I ran into a particularly vicous comment on a web page today:
| quote: | | Thumping trance might be popular, or UK hard house, but it would be the equivalent of playing Britney Spears. Pay attention to the music and its intentions, which are often—at least to the untrained ear—admittedly difficult to decipher without lyrics. But it is easier done than supposed. If it sounds cheesy, it’s cheesy: it’s there to sell, it’s not there to stimulate your mind, it’s a capitalist musical product, an object sold with tits and young girls and DJs in limousines with their bitches. It’s a similar situation in hip-hop. I am struggling to think of an alternative to “conscious hip-hop,” which has caught on very well, become the voice of several struggles including First Nations and of course Black culture worldwide. The same can be said for Rave music, which, if it is intelligent, experimental and political, probably won’t be called rave music at all, but rather techno, jungle, hardcore, minimal techno, glitch, microsound, lowercase sound, IDM, ambient, etc. |
Alot of people like music that represents som particular movement that the feel the are part of, and consider anything that isn't afiliated with some sort of movement or ideal as 'cheese'. People in search of intelligence and experimentalism tend to dislike tunes with alot of cliche elements in them and harass the kids who like that stuff.
One just has to learn to ignore it, plenty of those kids enjoy stupid things for strange reasons.
