Cheezy Dance and general Manufactured Music

Universal · 3 Dec 2002 at 18:02

I can't help get extremely mad at the state of the music around now. Why is there so much of this manufactured pap around, program after program about promoting more morons who probally haven't played an instrument or writen a song in their lives. And those dance album adverts just make me mad.

Why is so much music so poor?

Opinions Please.

Cos people buy it. Sad but true.....

But surely this constant pressure from advertisements the media etc are actually forcing people to buy this rubbish without them actually listening to what they personally like in music and why.

I think this thread is getting a bit off the point which I originally made. I was not having a go a dance in any way and I don't hate it but I hate the commercial rubbish that is included in the genre. The point that I was making is that there is so much of this rubbish dance around compared to rubbish songs in other genres.

"DJ-ing is all about the live performance, feeding the crowd
energy." I see where you are coming from on this point but all performances whether it is dance or opera rely on the connection between the crowd.

However, even here some tracks are on the borderline of cheese/pop - I normally stick clear of the charts to avoid elements of cheese altogether : They are very wise words

If I was included in that comment- I understand that there is a skill to use decks as it is just another medium to create and compose music so you should see that I am not complaining at all about what is used to create the music.

No problem, I love these threads when debates start thats what makes music cool, everyone has their own opinion and tastes.
