i didn't know "street" was a verb

[Jimmy]

yeah, I was kind of confused by the wording of caramelbart's sentence.

[caramelbart]

i didn't know "street" was a verbWould "streets" be a verb? I am using slang here, "street" means circa the day it will be released.

Insulting Justin Timberlake is like shooting a dead horse. It's just plain unnecessary.

Janet’s new album is “tentatively” titled 20 Years Old

Tentative Release Date Summer

[Kuje]

I'd prefer it to be titled "Summer" and released in 20 years, but what do I know. I'll subscribe to this thread in case of any updates.

[Veryjammy]

Caramelbart I wouldn't bother. People here only like 'real' music. Any attempt to discuss music that's in any way mainstream will result in a thousand music nerds descending on you, ridiculing your taste while showing off their own superiority.

Start a thread about a band no-one has heard of who will sell 50 copies of their next album and get no airplay if you want people to listen to you.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

because no matter how much you people whine and bitch about how this board doesn't like shitty pop music, and no matter how much they sit around and criticize you for liking shitty pop music, neither of you are going to change your stances. it's the oldest fucking complaint on this board and no one cares except those that bitch. and to be completely fair to the pretentious listeners, when someone is making threads about JANET FUCKING JACKSON or making posts about blink 182 (i'm looking at you, ihavblink), or nickleback, or slipknot, or whatever the fuck, they have every right to make fun of you because that type of music IS patronizingly dumbed-down crap mass-produced for easy digestion. i don't personally get how someone can listen to that music without feeling like the record companies and the artists themselves are insulting their intelligence.

[rickey]

It's just music though. I mean, why should you let someone's music tastes dictate how you feel about a person? There are a lot of intelligent and funny people out there who listen to Coldplay, or Controller Controller, or Arctic Monkeys...y'know whatever is popular at the moment. I don't see how anyone is "dumber" for listening to mainstream music. There's a reason it's called mainstream music, because most of the general public out there, which consitutes 70-80% of the population, who listen to it. I don't listen to mainstream music, but I don't judge anyone who does.

[Lounge Fly]

Most retarded thread ever.

[MashColoringBook]

Can not agree more. I can not judge a person on their musical tastes either. I just think these people don't feel patronized by their music because they just have no clue that there is honest real music out there not being shoved down their throats. They are just ready to listen to what's hot. (And sadly, what's hot right now seems to be bastardized versions of bands I enjoy, like Television...) Although, I'm sorry to say to you, DNS, that Franz Ferdinand feels like that to me. So, I guess opinions of what is forced and what is not is different to even those "in the know."..

[Green_Peaness]

Pop music itself is dumbed down? Then why do Weezer songs sound more simplistic than any R&B song you hear on the radio? Maybe you just mean lyrics; in that case you're probably right, but I don't listen to them anyway.

And why is it that people are so bothered by pop music earning companies money and all that, but not when it applies to movies? Why aren't you guys watching only Indie films? Movies are dumbed down too...we do feel stupid for having seen a patronizing movie, but we don't ridicule people who liked it to nearly the same extent (...except for Dukes of Hazzard or something).

And I couldn't care less if a band is "honest". My favorite bands of the past (Led Zeppelin and Earth Wind & Fire) are not bands I'd call honest. The former often copied riffs from old blues songs, the latter had lame lyrics about stars and stuff that probably didn't come from the heart. They're still respected by most people, maybe because they sound great, which is all that matters to me when it comes to music

[Dead Nigga Storage]

weezer is pretty damn mainstream, so that was a horrid example. when i say dumbed down, i mean that, not only are the lyrics ridiculously shallow and trite, but the riffs and structure from a set of songs in a specific genre has very little difference from one track to the next, or from one group to the next. any number of mainstram pop-rock acts are VERY difficult to seperate from one another because they all come from this same direct influence (the nickleback, creed, etc. types for example, absolutely molest acts like pearl jam), and adhere to this sound that is so very much the same across the board, that i find it almost impossible to believe that someone could listen to so many of those bands and not have issues with the lack of diversity. and put simply, i HATE when people say they don't care about the lyrics or don't at least listen to them. the lyrics are always more what the song is about than the mood set by the sound behind it. i could strum along to the most upbeat acoustic melody in the world, but be talking about painting the walls with my brains, and it renders the melody pretty much meaningless. of course, the backround melody (or lack thereof) is capable of playing just as important of a role in setting mood, but i can't stand when people just say that they don't listen to lyrics as if they really serve no purpose.

