Your Opinion on Mainstream Music

General Discussion
41

Pop: going strong. A lot of it has transitioned into electro-pop. Britney, Gaga, and Madonna to name a few.

Country: pretty solid for the last year or two. Sugarland and Toby Keith are awful, but most of the stuff I hear on the radio ranges from decent-good.

Rock: not really on my radar.

Rap: mostly abysmal these days. Kanye and Jay-Z are consistently great, but Drake, Wiz, and Wayne are fucking terrible. Jeezy isn’t a master lyricist, but he’s good for a few chuckles.

So, if I turn on the radio these days, it’s all right. It’s certainly been worse. I listen to weird, French robot music :shrug:.

I really hate how “pop” has turned into “dance” music and know every kid knows what trance/house is when what they listen to is comercial shit bruvs. not to mention how dubstep is in every movie trailer and commercial, that 15 minutes is gonna be more like 5 at this rate, which isnt a bad thing imo.

43

i think you are overexaggerating here. It’s not in EVERY single movie trailer and commercial.

44

I do that a lot bruv.

45

lol I didn’t expect people to actually reply to this. I guess people can’t pass up an opportunity to talk about the music they don’t like.

SOULJA!!

Some of it’s good. Most of it’s terribly overrated.

48

It’s too bad how big record labels won’t sign bands and artists if they’re too good. It’s the same with radio stations. Too good? No air play.

That’s why mainstream music is awful. Talented artists are forced to remain in obscurity, because no one wants to listen to good music.

Well…almost no one. Underground heads are the only people that GET it. They find all of the really good stuff. Anyone who listens to FM radio is a fag.

honestly its really hard to not do a post carrying on about the music I do like ><

Fortunately for me, the music I like has a lot of cred :stuck_out_tongue:

95% of mainstream is shit we get it, mods please close this thread. Lol

“mainstream” radio songs all sound same. It either is some sob story, stupid club song even though there past songs wasnt like that, general noise put into one song or simple dubstep.

52

We’re talking about current mainstream right?

Because from like… the 60’s to the early 90’s I would not have minded being mainstream.

53

again the poll question was specifically “What do you think of music today” so i was referring to todays mainstream.

54

Oh good, then I voted alright.

55

Do people have musical taste on SRK? I thought they only listened to Guile’s theme on repeat until death.

56

I have mixed feelings.

I think mainstream went bad when it tried blend every music genre into one convenient CD for Wal-Mart to sell.

It all sounds like pop/techno/dance/house/shitap/shitmetal/shit&b to me for the most part.

The worst offenders are modern R&B and modern pop by far.

Those motherfuckers have been seeping their shit into everything else Britney Spears, maybe before that.

57

Havatchu: Each time I see your avatar, for a second I think its David Bowie.

Edit: also note that the archies had a #1 hit in 1969. Yes, a bubblegum band based on a comic.

59

Rap died with Pac and dmx held it down after his death for a while until he decided to be a crack head
