I thought that you liked Ke$ha?

[xandr]

I can't say I particularily dislike anything at the moment. I usually listen to the same old stuff all the time, so anything new goes by unnoticed unless it's from one of the artists/bands I'm listening to already.

[Krogenar]

Miley Cyrus.



I love that shot of Will Smith and his family watching Miley Cyrus twerk -- why is this not a meme yet? Can the people who make the memes get on this, please?

But I am at the age where every change is proof of cultural decay, so nevermind. I opted-out of the culture a long time ago.

[microsoft windows]

Folks call it cultural decay. Then I ask them, "What culture?" It's not like any of these folks like Kim Kardishan or Miley Cyrus had any culture to begin with.

[saturnotaku]

Pearl Jam

[IPT]

Miley Cyrus.

It was while Lady Gaga was performing, and they were chewing gum

 Everything I don't like is the worst

[noisyturtle]

Lil Wayne really is terrible. I don't understand why he's popular in any way, the man can't rap for ****. There are so many better choices when it comes to hip hop.

[ynrozturk]

So much bad music out there it's astonishing. I've never even heard a Miley Cyrus song, I think I'm doing myself a huge favor by avoiding it. I'll just stick to Sabbath and Pink Floyd..

[esoomenona]

Miley Cyrus.

That's hilarious. Was that their actual reactions to that stunt?

[Krogenar]

That's hilarious. Was that their actual reactions to that stunt?

It was reported in the media as such -- which was believable, because it was the reaction of pretty much everyone who saw Miley Virus' VMA performance: gut-wrenching disquiet. High school age girls are watching her twerk, etc. -- it was just nasty. But another GH member pointed out that it might have the Smith's reaction to Madonna Lady Gaga.

My feeling is this: she's a decently skilled stripper, she just has horrible background music.

[sth]

Everything I don't like is the worst

hey guys i too dislike fun catchy songs that are meant to be background music at parties and clubs

[absyrd]

The Grateful Dead

[Thimplum]

Everything I don't like is the worst

I agree.

[nubbinator]

Dave Matthews Band.

About 50% of the stuff Pitchfork raves about.  I swear they often give something rave reviews not because it's good, but because it's different or because it's a band or artist they've been fellating for a long time.  So many ****ty 8/10 or higher bands on there.

[cactux]

Culture club

[daerid]

Say Anything, followed closely by One Republic. But that's just because I associate them with a cheating **** of an ex-girlfriend.

And LMAO at all the people hating on Nickelback and Creed. Nickelback has been consistently selling platinum albums for 10 years. And just one of Creed's albums hit Diamond status. That's 20 million records.

Dissing Creed and Nickelback is just the new hipster/pretentious/too-cool-for-school trend these days. I'm not saying they're "great" artists, and I don't really like a lot of their stuff, but I do like some of it, and such a large amount of people buy/bought their albums that calling them the worst band ever is just.... inaccurate.

And Miley Cyrus? Punk as ****.

Personally I hate pretty much all hip-hop/rap made since 2000 (except Eminem, dude's got skills). You can't call yourself a "thug" or "gangster" when your music videos are nothing but glorified car/mansion/champaigne/escort service advertisements. I much prefer when hip-hop and rap had some honesty to it.

[ynrozturk]

Like NWA. That stuff was great.

[Saviant]

I learnt to hate all the current popular stuff as a worker played it every second I left my shop. But more so Skrilex and all dub step it all sounds the same.

[ynrozturk]

Oh and just because someone sells a bunch of records doesn't mean that it's any good. Most people have really crap taste in music. Sure Nickelback have a few good songs, but do they deserve the truck loads of cash they have? No. There are much better bands writing better songs.

In retrospect, a band like The Aristocrats must surely suck, since they barely sell any records, even though the band has 3 of the best musicians currently alive (Guthrie Govan, Marco Minneman, Bryan Beller)

[Thimplum]

It's not possible to have a 'bad' taste of music. People are entitled to their opinion. It's just that people listen to and buy albums by Nickelback and others because it's the cool thing to do. And then they don't bother trying other music, and tell everyone else that this or that music is the best, and it comes full circle.

[ynrozturk]

People with bad taste in music are the ones who simply don't know any better, in terms of music, out there.

Ok, that's true.

In the words of demik, I hate all these soft rappers.  Drake is probably the worst offender though.  Man he's terrible and annoying.

In your opinion (which is my entire point).

And of course they deserve the cash they make. They write music, people like it and buy it. Capitalism at its finest.

[daerid]

People come up with all sorts of reasons and justifications as to why it happens "oh people don't know any better" and all that. Bull****.

People with bad taste in music are simply people who like stuff you don't.

[ynrozturk]

Meh, some music is just superior to other music in terms of musicianship, composition, arrangement, mix, etc. That is pretty much fact.

[sth]

so what?

[hashbaz]

You're not wrong here, but you're missing the point.  The axes of musicianship, composition, etc. do not and should not directly translate to the axes of popularity and profitability.
