the ding aling thread got me thinking as to why people ehate certain songs.
what is it about some songs that people hate? this question could be debated until the cows come home but i always wondered why, for example, my best friend and i love all the same artists but never agree on the same songs from those artists.
i try not to hate songs cuz they come from someplace - even the shitty ones like anything from Britney but sometimes i just can't stand a certain song.
what song can't you stand and why?

Cause they are crap!

Because we think they're the suxorz. I mean I really can't find a more interesting or eloquent way to put it.

And I can't stand anything by Lumidee, Titney, and "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera. And "Where Is The Love" is PLAYED OUT.

The shits, basically.

VoicesCarry said:

ah.

I can't think of any songs I hate...except for that "Ding a Ling" thing.

I'll give you an example. I hate that Dirty South hip-hop because it's just all-around stupid. They're not really singing about anything with depth. They just wanna drink, get laid, party, get "crunk" and be niggers (yeah, I said it, and what?). And you know what? These record companies love signing these acts because they're proabably out to make us "minorities" look like we've gone ass backwards. Everyone else in the world ses this image and accepts this fact. That probably goes for most of the mainstream hip-hop of today. I prefer alternative or underground hip-hop. At least those artists in that category had meaning to their style. Also, hip-hop pretty much lost it's integiry by the dawn of the SouCal gangsta rap movement in the late 1980's.


See, when I say I hate a certain artist, I say it with an educated reason. I don't go saying I hate something because I just hate it.

I don't like Britney because she's a manufactured, cock-teasing, media-maniuplating, puppet. Plus her music doesn't speak to me.


Morrissey was right in that song, "Panic". Most of the music they play today "Says nothing to me about my life". I don't know what's happened to the industry , but it's not the same as it was in the 60's, 70's or 80's.

Music...makes the people...come together...

But that aspect of hip hop isn't confined to the South.

Considering her sales, there must be a lot of manufactured, cock-teasing, media-manipulating puppet sluts out there. If her music "speaks" to anyone, I feel sorry for them.

That's why I said that it goes for most of the mainstream hip-hop today. It certainly is not limited to the South.

I don't really understand the question. There is no accounting for taste and when it comes to music; there are only really two TYPES of music, GOOD and BAD (I think Duke Ellington once said that).

Ugh, if I had a penis, the following would make it turn inside out: The Barenaked Ladies, Lumidee, Shania Twain, and LFO.

Frank Zappa once said that as long as there was at least one person who truly appreciated it, there can be no such thing as "shit music" - I think that's a good statement.

Of course, Zappa never had a problem with making fun of music he hated, so take that as you will.

Where is Moonbeam when we need him?

You know, if you think about it, in this day and age, even the lamest piece of shit album costs millions to put out and promote. SO much for money well spent.

When I stopped listening to most mainstream music (and by mainstream I mean anything that's ever entered the charts) I don't find this problem in my own case anymore. When people give everything they have to make comletely compromise-free music, even if the end product wouldn't be as "professional" (a misnouner if any) there's still that live throbbing heart to it. And you can hear it, it's a completely different world. So basically, we just hate compromises.

Of course, not everybody in these genres of music make a living out of their records, but they're sure as hell guaranteed to be able to make music basically as long as they like. And in the end, they will have probably even made far much more money along the years than anyone with one or two hit albums. Afterall, limited sales of 30,000 units in the restricted field of cultural production might generate much bigger profit for the artist than sales ten to thirty times bigger for a product that's aimed for the mass market.

Exactly! I can't their song "Take on Me." I know the video was supposed to be all innovative, but something about that song...can't quite put a finger on it.

Oh, and I can't stand Madonna's "Like a Virgin."

Milty said:

Because they suck.

I can sum it up in a word; Perspective.

If everything you listen to is from a certain perspective when you hear something that you can't relate to then you put it in a category. not "you" as the person who started this thread, obviously

Art is art and everyone experiences give way to their own individual perspectives.

I just find it interesting that people can go back and forth arguing with others over their perspectives. Like one would try to convert others to their perspective by arguing over art.

I think some folks seriously buy her stuff to keep her video's in rotation on TV.Cockteaser that she is.

Seriously.
