Music is overrated

09.10.2009, 08:01 PM

When was the was the last time that some musician said something of serious interest?

I actually agree with you to a degree. I was thinking about this lately. But maybe not in the same way as you. But I feel like I keep buying albums that I assume I should love. And then I don't. And I'm let down. I feel like with each passing year, the number of new records that impress me dwindles. And that worries me. Is it me? Or the music?

I don't personally think there are that many things wrong with any music, it's only when you see so many attitudes/ultimately irrelevant lifestyles attached to it that make it sound more important and less enjoyable than it is that puts me off it.

oh oh oh. I misunderstood. I tend to be really good at keeping the music and the people separate.

Musicians are overrated

music cannot be rated high enough

Surely there is always someone who rocks?

Admittedly I've always been a little less adventurous as many who post on Non-Sonic Sounds but even by my own standards I've been listening to less music recently. Reading is taking up more of then time I would usually give to music.

I really thought that M.I.A. rocked back when Paper Planes was a new hit.

pbradley · 09.10.2009, 09:35 PM

That's one single I got tired of pretty quickly. Advertisements still haven't, though.

notyourfiend · 09.10.2009, 09:36 PM

^ True. IDK, even though it was overplayed I thought that it was actually well written.

music may be overrated but i'd be fucked without it

That's not true. I'm not even pointing out the obvious, 'cause you must know that you're talking bollocks.

Why?

demonrail666 · 09.10.2009, 09:54 PM

because if i spent less time listening to it I might get fucked more

FreshChops · 09.10.2009, 10:27 PM

I wouldn't say music is overrated at all, but lyrics (or the message) is always overrated, and often irrelevant to a good song. I think Sonic Youth have figured this out cause most of their lyrics are abstract visuals.
