Music Survey, out of curiousity =)?

Okay, here's the deal.. If you like classical music, say "yes" and tell me why, which instrument you prefer, and if you play any.. If you don't like classical music, say "no" and tell me why ^^;



I like classical music, it's fun and it makes me happy.. And I prefer violin (Violin Junkie) - - I play violin(3 years.. ) and piano(12 years).



Music Survey, out of curiousity =)?

-(Myspace music www.myspace.com)



yes, violin (been playing it for 10 years), I play lots of classical music because that's all I usually play. It's fun and alternative; I like it more because it's not pop; it's cleverer and more inspiring. Baroque's the best!

No.. it doesn't gives me eargasms..!
i played the viola for 3 years and i love classical music its what i do yoga to
yes however i do not like it as much as other kinds of music. when i do listen to classical its a nice change and its incredibly relaxing and no instrument
"no", coz I think it's lame!



I play electric guitar.
no, because i do not like the sound of it
Yes. I don't have a favorite instrument I love the interactions of a variety of instruments. The reason I like it is it is so deep and evokes such emotions, joy, sorrow, contentment, calmness, it all depends on which piece is being played
Yes.. I believe that classical music is the root of today's music.. I've been playing the piano for bout 15 years, and I also play a traditional chinese zither for 3 years.. I love classical music, wherever they come from..Beside, they've got interesting history behind..
Yes, because 'popular' music these days is just... Ouch. That same 'melodic' line repeating over and over and over again. Masked with cursing, and nasty language. I love classical music... so much variety and feelings to be provoked.

Why Is American Popular Music Such a Joke?

Why is American popular music such a joke? The only genre of music consistently releasing top quality material is Classical (and most of the time it's only modern orchestras playing 18th and 19th Century music)... It's quite obvious, when listening to the radio, that the most common Pop styles of music (Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, Rap) are dead. I heard a great Jazz singer the other day and was surprised to learn she's from France (a non-American playing American music better than most Americans). Unfortunately, the 'independent' and 'underground' acts I've heard are worse than mainstream bands (with few exceptions, of course). I can't think of one contemporary band that will one day be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I feel like there are geniuses out there but they'll never make it because average people buy crap like Korn and Britney Spears (would Aretha Franklin be famous in today's shallow MTV Pop consciousness?). What is going on and what needs to be done?!

I can think of one right off the top of my head that will be inducted...The Red Hot Chili Peppers

its all the same
aome people have different tastes. but i say pop is the best
Well, I don't agree. For one, you didn't mention the greatness of Bruce Springsteen, which pretty much makes your entire argument meaningless.
I agree (mostly).



it is because it is corporate driven, and the produce what is safe. What they KNOW will sell to teeny-boppers (the ones with the disposable income for record sales and such).



Aretha might still be famous. After all, Missy Elliot is an off-center beauty and has quite a career.
Most popular music is, and always has been, made popular by those who buy and listen to it. Nowadays, thats teenagers and, sadly, teenagers aren't the brightest group. They're mostly followers, who listen to what their friends like and don't take the time to find what they like. They'll buy the music their friends are listening to, which is the music they request on the radio.



On top of that, music has moved on from being MUSIC to being ENTERTAINMENT. It's no longer "So-and-so is a great band with awesome guitar riffs and moving lyrics," but rather "So-and-so is hot and did you hear he just got arrested for DUI! Oh my God!!"



IMHO, if other countries are making better music, like you're French jazz singer, then so be it. Go outside the good ole USA, and don't think of it as American music, but good music. Heck, my favorite band is British!

Whoa ! Chillax bro



Classical ? hahahaha



[edit] International and social impact



American popular music has become extremely popular internationally. Rock, hip hop, jazz, country and other styles have fans across the globe. BBC Radio DJ Andy Kershaw, for example, has noted that country music is popular across virtually the entire world [79]. Indeed, out of "all the contributions made by Americans to world culture... (American popular music) has been taken (most) to heart by the entire world" [80]. Other styles of American popular music have also had a formative effect internationally, including funk, the basis for West African Afrobeat, R%26amp;B, a major source for Jamaican reggae, and rock, which has profoundly influenced most every genre of popular music worldwide. Rock, country, jazz and hip hop have become an entrenched part of many countries, leading to local varieties like Australian country music, Tanzanian Bongo Flava and Russian rock.



Rock has had a formative influence on popular music, which had the effect of transforming "the very concept of what popular music" is [81] while Charlie Gillett has argued that rock and roll "was the first popular genre to incorporate the relentless pulse and sheer volume of urban life into the music itself" [82].



