at least rappers dont take a microphone and scream in it for 3 minutes. If i didnt know it was rock i would guess somebody was dieing :confused: And the reason you buy a 40,000 car and put more $$$ upgrades is becuase those upgrades you added are better than a car you could buy for 90 thou. |

Wrong, and I think you're a close-minded MTV Fu.cker. I'd love to debate you on every aspect of your post, but the facists here probably will stop me....bye. |

of course im an MTV F*cker. Its funny how you lower ingrates must refer to distinct launguage when expressing a point. In my post did i call anyone any names? No. I stated my point and expressed my opinion genuinly. If you had an sense of arguing then you would quit the nonese gibberesh that seem to utter and speak like a normal human.

While I never expected this thread to actually become interesting, it seems to have evolved into one of those everlasting debates where music fans are harassed by rap enthusiasts. "at least rappers dont take a microphone and scream in it for 3 minutes. If i didnt know it was rock i would guess somebody was dieing" Particularly your mildly amusing implication that rock music is created by simply screaming in a microphone shows your ignorance. The fact you're tragically unable to comprehend an artform definately does not mean it isn't art. Also, "Rock" covers a huge selection of subgenres. From Britpop and Alternative to Gothic Rock, to Death Metal, to Grindcore... Try finding such extreme diversity in rap, or r'n'b as a whole, even. The "scream in a microphone for 3 minutes" comment suggests you know little to nothing about the topic at hand though, so I shall not waste anymore time on this post trying to convince a mind that's probably already set. |

LP has won alot more than that. Not just being nominated either me thinks. My favorite band was nominated for a grammy twice and won once. Out of 4 albums total (the fourth one sucked)

You mean Grammys, Oscars are for movies. And no offense, but you have no knowledge of the music scene right now. You seem to only know the things which are immensly popular, and I don't blame you because you live in Pakistan, you probably just get the really popular stuff. You should look into stuff that isn't so popular, it's generally a lot better. Side Note :: Why the **** is this topic at like 11 pages? |

Well, Backstreet Boys were popular like 6 years ago...but when the little girls who liked them got older and their music taste got better, no one liked them anymore. |

I don't like Linkin Park...and a few points. [*]The Backstreet Boys are not a "band." They were made by a executive producer interested in one thing- money. [*] And no one gives a **** about them anymore. They're washed up. And Boy bands like that ruined some of the great bands of the 90's that didn't sell any records because they were in constant competiton with this MTV pop radio freindly drivel. Why do you think the Smashing Pumpkins broke up? [*]And, they don't write the lyrics. And I'll let wikipedia fight some of my battles here. "Equally important to the group's commercial success is the group's image, carefully controlled by managing all aspects of the group's dress, promotional materials (which are supplied to teen magazines), and music videos, the most famous boy band manager being Lou Pearlman. Typically, each member of the group will have some distinguishing feature and be portrayed as having a particular personality stereotype, such as "the baby," "the bad boy," "the nice boy." Whilst managing the portrayal of popular musicians is as old as popular music, the particular pigeonholing of boy band members is a defining characteristic of boy and girl bands." "Boy bands tend to be heavily criticized by certain musical press for appealing only to pubescent female teenagers and for emphasizing marketing and packaging over quality of music. Such views are reflected in the humorous definition in the Chambers Dictionary: "a pop group, targeting mainly the teenage market, composed of young males chosen because they look good and can dance and sometimes even sing". Some critics compare boy band output to the "machine-generated" popular music found in George Orwell's novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, noting that much of their music (as well as the bands' compositions) is extremely formulaic. Other critics point to boy bands (and related musical groups) as case studies in commercialism and postmodernism, with little cultural content. Such criticisms can become extremely scathing: After scouring the country for five boys who could belt out tunes while doing the splits, (Lou Pearlman) assembled a clean-cut collection of effeminate white and Latino-looking boys, all pink cheeks and crew cuts with peroxided tips. Just like the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, there's the cute blond guy, one with curly hair, the dark one with big dimples, the guy with the funny facial hair and the less cute, but really sensitive, guy. Pearlman herded them into a tiny apartment, forcing these guys in their late teens and early 20s to share bedrooms (hey, less opportunity for illicit sexual activity -- at least with the opposite sex), and forbade them to stay out past midnight. He dressed them in coordinated red and silver "rave" outfits and spoon-fed them sugary-sweet lyrics like "Would I cross an ocean just to hold you ... Would I give up all I have to see you smile?" And then he set them loose on concert halls full of 12-year-old girls, who dutifully screamed their lungs out in a kind of mass orgasm fueled by all that scrubbed-clean testosterone. (Janelle Brown, "Sluts and Teddy Bears," Salon.com, 2001). In most cases, their music is written, arranged, and produced by a producer who works with the band at all times and controls the group's sound - if necessary, to the point of hiring session singers to record guide vocals for each member of the group to sing individually (if the members cannot harmonize together well). A typical boy band performance features elaborately choreographed dancing, with the members taking turns singing (or, sometimes, lip-syncing, even some of Pearlman's band's have been known to!) to pre-recorded vocals and music. More often than not, boy bands are disallowed from composing or producing their own material, unless the members lobby hard enough for creative control (e.g. The Monkees and *NSYNC). Though some fans are wildly supportive of the music, the commercial success of specific boy bands does not tend to last long. As the fans (mostly preteen girls) age and their musical tastes evolve, they tend to outgrow such groups' appeal. Sluts and teddy bears | 1, 2, 3 Even when they attempt some kind of cool -- which the Backstreet Boys seem to be striving for with their latest mock-bad-boy makeover -- it seems to mostly involve growing a few extra inches of hair that they wash less often, and wearing a bit more black leather. (But of course, it's still coordinated black leather.) The boy bands are, as Thompson puts it, "eroticized and sexualized, but kind of as the kind, gentle boy you know is not going to hurt you when you decide to lose your virginity to him."

1. They are a band. Maybe they didn't write or play any of their music but they sang it. 2. I'm sure the Smashing Pumpkins didn't break up because the Backstreet Boys kicked their ass. |
