I realized what I want to do with my blog. Strangely enough I have decided I just want to type stuff. :) But regardless I know I am a bit of a different thinker and that is what I will write about.
As you no doubt have guess my main topic for today is music. I like every type of music I listen to almost everything. Some things that bug me though are that a lot of the new music now a days... sucks. (In my opinion) Most of the popular stuff on the radio is a sort of catchy beat and really, really, really, repetitive lyrics. I believe if any band tried this kind of music ten years ago they would have been kicked off stage immediately. I like all types of music just most of it is old music, ACDC, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Great Big Sea (Kinda old.) I will say that some new songs are good but not many.
I know I am a downer and this may not apply to you that I saw most popular songs are not very good but if you disagree with me feel free to says so and please include with it a reason why you think so.
Another thing that kinda bugs me is being profiled by what type of music you listen to. If I listened to rock, or metal, or blues, or country, or almost any other type of music it does not mean much but if someone listens to quote "emo" music (I hate the term emo) then they are considered an emo.
That is ridiculous, if someone listens to "emo" music then they like a certain of music. Music is music. It may a way of expressing yourself but not always. I will admit there are a couple songs the could be categorized like this that I do like. Call me what you will

How about REM? (They are awesome.) And Queen, who I don't know anyone who hates them. And most of the alternative music, and rock, I listen to are a perfect example with what your point was about people stereotyping based on music. Like just because you listen to a band like... Anti-Flag... it doesn't mean you have to dress all punk and be full-blown rebellious, or flag-burning or nationalism-hating. And it's like someone takes one look at my music says "Ew, The Police are from the 80s. Who listens to that, except retro-wannabe dorks?" News flash: The Police were the best part of the 80s. You can't listen to them and be a "wannabe" you ARE 80s retro-ish, even if only in your music appreciation.

I absolutely love Queen and you seem to grasp my point exactly and I am kinda ashamed to admit this but I don't think I have ever listened to The Police granted I was always a 60s hippie not an 80s. I couldn't name all the old music I like because that would be a whole post by itself. LOL

Yeah. Oh, I forgot to mention, that even up to 10 years ago people accepted the current style of whiny pop music that they like today--1999. Britney Spears (ew) N Sync (never liked them) and nearly all the other celebrities. Early- to mid-90s were the last of the original music. Except Lad Zepplin, Def Leppard, etc. And if you've never listened to the police, that's OK because not a lot of people have. Sting is kind of the same genre as them though, have you listened to them?
Well at least I have heard of sting. And back in the 90s yes they music wasn`t good but it was better then it is now. I see your point though, and I am now fearing what it will be like in the next generation what kind of music they will listen to.
Don't even want to think about it--but what direction could someone take music in that is more annoying than now anyway?
apparenly i listen to 'emo' music but i'm not an 'emo' just because i listen to fall out boy panic at the disco and my chemical romance
people could say i'm and old granny or something (i'm not really) just because i listen to Debussy ( classical composer) and stuff
whoa kill the world why don't you
