some seeing eye wrote:Music is always renewing itself. From Les Paul inventing multitrack recording, technology has lowered the price of music production. That has democratized it, now you can have the one man band. Meanwhile aesthetics has fractured into a million branches. i think what you are saying is that you don't like some of the new branches. But every branch will have fans of their new.
My buddy is a real one man band down in Keywest. Funny he ain't raking in a cool million like these DJs. He plays guitar with his hands, harmonica with his mouth, and drums with his feet. Punk rock lowered the cost of making music also, but they at least had something to say. Sure, every thing is a branch of some sort or another, but I think I will still try to retain some powers of desertion and intellect, seperating the wheat from the chaff, even if some branch sucks. I mean, it's the same with political parties, and ideologies, just because some hideous creation has fans, that doesn't make alot of difference to me (oh, other people follow Rush, therefore he must be ok), other than doubling down on my opposition. I enjoy EDM just like I enjoy bubblegum, it's fun and all, I enjoy it in limited amounts, but no real sense of nourishment, unless you've never actually eaten real food. Please, someone, just because I am sure it is coming, explain to me how this is all just my opinion (no shit), but do it with a nice song.
