I’m sick of American recognition of music. Last night was the Grammy’s and no I didn’t watch. Why? Because before the event even started Skrillix had already won 3 Grammy’s. He won a fucking Grammy for remixing HIS OWN SONG! My favorite band Linkin Park has won 2 and they have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. They get recognized overseas but in America? Nope.
Before you think this is a bitter rant from an overzealous, bias fan it’s not. It’s a realization of how people feel during music trend changes.
I now understand how Thrash Metal and Metal fans felt in 2004 when “Screamo” or better known as Post – Hardcore became popular. They felt that the pussification of metal would be a permanent stain on the metal scene.
Now Post – Hardcore didn’t do the damage that Metal Heads thought it would. It didn’t win any awards, it didn’t get chart appreciation or award appreciation. The worst that the genre did was create and overtake some festivals, and make new bands for Metal Heads to love and hate.
It seems now however with trends come front - runners. The front - runners of the Post – Hardcore scene were the Emo kids and Scene kids. Now these kids were annoying and made you not want to go to the mall on Friday but they were sure as hell a lot better than the Juggalos so we endured it. I would be lying if I said I got nothing from the scene crowd, I in fact got a sweet haircut and a liking of scene girls. Scene girls are awesome.
As with any trend Post – Hardcore ended and the scene kids were lost for a little while, with the trend dead they had nothing to listen to so they kind of went into an indie phase until the new trend came into fruition. This trend is now Dubstep.
We have come full circle now. Dubstep is just the front –runners of the Emo scene. It’s just people latching on to mindless trends, kind of like fashion just dumber. Now since I’m a music buff I took my stabs at Dubstep to experience it so I can have an opinion on it. I go the extra mile before I have an opinion on something, I actually take the time to inform myself, rather then hump whatever someone tells me.
Now I’m aware that Dubstep will die out and no one will give a shit about it in a few years but as of right now it’s a mainstay and I have to endure the pointless garbage disposal sounds of the genre.
I am not that Thrash Metal fan who thinks that this music is going to ruin and sully the genre but unlike what they were worried about this music will affect the music they listen to. See bands are now including dubstep in their music to get recognition this is a dangerous cop out .
All in all dubstep sucks and the Grammy’s suck more.
Yeah lets take a classic amazing band like The Beach Boys and have Maroon 5 play…. What the fuck.
Love,
