Hey everyone. As the Music Correspondant for my student magazine, i want to write a general article about something to do with music. I've already written previews for the bands that are playing freshers, but now i want to do a big 'article'.
I want it to be a sort of topical discussion or opinionated piece about the music industry. I've thought about stuff like 'why music festivals aren't about the music' and 'the charts are crap', but i thought they'd be a little basic.
Anyone any ideas??? |

Maybe "What is wrong with world that teens think Avril Lavigne's punk?" Someone should figure that out! |

That would be the corporatisation of music... why Ska is no longer Ska, Punk is no longer Punk, Emo is Goth marketed to a load of people who all look the same while trying to be individual, but most of all why Hip-Hop is no longer Grandmaster Flash but some bint whining on about how she can't get a man. That goes for fucking R&B too R&B is NOT some teenage black tart trying to sound soulful, That would be hmmmm.... let me think here, how about Soul ya fuckwit!! R&B was Zeppelin, Cream, The Yardbirds, Dr Feelgood, The Blues Brothers or even more recently The White Stripes.
Rant Over |

nice rant dubz...i'm glad you distinguish the difference between hip hop and rap...i've been listening to my favorite hip hop artist for the past two days now: Common....with a little mos def thrown in here and there! haha...my friend and i were discussing that whole 'emo' scene a few weeks ago...everything gets labeled emo nowadays! i don't get how a band wearing makeup is considered emo?? |

That's a good topic Dubz. I might just use that!
Indie is no longer indie either.. |
