todays music sucks

Too bad I guess.

At any rate we live in the age of the internet. The ease of communication has made it like a billion times easier to find new stuff. Sadly, it's also made it such that the popular bullshit spreads much faster and thus tends to be a lot more obnoxious if it happens that you don't like it.

It actually genuinely upsets me sometimes that even with an amazing tool like the internet most people just like the exact same bullshit everyone else does.

But you know, at least that option is there if you ever feel like being adventurous. (And no I'm not saying all mainstream shit sucks.)

And trust me, if you look, you will find a lot of cool fucking shit.

Just because you manufacture something to be popular doesn't equal focusing on one target audience.

What exactly do you think a boy band is?

And that doesn't mean looking for k- or j-pop. It's the same shit but in a different language.

Amazing (O_0)? Why do you ask?

LOL I decided to edit this a bit. LOL if you just "listen" to a boy band you really can't tell if their good looking or not. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can't lump "music promotion/advertising" in the same category as the actual material. Does that make sense? I'm not listening to a boy band just because I think they are attractive. (Like when I was younger and 98 degrees came out. I hated their music but I still had a poster of the members topless in my room so I got the eye candy without the ear ache. lol)

I have appreciation for a wide variety of music as I think I thoroughly demonstrated in my very first post in this discussion. I just disagree that popular=shit or that if something is unpopular it gets a softer critique (believe me there is a lot of things that are not mainstream that when I hear it I thank the universe that it isn't or I'd blow my brains out.) because being "anti mainstream" is actually its own "main stream" Oh and as far as K or J pop goes I never said it was any different from boy bands that sing in english. Then again I don't see anything wrong with girl/boy bands because having a multitude of voices with several pitches has it's own appeal. Also on a completely unrelated to music note I find Asian men sexy so Boy bands appeal to me on more than just a musical level. Music like religion is a personal choice and as much as I or you might want everyone to support our favorite bands and see their obvious genius it just isn't going to happen.
