Rap Is Not Music Huh?

The inception of rap and normalization of hiphop can be traced to the start of the demise of society, loss or morals, and death of the family unit. That vid glamorizes gangsters, when in reality they are the weakest ones, only way they can fight you is if they have a group behind them, little btches cant fend for themselves. I always laugh when people say say that is "gangsta" as if its cool, bad ass or something....nope
 
What the fuck is dubstep?
It’s sounds like 3 songs mashed together with someone rubbing a rake on the track while banging on it with a tennis racket

It’s actually very popular and there’s entire concerts that DJ’s put on. A buddy used to crank it at work all the time
 
Rap is attempt by less sophisticated people towards the goal of making actual music.

It fails.
So is rock, in all its forms.

Music has become increasingly less sophisticated over the last few hundred years. Every once in a while a cat like Copeland, Wagner or Thelonius Monk comes along and bucks the trend, but by and large everything popular is savagery in audio form.
 
Whelp-

I can't say I was expecting that video based off of the title thread but alrighty then- I'm good with it.

I've been thinking this week about the subject and (at least for tonight) I think I'm settling on a good analogy with Mr. Trump...

Does anyone else remember the movies and TV shows where there's a bunch of doctors & nurses surrounding a bed in the hospital and somebody says... "Get the paddles!". And the patient is on the gurney and the camera always focuses on the heart rate monitor that's by this point flatlined...? Then they put the paddles to the individuals chest and it jumps up with the electric charge instantly inserted to the otherwise dead person? And of course- it doesn't work the first time so again they yell... 'CLEAR" and do it again and of course the body jumps and everyone dramatically looks at the heart rate monitor which is still flatlined... and just before they give up... there's a blip.

Right there on the screen an otherwise straight line sees a (for lack of better words) a jump resembling an inverted 'V' and more flat line for several more seconds... and then the jumps continue and the patient is back to the land of the living once again.

Well that's kind of the analogy in which I see Mr. Trump at the moment. Nobody wants to get however many thousand volts to their chest but sometimes the system needs a brief 'shock' to get it working again (or at least limping along). And once we've got the ticker going, then we need to nurse the body back and come up with a treatment plan.

In my minds eye, the 'treatment plan' is what do we do after Mr. Trump to remain on a 'get healthy plan'. I suppose for now we're still in triage mode but that's what the video made me think of for what it's worth here.

Music seems to have an effect on culture.
Wonder if anyone else has figured this out?

Seems the Germans have, both in the past and now with this new version of Gigi D'Agostino‘s “L'amour toujours” where “Ausländer raus” is sung by the Germans in various venues during the beginning of the song.

Here is one version:



Seems the European left has inadvertently (or intentionally) unleashed something from the past that they thought they would never see again, thanks to their recent actions.

I'll settle for Ride of the Valkyries.
