Whatever... First of all sitting all day in my underwear is the only way i want to live my life. Second of all something about broccili reminds me of eating pussy and i like it. Third of all, High Fidelity is a kick ass movie and just cause it is a John Pussy-ack movie doesnt mean that watching "Say Anything" and enjoying it is ok, by any means.
Now back to the lecture at hand...
In the movie, Rob Gordon asks:
"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"
Pretty good question huh? I'll tell you something...im fucking miserable and nothing brings me more joy than listening to a heart ripping pop song of any kind. You can shove your child's play heavy metal/nu-metal talk about nookie or breaking faces up your overgrown vagina-esque urethra, thats just shit of little kids, too pussy to let you know what they are really trying to say (my mommy touched me in the bath and my dad thinks im gay) So its covered up with distorted shit guitars and bad haircuts...
And then about 15 years down the road, one night after your boss just shat all over your life because you didnt number the pages on your annual report correctly, youll come home to kids hunched over an old shoebox which your sleeved wife has shown them, a shoe box filled with pics of daddy in his crazy youth and his greasy plastered hair...and you'll lose all respect you ever had and now you are stuck with your wife touching your best friends balls in the bath and your kids thinking that their dad is gayer than vince neil, now and then.
come bro give it up show me dem hard core fingers.
Now, I dont think there is any doubt that the first miserable soul, to write what became the skeleton of pop music, was a miserable prick but now for the rest of us, why has pop music (pop music worth a damn) appealed to the masses, why have these songs about "heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss" become the staple of what a pop song is?
I didnt want to give answer for this but fuck it im smart...
I thinks it because we are all a bunch of self-loathing selfish babies, always looking for comfort from our mothers teet. Always questioning "why me" "why i cant i have him/her...its not fair"...i dont think that is going to change and i dont think im going to ever trust a mother fucker who doesn't feel that, its human.
Dont get me wrong there is a ton load of shitty pop songs and pop bands and pop fads...
but i do feel that this exposure of human nature makes some of the best music, someone showing you how they feel when no one is around...showing us that when we are by ourselves we all are fucking self loathing selfish babies. Agree with me or not but remember me the next time your ass get rejected for a kiss or your girlfriend is found making out with some bro in his lifted chevy...its normal, you are NORMAL! deal with it...and dont call me a pussy for pointing it out, your the pussy who cries when you masterbate because of all your repressed emotion.
i love pop music and i love it cause it makes me feel normal...because it helps me forget about my shit for 3mins in a day.
