Rebecca Black should be considered ******* cheating. Ugh.
A) Posted the wrong video, I was trying to post the infomercial they made for it.
B) Yes, yes it does. Seeing the state of popular music (Beiber, Radio Rock and all of that simplistic shit) makes me rage as a musician myself. I'm not saying I'm a great musician, but I have the knowledge to be able to realize how simplistic and canned 99% of music on the radio and gimmicky shit like that is. Anyone who plays an instrument instantly gains that knowledge on some level and once you hear the same beats, power chords, rhythms and harmonies in thousands of songs it gets rage inducing. I can't even listen to the radio anymore because of it.
C) When you see my second point and then realize that people making that music, because it's catchy and they have marketing machines behind them, are making hundreds of millions of dollars and people who write their own music with their own lyrics instead of buying songs from song writers get shit canned into obscurity it just pisses me off. These are people who grind out records, write all their own lyrics and all their own music from the ground up and get next to no recognition and money for it. All the while some pretty girl who got voice lessons can literally BUY a song (lyrics, music and all written by another person) and sell millions of records? Music is supposed to be an ART. Art is an expression of self, not someone canning fake feelings into repetitive harmonies and then selling it to someone who has no feelings on the subject so they can sing it like it's their own creation. It wouldn't even be THAT bad if songwriters actually got credit but they almost never, ever do. The record companies pass it off as if these people wrote those songs and they are their own feelings. **** most of the time they aren't even the feelings of the songwriter, they're just written to target a certain demographic and be as catchy as possible.
And I'll leave you guys with this. Don't knwo if this makes anyone else rage their faces off, but I had two twin sisters when I was a kid and they literally watched this movie until the tape started warping and eventually broke. This song makes me want to ******* kill things. When the black eyed peas came out with their shit remix of it (don't even get me into the Black Eyed Peas and all of their bullshit rip offs, just read this instead) I almost punched the stereo in my wife's car.
ok what im gonna say is gonna make me sound like a dick... but.....
so your mad that someone found niche group that you didnt and they are now making money, but you are not...... so there fore you rage...
hating a type of music is one thing..... hating people for liking a certain style that isnt yous.... thats another thing!
This video hasn't been shown on American TV and for good reason. Basically its a dude explaining how we live in a world ruled by a monetary system thats totally flawed. He explains very simply how there is no need for money. And that a very small section of people control the world through using oil etc...
Why use oil when we have all this free energy around us? Money and power!

Niche is exactly the opposite of what popular music is. Pop music is consumed by the masses of people (Pop is not a genre as many think, it's a slang term for "Popular Music." Anything from Rock to Rap to Country can be pop music right now). A "niche" musician/band would be something that appeals to a smaller number of people that only like a certain thing. I'm not mad at anyone for making money. This is America and it's a capitalist society, I realize and embrace that completely. The thing I have a problem with is that they dumb music down so baddly that people forget the complexity and genius of older, classical music and generally music that is very complex and well written now is completely forgotten except by "niche" users. I love art as a whole and I wish to preserve the perspective of it and not make it something that appeals to masses just for the sake of making money. It's like taking a picasso and dumbing it down so badly it becomes stock photography. It has nothing to do with money outside of money being the driving force for most of the artists doing these things. I'm not jealous of them for their fame or fortune, I'm just saddened by the fact that some of these fantastic singers and songwriters who could be writing and singing very complex music and stories are essentially selling themselves short because the masses will eat up anything with a great hook and harmony.
What was there to rage about in that 'beat it' song? The only feeling I had was a very romantic one about the girls in the background dancing around in those nice dresses...
