I almost feel pathetic just for writing this journal. Me criticizing Dance Pop and Rap is about as much beating a dead horse as you can get, but I had to make this post.

This is going to sound extremely boring, but it's true. Music has a distorted image lately, and I thought I would re-clarify what music is.

Music isn't just any pattern of sound, it's notes, key signatures, etc. And much new music seems to just say "Fuck it all" and not even make any effort. I'm not very well-versed in Autotuning, and even I can hear the Autotune in a lot of "Music", as it is proclaimed. Much of this just doesn't make any sense. Most of what we hear now is just computerized noise, with no regard for actual music. I'll admit that much of the music I listen is very complicated, but it can be broken down, note by note. Much Pop and Rap doesn't even examine music.

Look, I'll accept that Rap may be it's own art, or whatever it may be, but I won't call it music.

And computer-generation, though it's useful, is no substitute for talent.







Why yes, that last sentence DOES make me feel like a hypocrite, since I put all my points into Photoshop.
