Today's pop music sucks: Part Deux.

[CubsFan1982]

I went down to Borders earlier tonight to meet a friend and I was browsing through the music department when I overheard a young lady saying to her boyfriend: "Y'know, I just love Ashlee Simpson. She's got so much talent and she's so honest in her music. I really respect her."

Kudos to the boyfriend for not wrapping his hands around her throat in response.

1. You just had to tell me that

When I realized the lone ciggerrate supply was out of the house, sigh make this night even more engimatic!

[CubsFan1982]

3. Kleeb, you smoke?

Bad Kleeb! BAD!!!!

:spank:

[JohnKleeb]

7. On occassions yes

More of a non-smoker but I sometimes do yes.

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. EW!

:puke:

[SmileyBoy]

9. Kleeb is gonna get it from me now...

I know where you live Kleeb. I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS (channeling Skittles)

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

14. What? hey I sometimes smoke one to beat off stress

I honestly wish I still had my incense colelction from when I was 11, :(, I was such a such.

[CubsFan1982]

17. How does one...

Beat off using cigarettes? :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

19. I quit beating off

I am getting too damned old.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Maybe she can't sing, but she writes such meaningful lyrics.

Such as, "you make me wanna la la."

[CubsFan1982]

5. LOL

I wanted to say that to this brain-dead moron, but I held my tongue.

[SmileyBoy]

4. Young people are STUPID!!!!

I haven't listened to top-40 radio for over a decade. I couldn't name even three current pop hits for you.

It's mostly independent rock for me...

[CubsFan1982]

10. We're so old.

Either that, or we're just music snobs. I vote for the latter. :D

[SmileyBoy]

11. No, we're just old.

We're 22. We're old-timers compared to the corporate pop target demographic...

[CubsFan1982]

15. Eh, OK.

I'll accept that. Fuck, I referenced Blind Melon in a conversation the other day and the 18-year old in the group looked at me as if I'd grown a spare penis on my forehead.

[SmileyBoy]

23. LOL...

I loved Blind Melon. I would listen to them all the time in the 5th and 6th Grade...

[Abelman]

28. Geezers, we are

I can't stand these kids with their pop music and their blowjob parties.

Seriously, I didn't listen to this crap in High School either. I'm not much of a snob, I just listen to music that doesn't suck.

Sorry Ashlee. No can listen.

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. More like "SHAME on the boyfriend"...

and if he isn't going to strangle her, he should at least RUN...either he's a total moron, himself, or she's a REALLY good lay.

[FreedomFry]

8. Actually, I'd say the boyfriend missed a bet. n/t

[brainshrub]

12. And the boyfriend didn't start vomiting blood?

Frankly, I'm amazed you didn't start vomiting blood.

[CubsFan1982]

16. In my defense, I gagged.

Didn't think that Borders was the appropriate place for coughing up blood. :P

18. Pop music today is....

exactly like pop music has always been: Corporate and mindless.


I'm not gonna give the young people grief about what they listen to. Shit, their tastes will change as they mature. If it doesn't, well, it'll be country music's gain.

[Spider Jerusalem]

20. Except that a lot of country music is corporate, mindless, soulless...

overproduced garbage, too. The ratio of good to not-good in most genres of "popular" music is about 1:10.

[two gun sid]

21. That's what I meant...

by tastes not changing so country music gains new fans.

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. Ah. Gotcha.

[RandomKoolzip]

24. All pop music has always sucked. It's only when ROCK music

infiltrates the mainstream pop realm that good things happen.

And yet, people STILL wanna fuck around with synths and drum machines and computers and choireography and turntables.....(sigh) As if Nirvana taught them NOTHING.

[CubsFan1982]

25. It's always darkest before the dawn...

I hope. I still think we have quite a few more years of Britney, Jessica, Ashlee, Christina, et al, before a renaissance will occur.

[ForrestGump]

26. Elvis will return. Mark my words. The true nature of the Rapture has

been misunderstood as a result of mistranslation and failure to carry the one. It's not the Messiah who will come back, but the Memphian -- easy words to mistake in translation.

The mother ship will come down, the neocon fundamental-cases* will rocket off to parts unknown, never to torment us again, and we will enter the Age of Tutti Frutti. Thus is it written in the Lost Gospel of Elvis, the Chronicles of Burning Love...




EDIT: * - and Ashlee Simpson and her ilk, of course...

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. Here's a better picture for you:

[cleofus1]

33. good...no one posted this one yet....

[ForrestGump]

34. Thank you. May the

blessings of a little less conversation be upon you....

[cleofus1]

[Abelman]

29. Whose that then?

I have no idea. Dish dish!

[cleofus1]
