I was talking about today's music which is dissapointing.
Even MTV has become a useless crap lately.

And when I said repetitive lyrics I was talking about songs like Bieber's Baby.

I would like to talk about music but it would be a long ass conversation.

I remember when I used to think all "computer-made" music (electronica) was bad. Then I grew up. Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, SizzleBird, Daft Punk, etc. Most people who make any sort of electronic music usually know how to play an instrument - usually piano/keyboard or an organ.

And I mean, repetetive lyrics? Beatles, Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden - there have always been music with poor or repetetive lyrics. In my opinion it's mainly the music that matters, not the lyrics anyway.

Godsmack is a damn great band.
Disturbed are ok and the Old Linkin Park is pretty good

Hah, fair enough. I don't think they're good anymore (too much angsting over repetetive, overproduced drop-D power chords) but I look at them with nostalgia and occassionally it's cathartic to scream along with them badly.

But seriously every time Godsmack steps out of their comfort zone they make great stuff (Voodoo, The Other Side, Sully Erna's solo record) yet they insist on making the same boring goddamn song over and over.

I didn't mean Iron Maiden as a whole I just meant there have always been songs with repetive texts. But there is good music today, just a lot of the mainstream stuff isn't to my tastes.

I just thought some of your points were kind of silly.

Let's not forget about Godsmack's killing tracks 'I STAND ALONE' , 'GREED' , 'STRAIGHT OUT OF LINE' , 'AWAKE' ...

Hisingen Blues by Graveyard was pretty popular not too long ago, uhm but I can't really think of much, I rarely watch TV and I rarely listen to mainstream music.

That song is from 2011

When it comes to music the TV is not your friend anymore, well only VH1 sometimes maybe

Yes there's a lot of shitty cookie cutter dance electronica, but there's also just as much interesting, experimental, ambient etc electronica, and a lot of the time that stuff takes more talent to make than a lot of music that requires a whole band. And don't even try to use the whole "you just push buttons it takes no talent" argument. You could say playing guitar takes no talent cause you just strum strings or that drumming takes no talent cause you just hit things with sticks with that logic, which is just stupid.
