In with the old, out with the new

Lately I've lost my taste for the music of today, which is nothing but artist bringing back electro. So I've been winding it down for the past year with my music, bringing back all my oldie favorites. Since they were basically the reasons for the music my generation today is so into.

As I sit here in my room, getting myself ready for the day. I go back on what me and my best friend have talked about when it comes to music today. Well guess what, it's gone to crap. Honestly, anyone can be a singer now since all the music world wants to see is a pretty face and a bangin' body. Forget the voice, we can electronically fix that in a jiffy! What has happened to real talent? It's being covered and pushed away by the blind society we live in.

Now I can go back, way back to the actual talent that created what you kiddies listen to today. Here are a few that might just be something new to you. Billy Holiday, The Beatles, Nirvana, David Bowie, KoRn, The Cure, Nena, Cyndi Lauper, The Kooks, Journey, U2, KISS, The Rolling Stones, Motely Crue, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, The Beastie Boys, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Queen, Sarah Brightman, Courtney Love, so on so forth. I could name more but these are some of the best and the ones I grew up on. So enough said, okay?

But today you got people like practically all of the Disney Channel going from actors to the next pop sensation for the tweens but then try to grow up and then let their young fans go sour with them. Big examples Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff. Great examples. I mean come on, you go blaming other people for your problems when its clearly your fault. Not the companies. So do some blow and smile for the paparazzi.

Then you have nothing but stars today going mainstream. Stay yourselves! Stay the way you were, the way people really fell in love for you! Not what a company makes you. Some of my biggest and all time favorite artists who haven't let the mainstream take over are Lady Gaga, Emilie Autumn, Avril Lavigne, Seether, The Gorillaz, Tokio Hotel, The Pretty Reckless, Evanescene, Marilyn Manson, Ozzy, etc. So, you can see what I'm saying? These artists have kept the same way since the beginning, yes they may have changed slightly but clearly they are still who they are. So believe when I say fuck the mainstream. If I were to ever make it far into the music industry, even if I only get so far I would stay myself. And I don't want to hear any bull crap about how 'Oh it's not their fault, it was a good change, blah blah blah' that doesn't mean shit.

I mean, listen to at least a few of the groups I listed previously. None of the ones I'm bashing. The ones I suggest. They are true blue talent and are as real as you can get. Instead your minds have been warped by the synthy electro pop, which is only coming back because apparently the system wants to taint your minds a little more. Hell I would rather you watch movies like Rocky Horror's Picture Show, Grease, Cry Baby and so on, because they have better music than most today.

Now I understand many of you might have different opinions and everything but guess what. I don't wanna hear it because this is clearly Schuyler Dawn's blog and that means that this is what I see, feel and hear. Now I'm open for comments and whatnot but don't get butt hurt just because I bashed one of your favorites. If that is what you think I did then I could go ahead and make a BASHING CELEBRITY BLOG if that makes you feel any better.

So here is first blog on my feelings for music, clearly that means there is more to come. So be waiting.
