Default Controversial opinion on music?

Basically my opinion on music is this: adult music if accompanied by dancing especially, is lame, embarrassing, cringe-worthy and simply not cool, I mean they're adults. It doesn't look right or cool in any way acting like a kid onstage when you're not a kid, it's pretty much what immaturity is. Imagine being a father or mother on top of being a singer/dancer?

"Hey kid, where's your dad/mom?"
"Skipping around the stage half-dressed and waving their booty".

It clearly isn't right, I have never taken to older artists and never will. Young cute singers/dancers, sure. If they're below 18 they can be like that but not a responsible adult. It's not exciting, just embarrassing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is an opinion on dancing, not music.

Also, I find it a little bizarre that you apparently think it's more acceptable for minors (by American legal standards at least) to sexualize themselves on stage than adults.

Good lord.

Aren't you a bit too young to be yelling at clouds?

Well, there's your problem.

I don't see the problem with an adult dancing or expressing themselves in a sexual nature to music or in any appropriate context. Do you hate fun or something?

No, stop dancing! Bad adult, bad! Stop doing natural things in your natural habitat like some kind of disgusting human being.

I feel like the only ingredients missing from these posts are "that rap music" and "the youths." Then we'd have the complete portrait of Turn of the Millennium moral panic.

I don't even have words for that opinion.

My controversial opinion... I believe that music and art in general should always always always be innovative and progressive. If you aren't innovative, in my opinion... I wouldn't say that you SHOULDN'T be making music, but I do see it as completely pointless and less valuable as music as opposed to something that is innovative. I feel like if an artist isn't constantly striving to push the boundaries, they have failed as an artist.

Anything that is derivative is a waste of time to me. Mainstream pop is a waste of time. Bands like Artic Monkeys -- waste of time. iamamiwhoami's new album was a complete waste of time to me, like a complete and utter disappointment that had absolutely no reason to even be made.

I also deem derivative music like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry to generally (not all the time) be listened to people who are less intelligent than me, at least on an artistic standpoint. I know someone who straight up cried to Donatella by Lady Gaga. The only way that I have been able to justify people being engaged by mainstream pop and other hyper derivative genres of music is that they aren't artistically intelligent.

There are a couple of Madonna songs that I can enjoy and I can enjoy dance music but when someone's entire musical spectrum revolves around that type of music I sort of have a tendency to instinctively deem them as lesser in that regard.

Also -- anyone who walks around wearing only one earbud is an ******* who is missing half the song and obviously doesn't care about the quality of the music they are listening to.

That's not true though.
