How far will "musicians" sink?

[mat777]

I was in a Cex store the other day and this twaddle came on;

Now, I thought thats pretty st - dubstep mixing some monkey noises together and remixing the Jungle Book - a child's cartoon FFS! It's one (already st) thing remixing and rehashing other people's songs because you're not original enough to create your own (Duck Sauce's "Barbara" comes to mind here) but dong it to kiddies tv is a new low.

Or so I thought, until I watched this video complete with "soundtrack":

How fking low do you have to sink in the cesspit of "music" you call club/dubstep to rip off a fking nursery rhyme for jesus tittyfking christ's sake? JUST GO AND KILL YOURSELVES!!!!!!!

Ice karting?? What??

Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Mary had a little Lamb - but this is good

That kind of music is for stupid people. Stop being outraged at something that's beneath you.

Tbh Matt, legend that you are in the Lounge, with the Jeans and Hair threads, is there really any need for blatant attention wing in the music forum? I love those threads, in the Lounge, but here, really?

[mat777]

I wasnt whining, I was prompting a discussion on the abysmal decline of originality in some areas of music and their descent into tacky dubstep-pop. Discuss away to either support or refute the claim

[Pony]

erm the first first link you posted is a piss take of caspa "where's my money"

its just sort of an in-joke for dubstep heads

[Disastrous]

Is it just me that gets Alonso ice karting for the second link??

Or has no one else bothered clicking it?

[Justin Cyder]

Is that not the beauty of music though? The smug feeling you can bask in as you listen to your black sleeved promo copy of ferret of doom's difficult third album safe in the knowledge that the hoi polloi are fawning over another never will be on x factor?

If that's your kind of thing that is. I just like the buzz of finding a band I've never heard before & getting into it. My daughter likes Olly Murs. Live & let live I say.

Yes it is, but listen to the song laid over the top of it...

To be honest I find rants like this more annoying than the links contained within.

I mean, I don't like the links either but I'm not about to start blowing out of my arse about it!

Have you ever listened some of to the sh*te that was popular in the 50s? UNBELIEVABLE dross. Never mind nicking bits of nursery rhymes - Half the time those songs didn't even contain any actual words at all, just random noises of the sort you might say to a baby!

I haven't bothered clicking it.

[Disastrous]

It doesn't bother me, as a rule. I like some hip hop music that samples random stuff (jay-z sampling Annie for instance, works well) so whilst the above isn't my brand of vodka, it doesn't worry me.

It's Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is dross.

Yeah, although it took me a while!

[Baryonyx]

Dubstep in st music shocker. It's made for bellends, what do you expect?

[ADM06]

Chill out mate, we all know dubstep is crap. This song is just intended as a joke.

[MitchT]

That's the thing with the internet democratising the whole music industry. It means the ultra-talented, ultra-intelligent pioneer of groundbreakingness who's music is so advanced that only five people can understand it, now gets to release his album... But it also means that there is one hell of a stflood of stty ste.

[Pony]

on balance there is some good dubstep out there

for instance Mala - unexpected http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nNVT2x9b0Q

or Zomby - a devil lay here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOrIlvNd1Jk
