12 Extremely Disappointing Facts About Popular Music

[MatticusMania]

Hey, easy with the potentially xenophobic remark there, pal. There is pop music outside the States too...

There is nothing xenophobic about ackowledging what I know to be true in my own country. Im not familiar with how the music industry operates outside of my own realm and dont like to comment on what I know nothing about. I dont know whether pop music is manufactured in the same way outside of the US, it very well could be.

LOL, I lived in Texas for 17 years and only moved back here 6 years ago, I don't need defending from "xenophobic" Americans. I just happen to be learning a lot of covers in Portuguese for a fairly new band, hence kuduro and "Ai se eu te pego" were fresh on my mind.

That is extremely disappointing, until you remember that Rhianna has nicer boobies than Robert Plant, although to be fair he has nicer hair.

Winn of the day!

I lived in a refugee camp for ten months and I really don't know or care what xenophobia means (no sarcasm, I really don't). I put "xenophobic" in quotes, didn't I?

Xenophobia is an unreasonable fear of Lucy Lawless.

 

[pklima]

Oh. That does sound unreasonable.

The music industry is very much the same operation as the industrial food industry. Make something that most people purchase.

While those who really like good food purchase from special stores, organic food and so on...

I think you've confused xenophobia with Xenaphobia.

Eh, I was just laughing at the previous poster for defending me against something I need absolutely no defending from. Please get back to discussing popular facts about disappointing music. I need to get back to learning some Don Omar lyrics.

I think you've confused xenophobia with Xenaphobia.

You're right. I bet I do that at least once a day.

Wow, so much ignorance in just one post. I didnt realize that one had to be a rastafarian to enjoy and perform reggae.

That's my opinion, not ignorance. I also feel the same way about rich white British twits playing blues.

 

[Bloodhammer]

I'm glad I'm into Thrashmetal and Blackmetal then. Both of those movements came from upper middle-class whites, so I'm actually poorer then they were....

 

[Jazz Ad]

It's not sad, quite the opposite actually.
It shows that art can be recognized through criteria other than making money.

That's my opinion, not ignorance. I also feel the same way about rich white British twits playing blues.

Why should ones background dictate what kind of music one should play?
