I want to start out by yes, admitting my wrongs. First of all, I did make the mistake of liking pop groups such as: Backstreet Boys, 'Nsync, five, 98Degreees, B*witched, Spice Girls and Many more, and before I knew it, bought their crappy Cd's! That on my part was the mistake that almost all Americans make at least once in their musical life!! (Michaeal Jackson, Tiffany, New Kids on the Block anyone?!?)
But, now I have "grown up" and realized that not only do these groups have no talent, but they also fall into a category many band and groups did in the 80's and early 90's! And that is "Glamour" music! They take the whole meaning of music and violate the rules. they use their looks and "image" to their advantage. Here's an example- Think of the ugliest person you know. If you are a Backstreet Boys fan(or any other GROUP)take their voice and put it with this ugly person. Would you think that the groups was just as good? Or like them as much? In most Teeny- boppers minds, the answer would be No.
Now, take a rock(punk, ska,alternative, etc) band - they are a "BAND" which means they play their own instruments and write their own music. Also meaning that they have real talent.And take KoRn for instance. Jonathin Davis is one of the ugliest men in band that I know! But I think that KoRn rocks! Not beacause of " OH MY GOD! JONATHIN DAVIS IS SOOOO FINE!!" But because they write awesome music,lyrics, and they know how to put on a show! That's what is important in music today!
I guess my point in this page is to make you think before you kiss your $15 good- bye on a gay Backstreet Boys Cd!! Spend it on something cool instead... Like ... 3 Doors Down new Cd " A Better Life " , now that is some real music!
