I guess this should have been addressed a long time ago, but… do you dislike the music, or does it suck? I think there’s alot of people that don’t know the difference between the two. Even more so, people don’t care to know the difference between the two. With the release of any new music, we get a strong lash of people that express their discontent (prematurely if you ask me). Before I even get into the difference between “Dislike vs. It Sucks”, what do you think people think of your views when you express that you feel a project sucks, then later down the line you’re the projects biggest fan?
Now, if you dislike an artist, or a specific song, wouldn’t it be better to say you dislike it for your own personal reasons, rather than saying it sucks? If you dislike something, then it just so happens not to appeal to what you’re listening for. If you expect to hear a southern influence in your favorite music, but you happen to hear something with a western or northern feel, then you’ll end up disliking it whether its good or not. Its all in what you’re listening for. I constantly express that I’m not a fan of Joe Buddens… he just doesn’t appeal to what I want to hear. I think he makes good music though. If you dislike something, you should also be grown enough to be able to say whether or not what you dislike still is worthy of another persons ear. You never know how far your influence may reach. If you’re an artist, do you want people to be discouraged towards your work all because someone that dislikes “you” says your work sucks? If you say you don’t care… you’re full of shit! Be real with yourself for once.
Okay… onto music that sucks. Again, this is something that is purely based off of opinion. Like, for me, a song can suck simply because the quality of the recording, or because the high hat isn’t quantized to the track… making everything in the song sound off. The song could suck because the production is bad, or because the lack of lyrical ability of the artist. The song could simply suck because of the lack of content or direction. You should have some sense of reason in your opinion. As much as I would like to think there is reasoning behind most peoples opinions, there really isn’t. We live in a society that places a heavy influence on being cool to be a bandwagoneer.
Needless to say, before you go and say something sucks (pauze), be man/woman enough to say that its just something that doesn’t appeal to you. Lil’ Wayne’s Carter III didn’t/doesn’t appeal to me, but with 3 million plus copies sold, it must appeal to someone. I don’t think it sucks though, dude has talent. There are songs that I like on the album, but the album as a whole just didn’t appeal to what I want to hear. Grow the fuck up people. I know what I’m saying won’t change much… especially for those that are full time professional bandwagoneers (if you take offense to the explaination of anything in this blog… YOU are the bandwagoneer I’m talkin about).
Lets GO people!….. Stay F.R.E.S.H. with whats next. I. N.ever F.ail
