hmm... i see the point here. people say that its just like 2 words repeated over and over and old music was better. i disagree. poker face is pretty similar to cherrybomb but old ppl still like the runaways better than gaga

Correction: Most of it is CATCHY that's why it's popular
by Anonymous14 years ago
Yes, because the majority is always right.
This concludes today's lesson in sarcasm. Next week, we will learn how to insult people, without looking like a douche.

Popular music IS catchy. It's fun to listen to. Is that really such a bad thing? It's popular and fun to sing along to. Get the stick out of your asses
by Anonymous14 years ago
just because someone doesn't agree to your taste in music doesn't mean they have a stick up their ass. Just means that they have different tastes in music. and i don't like this post because it makes the OP seem like they are the shit. which is untrue.

Get the stick out of your ear, if you even have one

So by your logic because this post has more downvotes, it's a shitty post.

Because Rebecca Black's Friday is such a WONDERFUL song!

Why didn't this person put it in category music?
by Anonymous14 years ago
i'm probably going to get tarred and feathered for this, but I never really liked kate perry. I don't like her songs much, seems as if she's just sex appeal. Most musicians are today.

Rebecca Black, get off the internet.

The way I see it the majority of "mainstream/popular" music these days is DEAD!!
ANYONE CAN DO IT!!
You don't need talent anymore. All you need is enough money to pay a REAL musician to write lyrics and music so you can put your name on it.
If your attractive you can be a popular "musician".
If you know the right people you can be a popular "musician".
if you have the money you can be a popular "musician".
If you can press the right buttons on a computer to make sounds you can be a popular "musician".
The only problem is that you won't know squat about what makes music, MUSIC.
of you start of with the mindset of "I don't care how bug I get as a REAL musician." your music probably won't be dead and it will have MEANING.
But that's just what I think. :)

Big not bug. :)

Also. It's usually only popular because people are to stubborn and close minded to listening to something a dumb magazine or popular radio station doesn't say it "in".
It's the same reason why people change their style with what's being sold at the mall.

Yeah, because dance music that clogs up the radio is definitely good, quality music.

Yeah, what's better than music about sex, alcohol and drugs right?
by Anonymous14 years ago
Music is subjective. You like what you like. When you think about it, no music is "good" or "bad." Who defines what's good music and what's bad?
by Anonymous14 years ago
And this leaves me to wonder how many people here actually dislike it due to poor quality/talent, and how many are just hipsters.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Talent/quality definitely.
Also overall sound.

Some (ONLY SOME) of pop music is ok, it's the ones that rely on sex, sex appeal, limited clothing, no clothing, and autotune are the ones that are defacing the music industry.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Example: Black Eyed Peas used to be a decent group. Then they discovered AutoTune.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Exactly, there are some nice ones out there but they're just overshadowed by other groups

"You think I have shitty taste in music? The music I listen to has gotten me through the hardest of times. When people weren't there, music was. Lyrics that describe my life. Not meaningless love songs, or lyrics about getting wasted, or stupid techno songs about sex. The music I listen to is part of who I am. You think it's emo because it actually has some meaning behind it? Fine, don't listen to it. But when your life falls apart, you can go listen to "Like a G6" and hope it gets you through it."

Green Day
Kings of Leon
Other times.... just no:
Lady Gaga
Rebecca Black
Ke$ha