and if you want to say that people don't talk about indie movies (or at least less popular movies) on here, then you've never visited a movie thread at all. it just seems that on this board, people with mainstream music taste are much more defensive. half of the movie threads created are about directors like PTA. and for the love of god, don't tell me that people don't ridicule others for their movie taste on this board or make fun of dumbed down movies. how many fucking threads have we had alread about "THIS MOVIE IS THE SIGN OF THE APOCOLYPSE". and how many of the "indie music nerds" on this board are ever seen discussing the latest adam sandler or vin diesel flick? mainstream movies get just as much shit as mainstream music around here.

[pat]

Pop music itself is dumbed down? Then why do Weezer songs sound more simplistic than any R&B song you hear on the radio?you do know there's a difference between "dumbed down" and "simplistic", right?

[Green_Peaness]

Sure the process is different, but the end result isn't much different to me. I think Dead Nigga Storage has a pretty good argument, but my bottom line remains unchanged. You can't argue with your ears.

[nathaniel]

last few posts are definitely making me miss the janet jackson updates

save the thread, caramelbart :headbang

[Ihaveblink]

type of music IS patronizingly dumbed-down crap mass-produced for easy digestion.

Like Franz fucking Ferdinand.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

haha, ok. the guys dumbed down their music for the masses by releasing their album on domino records and by writing their breakthrough single about the assassination of a guy from 90 years ago. you caught them.

[Ihaveblink]

Do You Want To

If that wasn't written for Radio, I don't know what is.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

the entire blink-182 catalog. if that wasn't written for radio, i don't know what is. i think franz ferdinand has pretty much made it clear from day one that their music is simply meant to be rock people can dance to, and they've never tried for anything more. pretty much every single song they have written, "do you want to" included, has overly simplistic lyrics that mean nothing close to what its assumed they mean. "do you want to" was a joke song that was just a collection of phrases and out-of-context sayings that the lead singer heard at a party and jotted down. beats the hell out of:

I got no regret right now (I'm feeling this)
The air is so cold and null (I'm feeling this)
Let me go in her room (I'm feeling this)
I wanna take off her clothes (I'm feeling this)
Show me the way to bed (I'm feeling this)
Show me the way you move (I'm feeling this)

[rickey]

i agree with DNS. even worse is when a band sells out to the mainstream after starting indie or somewhat close to it.. ie. modest mouse, U2, metallica, etc.

[nathaniel]

modest mouse, U2, metallica, etc.

..

[mohammed jafar]

this thread is good because the people who dont like people who like music dont really know what they're bitching about and dead nigga storage doesnt really know what he's defending or how to defend it right. really, once arguments about music degenerate into trying to prove which of your favorite bands writes dumber lyrics than the other you should probably stop

[box elder]

i agree with DNS. even worse is when a band sells out to the mainstream after starting indie or somewhat close to it.. ie. modest mouse,


don't be stupid. as long as a band doesn't change their sound for the sole reason of selling more albums (i'm looking at you, liz phair) then there's nothing wrong with signing with a big bad major label. when you worry about popularity or record labels more than music, then you're just as bad as people who dismiss everything they've never heard of.

p.s. the band in your avatar is now on a major label; better burn all their albums.

[rickey]

dude jafar, you listen to prince. who are you to talk.

probably PCG, and i can understand why they might've written a song for a car commercial they probably needed the money then. but in the case of metallica, i mean their music sounded different as soon as they got the contract.

