Googoo Gaga! War Against The Infant sounds of Our Generation

YOUR GENERATION NEEDS YOU! in the fight against today's elementary music. Let us unite against the digitally created nonsense that is forced into our ear drums every single day.

I am not an expert on this subject by any means and i am not involved in the music industry in any way so some might question the validity of my comments. As a young adult I make these comments based on what I hear, see and feel around me.

We are witnessing the dark ages of the music industry. Society today just does not enjoy music the way it once did. I am not in the position to say that the music is not as good or that the artists are not as talented but in my opinion music today just does not influence the masses any more. Last night I randomly found myself at an old school hip hop and R&B club in Camden Town, London, All of us in that club, from my group of friends, to the old man shakin' out by himself in his corner just felt and enjoyed the music so much more than if we were listening to modern commercial music. The joy and excitement that the music brought to the masses in those days just seems to be lost forever.

There was definitely a nostalgic vibe in the room last night. Our love for 80's and 90s music does tend to bring back happy memories and that is perhaps why we enjoy it so much. So many songs from the 90s remind me of my happy days as a child when life was all about the Nigerian family party, the running man and jollof rice. However I have happy memories of my young adult life, but the music just does not bring the same joy. I would like someone to conduct a study on the emotive power of music over the generations. I am pretty sure that music of today would not compare.

I think this fact is evident with the new wave of rebel music that is sweeping the youth. The vulgar lyrics and taboo content of groups like Odd future are becoming increasingly popular. This change could be the beginning of the anti gaga age. Talent is now judged on lyrics again and not the baseline or the catchy hook. People are again concerned with the quality of the music and the lyrical content of the song. Although some of the lyrics are very tongue in cheek, it is refreshing to see young artists rebelling against poor quality auto tuned music.

Todays popular music is terrible in my opinion. It has lost its musicality. Songs and albums are now sold based on controversy and personality rather than actual content and its sad. I wonder whether there is a secret evil corporation that is purposely killing the beauty of music. If this is the case then I am volunteering myself to the bohemians and will commit to the search of the lost instruments and voices.

WHO'S WITH ME!