The social impacts of American popular music have been felt both within the United States and in foreign countries. Beginning as early as the extravaganzas of the late 19th century, American popular music has been criticized for being too sexually titillating and for encouraging violence, drug abuse and generally immoral behavior. Criticisms have been especially targeted at African American styles of music as they began attracting white, generally youthful audiences; blues, jazz, rock and hip hop all fall into this category
Talent isn't nearly as important as it used to be. People are more concerned with how hot someone is, or what the latest tabloid scandal is. Who cares if she can sing a note? Record labels and MTV tell us what we like.. so we don't have to think for ourselves.



Aretha wouldn't make it today, unless she had a big *** and a tight stomach.



Unfortunately no-talent embarrassments like The Pussycat Dolls and Fergie have hits because they are good looking and can traipse around on stage in their underwear.



It's not so much their lack of musical ability that irritates me, as much as the absurd lyrical content that they try to pass off as art that is really insulting.



Can we please just take a minute to review the lyrics of these songs? I bet if you all REALLY looked at them, you would think twice about buying that Rhianna album!
The answer is simple, and somebody already stated it. Marketing. The music industry's market is girls aged 12-29. They will promote and release anything that they think these girls will buy, and unfortunately, what they buy is a bunch of ****. Music today will never be as good as it was, and that's a cold hard reality. Somebody mentioned the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but they aren't a new band at all. Anthony Kiedis just turned 45 the other day and they have been recording since the mid-late 80's, so that's irrelevant. There will surely be people inducted into the R%26amp;R HOF, but the ones that make it from today's bands 25 years down the road from now won't even compare to the cultural and social impact that the bands already inducted have contributed...not to mention the complete separation in musical talent. All this is coming from a 23 year old musician by the way, so don't jump all over me for being old...I listen to nearly all genre's of music from the 1940's to music that hasn't even been released on albums yet. The bottom line is big business controls today's music, and it isn't very legitimate. Poppy singers to poppy rock bands to cheesy hip hop...it's never as good as it was.
Wait a minute Korn is not crap. Their new stuff may not be the best but still they certainly should be respected. Try their first cd, can you find any other cd that compares to that originality? The lyrics are so powerful no other band has done that.

Why is black youth music and culture often more violent then white kids music and culture.?

Why is black youth music and culture often more violent then white kids music and culture.



People can be into any scen and you get idiot white kids tryign the gangster culture and black guys into metal.



But mostly seems all the hip hop, grime etc is into this scum



gang, hard man, thug, hgangster, wear trousers down butt as you actually support scumbag dirt who deseserves to be in prision with people wanting to intimidate each other and kill each other over theis looney tunes notion of dont dis me respect.



Im sorry real respect is gained from protecting others and acievement. not bing biggest thug.



Whilst more white music is about love and Hippy festivasl where everyone is nice and caring and soppy fluffy psitrance glow in the dark clothes psi trance music



With even heavey metal clubs with the violent imgagry , never actually turning that into rerality where their clubs are all peaceful and who cares if drinsk are spilt or somone bumps into you.



Why is black youth music and culture often more violent then white kids music and culture.?

-(Myspace music www.myspace.com)



Unfortunatley I think It's an issue of social class/ecomony. The youth cultures associated with high levels of violence (including the music-based sub-cultures you mention here) are those that are popular in areas of high poverty/unemployment. The violence occurs when musicians, who are telling it how it really is, point out the unfairness of the situation. art imitates life, life imitates art and self fulfilling prophesy ensues.



Why is black youth music and culture often more violent then white kids music and culture.?

-(Myspace.com graphics myspace.com)



what about rock and heavy metal music....



saying stuff like:



cut my wrist, blood, suicide, asphyxiation, screaming like a fag00t with no balls, pedophilia, rape, i heard one called fked with a knife, they cut words and pictures on them self's like a fag0t, talk about death and cannibalism.....



they are mentally Ill...



black crime is associated with poverty.....



music does not significantly effect crime rate
I am not sure
do you know 65% of the people that consume rap are white? So please.
are you f*cking kidding me???



with all crazy white music out there such as marilyn manson and osbourne and all the other crazy people recording albums with 0 talent, who are you to judge???
theres no such thing as black music. you meAN HIP HOP? ACTUALLY MORE RAPS SONGS NOW ARE ABOUT DANCING AND TALKING TO CHICKS.



but if the white kids you know are dumb enough to do it then thats ur problem
because its a stereotype that is forever planted in our brains
you obviously haven't heard of columbine.



EDIT:



"Whilste gangster rap fans would kill sokone over being looked at in a way they doid not like.



Big difference between years of abuse and going violent over nothing ."



