Music Is Officially Dead
( to Gen-Z )
ʢ ▣ ◌ ◜♪◞ ∮ ⋱ ⫊
15 second, sped-up snippets of songs.
I`ll repeat that: 15 second, sped-up snippets of songs.
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile
…
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
I have nothing else to say, except Look What They Did to My Song, Ma.

Back in Blair’s day, it wasn’t widely nown that the late Tessa Jowell, a lady very fond of her expenses, was actually Mrs Mills. Here she is in her pre-Blairite days. It is rumoured that Mandy is on the drums:-

There you are toe-tapping melodies for Jen Z – something for everybody and nothing for long

What’s being discussed here is called Muzak.utter piffle.

Don mcLean was a fellow pie enthusiast so I’ll cut his gibberish some slack.
He probably ate it on the shitter like Elvis?
Won’t be as good as a Holland’s meat and potato pie, guaranteed.
I’m glad the music died
Put it out of its misery
It’d been ill for some time.
Modern youth don’t deserve good music,
The little cunts.

It’s not news and snippets of music have been around for at least 30 years.
I have a large collection of early trance albums.
Mixed by talented DJ’s and released by The Ministry of Sound or under the title Euphoria.
Each track will be a few minutes of a much longer version, the tracks being mixed seemlessly together.
When I liked a particular track I would download the full version.
15 seconds of a speeded up version just represents the attention span of the young people of today.

No surprises here.

modern music is still indeed absolute shite, still , I would still give Taylor swift a good rooting from behind dry whilst she sings I shake it off while Ariana Grande tongues my rusty sheriff’s badge,
morning cunters

I think I could tolerate that arrangement as well Sid.

Sorry, this is OT, but have I really just seen this headline?
‘Man in wheelchair stabbed to death in east London’.
This is what has become of our country.
19
It was a mostly peaceful murder..
15
Our country has been handed over to savages , we don’t belong here any more.
18
And suitably low down on the headlines this morning so as not to cause anger/offence.
Move along. Theres nothing to see here.
12
London has been under the control of Suckdick for 8 years so that is one thing the Fuehrer can’t blame on the Tories, but knowing that shit stain, he probably will.
14
‘Jade’…’Clapton’…etc
Don’t let it ruin your day,Geordie.

The man in the wheelchair was no doubt fully aware of Suck Dickque Khan’s wise mayoral advice that being stabbed to death is part and parcel of living in a modern city.
Good morning, everyone.

You will not be surprised to know this story is not on the BBC “News” website (though the late Len Goodman is, and Oasis):-

He was a one legged pavement ape

I’m all for it.
Only this morning I listened to Ace of Spades at x2 speed and it helped me neck 2 cans of Special Brew in record time.
Thanks kids!
Good morning.
11
Bloody hell Unk, at this hour I’m on the coffee not the Special Brew.
Morning all.

Gen Z again, no surprise there..
I saw a headline about them ordering food in restaurants via apps so they don’t have to interact with the staff.
Maybe they are getting submissive for the inevitable peaceful takeover, led by the Rodney and the Labour cock slurpers..
Daft, soft cunts..

Here is a song for today, humbly dedicated to Rachel Reeves (and her boss):

Yes that’s on my funeral party playlist. Thank you for making my morning WCB

Is it available as a ringtone

Once you get past 40, you generally find modern youth music to be dog wank. I assumed I was just getting old but I now think that the current strain of modern music might in fact be objectively shite.
It’s been the case since at least 2016/2017, but for me in 2018, it culminated in constantly skipping through the crap channels on my car radio and always landing on, and settling for, Classic FM. I wasn’t into classical music up until that point – the music industry and zoomers did that to me! Cunts.

I do exactly the same….!

Classical music was the music enjoyed by the young and trendy generation back in the day.
The difference is that it is so good that it is still enjoyed today.
I can’t see any of the modern music being listened to in hundreds of year’s time.
It’s all shit.
I was recently in a bar and they were playing old Michael Jackson music.
Fucking rubbish.
I can’t believe that we used to enjoy it.
8
When you say “Classical” I don’t think there is much chance we could get them to listen to a complete performance of Mahler’s 7th Symphony (The Song Of The Night)

If the kids are into 15 seconds of speeded up music then the future of live concerts looks gloomy.
There is no way that they could endure a 2 hour set of music at normal speed.
Besides that, they can’t keep away from their social media accounts for more than 90 seconds.

Benny Hill’s final scene springs to mind.

Today’s 🎶 ….no ta, 15 seconds of ed borehan is 16 seconds to long 😆….gen zoigoid have been brainwashed by the banality of life today with only selfies and likes being of any importance to them….down down deeper and down 👎

I blame skiffle. That was where the rot set in. Lonnie Donegan is the main culprit. Before his old nonsense, we had great music including Miki and Griff, Donald Pears, Clinton Ford, and Burl Ives…

I’ve always maintained that music was never the same after Glenn Miller went missing in the fog.
The day the music died.
Morning all.

Talking ’bout my g..g…generation.
We used to go to the High Street record shops and ask the people behind the counter to play a record that we could listen to in a booth.
Of course we had no money to buy the record, it was just something good to do.
Going to street markets there was always a few record stalls.
We would browse through the thousands of albums whilst listening to whatever was playing.
Saturday it would be Kensington indoor market.
The air thick with the smell of patchouli oil, joss sticks and marijuana.
There were several stalls playing and selling obscure, hippy-trippy music by artists that could actually play an instrument and sing.
Music brings back memories.
I would hate to be a teenager today.

The entire human race should be sterilised, allowed to die out and leave the planet to the birds and bees and fishes in the sea.
Human race = fucking pointless.

Another example of what I posted less than a week ago ..
“…this soshal meeja world of “some cunt dreamt up some useless thing to do and now a whole host of us useless cunts are going to imitate this pointlessness until the next moronic thing comes along”.
They’re in a fucking desperate.neverending race with themselves to be part of a useless pile, as per that stupid fucking nonsense in the link.
And the worldwide population rises by 200,000 every day.
There’s no hope for the species.

On a lighter note, S.O.D’s final song on their 1985 release (‘Speak English or Die’) was listed as ‘Diamonds and Rust(extended version)’ which clocked in at 2 seconds long and was pretty good despite not having a solo. 😄

Incidentally cunters might like another track from the same album, .. ‘Fuck the Middle East’.
Here’s verse #1..
Fuck the Middle East
There’s too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices
We’ll kill them all and have a ball
And end their fuckin’ crisis…

I remember the old man – son of a classical musician – sounding off about skiffle in much the same terms. It’s generational thing. Sure I can see very little musical merit in what I hear of present offerings, but I’m maybe missing the nuances – after all, blues is just the same three chords and a bit of noodling if you’re lucky, and I quite like that.
I must guiltily confess that I’m addicted to psytrance/ Goa, a taste developed in parallel with some time spent enjoying Northern Lights. Again, there’s often not a lot of musicality in that: it’s visceral.
Verdict on the nom: pass.
