quit it

So I was watching a video for one of the most recent winners of Season 2 disBand "These Kids Wear Crowns" and my thoughts were as follows:

- most annoying band name since Forever The Sickest Kids
- they ARE the Canadian FTSK
- im digging it and now i have to go watch their disBand episode

After getting filled in a bit on their story, I decided to check out one other song, besides the nauseatingly catchy single "Break It Up", on Youtube. While the cheery, power-pop played, I read through the mixed reviews in the comments.
It seems that either they HATED them or they LOVED them. There wasn't an in between. Excluding me of course because I'm a new fan (:
Anyways. What bothered me so much, that I had to log into blogger and rant about it, is all of those fucking trolling critics.
Yeah, we know about Aerosmith and Led Zepplin being music Gods. Can we move on now?
There are tons of scenes of music. If this power-pop, synth isn't your style, turn off your speakers and go flip through a vintage record store.
Hold on, hush now haters. I completely see where you're coming from. It seems unfair when music you find cruel to the ear becomes so widely popular, while bands you worship sit in the dusty shadows. And anyone you share that music with looks at you like it's the sound of trees dying.. Until they go mainstream.
But anyone and everyone is entitled to fulfilling their dream and reaching their goals. They're choosing to get there by singing in a high key, playing fast and singing about love and life and promoting happiness. How is that a bad thing? And why are you so all-knowing to have the right to want to take that opportunity away from them?
There were also comments saying that they didn't deserve to win the show and that they were only kept for ratings. You know what? Stfu. The show is there for a reason: to discover underground and unsighned CANADIAN bands, because there is a lot of prejudice against Canadian talent in regards to the music industry. And when a label signs a band, they want to earn money from that band. And to make money in the music industry, you need to have people who will buy your music. Obviously they're paying attention to ratings. Fan base, much?

I listen to a bunch of different types of music. I'm going to a show this weekend with a bunch of hardcore bands. They sing about the darker sides of life; pain, loss, hate. This type of music, obviously, tends to attract more aggresive crowds.
Yet a lot of screamo and metal bands all sound the same! It doesn't matter where you stick your break down, dude. It's still exactly the same as every other band you're touring with.
Sounding the same in agressive music doesn't matter, but once it's pop, if you have drums, a singer and guitars, you're immeditely labeled as a copy.
I think people need to hang up their guns sometimes and just view everything from a different perspective than their initial one. Yes, annoying band name. Popular style. White guys wearing tight pants. But they are, after all, These kids Wears Crowns, and are just getting started.

I just wanted to give my opinion on the overall approach to certain genres of music.

oh btw.
