No I am not talking about the loud students on campus or the traffic downtown. The objective of this post is to address the deterioration of today’s music. This evening, after a long and tiring day, I turned on the radio only to be greeted by the ear numbing sound of the infamous ‘G6’ anthem by the ‘Far East Movement’. With lyrics like “Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6” I couldn’t help but want to rip my ears off.
Despite the catchy tunes of today’s music, what ever happened to the days when lyrical content played a role in what we listen to? Majority of the songs produced today consist of one or two meaningless sentences that are looped over and over again in the song. Lyrical creativity is quickly coming to extinction thanks to today’s artists.
However, all is not doom and gloom. Despite being few and far between, blogs such as the soul lounge still offer the lyrical aware music listeners a source of refuge. With the soulful sounds of artists such as Eric Benet, Joss Stone, and John Mayer, there is still a glimmer of hope for music today. Musicians such as
these have managed to fuse together amazing instrumentals with meaningful content in order to create not just music, but stories.
