People who listen to radio music are all really stupid conformist sheep vastly inferior to myself. And they dress stupid. Stupid preps. So stupid. God, why don't they like what I like?

im scared to ask.. but what kind of stuff?

This. Jeez the amount of self-fellating here is obnoxious. The ironic thing is I bet if 'the masses' did start listening tot he kind of music everyone here listens to - half of you would hate it.

I don't think anybody here has been obnoxious. I actually love pop music although I don't particularly care for the current pop but I don't see how that makes someone obnoxious when were just discussing music.

......I care about the industry and where its going. If you ask me, ever since especially when Lady Gaga came out it has gone to (thumbs down, raspberries). Ever since LG's arrival, you've had Kesha, Katy Perry, Lorde, all copycats copying mediocre sounds (I almost stopped using Roland keyboards after Roland began endorsing LG).

They say everything comes back in style eventually. I believe we are beginning to see this in music. With the 80's how everything was dance pop oriented (e.g. Michael Jackson) Same goes for the vinyls, even new ones. So I believe the Lady Gaga/Beyonce thing we're seeing is a nowadays Madonna thing going on. The problem that exits that didn't exist in the 80's is the technology. When Madonna was out, what was king was the Roland Juno's and NES. Fast forward almost 30 years later, now we have so many more dance friendly products (e.g. Ableton, Propellerhead), the dreaded autotuning and other computer friendly software/hardware I think getting out of the recreated 80's buzz might take some time. If we're lucky, we'll get another Nirvana/Offspring comeback.
