This is not an attack on people who like music. I just have to get this off my chest.
I can't stand music. All of it, and I know alot of it. Underground, aboveground. I hate it all. Several people whip up musical sounds using instruments and various devices, and then vocalists come in with some nonsense lyrics and just sing over it. Nothing is being said or created. It's just garbage. I hate tool. The write bad middle-school poetry and are proud of that fact. They talk about how they are metal. Avril Lavigne has a band that plays instruments too. Then there is so much hype surrounding music. Words like greatest and incredible are used to describe musicians all the time. I don't think I've ever called NPR incredible, but it is certainly better than all music. Musicians are obsessed with image, themselves, fashion, slang. It just sucks. I'm just getting started. I have some great rants about music. Wait until I'm less intoxicated on my own misunderstanding about the nature of art.
My friend plays guitar and everyone is constantly saying how great he sounds and how incredible he is at playing guitar, but then so is his brother. What are the chances of a sophmore and a senior in highschool in the same family with no musical training having such prodigious guitar playing talent? 100%, because it takes no talent at all to play guitar. I can pick apart that crap in a minute. It might sound like I'm jealous, and I am, but I don't care.
Name one song with no extraineous lyrics that has a single well constructed idea. Not a theme with a bunch of random statements about the theme.
