While I accept that there will always be people who reject electronic-based music, I really can't help to point some things out here that seemed to get missed a whole lot:I actually went to a gig the other week that was like a trance/metal music mix and 2 guys were on stage, 1 on drums and the other just pressed buttons on a device and occasionally played like 5 notes on a piano. That is not what i pay to see when i go to a gig. as a musician i think that is whats wrong with music these days, everything is programmed and on CD's its alright but live you dont wanna see them just stand around and press play on what is most likely the actual CD recording.
"real music" and "good music" those choices of words should not even exist, since everyone have different taste of music.
For example I hate "rap" and that kind of music, I don't think it's music because it's like talking while having background music. Bur for some people that kind of music is "awesome sauce"
For what it's worth, I think their vocals are pretty decent and Girl's Generation is a decent group for their genre. However, it's particularly difficult to judge their vocals individually seeing as they're an 9 piece ensemble. Which is, you know, the whole point. Also, why exactly would they listen to that music if all they cared about was the outfits? Then they could just watch the music videos. If they listen to it outside of the videos, that would mean they like the music too. Yet you can't blame them, if they like the music because of the girl's sparkly outfits, so be it, that's why the fucking like it. Sure, not all of it is good, but that's just like any genre. Not all rock is good either.At this time I have no idea what real music is, but I know what is not music. K-Pop.
What I ALWAYS listen from teenagers nowadays are about these shitty "Music makers". In Asia, especially in Vietnam, you'll always welcomed by a big bunch of dumbshit listening to K-Pop every night and day. Super Junior? Girls Generation? 2PM? Wonder Girls? and whatever the fuck they are, I can't stand them for even one second.
Seriously, how the hell this piece of shit get 32 mil views?

"Oh how nice their clothers are, their shoes are, he's so manly, she's so pretty...." blah blah blah. Ok what about their VOICES, can you fucking stupid fans have some words about their VOICES?
My point still stands. I wasn't trying to imply live performances and music videos were the most important, I was saying they were still HEAVILY important. I'm not trying to deny that the music itself is more important.Other aspects I haven't mentioned yet are the lyrics are the melodies. Talking about Queen and MJ, they're maybe get their fames thanks to their performances on stages as you said, but if the didn't have great song with great, meaningful lyrics and great melodies, I think they wouldn't have "true" fans.
Let's have this song "The Boys" (I call it crap) for example. I've never get what the song talk about with repeated lines, meaningless sentences ("Girl Generations make you feel the heat"). Some English lines come out, then Korean, then Eng, it's so confusing and make my head hurts. If you can tell me the true meaning of this song, please do, thank you very much
Thats implying you've heard all of it."real music" and "good music" those choices of words should not even exist, since everyone have different taste of music.
For example I hate "rap" and that kind of music, I don't think it's music because it's like talking while having background music. Bur for some people that kind of music is "awesome sauce"
Why shouldn't those choices of words exist?
How would you describe music you dislike? or like?
You can respect other peoples opinions without pointlessly censoring yourself.
also Rap isn't music. Not 95% of it anyway. It's pretty much exactly what you said, talking. That's all. Talking about nothing while a repetitive "tune" plays in the background.
Some rap defies that, like oldschool Linkin Park where they had REAL background music combined with rapping, and singing. But most rap in general (ESPECIALLY these days) never ascends to actually becoming music.
