I just don't get modern music.

*glances over to him* Maybe you can explain this to me.

[musical-rush.livejournal.com]

Explain what?

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

Why it's so catchy when the lyrics are sometimes offensive and rude?

[musical-rush.livejournal.com]

It's the music, not the lyrics.

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

But how can you ignore them?

[musical-rush.livejournal.com]

Pretend that you don't know their meaning.

FUCK TRAVIS MCCOY AND FUCK PETE WENTZ!

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

You don't like it?

[campjesus]

They're bullshit. And tubby whatshisface's voice grates on my nerves. Learn to sing plz.

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

I thought the beat was rather catchy, but the lyrics are pretty rude sometimes. I'm not sure I like it.

Gym Class Heroes is incapable of doing anything original. Jermaine Stewart is like, spinning around in his grave.

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but who's Jermaine Stewart?

[campjesus]

See talking about music makes me feel all old and crotchety because everything I like is at least 10 years old. You damn kids, get off my lawn! My musical lawn!

Jermaine Stewart recorded We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off in um... 1987 I think? '86? I dunno.

What's not to get, sugar?

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

Well, the beat is catching but the lyrics are rather offensive.

[kendel-atlarge.livejournal.com]

Aw, I think it's only offensive if you let yourself get caught up in it.

Music should be fun, right? Don't overthink it.

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

My problem is I do tend to over think things. I like thinking.

[kendel-atlarge.livejournal.com]

There's plenty of modern music that ain't offensive at all.

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

I've only recently started to pay attention to it.

[femme-appeal.livejournal.com]

This is what's popular now, you say?

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

I believe so.

[femme-appeal.livejournal.com]

Times have certainly changed since the last time I paid attention to popular music.

Things like this were popular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1mtTxLHBs

[a-soul-awake.livejournal.com]

I prefer classical music, honestly. And the Beatles are certainly classics.

[femme-appeal.livejournal.com]

Good to know there's at least one person here that remembers them. I always found them so charming.
