hunting down decent acts, or just hearing what's on FM radio and remembering the good old days?

I don’t know, I don’t think 20 year olds shouldn’t be allowed to sing about stuff that interests 16 year olds, especially when that stuff was written by the artist when she was 16 or 17. Rap and heavy metal consists of 20, 30 and 40 year olds singing about stuff for teen boys. Should U2 be told to stop singing I Will Follow because it’s a childish song written when they were in their teens?
And regardless of the tripe subject matter, that You Belong to Me song is a pretty slick piece of songwriting – I think everyone who heard it knew it was going to sell a million copies.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

@ Garret: You want Chauvanistic music? Listen to any rock song from the 60s onwards. All of it is about Sex, and how women belong in the kitchen.
But the kings of Chauvanism? MANOWAR. Look up the song Pleasure Slave. Some funny stuff right there...

First off, you just said someones opinion was wrong, which isn't possible. It's his F-ing opinion.
Secondly, there are plenty 20 30 and 40+ metal listeners.
And last of all, U2 should be told to stop because they are ear rape.
You were good until you made the U2 crack. Then I realized you were deaf or insane...

u2 is ear rape? possibly recent u2, but classic u2 like With or Without You, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, All I Want is You, One, Bad, and Pride (In the Name of Love) is magic.
