Rock On Forever!

Music these days just isn't as good as it was before. Just listen to some of the lyrics to find out.
"Boys, boys, boys. I control them with my voice"*
"London, London bridge is falling down."**

These examples are just a few of many songs that are little by little, degrading our society. Take for example, Jess (fake name). After she got an iPod and put her favorite music on it, she turned from wanting to be a teacher/doctor to wanting to become a whore.

Also, these days there are no good rock songs. Radio stations such as Z103.5 and CHUM FM promise to give you variety and many genres, but listen to Z103.5 on any given day. I assure you, that the genre is hip-hop or Jonas Brothers. While I sit here on my ass complaining as to why there isn't enough rock, people (most of them girls) come up to me and ask "what about the Jonas Brothers?" I've got an answer. Jonas Brothers can't be considered rock mainly because the singing voice is too comical to be taken seriously. Plus, radio stations don't bother announcing new rock albums but they tell you about Kresha Turner's new album. No one really cares about Kresha Turner.

Furthermore, the rock songs that are popular are deemed "Flavor of the Month" meaning that people won't remember them in three-four months' time. Does anyone still remember Panic! At the Disco or Mariana's Trench anymore? Yesterday, I remembered listening to Head to Head on z103.5 (Head to Head is where to songs compete to see which one is better). The songs were Troublemaker by Weezer and Boys by Ashlee Simpson. Troublemaker was an adequate song whereas Ashlee just sings about the fact that she's slutty gets her boys fast. The winner: Ashlee. Why? Many female music fans were reluctant to vote for a male group.

Overall, music is becoming shittier than ever before and I guess that we will just have to tolerate this.

You're totally right man, and you know what? Everything nowadays is getting more commercial, but people aren't doing anything about it because they grow up with it, and don't notice how awesome everything else was. Great blog by the way.
