DIE Justin Beiber!!!

Arcturus · Jun 15, 2011

Dear God,

We went from this in 1982

to this

OR EVEN WORSE

I weep for this country.

Guardian · Jun 15, 2011

Ew, Def Leopard.

See what I did there?

We can argue about musical tastes all day.

P.S. Justin Bieber is Canadian. As an American, I joyfully proclaim, "Not ours!" and touch my nose.

Arcadia Divine · Jun 15, 2011

I personally think Justin Beiber needs to mature his voice some more haha

Amadan · Jun 15, 2011

Yes, there is no good music today, and there was no crappy pop music in 1982. And this is the most important sign of our nation's decline, worthy of a new thread just to gripe about those singing Canadian kids on your lawn.

Yeahh..you DID watch that last one?

I don't see how "Whip My Hair" is much different than any annoying 80s song, like "Sussudio".

mscelina · Jun 15, 2011

And Sussudio was sung by Phil Collins who was OLD in 1982. So which is worse? Prepubescent pop songs or geriatric Genesis.

Hmm...tough call.

In 1982, I was listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpcb80P-OYg&feature=fvst

and this:

and this...when I was in a pensive mood:

Ah...for the days of multi-colored hair when it was considered rebellious and not a fad.

Recognizable hook and lyrics that make sense?

Is this thread going anywhere, or is it just going to be a lot of bickering about which canned pop music sucks more?

zzzzzzz.

Heh. You didn't click my links, obviously. Sussudio isn't exactly a good representation of what kids were listening to in '82. Of course, I wasn't your normal kid either.

*is playing more Sex Pistols on YouTube at the moment*

Yes. Willow's lyrics make sense. And she's only ten years old. That's pretty much the diff.

Let's continue arguing over an incredibly subjective thing.

That Bach was a bad mother.

We did punk first and we did punk best.

Guardian · Jun 15, 2011

Oh, wait, this is a 'kids these days' thread?

Back in my day, people used to be able to leave their doors unlocked. Kids didn't have these new fangled cellphones attached to their hands. Cell phones are the downfall of the world, I say! Now we have all those tiny buttons and kids wearing their pants around their ankles and tweeting about their day. Back in my day, we had to write on paper!

*rocks in rockingchair*

Psh. No one wants to listen to that tired ol' has-been. Mozart is totally the next big thing! That dude was the shizz.

Really. It's not like there's been anything worth listening to since Exile on Main Street came out, anyhow. :Þ

newbound · Jun 15, 2011

I whip my hair back and forth! Let's sing that over and over again, and we have a song! woo hoo!

The only thing that can be said about that video is that Will and Jada sure are pushing their little kids into things they should be waiting a few years for. But they sure make attractive kiddies though.

May I present for your consideration, Maria Isabel, she was also ten when she WROTE this song. It's in spanish but the gist of the song is about also about being true to yourself. Basically she's pissed because this boy she likes talked bad about her to her friends. Because she's deep Spain, some things don't translate quite as well, but you'll get the main idea.

I found out about this one because I was friends with a voice coach in France who only works with the best of the best and he uses this one as a model for his younger students. He and I spent most of last summer talking about singers.

This song went Platinum in 2005 when it was released.

Spanish/English translation

Willow is manufactured, completely autotuned and put together. Maria (who is still recording today) is not.

Who deserves her recording contract?

Darren Frey · Jun 16, 2011

good bands still exist I mean to name a few off the top of my head there is Tool, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, The Cure, Opeth, A Perfect Circle, and many more. Dont beleive me? Listen to these songs.

Tool - Pushit
Sonic youth - Unmade Bed
Radiohead - There There
The Cure - Watcching Me Fall
Opeth - Harvest

Def Leppard aren't yours either. They come from Sheffield.

Chumala · Jun 16, 2011

The only thing that makes an artist good is their sales.

Don't give me that BS (Sales don't matter), yes they do as this is their job. Because you may say an Artist like Bieber is bad, and I may say he is good. However that is just mere opinion. Yet "sales" is cold hard facts.

Justin Bieber is one of the most viewed people on youtube, his songs have been sold by the millions. However people still find a reason to hate on him, and it's starting to become annoying. >.>

Can all you Justin Bieber haters stop hating on the kid for doing what you couldn't do? Make a crap ton of money.

whacko · Jun 16, 2011

DIE Just Bieber???? A bit strong shurely.

I think this JB tune is rather nice. It's slowed down 800% mind you, but if you like Eno, Lanois or the Cocteau Twins it may well be worth investigating.

Def Leppard- 60 million album sales, still recording

Justin Bieber- 4 million and forgotten in two years maybe less.

Off the top of my head I can only name one mainstream Pop act that's still recording after five years, Pink.

In Country music

George Strait OVER 20 years and still recording.

My biggest issue is Autotune should be nominated for a Grammy. The music industry has a lot to explain over the likes of Kei$ha and other "assembled in sixty seconds" disposable acts. It's literally all about whose next?

You're comparing a band that has been around for 30 years to a kid who made it famous on youtube?

Also those numbers don't seem correct as Bieber has sold 2.1 million copies of just his debute song alone.

I know how to settle this! To Google Fight!!!!!!

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=Justin+Bieber&word2=Def+Leppard

Bieber had 26,300,000

Def had 1,630,000.

Bieber clearly wins in this case.

But really there is no "good" or "bad" music as you are proclaiming. Music is just an expression.

DIE Justin Beiber!!!
