I haven't heard most of the songs you listed in the first post so all I can say is, I don't find J-Lo's or Eminems songs crap because that's my sort of music

When did they do the indie band thing? Please remind me of THAT one. I do remmeber Charlie wearing grunge t-shirts (Sonic Youth) but taht was about it. They write GOOD/CATCHY Pop songs, and that's it. Why gripe that the lyrics are "simple" because why does it matter? Dance music doesn't even bother with them anyway so surely they are even more childish then Busted's? Does it make them worse? (I like some Dance music)Originally Posted by Ste
As for the technicality of the song, why should that matter? It doesn't make the song any less, because if it appeals because it's a pop song, then it's achieved it's purpose. Don't rant when there is no need.
Also:
Please explain what is GOOD music please, not GOOD music to you or to your friends, what GOOD music is generally. How do you define GOOD Music? Is it the technicality of the song (Babara Ann) or the lyrics (Barbara Ann) or how unpopular it is (probably in your book)? Do you define GOOD with the fact lots of people do not agree?. Does it make you special that you like stuff that very few people like, does it make the world better? And if you really think that Fan Bases matter then you sounds quite conservative. Next you'll be suggesting that metal "fan bases" are all long haired greebos or nerdy people who can't get sex. How stereotypical...thats why the genre pop music jsut means what it says popular.a bunch of teenage girls and oldman who wish to screw the pop singer who is hot probaly.Thats the largest fan base and there is so many fan bases trust me you haven't heard goo dmusic if oyu think pop music is good music.
"I think you'd make any (nice) woman happy... & I think you really deserve for someone to make you happy too for a change"
Does anyone else now have Barbara Ann totally stuck in their head now? xDDD Sorry!
And yeah, I too would like to know what is needed to qualify as good.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
You basically ignored everything that I posted, didn't you? I didn't say I found pop music good, I hate most of it, but the point is it's good music TO THE MAJORITY, considering the large amount of people who like it, it is considered "good".popular music isn't goo dmusic at all.Half the time instruments aren't used lbha blha blah corperation backed blah blah no creative vblah.Anyway the reason its even widely listened to is because its marketed towards young teens who don't know a cat from a dog.lol.Kids are bombarded with whats "cool" and "in" since they first start watching TV.And these corporations are smart enough to tell these teens to say "sakuar the best musical artist ever."All you need is a bunch of crappy teenage girls and its popular.The deal is though there are very very few music that gets heard and liked by a large fanbase and its actually good.

It's not whether you or I think it's good or not, by definition of how popular it is, it is considered "good".
green day isnt, but MCR and the Used (another top hit band) sure are. for god sakes, there first single was a song called "im not okay (i promise)" wtf is that? smurfin emo <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">.
Maybe you should try actually listening to the song rather than going on the title, the general theme is "Yeah, you should stop cheating on your boyfriend with me, it's too much trouble, go away".

Where's the "emo" in that? It's about dumping someone, not being dumped which is generally what people take as "emo".
You know nothing about music, at all.
And The Used are just too crap to be anything like emo, actual emo music requires some kind of talent.
OH GOD NO MUSIC I DON'T LIKE! AND UHH, IT HAS EMOTION! CRAP, IT'S EMO!
Okay, Lindy. I'm not saying MCR are emo, but what genre of music do you list them under?
The first album was "alt-screemo", as in some emo themes but a generally more hardcore style, the current album is "alternative pop-rock".
I like The used
And you also like The Rasmus, that about covers your "tastes".
Now that was un-called for
Poor Lindy. He spends all this time trying to explain why just because you don't like music doesn't mean it's crap, and then...
I like some songs by The Used, too. And classifications or genres mean very little to me. Last I checked, how good one percieves music to be has no impact on the genre/classification of the music. Ah well.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Last time I checked, The Used weren't classified as "emo", but as "rock", just people fall to calling something "emo" when it involves some kind of angst, which just really annoys me.
Good god, can't have emotions in songs now, can we?
If you've ever heard anything actually emo, and I mean real, decent emo, you can't say anything like The Used are emo.
You can define music as "crap" because of a lack of instrumental, lyrical or vocal talent, which The Used are a prime example of. Sure people like them, think they're good, fine by them, but by definition they're talentless.
Lindy, can i ask you to please stop calling me for my music?
God, you have a high view of yourself if you think I'm saying all this JUST to get at you, I don't give a damn about you, and it was directed at somebody else.
