I've decided to post a rant about what I call 'Chipmunk Music'. I'm referring to the, somewhat modern, dance and rave music. I despise this music for a number of reasons and they are as follows:
1) The artists all seem to be DJ's. There's never any thought or feeling into the composition of a song anymore.
2) The songs are hardly ever done acoustically. Most of the songs are composed through a computer with a chipmunk'd voice run over the top of each song. What a waste of a song.
3) Many of these 'artists' take good songs and wreck them. There are a few exceptions to this. Cascada, here, is a good example for both scenario's. There are two versions of her new song "Truly, Madly, Deeply", which was originally performed by Savage Garden, I believe. Version 1 of this is a lovely ballad with beautiful vocals and a catchy piano accompaniment. Version 2, however, takes the computer-produced bass drum and random snare drum hits, also with the classic rave twist to the song. Again, what a waste of a song.
4) Again, let's take Cascada. Her first song, Everytime We Touch, is composed as follows: Verse, Chorus [both vocals] followed by three choruses in such rave music. The pattern is repeated as such for about 4 times, until she finally finishes it off with the last lines of the chorus. There's no talent in the song whatsoever. Truly, Madly, Deeply is composed much the same way. This is so irritating.
5) Such songs push other, more valuable songs out of the market. Damn them.
6) Rave/Dance music has given birth to the British Chav and the Scottish Ned. Ned's are made up of burberry caps, white tracksuit clothes with white socks (the tracksuit bottoms are always tucked into the socks). The boys all have identical spikey hair, while the girls have the same bleached-blonde hair. How repulsive, I say. These people are the regular people who always wanted a fight, who considered themselves cool. Before the Ned clique started, I thought these people WERE cool. Past tense.
7) Chavs/Neds ALWAYS have to have their Neddy music on full-blast everywhere - public transport, public shops, public schools, classrooms, restaurants. Ugh.
I hate Neds, Chavs, Rave and Dance music.
