gun in mouth.
let me explain. i, for some reason i don't understand, decided to watch the mtv vma's. 90% of music, new music, is HORRIBLE. everything sounds the same. i'm not a 'rap guy' but i remember when rap had different sounds. not anymore, you can't tell one song from another and it seems like every month or so, there's some new flavor of the month. no one has staying power. and rock is just as bad, and who the fuck are the Jonas Brothers and why should i give a fuck. i remember when mtv had the balls to show something new and different. god i'm old

I totally agree with you about the music of today. I'm perfectly happy listening to my vinyl from Wax Trax and other local music stores (which of course aren't around anymore!) I think my favorite music is roughly from 1988-1997, but there are some exceptions of course. But for the most part, yeah, the crap they pass off as music now completely sucks!

What a coincidence! A friend and I were talking about how MTV used to be so amazing. The 80's kicked ass (at least from what I remember) because of the abundance of music videos featuring ZZ Top, Twisted Sister, Pat Benetar, Prince, Michael Jackson, Ratt, Van Halen, Huey Lewis and the News, Madonna...the list goes on and on. I remember the videos to be like mini-movies and they were sooo much fun for a 6 year old to watch! Also, shows like Headbanger's Ball, 120 Minutes, and Yo! MTV Raps were groundbreaking because they featured music that was on the 'fringe', so to speak. Music of the masses this day and age just plain sucks.
