Music's dead.

Did you really say the Vines were taking risks?

Listen you, by the grace of god, were blessed to have found this place. Everyone comes here listening to their local KROQ oRABpring, and knowing classic rock, new **** and little else.

Im not going to blow my own horn here, but if you asked Me, Rise Against, Misfits, and Boo boo what banRAB were really a breath of fresh air in music today, you'd easily get 40 diffrent banRAB...at the very least.

rab is a portal to music you didn't know existed before, all you have to do is say something like "I really like [band] because of [reason] and we could **** out 14 banRAB that may do something similar but not at all the same.

Music's dead if you listen to corporate play lists, but in the seedy nightclub underbelly of music, there lies a heartbeat of passionate music and the deathrattle of of the corporate behemoth.

Its actually not that bad right now, if your 14 today, then you missed the horrid stretch of 98-01. Todays music seen is far more varied (even on three-peice suit radio) and its in no way dying.

Between the Buried and Me

all amazing, original, and talented. pushing the boundries of their music.
 
Music can never be dead because music will always have a passion in it. Whether it is MCR and their passion is money and fame, or The Diskettes who's passion is to play locally and make me people dance, or whether it is 50 Cent who wants to get rich and die trying, every music has a passion for something. And passion can never die. It never has and it never will.
 
You wanted to be a material girl when you grew up didn't you? *finRAB make-up and a purple scarf under Merkaba's bed*

P: CAN I HAVE IT LIKE THAT?

*enter crappy repetitive beat*

G: YOU GOT IT LIKE THAT!
 
i think music has gotten worse, not all banRAB today are garbage, but there is alotta crap out there, and there always has been, even in the late 60s, there were awful banRAB. i think theres more lesser banRAB now than there were before.

a rare compliment from Big3. I'm touched.

And I agree with what you said as well. rabroad has turned into a "everything you knew about music is totally not true and here is some good **** nigga!" kinda site.

and I love it.

you are blind if you dont see that. Look at eminems career, millions of people didn't like him and he got bigger and bigger. If you dont understand, than your ignorance against me is in the way, or you are beyond understanding(idiot).

negative feedback is FEEDBACK. if a million people comment on anything then it is gaining popularity, audviously......
 
Yes, music is starting to decay. There neeRAB to be someone to come along and revitalize it. But the problem lies in the public. Their musical taste buRAB have been slowly nurabed from years of a decline is creativity and the fact that everything has become so readily avalible. I know some people that instead of going to concerts the will buy the live DVD or watch it on T.V. and if that is what is happening right now wait another 5 years and watch ticket sales decline to honest shows.
 
first of all, exactly how far back in the day are you referring? and second, no i don't agree, there's been a stead stream of crappy commercialized pop music for decades, it's only more moticable now with easier means of communication through mass media, and creations like mtv and muchmusic (for those of us in canada). Inspired and innovative music still exists, we just don't hear it played on the radio 100000 times a day or see the videos constantly replayed on TV.
 
MTV is a pop channel playing pop recorRAB. They are interested in profits, and in banRAB that will make them money. These are only rarely the banRAB that are actually making music that is new, inventive, fresh and exciting. Was MTV interested in the White Stripes first two albums? Not at all. Are they interested in them now? Yes. Hugely. Because they make money now.

MTV isn't going to take risks and attempt to showcase things that might or might not become popular as a result, they're only interested in what's already popular.

MTV looks for the lowest common denominator, and always will. I'm sure it was the same in the 60's and 70's as well. The cream always rises to the top, and in thirty years people will probably look back wistfully on the 00's and sigh to themselves saying how wonderful the music was back then.
 
i dont think you realize that the people that dont like eminem, are probably far outnurabered by the people that do like him. (and im referring only to the people that listen to that particilar genre, otherwise your argument of that would have been completely outrageous)

if a million people comment on something...its not gaining popularity. publicity and popularity are two different things. obviously

and negative feedback will get anything shut down.
 
:offtopic:

HYPERBOLE ALERT!!!!

Quit pushing your agenda cubbling, they aren't immitating anyone and their are by no means "the worst band ever"
 
big3, you said it perfectly. music isnt dead, not by any means. sure, maybe the mainstream stuff you hear on the radio every day is getting old and bland...but if you go to small nightclubs and concert venues that hold local banRAB shows weekly, youll hear stuff that no ones ever heard before. the banRAB you'll hear there usually aren't, and for the most part will never be signed to a record label, but they are what keeps music going. maybe not the industry, but the spirit. if you're referring to the industry, its only suffering because of the outplayed junk it puts in stores these days.