[box elder]

i was mainly referring to modest mouse, as those other two were never really "indie" or anywhere near it. U2 and metallica's music may have changed over the years, but U2 was massively popular almost from the start, and metallica...i don't know. i have no problem with bands writing songs for commercials, either. i do take issue with bands liscening already classic songs to commercials, though, as it's a little cheesy, but i still wouldn't really hold it against them.

[mohammed jafar]

dude jafar, you listen to prince. who are you to talk.


firstly, who are you and how have you gained a total comprehensive overview of what music i listen to

secondly, what the fuck are you talking about. anyone in the western world who has both genitals and a brain "listens to prince"

thirdly, my first name is mohammed, not "dude". allah will strike you down for obliterating the name of the prophet

[rickey]

in the 20 best songs thread, it's kind of hard not to spot "purple rain" on your list.

these people with genitals you are inferring to might be of the flamboyantly gay variety because nobody i know listens to prince. and nobody they know, and nobody THEY know, and vice versa. . .

[mohammed jafar]

yeah but how many people do you know, really? and how many of them can breathe through their nose and cum like a firehose simultaneously?

sorry bro prince is the shit, thats a fact. i have mick jagger, eric clapton, james brown, tom waits AND the legendary pharrell williams on my side. who do you have. fucking rick james, thats who, and he's dead

[rickey]

the dude is a fruitcake imo. i can't stand his songs. sorry.

but what do i know, right.

[mohammed jafar]

this thread is of the flamboyantly gay variety

[rickey]

that i can agree with.

[mohammed jafar]

faggot

[Ihaveblink]

do you want to" was a joke song that was just a collection of phrases and out-of-context sayings that the lead singer heard at a party and jotted down. beats the hell out of:

I'm not talking about the lyrics, the sound and tone of the song is very poppy. It's still in the vain of dance-rock but way less rock than the other songs on the album. When I first heard it, I thought they were trying to have a British radio hit. It reminded me of Blur's Boys And Girls. I'm not saying it's the same song, it just has a lot in common.

I know fully that blink wrote All The Small Things for radio(and more than likely Feeling This). Tom Delonge said he wanted it to be the biggest song in the world because he wrote it for his GF and future wife. So he dumbed down the song to be very pop and wrote a lot of nananananas.

I don't see it as a bad thing, as long as the band has the goods to back it up. Franz Ferdinand is a great band, but they probably get label pressure to be sucessful, so they try to make one or two songs more hooky and easier to digest for radio. Similar to what Blink 182 does. But you can't deny that Blink aren't earnest with their sound and lyrics. They've been writing about the same things since they were on small labels and only really made a huge change in sound on their last album (even when their label wanted them to churn another pop-punk record) which was very well recieved with critics.

[Tetsujin]

dude jafar, you listen to prince. who are you to talk.



are you fucking kidding me? prince is a master. you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone out there that has as much talent as he does.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

But you can't deny that Blink aren't earnest with their sound and lyrics. They've been writing about the same things since they were on small labelsso, basically that just means they've been striving to be a a big radio-hit band without any soul or originality since they first penned a song?and only really made a huge change in sound on their last album (even when their label wanted them to churn another pop-punk record) which was very well recieved with critics.amazing that that "change in sound" just so happened to be to a sound that was so amazingly popular in the mainstream at the time, too. you can knock them for anything else, but FF at least doesn't sound like every single other popular band from its day.

...and this thread just wouldn't be complete without an argument about prince, thank you MJ. but i don't think i was ever arguing over either band's lyrics being "dumber", i was saying it was retarded to pull out one random song by FF that was SUPPOSED to be dumb and say it was bad. whereas, i could have picked 90% of the songs blink wrote and they STILL would have had similarly trite lyrics.

[mayo]

this whole thread sucks.

someone PLEASE close it.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

ugh, yeah. i'll freely admit to being one of a couple fucking retards in this thread. in case someone hadn't come to the conclusion themselves yet, i have a hard time breaking off of arguments :(
time to put the year old worthless thread to sleep.

prince is great, this thread sucks, and i hate you all. closed.
