Is Music Dying?

Seriously, there is some 

awful sh*t out there.

Here it is Done Didders, the first of hopefully man music and awesomeness or rant related posts by yours truly. Be easy on me, bitches.

I'll warn you right now, this is a biased rant-like post as opposed to the news you're used to. However, if i can't make it as good for you as it is for me, i'll at least make sure you finish first.

Now, I know Music isn't really dying and there are plenty of awesome artists around these days. The problem we are encountering is that the good stuff is all underground or low-key, once anyone gains any semblance of mainstream popularity they seem to start heading downhill fast. And yes, I am fully aware of how hipster that sounds, but bear with me on this...I'm new.

The main cause for this post though, is that I listened to the radio today for the first time in a very, very long time. What I heard pushed the limits of what I can consider calling music and actually angered me a bit. I am sure that it is because of my music styles being different to others and me being such a cynical git, but still.

So I present three songs that have made me lose faith in the public's ability to decide what classifies as good music.

Firstly. and I'm certain no-one can legitimately argue with me on this one: Crazy Kids - Ke$ha.

This song is pure abortion. It combines the talentless bullshit voice of Ke$ha, with her useless writing skills that contain the exact same themes as everything she has ever written, as well as the abomination that Will.I.Am has let himself become. It is simply awful in every regard.

Secondly: Everything has Changed - Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran

I will admit that my loathing for this song comes primarily from the fact that I despise both of these artists. Taylor swift has only ever written the one song over and over again and Ed Sheeran panders to what he knows is popular and will make him the most amount of money (Taylor is quite guilty of this too, hence the match-up). This song has been created for the simple reason that tons of wannabe sensitive douche bags and dumb lovestruck girls will fork out tons of money to hear soppy unimaginative bullshit.

Lastly, and I hate that I have to put these guys in the same league as the others but: Get Lucky - Daft Punk ft. PharrellB

Don't get me wrong, the music in this song is brilliant. I really like the beat and it's got a great funk to it. Pharrell also has a brilliant voice and I really don't mind him as a musician. What gets me with this song is that it starts with some great lyrics and seems like its gonna be something new and exciting that will get me into Daft Punks new album. What happens instead is it turns into just another one of the many shitty songs about getting drunk, staying up late and banging some skanky club chick. If i wanted to hear that crap again I would listen to any other club song released in the last twenty years. 

They could have at least dressed those themes up in some clever or good lyrics, but instead its just bullshit unimaginative stuff I would expect from someone like Ke$sha. It really made me sad.

Well that's all guys, hope you enjoyed it. I sure loved the sweet release that my rants bring me.

If you have any shitty songs you want to let me know about, feel free to hit us up on facebook, or the site.

Cheers Guys,
