Maybe I Have The Soul Of A Grumpy Old Man, But I'm Bitter About Pop Music Culture Today

Not only do I think that the music that makes the top charts today is nothing but garbage, but the entire scene around is absolutely horrible and I'll tell you why.

Maybe I Have The Soul Of A Grumpy Old Man, But I'm Bitter About Pop Music Culture Today

OK, I grew up on classic rock, which stemmed into metal, pop-punk, and emo throughout my younger years and remains true to this day. I'm bitter when it comes to other genres of music because I was bullied a lot for the type of music I listened to in school when I was younger so you can imagine that when I see people decked out in ridiculous clothing for Coachella and getting thousands of likes on Instagram while I get criticized for wearing "too much black" or just people thinking I'm boring for not wearing something extravagant to a concert, you can see why I'm irritated at that.

You have people spending hundreds of dollars just to have the right clothes and makeup to go to a concert or festival, and for what? Just to take pictures of themselves. You can't tell me that you care about the music when you put so much effort into how you look. My ideology at a concert is that it's not about you, it's about the music artists that are performing and they're the center of attention, not you, but apparently we live in a culture that wants to make it all about themselves. When I go to a concert I couldn't care less about what I'm wearing, I'm just there to see a good show.

Additionally, You take these SoundCloud rappers who provide nothing good to the rap scene other than they just have face tattoos and colored hair I bet you they wouldn't even have half of their fame now if they didn't try to change their physical appearance. All this beef that rappers start is complete idiocracy and is only used as a marketing tool to create more popularity for themselves. I'm not hating on all rap, because I understand that there are rappers out there that are real with what they are saying and actually rap about there life struggles and have a good message, but these SoundCloud rappers that repeat the same three lines over and over that these young kids are idolizing are a lot less deserving of their fame than the rappers that are out here trying to spread their good word and create an impact with what they're conveying.

Lastly, the fans of pop music and pop "musicians" are some of the worst people I know. These so-called "stans" concern themselves with every aspect of their idols' life and choose to try and implement themselves into every beef or situation their idol gets into. Take the Beyonce incident at the Warriors' game for instance. Why should I care that another woman was talking to Jay-Z and Beyonce looked displeased with that? Who cares? It doesn't affect my life in the slightest and why should I concern myself with something so stupid like that? And there's a ton more I can get into.

Maybe I have the soul of a grumpy old man, but that's just my opinion on today's music culture.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
