Before I start typing until my fingers start bleeding liver chunks, I'd like to warn any hip hop, death/black metal, electronic music fans. Cheers.

Rap?
So I'm sitting watching some television; eagerly changing channels for something decent. And suddenly a 17 year old "rap star" pops up singing about how much "bitches and money he haz". Normally, I'm not bothered by this. But then it hit me. A seventeen year old singing about "bitches 'n hoes"? And people ENJOY THIS? This is not be crackin', yo. For I cannot possibly see how people can listen to talking while someone presses the "Sound Similiar To Clapping" button. Over and over. The whole fucking time.

I know that rap is SUPPOSED to be about how hard street-life is, how they must fight to survive. I respect that, 'cause I listen to the reason not the song. Hell, I can even listen to a 50 Cent song when he started. "Many Men" is an example. Sure, I'm not listening to it 24/7, no, I listen to music ranging from blues to hardcore punk. But that's not the point.

Upon hearing "Soulja Boy" I felt like I was ass-raped with a cactus by mainstream music. And I'm pretty fucking sure every rapper that started in the 70s feels the same way I do. I'm missing the point of rap nowadays. Last time I checked music videos with Ferraris and girls in skimpy outfits aren't really "tough street-life".

It still amazes me that people in our society wear such poser-like clothes just because they are influenced by rap.

Death/Black Metal?
I'm not seeing this as genres, I think it's more comedy. Because what's more funny than a guy screaming his lungs out under the presence of 2-3 heavy distorted guitar? I dunno how "fans" can say "DUUUUUDE THEY R SINGIGN ABOOT TEH GHOVURMMANT" when all I hear is "NEEKA KORPA". For all what I know, black metal is the creation of when Hardcore Punk and Heavy Metal rape the razors out of a gay emo. Seriously. Guys. Wearing make-up. Screaming in twitchy high voices. I think the word for that is somewhere between "tranny" and "homosexual".

But then there's the tough guy death metal. "HURRRRR I AM SINGING ABOUT YOU NEED TO RAPE LIMBLESS KADAVERS >:(". Well, normally I'll say something nasty about it as a whole. But I won't, since the lyrics aren't that bad. The music is. Remove all bellowing low voices and the distorted guitars and add a lounge player with a keyboard and someone with a double bass. Now imagine that guy singing a song about dismembering, raping and/or genocide. Catchy, no? Exactly.

Everytime I see someone wearing "tough guy make-up >:(" I just laugh. And even though he'll try and remove my soul in a bellowing voice, I'll still laugh.

Electronic?
coming soon.
