I whole-heartedly disagree. If you don't love emo and heavy metal you shouldn't be here.
Away with your blasphemy!

I implore you to work on the construction of your sentences and paragraphs. Whip those thangs into coherency.
Popular music is commercial, yes. Kind of tautological.

So true, Electronic music is the last bastion of free expression, it's like punk was in its day, but with more complicated beats. But that sad genre was only too willing, along with Rock, and Pop, and Disco, and Folktronica and Classical to hand its arse over to The Man and say "Take it, and sell it to the masses". That's why Electronic music, to truly stay underground, must uphold the solemn tenets of IDM
Always be complex Use lush melodies, but sparingly Appeal to young men who'd like to be IDM musicians Remain underground until offered chance of soundtracking and advert for landmines or a documentary about abuse in homes for the elderly

I unagree. Music is better than ever, and has always been better than ever. The .00000001% of it that pollutes the charts is pretty negligible.

look at Elton John. The better looking he became the worse his music got. When he was doing rocket man you almost had to turn the television off. Now with his fancy suits, diamond studded rolexs and million dollar wigs his songs have become the antithesis of his polished exterior..

I think the mainstream "Rap Music" has become far too commercialized...
I havent heard a new rap song I liked in years. I miss the old Ice Cube jams and even Snoop's "Doggystyle," as mainstream as it was, was a massive cut above all the designer trend shit coming out of MTV these days.
But thankfully some artists like Kool Keith emerged from the wreckage, and while I wouldnt call most of these artists "Rap" they do fill the rhyme spittin' void that grows larger and larger every time some kid leaves the 51-50 sticker on his hat and forgets to fold the brim.

You shouldn't really worry about stuff like this, I don't think. Worrying about who's listening to it or not listening to certain music, or even the image of a lot music, is kind of pointless isn't it? I don't listen to a lot of the pop music of today, not really because of the image thing, but because I think the music is crap. I don't mind image in music as long as the music behind the image is good.

I think it's fun and exciting when something underground breaks into the mainstream like rave or hip hop did 15 years ago, it's just when the same old shit gets recycled for the millionth time, it gets tedious.

i hate it when i hear new music and then months later come to find out who it is actually making the music and their image totaly does not fit the sound. i think a lot of good artist get tossed to the way side just becuase who ever the stylist was sent by the major label big wigs fucked them over by making them trendy than actually looking llike the scene from whic they belong or came from in the first place, so yeha fuck hollywood!@
and on a sid enote fuck ergonomic keyboards!
