i saw this really lame song on u tube - i woulnt even buy it for a buck!!!

it was dumb and the girls in it couldnt even sing

then next thing u know it's on the radio wtf!!!! its shit and it sucks and its on the radio

u-tube put it there and its all wrong

and what's worse is that kids listen 2 it and it impresses them

What?

I put the blame on the people who listen to the bad music, which supports the radio stations and encourages them to continue playing it. Though, I never listen to the radio, so I really don't care what they play..

it never used to bother me - but my kids r now at that impressionable age and the music they listen 2 is pathetic - but i dont want to tell them 2 stop because i dont believe in suppressing things like that and music is important to kids

i just noticed that a lot of the crap comes from u-tube

Have you ever tried playing good music for them? Maybe terrible music is all they know..

they listen to Prince with me but peer group pressure and u-tube

All major radio stations, and even most of the local ones, have their playlists pre-programmed by computer. They have to hit a certain number of markers, so every hour you have to have like 5 chart hits, something by Gaga, something by an up-and-comer, etc....the DJs have nothing to do with what these markers are or what gets played....its just a case of hitting certain demographics. Its why when you listen to crap stations here in the UK like Heart FM you hear the same rubbish hour after hour, Take That, Adele, Katy Perry, and so on.

My dream if I ever with the euro millions lottery is to start my own radio station where I play whatever the hell I want!!

I don't understand this thread.

The reason for shit like this is way bigger and deeper than YouTube.

Right...

Just try exposing your kids to different types of music and allow them to decide what they want to listen to.

And that's true, but I mean even deeper and further than that.

Who OWNS Clear Channel?

That's what I'm talking about. And why do they have shitty artists putting out shitty work?

Which, I won't go into cuz I don't want people to think I'm batshit crazy.... , except to say that people here dismiss Tony VanDam way more than they should. Sure, he/she's obsessed with the topic, but they're not exactly wrong in what they'res saying, and I'll leave it at that.

I just take stock that I don't listen to the radio anymore. I'm not gonna be a zombie.
