Why message boards go down hill.

I always find it humorous to read what people thought the dominant genres on the board were over the years. Probably around when I joined indie was king, and it's still got a presence, but not nearly what it used to. Then metal took over, then it died, other **** came and went probably, and now we sit on a site of music snobs who won't shut up about trash pop.

I think it's slowed down a lot here too. For example, 3 dudes talking about Ke$ha where only one is super into them is enough to turn the site into "a site of music snobs who won't shut up about trash pop." You needed more clout than that when I joined.

Let's see, me, Goofle, Qwerty, DJ, mindfulness apparently, and I'm sure I could think of a few more who are heavily into pop.

You and Goofle count. Trashy pop is only a small protion of what Qwertyy listens to and reps. DJ doesn't even talk about music so he doesn't count. And mindfulness doesn't even talk.

I'm heavily into a few pop albums so it's probably me you were thinking of huh.

And yet when it's time to discuss pop Qwerty's right there repping whatever as hard as anyone.

I talk about my dick sometimes but it'd be weird to say that I won't shut up about it.

Do you go on about your penis like he does about Carly Rae Jepsen?

Where is all this pop discussion that comes from Goofle that he automatically gets to count? Pfft.

I don't know if it was specific genres being popular as much as big albums in those genres. I remember in 2010 the albums that I remember inspired the most discussion on the forum were My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, High Violet, The Suburbs, and Innerspeaker.

I do agree that that trashy pop is what seems to drive the majority of the music discussion.

I feel like we don't have albums that touch the whole MB consciousness like that anymore, for better or worse.
