[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Show me a Beyoncé song that’s half as brilliant as anything by Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Eliot Smith. They were all great talents, songwriters with deep or emotionally affecting lyrics that didn’t have a message but reflected their (pained) realities of addiction, love, beauty. And yes, I realize they all died tragic deaths due to their additions. That underscores my point that. Don’t think music has to have a positive message. Black groups and artists like NWA, Public Enemy, Prince, even Salt and Pepe come to mind. Yes, I listen to these oldies because I’m Gen X. Bye bye, Bey. You trashy, clean up yr mustachey, yo a ho and yo gettin ol.[/quote]

wow, another clueless white gen-Xer calling Beyonce trashy. How original.

i guess that singing about heroin addiction is deemed not trashy but a "pained reality of addiction".

fwiw I love elliot smith and don't care for Beyonce.

But previous poster is so comically racist, it's like a caricature of clueless white people. [/quote]

But I’m not white. Not black either. That’s a head scratcher for you, huh? Also you can create art about any topic, but Beyoncé’s lyrics are just plain crass. She’s got nothing on great black women singers from the Motown era. She’s just trashy. Her music is junk.[/quote]

Np and no I don’t think it’s a head scratcher. You probably want to embrace and be embraced by white culture. [/quote]

No I don’t actually. I just want to listen to good music. I don’t care if it’s about drugs or sex. I don’t care if the artist is white, black or green. I grew up in the new wave era, them got into punk and indie stuff, and most recently listen to a lot of soul and Motown. I’m not white, but Asian. And I’m a woman! I have an extremely diverse group of friends and mostly don’t share their taste in music. I especially dislike most (not all) dance music or contemporary pop music. Country or country lite is the worst. What they call emo these days is pure face tattoo trash. NPR fetishizes the worst music. As you can tell I am opinionated about music, but not race.[/quote]

Anyone who has to explain they have “an extremely diverse group of friends” doesn’t. No one cares that you are a woman, that goes for everyone who screams that like it means something and is suppose to sway some kind of opinion. All I see is a person who basically hates music but feels like they need to explain why. Your idea of good music is subjective and honestly sounds like you would prefer to sit in silence. [/quote]