Take a look at the people who were killed and injured by these poor bullied kids. Victims included a kid with cerebral palsy, one of the few black kids in the school, and plenty of other people who were complete rejects. Read up a little on the subject and you will realize these guys might have been bullied, but they were also bullies themselves. They were hypocrites, who shot and bullied the underdogs at their school.
When these "gangster" rappers are making music. They are usually doing that of which reflects their lives. Most of them are fabricating it to some degree. But the ones that talk about being homeless, and having to do things they aren't proud of, well thats their life. Just because its in a song doesn't mean it never happen.
It's a reflection of a view of reality. If you feel helpless a lot of time violence seems like your only resort. I think things are getting better though. People are sick of this and aren't buying it.
The answer is obvious - does any level headed, law abiding person need to ask this question?
um, doesn't heavy metal tell you to kill ya-self, haven't people committed suicide due to that music, yes all heavy metal doesn't advocate these things, same goes for rap, have you ever heard of ole school rap, ll cool j, will smith, montell jordan...lighten up...i do agree, hip hop is getting out of controll these days, what will these rappers say when the same boys listening to their music start to rape their daughters and kill their sons, we have to realize it's only gonna get worse...i'm not calling it on them but when you advocate this crap, it's not gonna help...
I agree with what you said... but hip hop and rap doesn't turn poeple into thugs, it is a product of poor ghettoes... it comes from there, it is a product of the violence, and it does promote violence....



In short, rap and hip hop is a product of violence, but rarely produces violence... unless two douche bags decide to kill each other over it... (cough... Tupac)...



But hey, don't school shooters tend to listen to angry metal music?



But still, rap is on its way out, sales of all rap and hip hop CDs are down 30% so cheer up!
"Whilst more white music is about love and Hippy festivasl where everyone is nice and caring and soppy fluffy psitrance glow in the dark clothes psi trance music"



That is the most untrue statement of the year and you know it. I haven't heard a song about Hippy festivals in my entire life, and I listen to almost every genre of music (except for certain country and that genre where they bite chickens heads off or something). Anyway, yes some rap is violent, but it is an extreme or hardcore form or music at times. There are a lot of rap songs that are only about a dance or a relationship or money. The same could go for a certain genre of music that is mainly produced by white people. There are genres of "black" music other than rap that are mostly about relationships and things like that (R%26amp;B, soul, etc.)
you are delusional~
It is violent because the people who create it are violent, and the people who listen to it are enamored with the violent criminal lifestyle it represents.



Black OR wigger.
because of the nature of the beast. look in the jails and see the population there. NO, SEE IT. And i believe you have genuine perceptions here. as to why, perhaps this is what they enjoy. YEAH, I KNOW.
You don't live in the real world if you really believe that.
its a stereotype, get it through your thick skull! What about hevay metal, rap etc, it influences, suicide, drugs and all that c rap with white people........



just admit you are plain jealous, maybe you haven't realise but many white people nowadays are trying to act black... HOW PATHETIC! What a pathetic set of race your people are!! Not all blacks are the same..... Arghh you people are driving me nuts, i know they are so good whites out there but seriously, im starting to hate whites on a whole now because of all these racist people on here!!
Hardcore rock nonviolent psssh you wish
The types who create and listen to this trash have a chip on their shoulders.



Perhaps if they put in the same effort at school and at work as white people,then they wouldnt have to resort to crime then blame it all on white people for "disadvantaging" them.
You know why you're questioning yourself because your putting way too much thought into it as skin color.



Notice how you said : "People can be into any scen and you get idiot white kids tryign the gangster culture and black guys into metal."



You're considering it a skin color controversy.When it's mostly a persons individuality.



Stereotypically,



Have you notice that the percentage of youths suicides,cutters are white.



Have you notice that the percentage of gang members are black and Hispanic.



Black,White,Hispanic,Asian etc..



It doesn't always has to do with ethnicity.



And since when is there a such thing as 'white music'.



There is really isn't a such thing as a caring loving hippy festival.



BUT there is a such thing as crazy wild mosh pits and the percentage of people that go are either white.



I feel as sorry,as your mind is set to stereotype.You feel that every black person is either a 'thug some violent person' and that's not the way one should think,be more open minded and exclude yourself from stereotypes.



I'm Hispanic myself and to your surprise I enjoy Trance,Classical and 80's music.



The reason why you're saying this is obviously because you've experienced bad things with certain black people,not every is the same.
Because they are tribal
cos the nigghas poppin evryones a ss innit like!!!! in the hood listenin to rap shat pingin off jiggy zay from cross the way, put a cap in his yall scrawny lil a ss innit fool. braaahp! G UNITTTT



in the hoood yall wanna scream your black sh1t all on me. yeh fool shaazah bammmm ooooooo ya look like a foooool
I listen to both rap and metal i am not a mad nutter from either one of them if music turns you in to a bad person then there was something there already you have to be a nutter before listening people use it as an excuse and yes some metal fans do cut themselves and others i have seen it from a mate first hand i don t blame the music he listened to i blame his state of mind while listening to it
it;s easier to thug than to get a job.
