todays music sucks

[Crazyfirefly]

lmao bands in K-Pop are a lot- I mean -a lot better than what we have in the west. They're all trained to know how to sing, dance, function in a group properly, know how to live together with at least four other people, all this for a good one year, likely to be more. That's why most of them have lasted together for years at a time, pulling out chart-toppers in Korea one after another, aside from the quite short-lived "mainstream bands" here, like N*SYNC, or the Backstreet Boys, or the New Kids on the Block.

Also, the music industry is a lot busier there than it is here, with bands and artists debuting each year, as well as everyone of them pulling out a song or an EP every few months, so there's no reason to fear drastic changes in musical development.

You are my new favorite person. :)

You're going to tell me this is the only era with successful shills now?

Not at all. It's the era where "shills" are most successful, and where no one cares about your buddy lasercakes' continuum fingerboard, despite how awesome it is.

For that matter you're the imprimatur of good taste now?

I thought you were, when you implied that Ladytron sucks...? I don't place judgment on any artist or band without some kind of musical analysis to back it up, usually pitch when it involves pop artists. Taste is subjective while sound and pitch quality are not, because they are quantifiable in Western music. An exception to this would be obscure third-world music where they use different, more forgiving tuning systems.

There are tons of gifted inspired and intelligent individuals in the industry today. Try looking somewhere off of the radio if that is the stuff that bothers you so much.

Modest Mouse
Radiohead
The Strokes
Fall Out Boy
Daft Punk
Lady Gaga
Linkin Park
Vampire Weekend
Death Cab for Cutie
Arctic Monkeys
Deadmau5

I could go on but i dont see the point. Look up these guys and tell me they are not talented. I dont care if you dont like their music, but you cannot deny the talent.
