Ever Wonder Why The Music Industry Is In The Shitter?

Jonas Brothers

Ever wonder why the music industry is in the shitter?  It’s because they sell a lot of shit.

It takes a while for pop culture to catch up to me, something I’m rather proud of.  I finally saw these little jerk-offs for the first time over the weekend…

Not only is this song horrendous but there’s a band playing it for them in the background.  Those guitars aren’t plugged into anything.  So basically the only thing they needed to do was sing… and they couldn’t even pull that off.  I’m usually tolerant of music when I realize that it’s demographic is children, I understand it’s not meant for me, but this is embarrassing to the human race.  This should offend parents who want their kids to grow up with some understanding of culture.  The following is a comment left on the video’s YouTube page… “OMG that opening picture is so hot! They all look handsome!” Okay I understand that, cute kids, little girls like watching them jump around in dopey outfits, I lived through the New Kids On The Block… I get it… but here’s my problem:  Can’t they find cute kids who can carry a tune or at least dance?

I’m most embarrassed by their purity rings (they wear rings to symbolize their virginity).  I don’t trust that, it makes no sense.  What budding teenage boy playing “rock” music for a bunch of screaming little girls wants that?  Not true, no way, total bullshit.  I would almost forgive the whole thing if they were screwing everything in sight, then at least it would be funny on some level.  But it’s not funny, it’s sad that this is an acceptable form of entertainment in this or any country.

This is a video of a teen idol from 1959:

Now you mean to tell me that no one out there can do this anymore?  Of course it’s Eddie Cochran, but still, what teen idol does anything anywhere near this good?  Our standards have plummeted to an all time low and it has been on the decline for so long.  Last year I met a kid who bragged to me about how he plays Guitar Hero for several hours everyday.  I told him if he spent the same amount of time playing the real guitar he would be awesome and he could play for a real audience one day, filled with humans.  I don’t think he gave a shit… at all.

  • I only have a vague awareness of these tools as well - I don't think I really want to know any more.

    I also put Miley Bloody Cyrus in the same category. Surely the world has enough crap infecting it already without adding these wannabes to the mix.
  • Yeah you pretty much hit this nail on the head. It's gotten pretty damn ridiculous over the years. Standards just keep dropping and dropping.
