Reminiscing

09-23-2009 Wednesday

Something weird has gotten into me this morning when I turned the TV on and started watching one of those disgustingly popular music channel that features nothing but equally disgusting mainstream music videos that suck worse than seeing a faggot dance the same lousy moves while clad in a tight as hell overalls. There's nothing new. No extraordinary talent in music, hell, there isn't any talent at all. It's sad to think how this ever happened to the music industry.

What's even more disgusting is the fact that this certain music channel shows the same crappy videos from crappy people who claim themselves as musicians, every fucking day. There's even a countdown of the best 20 music videos but it wasn't even close to best, even the number one video which they claim to be a hit from a hit wonder. Shit. There's just nothing new in TV these days. Watching these crap being spoon-fed to hundreds of unaware viewers, who rely on the boob tube for their daily music consumption, makes me wonder if these people will ever get to discover music beyond the mainstream stereotypes.

I stared blankly at the TV, wondering if mainstream music can get any crappier in this so-called new generation music. These music simple sucks compared to what the music has been during the 80's and 90's.

I ain't that old enough to be considered an 80's baby, matter of fact I was born in the late 80's and grew up listening to the 90's music. There has been some shitty music before but it's not as contagious as it is now. Even the mainstream music scene doesn't suck eggs. Before, you can still distuingish one artist from the other, know the difference between punk and rock and roll, unlike what it is now, where everyone sounds the same. Whatever happened to being an individual with a distinct sound??

Sometimes I wish I've grown up in the 80's because music at that time is simple but real, raw and hits you hard right where it hurts. I wished I was already a teenager at the peak of the pinoy rock scene when bands like The Wuds, Juan Dela Cruz, Dahong Palay, Agaw-Agimat, Philippine Violators and the likes are everywhere, performing gigs that show everyone how music should sound like. I wished I have witnessed how impressive the music of the 80's were. Well, since there's nothing I can do to turn back the hands of time, I'm pretty much satisfied in downloading the best hits of the 80's and 90's rather than waste my time in front of the TV, to watch some nonsense VJ blab about a nonsense video.

What made me decide to finally turn the TV off is when a young blond boy who (for God's sake) looks like and sounds like Aaron Carter and Jesse McCartney, started dancing in his glorious music video. When will they stop cloning pop stars anyway? It's making my skin crawl already. Shit, I gotta go back to listening to those good ol' music and reminisce on my own. I'm seriously having a headache just by listening to this music they claim to be 'in' these days and I need a fucking break. For real.
