Let's take a look at music, shall we?
Go back in time a bit. We've had the silky voices in jazz, like Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. The British pop invasion of The Beatles and later on again in the 90s with Oasis. Then, there was the70s-80s music period with Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, ACDC, etc. Billy Joel and Elton John. The 90s brought Green Day, Blink-182, and Nirvana. Music was all pretty decent from the 60s on, right?
Yes. HECK yes.
But then, something terrible happened about...say...mid- to late-90s.
KIDDIE POP.
We had *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, and Brittney Spears. That techno-bubble gum-pop that kids ages 8-14 gobble up. Years went on to introduce the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. Now, our generation has a full-on case of the Bieber fever! What is happening??
There's something about pop music today that just isn't right. You can't even tell anymore who's real and who's autotuned. It's all the same. The songs are all alike with their upbeat tempo, happy mood, and electronic enhancing. It doesn't make any sense. Everything's fake anymore.
I like bands like Green Day and Blink-182. Never Shout Never and Death Cab for Cutie. I hate how they're so amazing but when you turn on the radio, all you hear is Party in the U.S.A.
WHY?
It bugs me that real bands with real music and no autotuning go unnoticed.
Why has music changed so drastically? Just wonderin'...
