music has reached a state of utter disappointment. The Exponentially pathetic growth of pop music and culture must come to an absolute stop. To even begin to attempt to halt it, we must advocate a new musical revolution. The UGA Musicians Collective proposes a new approach to music making, listening, and all around appreciation. Turn off your radio, turn off your MTV, your VH1 and turn on your mind; body; soul; and most of all, your ears. Don't take the poison of radio music for another day. Are we really going to raise our youth on these "love" lyrics any longer? Are we really going to be nostalgic for the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties for the rest of our existence? Modern society is caught up in an infectious orbit of nostalgia. Everyone says let's dress punk, let's dress eighties, disco, hippy, blah blah blah blah. Stupidity. This cultural programming that is being perpetuated by the MAN is preventing racial harmony and world peace. Let's not live out our own dreams let's live those of the past. Let's dance to the rhythm of yesterday and forget about tomorrow. We cling to the past like a heap of-and I say this with nothing but respect to our precious memories-sentimental garbage. The radio has become music's landfill. All the garbage, all the filth is what we are given to drink from. Let's make our own drinks. Our own opiates. Let's groove to some homegrown, organic frequencies. LET'S SMASH THE MOTHERFUCKIN WALL OF HATE THE RADIO HAS drop table message;CREATED WITH OUR ECSTATIC MOANS OF SOUND AND RHYTHM. Use any means necessary to make your music. Electric guitar or drums. Turntables or synthesizer. Four track or computer. Hi fi or Lo fi. Digital or Analog. Just make it. No one has to hear it but yourself. The creative possibilities are much more endless and lush than top 40 radio would have you believe. Join the UGA to fight a war against pop music and pop culture. |

the current state of "music" was one to be expected. it is making it's cycles and hopefully is near the end. it is from this rubbish though, that good music comes from, when people can finally differentiate between what is good and what is bad. but we are just as much to blame as those behind the music. we are studied and vast research takes place on what we determine is cool. it's called market research. what will a new trend be and which way will it flow. todays youthful image is being regurgitated back into our brains as a result. the problem is that such a minority is that which is studied, then is mainsteamed, which then creates a new majority until the trend is soon dropped. that little minority decides for the unknowing majority. market research is now moving into what has always been the minority exposing it to the pop culture or the majority. soon, everyone will be mainstreamed, there will never be such things as underground movements or a minority or even the little best kept secret because they are all profitable. it doesn't matter if someone is anti-everything, because that is where the trend is moving as a result of the current state in culture and marketeers are begining to pick up on this. we are to blame because we are only hurting ourselves. we are creating what we hate. it's simple free will vs. determinism, and determinism is already winning because it's decided the content, and the only choice we have is whether we tune in or tune out. it's just that we can't choose what we want to tune in to. |

I think that you have to be cafeful when stepping into boundries such as these. Its easy to classify something as you will. But if this were to so called.. launch its self into full motion and take over this supposed "MTV" bullshit [which I don't like anymore than anyone here] It will have just turned the tables completly around. Which is hypacritical n a huge way indeed. It something that no one can just control, or modify as they see fit these days. Im all for some sort of change, but then shit would all be messed up... only a handful of people are going to be doing this anyway. It has been like this since the black artists were making blues/grass/soul in the detroit area in America and white artists were using or even stealing music from them because of the sole fact that black people couldn't entertain. There has always been a popular scene, and many underground scenes. I think its better to have it this way personally. Weeds out the real people.. leaves the rest on top. Whatever. There will always be trends to be set. |

the best way to ignore the shitty state of music, is to have nothing to with it..if 90% of the people are listening to something that's trite and pathetic, then let them listen to it. However, if we also say why can't people be open-minded, instead of listening to the mainstream music, that too shows that we're not being open minded..I have no interest in the mainstream besides Radiohead, depeche mode, and a few others..I find by living in my own world of music, and ignoring the pop-culture whack, i'll be fine..and you know what's really interesting! I often let people hear aphex, autechre, any discs i got if they want to..got a kind turned on to autechre's music today, so it's really the culture that's hiding the good music from people, they cower at the thought of anything weird, but i've got people into many lesser-known bands that they had no ideas about...too bad some people don't think there's anything good out there, when there's tons:) you just have to look. i know i rambled a lot here.. |

i don't know if anyone here has heard of a guy called matthew herbert, but he has just released an album called "bodily functions" which he made by following a strict manifesto which he devised, and has produced a shockingly good album as a result. he has used no real drums or drum machines, just the sounds of the human body as a main rhythm. so we have knee and elbow joints cracking for the percussion, the melodies are made from the sounds of crying babies and rumbling stomachs, and also features the sounds of someone having laser eye surgery and the sounds of a mouse stuck in a waste paper basket too. by the way, i'm new here, so could you people PLEASE be nice and not pick on the new guy?????? xx |

this has already been said in other treads, 'pop' music (for example the Spic Girls, Boy Bands, new rock/pop such as limp biscuit and papa roach) have all been extensively produced through market research. The big record labels that do this dont know F*ck all about music, they are in it for the money, that is what gets on my tits. People who follow these trends in pop music are narrow minded, they listen to whatever is popular because they do not have the CHANCE to hear other types of music, I got into IDM from my dad, if it wasnt for him, i may not have heard of IDM at all. MTV etc are DENYING people the opportunity to listen to a variety of music, leaving whole generations of people lmbs to record companies, people hear it on mtv, then buy it, giving more money to the mega rich record companies. There is nothing to do to stop this whole process except through extreme protest (which is why I am going to the may day riots next year, and for other reasons). I am all for individuals who like their own style of music, but the majority listen to market researched pop, which i dont even class as music. If everyone made their stand against globalisation of EVERYSORT, these huge companies will ave to change, I am never eating in mcdonalds again, or using any large companies money for stuff, why make them even bigger and give them the oportunity to rule over the whole world, giving freethinking people the lack of choice. defend your rights to be a free thinking individual, destroy these companies that globalise the world, thats what i am doing, i hope other people think the same. let the masses make their own choices, not letting the record companies choose! |

Ahh.. but the record companies don't make you chose, they give you a choice. Some people take it... and some don't. Its just VERY complicated if you think about it. |
