If you didn't know modern music is shit already, this is proof.

Why do all these kids have a black guy rapping at some point. I'm starting to respect Bieber.

I noticed that too. The rappers usually don't seem all that comfortable either like they're probably thinking "this shit better help me get my big break" or "what has become of me"
 
Remember when musicians were talented people who excelled at composing/writing/playing instruments and/or having great voices?
 
All I'm getting from these vids are a bunch of sheltered kids with no natural talent, autotuned to "perfection", and an added rapper for "cred". But then again this music isn't aimed at me.

Pop music was never this. It was always manufactured ever since the 50's. Stop pretending real artists are dead because of the shit you hear on Top 20 stations.

I agree. Horrible artists like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. They should have waited for puberty before starting their careers IMO.

Yeah, they got better when they got older, but calling them horrible? After going this and the other thread?

This is true though. It's pop music, most of these kinds of songs are just made solely for money.

I'm just grateful that the Internet gives me more ways to find music I would actually like.

Is this some sort of festival for shit music? I mean, the uniform awfulness has to be intentional, right?


The Ark Music Factory has to be some kind of christian music based entity right? That would explain part of the awfulness.

What are you guys tripping about? With rare exeception kid's music has always sucked.
Yeah, but the critique of contemporary music is in a golden age. Thank the maker we live in the connected era with unfettered access to these musical luminaries. Enlightened commentary is where the real art is getting done.
 
Well I came in here to post this, but just wow, nevermind I guess. WTF IS THIS SHIT.

Everything is so bad, oh my goodness, why do you even bother writing lyrics to this shit? It's pretty just a slur of incomprehensible words stringed together.

Holy shit even the rapper couldn't save the song.

It would make sense with how bland and goody goody the songs are...

Though the rap part in Friday makes me pause on thinking that.
 
I like real, decent Rap music but I really hate the pervasiveness of mainstream 'hip-hop culture' throughout pop music today.
Seriously almost every fucking singer has some RnB tinge, everything's about 'the club' or 'swagger' or some other ridiculous crap. Some bullshit rapper spitting a verse filled with whatever shitty made up slang is popular at the moment, mutilating words to force them to rhyme, is de riguer for anything that wants to be remotely popular.

I'm assuming for starting this wild craze? Because Bieber did this first with Baby.
Yeah, I'm starting to respect Bieber for being a trend setter. Even though I don't respect the trend itself.
