[QUOTE=Fennek11;18174187]It's not so much that "rap music is dumb", more that most of the "mainstream" music is rap and most of the mainstream music is dumb. Just wanted to point that out.[/QUOTE] It is dumb
[QUOTE=furious_d;18169721]Man all 3 of his albums are the shit. Dance With the Devil was the first song I heard from him.[/QUOTE] He's got tonnes of great stuff. The subjects in his raps change continuously, but it just sounds so good.
[QUOTE=rb_pk;18174309]It is dumb[/QUOTE] congrats on having no taste in music
Everyone knows corporate news are misinforming you intentionally, and ignoring it is the only thing you can do even though apathy is what is allowing them to keep on exploiting us row row lets run this shit into the ground anarchy!1
i love reading this every month
On the contrary, the internet has started a movement away from the mainstream and into targeting people's niches. It's just that because of this the old major media routes (TV, newspaper, radio, etc.) have lost so many consumers that they have to cast their net so wide to pull people in that it becomes unimaginative dross

I blame Disney music.
i blame dennys delicious breakfast meals
I don't think music is the main culprit, as much as I'd love it to be. I think it has more to do with the whole 'Nanny state' thing that seems to have gone wild. If it weren't for the excessiveness of health & safety, and people actually [i]learned[/i] from mistakes, the whole population would be so much more independent and aware of what the fuck is actually going on. And what the fuck is with the massive benefits for the jobless twats, with anything from 13 children who will all think it's right to be a degenerate sponger their whole life? So who to blame? Nitpicky people who feel the need to put up safety railings and warning signs and whoever thought that chav benefits was a good idea.
i blame technology
[QUOTE=K00n!;18174871]i blame technology[/QUOTE] good point. technology IS making life easier
[QUOTE=Megan Fox;18169004]I have a question do you think that this generation was setup to be dumbed down? The reason I asked that is because people think a 3 minute news clip is going to tell them about the whole situation. Or when music use to actually carry a message but now it's just retarded dances, booze, sex and all over again. It's seems like our generation was meant to be dumbed down. No more protest or anything that's worth fighting for. We just allow things to run over us. It's almost as if were powerless. So what do you think about this or is it just me dumbing down?[/QUOTE] You think people are going to have hours everyday to catch up on worldly and local matters? Hell no, this gives people a glimpse, and if they're interested, they can go find more information on the event. I don't see what kind of valid alternative there is to 3 minute news clips.
right, because all of my classmates learning algebra 2 in 7th grade is dumbed down...
I just think the retards are excessively loud. Therefore, we notice them more.
wtf u tlkin bout dude? i aint dumb u dmnas mutha fker. Serious note: It is not the government or anyone like that dumbing us down. It's yourself. You decided to skip school or drop out. You decided to do drugs or drink. It's your own fault. No one "made" you fail.
You said no more protest: There's a reason for that 1. We're not all baked. 2. There's a difference between vietnam and the war on terror. Vietnam had nothing to do with america. not even remotely. The war on terror however, we were deliberately attacked, not by iraq, but after 9/11, america was so blind with rage we were willing to believe anything that our "Fearless leader" told us. and now, even after we know that iraq has nothing to do with it, there are a few ignorant individuals who think that there's a reason behind it.

[QUOTE=Megan Fox;18169004]I have a question do you think that this generation was setup to be dumbed down?[/QUOTE] No. [QUOTE=Megan Fox;18169004]The reason I asked that is because people think a 3 minute news clip is going to tell them about the whole situation.[/QUOTE] As opposed to when few people read newspapers and people didn't get much news at all? [QUOTE=Megan Fox;18169004]Or when music use to actually carry a message but now it's just retarded dances, booze, sex and all over again.[/QUOTE] Popular music has always been about retarded dances, booze, sex and "all over again."

There's been shitloads of protesting over the past decade, against the war, economic policy, abortions, pretty much anything you can think of. I don't know what you're talking about. [QUOTE=Megan Fox;18169004]So what do you think about this or is it just me dumbing down?[/QUOTE] I think it's you trying to find things to complain about. There's no conspiracy against "this generation" and nobody in power stands to benefit from a dumb, uneducated population.

I love when people bitch about music, especially considering that it's completely subjective.
