View Full Version : Goddamn It, Generation... Whatever We're On Now
Okay, so, Geneartion ?, listen up. I've got somerthing to tell you.
Kesha Has A New Song Out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edP0L6LQzZE) with more Autotune than ever. Okay - I listen to a bit of Kesha. (No effin' dollar sign, her name is Kesha. A dollar sign is not a pronounceable letter in the alphabet.) But kids, there's a whole lot of really good unknown techno, if you're looking for an auto-tuney sound. There's a whole lot of regular music, what with Minus The Bear, Sia, Hail The Villain, THe John Butler Trio... Whatever you're into. Kesha has a few passable hits... but do you really want to encourage her by buying her music? If you're gonna spend money on something, spend it on a movie ticket.
You kids are dirtyin' up (http://nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=29058) my second viewing of Toy Story 3. For serious - I saw Toy Story - the original one - in the nineties. I have it on VHS. All of the best movies came on VHS. Woody, Buzz and the gang were available in low def! You know what else was available? Not hearing little kids talking during my nostalgia trip!
You kids are wearing your pants way too damn low. I'm serious - I never noticed it before today, but damn, when I can see your back pockets at your knees, it's time to buy a belt. And while we're on the subject, wear a shirt. I know it's a hojillion degrees outside, but geez, no one wants to see that but your tween girlfriend. Working in a convenience store affords me many luxuries - kicking you out for clothing violations is one of them.

80s styles are back - leg warmers, off-shoulder sweaters, headbands, and so on.
I take it as a sign that our civilization is doomed.

The worst of the 80s isn't back yet. Anyone remember those awesome pants? I don't even know what they're called because all those fashion thingies always have a name. I mean... what were they thinking? I only know this from movies though, because I'm a kid of the 90s. In terms of popular music I'm not sure if it was better or worse than the 80s. Let's just say they were both pretty bad. The zero years (which sounds way cool, man, as opposed to whatever you kids call it now, I mean what the shit?) are truly a blessing in that regard. But still not as good as the really good shit from all across the timeline (according to me).
Also: Who the fuck is Kesha? Please don't explain that to me, It's one of those things I simply don't give a damn about.

Also I still have no clue who Justin Bieber is
I don't either, but my problem is that I just lack consistent internet time and don't want to waste what little time I have on looking him up. Especially when I could just as easily be wasting my time here.

As a member of Generation Awesome, I feel entirely justified in politely requesting that you find the nearest horse and occupy yourself by sucking it's cock for a few hours. Why? Because Seabiscuit's jizz is slightly less annoying than the crap that's already coming out of your mouth.
Ke$ha: Firstly, "Take it Off" is at least a few months old. As for the reason a lot of my generation likes her? She's a parody. Everything from the autotune to the glitter to the drunk act is all tongue in cheek. But more importantly, it's a parody with a purpose: she is trying to erase the double standards women face in pop music and culture. For example, take Blah Blah Blah. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG2V4f0682E) Listen to it for the first time, and you'll probably think something along the lines of "wow, she's a whore." Congratulations jackass, you just labeled her for singing the same sort of shit that guys say without anyone batting an eye.
Toy Story: You're bitching about the fact that children went to see a kid's movie while it was in theaters. You're bitching about the fact that said movie excited kids. There's no sugar-coating things here, you're a douchebag. If you're really that fucking annoyed by children having the audacity to enjoy entertainment that was marketed to them, then for fucks sake, go and see it late at night when there are less kids watching it.

The more obviously ironic something is, the less potent the irony. So called "parody" artists are just capitalizing on the same market their erstwhile parody subjects are. One could make a similar argument for Lady Gaga, (who I'm a fan of mind you) but you can only take a joke so far before you come to the stark realization that they're getting just as rich from shit that's just as ridiculous as anything out there.
In the realm of music I think the product should speak for itself though. Can she sing? Do the sounds she makes with her mouth please the ears of the audience? If the answer is yes then it doesn't matter of she's completely tongue-in-cheek ironic or tongue-in-ass ridiculous, all that matters is who is paying money to hear her and why.
In this case its probably people who think they've found some really iconoclast wit in the form of obvious paeans to forced irony, but whatever.
The main point I'm trying to make is that there is very little if any artistry inherent to a blatant mirroring in satire. Its like the kid at school who adopts a low pitched, purposefully obfuscated speech patter and repeats exactly what you just said for the sole sake of annoying you. Its childish, it lacks refinement, and to over generalize a bit, it doesn't appeal to an adult aesthetic.
Not because people think she is a "whore" or whatever fuck, but simply because it is as banal and substance-less as its targets of derision.
Also a movie theater is not the place to regale your bff of your recent bout of tonsil hockey with random teen heart throb number 17. People of all ages should shut the fuck up and watch the fucking movie.

Justine Beiber is this teenage girl, I think she sings? I dunno, I was at K-Mart Saturday and was looking at the magazine rack and there are currently 5 magazines dedicated to her, so she's probably popular right now, I guess.
Lev, I'm a little out of the know, too, but everybody knows Hollister is a clothing brand, as well. I appreciate your distress that they seemed more interested in talking about their clothing than hobbies or things they enjoy, though. I'm not sure what is so special about Hillister, though. There is also this one called Aeropostale that was popular last year (?) with kids with parents willing to buy them expensive clothing (I originally wrote "rich parents" but that is probably another bracket of spending above that involving Land's End (? I think is what rich people buy) or something like that)).
Frankly I'm a little more annoyed that current parents insist on bringing their kids (and I mean little kids, not 15 year olds) to hard-R movies, a trend I first noticed when I went to see Watchmen which continued up through Machete on Friday.

