| Mainstream music from about 95-05 has been absolute complete manufactured marketed bullshit on a level never seen before in the industry. However, independent music is really starting to flourish in the first half of this decade. So many GREAT indie bands putting out incredible music, and it's becoming slightly more mainstream and popular so maybe in another 10 years music will cycle out of this pop/hip-pop bullshit that everyone eats up so much right now. There is nothing inherently wrong with either pop or hip-hop, both genres are capable of producing great music. There is a problem with the proliferation of non-emotional, no-feeling music coming out of these genres being mass marketed to idiotic young girls and even young adults. The list of mainstream bands of the '90s worth a shit is so short and marred with qualifications that it really is kind of sad. I'll specifically mention DMB because they are a perfect example of a band that started out EXCELLENT (Remember Two Things, Under the Table, hell even Crash were very, very good albums), got mainstream success and immediately starting churning out garbage. They had the potential to change the face of mainstream music... by some miracle they actually got popular off of good albums. Instead they blew it and started churning out watered down garbage to make $$ they could have made anyway. ... As a whole 90s music is undeniably lacking emotion, feeling, artistic merit, meaningful social commentary, complexity, etc. This trend is finally starting to change A LITTLE. Garden State Soundtrack is full of pretty quality indie music but really is only scratching the surface of what lies beneath. While talented, and actually the album that lead me to greatly expand my musical tastes, Postal Service's Give Up is a shallow introduction to all of the great, well-polished independent music that's being produced. Some indie bands are starting to get some mainstream exposure (unfortunately not the best ones generally). But for every one of these bands there are 10 pop-"punk" or "emo" bands that are nothing more than pop garbage with pretentions, and are quite honestly nowhere near real punk or real emo. Not even comparable. But there's still hope, things are starting to get a LITTLE better, and personally I feel that independent music is the only hope for bringing art, musicianship and creativity back to the mainstream music industry.

| Let me tell you about "independent bands" Each and every one of them suffers from dick envy. Any one of them that says they wouldn't LOVE to be on a label and rich, and flying all over the world, and banging 10 chics at a time in their tourbus is a fucking hypocritical liar. Hating on a mainstream band is pretty retarded imo. So to be good, you have to be unrecognized, and listened to by a select few of hardcore internet nerds on limewire, k. While yes, there are instances of when a band churns out a third album with only one decent song on it... there are also other cases of bands that turn out their 6th or 7th album that is just as good as their first. As an artist of a different medium, it is much easier to produce creativity for yourself, for fun, for an outlet... than it is for others on demand. This is what happens, you pour your heart into your art, then one day you gain acceptance or merit. Initially you think this is what you wanted, but then people (record label exec/fans) expect you to churn it out to no end over and over again. What you end up with is a Kurt Cobain or a Dave Chappelle. |
