Unpopular views about music

Ex-communist and other third-world countries have the shittiest fucking political and economic situations to deal with. Having said that, I will always envy just how ubiquitous internet piracy is in those parts of the world. Nearly all the music I had on my iPod in high school was ripped straight from Rutracker.

I cannot fucking stand I-V-vi-IV. At some point in recent years it's like the audio equivalent of the glasses from They Live has been permanently attached to my ears and now every shitty radio pop song with this structure just looping over and over sounds like some freakish subliminal brain reprogramming and it makes me feel ill.

Arrested Development’s debut album was pretty much them being a clone of Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul mixed together. Tennessee is still an annoying hit, but a hit nonetheless.

Plus, the CD version of “People Everyday” pales in comparison to the real version that should have been put on the album:

don't appropriate clave rhythms, they're not your rhythms – your ancestors have beautiful morse code for you to use............ I honestly think a lot of people who make the deepest arguments against avoiding all cultural appropriation simply don't care for music that uses it, especially the artists they criticize most. One I used to know would criticize Ariana Grande's cult-approp, yet listen to New Order.

I swear people speak as if cultural practice is ingrained upon the synapses of the descendants. Sure, the DNA in your brain cells does change over time, but that's not the same copy of your genome (which is almost identical) you'll pass half of to each kid. Your brain cells don't become your egg cells.
 
People always shit on country music like it's the objectively worst genre, and on the rare occasion someone cedes that they like 9-5 by Dolly Parton because it's in their communism supermix, the talking point becomes "oh well after 9/11 country music changed and now it's all conservative and evil~" Bullshit! Modern country music isn't nearly as conservative as people act like it is. I've attested for ages that people who hate both country and rap feel that way because they associate those genres with the low class whites and blacks (respectively) who listen to it, well I think people associate country as a whole with conservatives and that's why they dislike country music. You look at any modern country song and I guarantee you it's not the "Truck beer jesus jeans AMERICA" nonsense everybody totes out when asked to parody country music. In fact, I'd go a step farther and argue that modern country music and modern pop music have a lot of the same topics between them and the only meaningful difference is how they're produced. You only gotta listen to Luke Combs' cover of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman to believe it.

Maybe I'm just bitter about it, but I don't care. Country music isn't shit and I'm tired of being at the bottom of the music totem pole for no good damn reason.

Country music has been getting better over the last few years. A decade or two ago, it was thot anthems from Dixie Chicks and Lady Antebellum, both changed their names out of cowardice, and a bunch of that Big & Rich shit. Now that country music is the only mainstream genre that’s unabashedly white, most white artists are starting to flock towards country, improving it from its nadir 15 years ago or so. That song from Lil Nig X, despite massive overpromotion, was ultimately a blip. There will definitely be more efforts to try to fuck with it but it’s a rare genre of mainstream music that is getting better.

Drake’s Scorpion is going to go down as one of the more forgettable rap albums from the last five years. Apart from “God’s Plan” and ”In My Feelings”, I can’t seriously say that I have good memories listening or remembering anything to and about this project.

Lyrics don't matter in music 9 times out of 10. Very rarely will I hear a song and think "damn, those are some really good lyrics, I'm glad I listened to them"
Most of the time I just listen as if the singer is just another instrument and don't worry about the lyrics.
