Collingwood Day IV

BY ZEP

Why are 15 year olds introduced to the mass marketing machines of corporate-controlled music?

They just fuck everything up.

Like Justin Bieber. What is up with this kid?

I mean, yeah, he seems to have joined the numerous legions of Disney children who invade the confines of my mind each day.

However,

This kid is a whole new breed. He's not a Disney kid: He was actually signed by Usher, instead of being presented to the record labels as money on a platter. Why is it that actual, talented artists can legitimately work hard for years without any success, but these kids can have fame, fortune and success handed to them on a plate?

The music industry is a tried and true joke. Gone is the necessity of talent that made the legends of old.

It's been replaced by business moguls who will shape you into what they believe is "talented".

Gone is the concept of artistry and creativity.

They've been replaced with repetitive chord progressions, and empty lyrics that are devoid of emotion.

It's all a fucking hoax.

Will I ever experience "real" music again, or will I be relegated to having my cortex replay the Jonas Brothers and Miley and Justin fucking Bieber?

Hoping for a brighter musical future...
