Pop Needs To Drop.

A basic thought that lingers in my mind quite often goes something along the lines of, 'Where in the hell did music go?'

Not even Dr.Suess has an answer to that riddle. I do know what has happened to it though. A basic music scene or genre, has taken over the charts. It runs America as we know it, and is constantly being overproduced. Pop, we call it. It first started, I don't really know when, but Michael Jackson was involved. He was the "Pop King," I think some called him. This pop music gave the ill-talented people the chance to create their own music, and it brought down the legends.

Some good examples of the mysterious classics...
- Classic Rock
- Soul
- R&B
- Country

These music creations and pieces of art have fallen to the bare minimum of a what we call a "good tune." Soul is practically gone, my personal favorite of the ones listed. Only a few struggling bands are out there trying to keep it up. Classic Rock doesn't exist anymore. Country has crushed rapidly to the similar sounds of a 'twangy-pop.' And R&B has turned into Rap. I've been hoping that John Legend, John Mayer, Ben Harper and a few others can bring back a sense of meaning into music, and not just... "I'm bringing sexy back." There is no meaning in that what so ever, yeah it's catchy, but why?

My basic reasoning for this, is that when look back at the past couple of decades and the next few, there won't be any legends. We won't have that honor to say, "I seen that person before they were major stars." There are just too many people trying to make it in the music world. Almost all the songs we hear today, are one hit wonders. Today's generation needs to take a history lesson, and actually take time to understand the meaning behind Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. Two of my favorite people in the world.

This is all my opinion. Don't judge me simply because I judge the world. It's what I do.
