Music soon to mature......

aturnis · 08-14-2001, 03:56 AM

So long BSB! Glad they'll be gone. I mean.......come on, I've had enough of these teenie boppers and hip-hoppers. In my opinion pop/hip-hop and most all of the stuff you will hear on MTV is a commercial product......the "if something works mock it" attitude gets me because once one band jumps out, everything after it lacks originallity. Did they forget that music is about expression? I'm so glad to see that the teenie-bopper and hip-hop/rap music is ever so slowly fading and making way for modern rock and metal. But now that alot of the stuff I listen to makes the radio and even MTV(hate to admit that) I feel conformed as my peers start listening to MY music! I usually listen to the hits a few months before the cd is even release and before it is released to air play via online downloading services and music sites telling me of the coming releases months ahead of time. Alot of it is trial and error, I download everything and see if I like it.....if I don't it gets deleted....this must be hell on my dial-up modem. I even had some of my follower friends listen to Linkin' Park, Disturbed, Mudvayne, and other such bands two summers ago before they were known talent and they blew it off saying it wasn't their kind of music.....but now, it has hit the radio and MTV and they think its the coolest thing since sliced bread......damn posers! They come up to me and say......have you heard such and such a song by so and so? And I just shake my head and walk away because I now feel like a follower.....though I know I am now a trend-setter.

Well then mr coolguy, why don't you enlighten us with the future of music?

Abba-Dabba · 08-14-2001, 05:09 AM

Hip Hop/Rap fading? When did you come to this conclusion?

I'm sorry I can't respect the words of somebody that considers themself a 18year old Alcoholic.....J/K :D

waKCo · 08-14-2001, 05:31 AM

Freaking Linkin' Park is the boy band of metal no less.

Archie F. Swin · 08-14-2001, 06:23 AM

teenie bopper music will be around as long as there is teen-agers

hip-hop will die just as rock n' roll did . . . or didn't, actually

mcan · 08-14-2001, 06:28 AM

Music trends change every month. Who can keep up? I used to be very particular about everything I listened to, now, I just enjoy it all. I don't care about trends or MTV or radio. Although, despite their talent my brother has me burned out on Radiohead. I'll take a little Clapton/CSN&Y/Eagles anyday though.

**Rausch** · 08-14-2001, 06:35 AM

I'll stick to my Pink Floyd, Clapton, Beatles, Pearl Jam, Stones, Alice in Chains, Various Grunge, and various "oldies"....

mcan · 08-14-2001, 06:41 AM

ahhhhhhhhhhh- I forgot about Floyd. You can hit me as hard as you want.

Admits to singing along to the oldies more than just once in awhile.

Stryker · 08-14-2001, 07:00 AM

I'll stick with...

Judas Priest, KISS, Accept, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Dokken, Raven, Black N' Blue, Rainbow, Impelliteri, Van Halen (old) and Stryper.

Took my (then) 10 year old to see N'Sync in concert in New Orleans BUT, he had to go see KISS with me in Lafayette. When KISS came out and the pyros went off, he was instantly sold.

**ChiefGator** · 08-14-2001, 07:09 AM

I generally have no idea about the teenie-boy or teenie-girl bands. The only way I find out who they are is through Saturday Night Live. And that is a HUGE personal gripe of mine. Why, at 12:45 at night on SNL do I have to be subjected to teenie bands? Aren't all the 13 year olds already in bed and sleeping? Couldn't find any decent musician to play?

Talking Heads

You get the idea....

**Bob Dole** · 08-14-2001, 07:46 AM

Bob Dole appreciates classic Rock and has a collectection dating back to the 70's. Bob Dole also likes to find the new stuff before it hits the radio (or even the record labels).

Been enjoying Puddle of Mudd, Adema, Breaking Point, Drowning Pool, Big Wreck, 40 Below Summer, blah blah blah lately. Cannot manage to get into Slipknot, however.

For you classic rock guys...Ian Hunter's released another CD in April. (But Bob Dole doesn't much care for it so far.)

Gracie Dean · 08-14-2001, 08:49 AM

Gotta have

Beatles
Chicago
Zepplin
Skinner
Boston
REO
Little River Band

Country
Hank Jr.
Alan Jackson
George Strait
Judds
Sammy Kershaw
Tracy Bird

Miles Coltrane
Maynard Ferguson
BBKing

I guess you could say I like a wide variety
