Music Banter And It’s Hatred of Mainstream Pop Music (metal, punk)

Urban Hat€monger ? · 05-28-2006, 01:20 PM

why?

If Ashlee Simpson makes a good catchy pop tune why shouldn`t people say they like it.

You make it sound like it`s a new thing that people come along singing chart friendly pop songs that they didn`t write. Elvis did the same thing you know.

And I hate Elvis.

I don't like most of pop's motive. It makes me sick when people don't give a spit on music and only care about money. I'd be damn nieve if I thought there weren't money driven bastards signed to indie labels. They just seem to care a little more about writing seeing how they havent "made it" yet.

Why blame pop for that.

Hip hop & rock music is just as bad for that.

The rock and hip hop you hear on radio stations are the water downed version of their genres and pop is the even more water downed bands. I'm sorry I can't support a genre that is solely driven by sensationalism. Other genres have their cases of such but that's what pop is, writing songs that the general public will like so people will buy your album.

I think you`ll find that pop has been more traditionally singles based rather than album based.

Thats why there are so many one hit wonders around.

Because of peoples love for this **** mainstream pop, people like Paris Hilton are being allowed to break into the music industry. Which will no doubt end up with every girl in my school singing along to her songs.

And, above all, it makes me feel superior to people who like this mainstream pop music when I belittle them. All a dude wants is some love...

Have you heard the Paris Hilton single? I forget the name of it but it's not half bad.

TrampInaTux · 05-28-2006, 01:53 PM

I have heard it. Isn't it called Screwed or something ironic like that? It was terrible.

Meh, I like some pop, and some of it is garbage, but its not just pop thats garbage. Like, that one Jessica Simpson song with you, is a great song as is Ashlee Simpson's pieces of me & I pretty much love everything Hanson, Busted McFly have put out. Its fun/catchy music, I don't see how people can bash pop music that are huge fans of all that 80s music and stuff.

i dont necessarily hate pop music but i cant say that i really like it either
im sure everyone likes some band/artist that are considered pop or of some pop sub genre
like im absolutely in love with linkin park & new found glory
many people consider them pop-rock or whatever
then again, i cant stand the stuff they play on the radio
& i hate all boy/girl bands
so yeah...im very picky
