(Before I start this I will admit that there is good music on the radio. Imagine Dragons,AWOLNATION, and Macklemore have all managed to find success but bands like them are few and far between. Now onto the rant.)
Music today is way too processed and it is completely copy and paste with its themes. There are songs that try to shake this like royals by Lorde, that song is about making fun of people who say they live like that but most people will probably think that she is being serious about it and is bragging about living that way. Another thing is that being popular tends to ruin bands, not always I'm not that much of a hipster but one of my favorite bands Grouplove was completely ruined by fame. They had great songs like Chloe, Lovely Cup, and Itchin' on a Photograph but their most famous song was tongue tied which in my opinion was also their worst song, but because it was so popular their second studio album sounded entirely like that one song. What people should do is go out of their comfort zone and try listening to alternative, or rock, or electronic. If anyone is actually reading this (which I doubt) go and check out two bands, Cage the Elephant, and Sleeper agent. They are two very very good alternative rock bands that you won't regret listening to. I don't hate popular music altogether but it is terrible that people like Miley Cyrus,and Ke$ha are being listened to more than Jack White, or Avenged Sevenfold. So go and check out those two bands. If you like them tell your friends about them and maybe we can get them a few new diehard fans.
