Mate, has it ever occurred to you that if you just stopped liking Lady Gaga you wouldn't keep having to the same argument over and over again!
I wasn't defending anything, I just foresaw some other comments people had made potentially starting an "objectivity of music" mini-thread within this one and wanted to cut it off before it had the chance to become the monster that it can. If it was as arbitrary as liking a person's music, I might, or at least never admit it openly and not worry a second about it. There's something deeply personal about the relationship Gaga fans have which I won't begin to attempt to explain, but think of it as a mini hippy movement for swallowable terminology. Sooner or later "you people" will see the full effect

"The music you young whippersnappers listen to is nothing compared to what my ancestors used to listen to."
I must agree with whomever said that "Of course it's bad, its not metal" (my comp is being slow, cant see who it was)
And come on, Almost all musicians (pop, rock, rap, other popular ones, not so much classical) have never grown up because they've never had to, all it is to them is booze, boobs, and bongs. Why should they not make women out to be sex objects, thats all (most) teenage men think of women anyway.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
actually slarg, the classical composers of the day were pretty much concerned with boobs and booze too I think

A slum in scotland... the only shinty with a computer!
im pretty sure music booze and women are kinda related in some way.... probubly in a little triangle thing with arrows going from one to another and back, there are songs about women, there are songs about booze. booze makes most musicions feel a little bit enspired easyer, and booze makes you want women, women want booze, and listen to music(i presume).
Music is more of an oppinion, its like cheese in a few ways, everones got there favorite type of cheese, and youll defend it to the ends of the damn earth, doesnt mean your right or wrong though!!
i think music has gotten better personaly, as the skill of musicions is learnt quicker by someone already knowing it and passing the techneke on instead of havting to figure it out yourself, like everything nearly, technology and history are kinda pushing music forward, as people have to get better and do new things. there isnt much point in say U2 did exactly the same as say justin boober(should be the other way round realy).
lost my line of thought there as i has to blank my mind from the thoughts of that little kid.

Hey, no-one's forcing you to listen to 'today's music', you could always just listen to old music that you like, then start a band that plays the type of music you enjoy.
'Be the change you want to see in the world', as they (rather cheesily) say.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

The issue with people that only like a certain genre of music is that they usually aren't very discerning in their tastes. Theres so much bad metal out there it the prince of space couldn't roll a ball big enough to get it all. There's good stuff too. As my first post as a not banned man I will post some great music of differing genres for people to listen too and educate themselves.
World folk
Accordian, drum, and a voice.
Prog rock
Electric Guitar, drum, and a voice.
Nu Metal
Bunch of instruments.
Electronic/world
Everything.
Electronic/retro
Beeps and boops
Funk
A flute and some sweet ass drums
Educate yourselves!

commercial radio is one of the biggest problems with the music industry. every station plays a better variety of the same 10 songs.

No, and agree with the criticism of plastic beach (gorillaz new album) in that he didn't try hard enough to get collaborators and it ended up coming off as a bit of a classic blur album. Blurs lame.

Thats because every station is owned by clear channel. Stop listening to radio.
