All lyrics are a sad way to distract from minimal or trite, aged musical production

In Combiation with = No
Talent in rhyming = No
Artistic message = No

Give me new sounds to get me dancing, throw the odd psychotic message in to freak everyone out and reinforce a scene based on sex. Otherwise, lyrics are old and useless - they should be limited to print in nice books until everyone forgets how overused, plagiarist and redundant they have become. Just give them a rest for a few decades, then they'll be as fresh as a spring time hymen!

If most rockers don't come from the suburbs, where do the come from? The inner city? I doubt it.

Of course, it was different way back in the 60s with bands like The Who and The Beatles coming from working class city background, but then again, that was when rock was actually innovative. Today I would say that the majority of rockers, especially North American ones, come from suburban backgrounds.

Arguing otherwise is pointless, its just not true for the majority of cases. I grew up innercity Boston, and I'll tell you, NO ONE listens to rock, not even the white kids (and in Boston, there are lots of inner city whites, one of the highest per capita than any other American city). If you're a kid, you listen to hip-hop, or maybe the blues or reggae soemtimes, if you're an adult you probably listen to soul, or like my parents, Motown. All of the rock fans/bands live in the suburbs. I've never heard of a rock band coming from the innercity, at least in Boston.

Now that thats settled...

this thread should be closed for utter stupidity. I'm reporting this...

Why, because you disagree? If this thread were created by someone else and said "rap sucks, they don't write their own music, plus their unedumacated" you'd be like a pig in sh*t. But since you don't agree... reporting time.

Albert: As usual, you're right, but you're preaching to the wrong crowd. White rock fans refuse to believe that their views and interests could ever be proven fallible. Rock is artistic, intelligent and god's music... all the rest is crap. Unless its considered elite like classical or jazz... in which case, they won't listen to it, but they'll "respect it".

Man I'm glad I grew up in the city

P.S. Don't worry about MarkG, every one of his actions and posts is biggoted in some way towards something. He'll probably close this just because he doesn't like you.

MarkG,

Bad ass pictures!!!

I like the shields and spears (what are those called) in the background too.

**chequita guevara** · January 2, 2003, 20:37

I've seen those pictures on the net.

Go take your own, and make 'em nice. I need them for Clash and I don't want to pay $1700 for the one I'm using as a comp.

P.S. U2 is mostly pop anyways

No you don't, I studied and listened to rock for like 6 years when I got sick of rap a while back. After all that I came back to the conclusion that rap is superior

But I can talk for hours about rock, which is almost never the case for the reverse (as in a rock fan being able to talk about rap, for even a minute). Rock can be interesting at times, and it can be fun to listen to (old rock that is), but thats about it. It doesn't move you the same way that good rap can. Listen to rock for the sake of learning (as should be your attitude with everything), but I'll think you'll just rediscover your appreciation for rap.

But I do like you MarkG, I just get defensive of rap

Are rappers the only musicians who write their lyrics?
