I'm going to talk about Beck today. I have all the anime, and enjoyed it very much. It's sad that a few of the songs changed from the original, but licensing can be tough. The big point of this is that Beck rocks, though most people said it never really rolled. Perhaps the entire team behind beck never played enough Katamari. Either that, or they're so stiff, that rolling is impossible. In my opinion, if it rocks, it rolls. There's four genres of music that I use to express how I feel. Rock and Roll, Crap (country, and rap go here), Techno, or Nirvana. Beck had a very Nirvana feel, while also playing rock. The feeling is what makes it roll, and nobody cares how music feels anymore. Why did Emeneim get big? He was funny. 2Pac? The beat was good, and nobody cared if he said n****r lots. Snoop Dawg? Same thing. The big problem? The use of the "n" word. It's either overdone, or made to sound cool, so all the little white kids say it to their friends. Imagine how that turns out. The other problem, is this. Song writing is easy now. Hire 500 Korean children, have them make a flash animation, and you've got a pretty good flash. Hire 2Pac to write music? You get a big ol' pile of poop. To break it all down, America's music scene= poop. Japan's Music Scene= Not Poop. Beck is a prime example of Japan's music scene. Now, it's getting big, so a funny picture, then I'm done.
