Listen to Real Music + Bitch About How Bad Music is Today

Gunkan

This is not the place to come if you like artists like Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Drake, Hannah Montana, all crunkcore, etc. and in general guys who sound like girls. Alternatively, if you think modern pop music is utter horsecrap, welcome.

Post songs, either title, youtube, other link, or all of the above (unless that lags the site down, in which case don't), and, if your day really stinks of dog turd, even rant, but don't expect anyone to read it. Also, please at least attempt to avoid going full asshole and lashing out at others on the thread just because they have different taste.

I'm not saying that only music from decades ago is good, just for now I think I had ought to establish a good foundation.

Without further ado,

Too Young, Nat King Cole

Honestly I think modern music is more exciting and interesting than the tunes of any other decade.

Anyone calling modern music not as good as the past decades really isn't making any effort at all to explore.

WarshipArc

You do realize that music was just as bad then as it was now.
Also that the "real" artists got just as much air time as they do now.
Case in point…

This beat Led Zeplin on the charts back in the day, LED FUCKING ZEPPLIN!

Did you even proofread your post?
"Don't come in here with bad shit."
"Please don't lash out at others for different tastes."
I don't care if someone brings up Deuces as a good song, that's just an idiotic start and sounds pretty bratty overall.

Wagomu

That's three thumbs down from AP's music council in a row. I think it's safe to say this thread is over.

Khamolen

Where's the line about liking "all kinds of music except country and rap"?

ChesCa

I'm sorry, but I can't resist.
My favorite song ever and should be the theme for this thread.

(Okay, now I'll let the actual music experts do the actual work)

Gunkan

Well can't say I'm not disappointed. I know that there's bad stuff from decades ago, but there's also good stuff. Do you guys really think that autotuning and, well, shallow lyrics can match up to what I posted? You really don't enjoy that?

By the way, someone said that I was implying that all music save for rap and country is good. Blatant lies. I posted "The Message" in this. Also, I never used the word shit, and I think someone quoted me saying shit somewhere.

Bucephalus

fuck of god

did you really just pull the "autotune and shallow lyrics card"

i have to go to bed, but, someone, just tear this dumbfuck apart

Either you are one obvious troll or just completely thick. Either way, I am not wasting any more time on this lost cause.

Nope. No clue at all. I don't know anything about music and am thus making baseless accusation-OH WAIT that's what you're doing. Sorry. My mistake.

Now I'm done.

I never said rap was bad. Rap can definitely be good, but it's songs like "I Can Transform Ya" that can't even hold a good beat and flat out aren't pleasing to the ears.

quick question for you Gunkan, have you listened to music BESIDES music from the radio? I'd really like to know.

Kylor

Yes, let us talk about how music of today is horrible, and the music of the past was far superior.

Now, we shall discuss.

I don't mean to kiss ass at all but Nujabes and Cunninlynguists? YES. YES.
Deltron's cool, too.

Japanese? GAGLE all the way

I love this band. they're labeled J-POP. I don't like calling them J-POP.

! From pop/poprock

! to Indie

! to whatever this can be called (I'll say alternative, but it has those jazzy chords)

! to even a country song!

And both frontmen have their own solo projects, which I love as well

Ah, think I got a bit ahead of myself there..

Now, I wouldn't call this outright horsecrap like pop music; however, to me the sound is pretty generic, sometimes off beat and slow, and there are many classics from before the turn of the century that are classic for a reason.

Also you should probably list the title and the artist, even though it says so in the video, just in case somebody wants to find the song again easily.

Sorry, didn't include just audio in this. You can check mp3skull, etc., however some of the versions are worse.

And man! Did somebody earlier make fun of classical music? Although there's a lot which is nothing worth wasting your ears on, the best of Mozart is certainly more interesting to listen to than essentially anything made in this past decade.

What the fuck are you talking about "offbeat".

and slow,

ahahahahahaha, what the hell kind of hip-hop fan are you?
Slow isn't a problem if that's the goddamn intent of the song. It's a style for crying out loud. Do you have any idea who UGK is? Devin the Dude?
Ever heard of these 90's rap artists? lol

and there are many classics from before the turn of the century that are classic for a reason.

Don't lecture me on 80's or 90's hip-hop, don't even think about posting videos about them.

I could post circles around you fifty thousand times and still not be done on that subject. You know nothing on rap next to me.
In fact I have a feeling this could even hold true for all rock earlier than the 90's, and even all rock soon enough.

You're being attacked by three people in particular, myself, Wagomu, and though she just dropped a sarcastic smiley, Holy Hell.
The three of us all know more about all music of all times than you. And our point is you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Swizz Beats is a horrible producer and a great example of a shitty time period of the past since his style of beats were popular in the late 90's. Which was mostly a crappy time for rap.

Oh and post something that everyone doesn't know already.
Oh wow! Tupac! Biggie! Ice Cube!
You're really educating us professor!

or…The BEATLES

or...This band I heard once, NIRVANA.

They are all old and good. Not bad and new like Justin Beiber and Kesha.

What's with TC mentioning Hannah Montanah anyway? She's not even relevant anymore.

Mr M

Did he really ask Wagomu if he knows music?

What's "real music" please explain what this is? You can at least get rid of that part and make your title more clear.

Hm? What? O: This is 'real music' to me… Actually that's a lie. I like way more types of music, that are from different generations as well.

Music => Preferences => Music you like + Music you don't like. Doesn't mean that the music you don't like isn't 'real music' or bad music tho. And you can't be generic with music either. Take for example a bucket filled with apples. Imagine that there are several bad apples in there and also several types of apples and you don't like some of them. You can't just throw all the apples away just because a few are bad and because some of those apples aren't the ones you like. That's how music of every year is. A big bucket filled with apples. Some are bad, some are good, some are Granny Smith, others are Fuji and others are Honeycrisp. Granny Smith apples rule just for the record.