Pretty much the only thing I don't like about Ke$ha is the autotune.
Autotune just sounds so bad and out of place. Pretty much always. But when I watch her videos I tend to enjoy the beat, the subject matter, the lyrics, and the videos themselves. It's just the autotune distorted voice that rakes through my mind like claws on a chalkboard.

I feel like if it weren't autotuned to death it just wouldn't be right in some strange, ineffable way.
Like if you took that away it'd just be terrible, instead of kind of weirdly, perfectly terrible, in the way that the terrible music that she's making terrible music about is, itself, terrible.

CDs? I remember MAGNETIC CASSETTES! You take them though the X-ray, say bye-bye to your music. Or if you just wanted to skip a song, you had to press fast forward until it passed, and pretty much all the time you either came up short, or passed when the next song started!

Okay, the on-the-books definition is usually one of many tools used to adjust the pitch and tone(obviously) to better harmonize, what the average person has in mind is actually the recent trend of using it as a primary means, instead of a subtle tweak, T-pain's "singing" for example,

Not everything in an album has to be pitch-perfect. The character of the voice of certain vocalists would be entirely forgettable if run through auto-tune. Neil Young, for example. "Into the Black" would be completely forgettable if Neil Young hit all the notes correctly.
Premmy
09-07-2010, 02:28 AM
Auto-tune has become a stylistic thing in and of itself and has ceased to be just a tool to create "perfection". People dislike the style.
Edit: I actually have developed less of a hatred for auto-tune when viewing it like this, or rather, I can enjoy the robot-voice when people actually put it to good use stylistically, instead of following a fad and being a lazy singer. Sadly, the best example I can present is T-Pain, since he puts forth an effort to "harmonize" in his auto-tune voice in the unique way it can, whereas Kesha pretty much just sings normally and auto-tunes it.

The problem there is that you wrote me as the seme.
We both know if I actually ever turned gay I'd be uke, Nonny.
(22:44:51) NonCon: Also, we don't know you'd be an uke. Hold on, I shall find a seme/uke test!

Fortunately NonnyConny, I reside in the District of Columbia, where gay marriage is perfectly legal!
Unfortunately, I'm no longer tipsy off Crown and Ginger like I was last night, so the idea of you finding a way to mysteriously convert me to Clueless Uke no longer holds any appeal.

It's probably not a coincidence that every time I'm remotely tipsy and I'm simultaneously using a computer with access to the internet, NonCon shows up and finds some devious way to ensure I flirt with him.

Gentlemen, it has been an honor to chat alongside you tonight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj-1b1Yvep8)
New Generation, please explain this to me. I don't get it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niqrrmev4mA)
A bit late getting to this but...
The classy black-and-white clip, lensed by high-fashion photographer/Madonna collaborator Steven Klein, is a seven-minute "celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, their love for one another, and their courage in relationships," according to Gaga...
...the video's vaguely "Rhythm Nation"-reminiscent vibe, not to mention what Gaga described to King as its "homoerotic military theme," could be construed as a creative critique of the U.S. military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. And the video's wardrobe of nun's habits and other religious imagery could be viewed as references to the Catholic Church's demonization of homosexuality.

I don't understand the whole Lady Bieber, or Justin Gaga things at all. Why do people listen to that stuff when they could listen to music that doesn't grate on the ears? Really, just about anything is better than those two things.
Alejandro is actually a pretty catchy song, albeit redundant as most pop music tends to be. It's also very well choreographed. Granted, I haven't really listened to Gaga's other stuff, and it's not something I'd listen to regularly, but it's certainly not bad.

I kind of love that video for being everything that every other video isn't, while simultaneously being everything that every other music video is.
I'm a sucker for narrative-less pseudo-expressionist dance numbers I guess. Plus bowl cuts. (And machine gun bra.)

See, to me? Catchy means really annoying. If something is 'catchy' than I tend to want to blow my brains out with a .45 cal. That song, and Gaga's other songs, tend to do that to me. Luckily I don't have to tolerate it very often.

Anyone who can actually sing and dance their ass off is likely to get praise from me. I'm not a huge R&B fan, but Usher is pretty awesome.
I guess I used to be prejudiced against certain musical genres but eh, I don't really care anymore. It feels like some latent after effect of the high school mentality. If you were to ask me "what's your favorite kind of music" I'd say something like "Indie rock and roll." but I try to give everything a shot.
There's a lot of shitty pop music abroad these days. Lady Gaga doesn't really make shitty music. As far as pop goes, it's top notch, and her music videos are generally really entertaining (moreso her later ones where I think she's had a lot more creative latitude, her breakout hits were pretty much just earbug catchy and standard music industry "look at my titties" stuff, but even then there was a keen sense of off the wall fashion involved.
Like I watch a Britney Spears or Kesha or whatever video and there's nothing to think about. The sense I get is that this woman is trying to make some money, and the people behind her are trying to make even more.
When I watch a Lady Gaga video, I get the sense that this woman is trying to make some music, and the people behind her are pretty much shutting the fuck up and holding their breath.
