I’m going on a tirade….you’ve been warned.

I am utterly, completely, and wholly fed up with all of the terrible music that gets critics and hipsters foaming at the mouth.  What in the hell happened to intelligent people?  Did thinking creatively go so far that it’s coming back full circle into pure idiocy?  Just because you learned how to push two keys at the same time on your korg and put reverberated distortion over your whining does NOT mean you are a musical genius.  It means you’re a complete moron who has no business saying you’re in a band.  I’m not going to name names because that’s not the business I’m in, but I am just going to say if you don’t know enough chords on a instrument to thoughtfully string together a melody (if you even know what a melody is) then stop.  Just STOP.  I used to never listen to the radio because I always thought it was garbage, but lately I find myself putting on 95.5 just catch a breathe of fresh air.  Songs that actually make sense.  I don’t go and splatter the ugliest colors I can find onto a canvas and tell the world I’m a painter.  I don’t take thoughtless random video’s on my iphone and say I am a film producer.  So WHY do people get to make noise and say they are a rock band?  Who started saying that was cool and why do so many of you like it?  AHH.  I have a head ache.  There is lots of good music and LOTS of good indie music.  To all of those artists and bands…nice work.  Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing.  To you talentless nimrods who convinced your friends that your band was awesome, please find another hobby…
