<p>The paris hilton ....segment.... cant be called a song. its the most synthesized/covered up/changed voice i have ever heard and it still sounds b ad. at least when ashlee or hilary duff make songs their voices are actually tolerable. paris hilton's song was a quick flop.</p>
<p>Worst songs:
Paris Hilton - Stars are Blind
Lil Jon - Snap Yo Fingers
Hilary Duff - Beat of my heart
anything by simple plan, good charlotte, lindsay lohan, etc.</p>
<p>Still havent decided if i like/dislike Cassie's Me & U</p>
<p>metalcore generally involves a lot of growling and screaming, the music is fairly straightforward, its roots spring from thrash and punk, so i guess it would be a fast thrash, almost speed metal, or hard punk. its crap like bleeding through, cataract, or underoath - what all the 14-15-year-olds refer to as "the hardest s<strong>t ever". some say later in flames and later lamb of god are metalcore, but thats only partially true. some also say thet swedish melodic death metal, like early in flames, at the gates, or amon amarth is a kind of metalcore, but thats not true either - one should listen to early in flames to find that there's a reason it's called "melodic death metal" and not "melodic metalcore"
i hate it because its highly unprofessional, and, like i said, is made for business.
by punk i meant today's variation known as pop-punk, that is, late offspring, green day, blink182. that crap is just ridiculous. i get the shivers when someone calls green day "heavy music". at the same time, i respect old punk, real punk-rock, like sex pistols or the exploited. the latter, by the way, actually came up with not as bad of an album, "f</strong>* the system" in 2003, but i'd say that wattie buchan's screams "punks not dead" are irrelevant - punk in its original incarnation is dead, and it was turned into business by the cost of wildness and atmosphere.</p>
<p>The Sex Pistols weren't actually a "band." They didn't play instruments. They were random guys put together by an English nightclub owner who knew he could make money off of the "punk" attitude.</p>
<p>I'm keeping mainly to the most popular genres in American music. People into Jazz, Blues, Classical and anyone else who listens music that would be classified as "Other" in the local record shop in an attempt to be "eclectic" can rest easy for now.</p>
<p>Punk Rock - Songs are too similiar, vocals are too nasally. Bands today basically just trying to cash in on the sound of the mid 90's again. Greenday needs to retire, American Idiot sounded way too much like Dookie and not enough like Warning.
Hardcore and its variants - Too much screaming, lyrics suck and hardcore dancing is lame.
Metal - Too many subgenres, I really don't care about the differences between Norwegian Death Metal and Thanagarian Sex Growl Prog Metal. Too much focus on being "underground". Too many bands that try to be complex for the sake of being complex (Dream Theatre). Too many bands singing about evil, death, blood, Satan etc (every single black metal band ever).
Indie - Not a real genre. Too much focus on fashion (and it sucks by the way). Indie is the "Alternative Music" for the new millenium. A bunch of bands with unrelated sounds but dress in the same way.
Emo - Enough said, it's emo.
Hard Rock - 80's nostalgia is so 90's. Get over it already.
"Classic" Rock - Only reason it continues to survive is due to the number of people who continue to put bands like Led Zeppelin on a pedestal. Also not a real genre. On a side note, would classic rock radio stations please play something other than Stairway to Heaven, Sweet Home Alabama and Another Brick in the Wall? Those songs weren't that great to begin with, they just serve to remind 40 year olds of how great their summers way back when were. Yes, of course Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and The Who and what not were great for their time. Who wouldn't considering their competition was crap like the Osmonds or glam rock? By the way, David Bowie sucks.</p>
<p>Electronic: Sounds too much like 80's synth-pop without vocals and jazzed up beats.
Various types of dance music: Too repetitive, too many remixes of already established songs. Need to do drugs to really enjoy it. Songs are too reptitive, which isn't a problem unless a song is under two minutes long.</p>
<p>Rap Music: Your average rap album: Couple club songs with danceable beat, a couple of songs meant to be deep and poetic which allows rap fans to defend the genre by saying "See, not all rap is about money, women and nice cars!" and then a couple songs about the very things rap fans were just defending. Some albums may throw a curve and try to throw in a political song or just have an album entirely consisting of political songs (Dead Prez, Immortal Technique etc.). In those cases, you can discern the type of song by the beat. Immortal Technique for instance: Deal with the Devil is deep and poetic. Freedom of Speech is the club song and Creation and Destruction is your typical rap beat. All are political to a degree.
R'n'B: The art of extending a one syllable word by 30 seconds. Any word that ends in an "O" will be extended indefinately. Crap.</p>
<p>Hilary Duff songs are simultaneously bad and so, so good. Remember that song from "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"? After I saw the movie (yes, I saw it and I'm not ashamed), I couldn't stop singing it for a week. "Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of ..."</p>
<p>On the other hand, I hate hate hate Ashlee Simpson and everything she has ever "sung," including her new song (Invisible or something?).</p>
<p>The Sex Pistols were the progenitors to the Spice Girls: just showed how image and attitude could easily triumph over music. Bash Simple Plan and Good Charlotte all you want, but they're probably at least better musicians than the idiot Pistols. And hopefully, in twenty years, not a single member from that band will appear on The Surreal Life.</p>
<p>there is a very corny song called...."Hey Juliet" by LMNT, but catchy. I'm sure the majority of you haven't heard it. i first heard it at a summer camp...in fact i was THIS close to compromising my dignity and making a play on it with the other girls in the dorm in front of all, but decided to use my better judgement.</p>
<p>I just remembered another song that makes my ears bleed: Hoobastank's "The Reason." Whenever I go to the mall, I seem to hear it in every single store. Uggghhhhhh</p>
