--- Quote from: PhantOS on July 15, 2017, 12:19:47 PM ---comparing an 80s hit to a 2017 hit is an awful idea. it really just shows that you judge song quality based on your own specific and biased criteria rather than influence and popularity, the only objective method of judging music --- End quote --- Okay, lets compare modern to modern then. I don't like Metallica, but this song came out a few months ago and its very popular. I'd be lying if I said I didn't hear this on my car's radio every once in a while. --- Quote ---Blacked out Pop queen, amphetamine The screams crashed into silence Tapped out Doused in the gasoline The high times going timeless Decadence Death of the innocence The pathway starts to spiral Infamy All for publicity Destruction going viral Light it up Ah, light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, kill the truth You’re falling, but you think you’re flying high High again Sold your soul Built a higher wall Yesterday Now you’re thrown away Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame Twisted Backstabbing wicked The delusion absolution Perjurer Fame is the murderer Seduce you into ruin Light it up Ah, light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, tell the truth You’re falling, but you think you’re flying high High again Sold your soul Built the higher wall Yesterday Now you’re thrown away ... --- End quote --- Now, my bus driver would play this on the radio nearly every day --- Quote ---I got broads in Atlanta Twistin' dope, lean, and the Fanta Credit cards and the scammers Hittin' off licks in the bando Black X6, Phantom White X6 looks like a panda Goin' out like I'm Montana Hundred killers, hundred hammers Black X6, Phantom White X6, panda Pockets swole, Danny Sellin' bar, candy Man I'm the macho like Randy The choppa go Oscar for Grammy Bitch brother pull up ya panty Hope you killas understand me (repeats) --- End quote --- |

good music is only found by making your own discoveries. you won't find anything good listening to the radio so just put it in your head that anyone who listens to mainstream is garbage |

Metallica might be more focused on generating the long-winded imagery of a soothsayer, but desiigner pays greater attention to rhythm and references to facets of urban culture. they are specializing in very different things. --- Quote from: hootaloo on July 15, 2017, 12:30:33 PM ---hey yall its almost like music is subjective --- End quote --- This is just as bad as what the op is saying. First off, music is objective. taste in music is subjective. Secondly, subjectivity in our tastes should not be a cop-out to end discussion. it should be the jumping off point for many discussions like this. |
