Music Today

I regret to inform, but I have become a politician or rather one of the aspects of a politician. I say one thing one minute and something completely different the next. I found this out when I was contemplating my favorite songs for list I am going to do( or maybe bands TBA) and I realized that some songs I enjoy are techno, rap and mainstream-pop. In the past, I disliked anything to do with lip-syncing or auto tuning.

But for some reason I am drawn to the likes of Epic Rap Battles or Barely Political on youtube. I don't know what makes them so interesting, maybe it's the draw towards there satire of modern music. Music parodies are some of the funniest on the internet. I probably enjoy the satire and at the same time commemoration of the artists work. I find that I cannot hate or make fun of an singer, musician or artist just because they have made it and I have not or as they are doing something with their lives. Yes they have it easy, not working to get where they are, just smile and sing in front of a camera and don't screw up.

One thing I suppose I dislike most about them however is the publicity and fame. I have read statistics that say things like Ke$ha out-selling the Beatles, Glee having more Top 100 hits than the Beatles, more people bought Spice girl over Bob Marley, the list goes on. It really makes me feel bad.

I need to realize that these "artists" do not need to dominate the lifestyle around me, on radio just play my Ipod, on television change the channel. If I ignore them they will no longer have an influence on my thought, with their beat playing over and over in my head.
