Music snobbery ._.

I watched 2NE1's "I Am The Best" MV (with lyrics, fu yea) when I saw this comment below:

(in response to some other idiot) You're right. Autotuned from 0 to 3:35 with pretentious lyrics that mean pretty much nothing, this is the culmination of K-Pop.

Me:





And then there was this awesome person who answered to that idiot above:


God, what's got people's knickers in a twist here? Not every song needs to have deep meaning. Don't be pretentious and a hypocrite by saying you only listen to songs with deep lyrics because if that's the case you don't understand what music really is
Anyhoo I like to sing this song whenever I feel ugly and down, screaming at the top of my lungs NAEGA JEIL JAL NAGA
this is such an awesome feel good song :)

Me:

(I'm not sure if it was a gurl tho.../shrugs/)

Music snobbery is one of the most ridiculous things EVER.
'That's not REAL music.'
Oh please, enlighten me, define: REAL music.
Srsly, do those people even realize how stupid they sound? It makes me wonder what they even listen to music for.
I like if a song has a interesting meaning, it's a nice wow-effect, but I don't literally look after songs with deep lyrics.
I look after what makes me addicted/feel good/have fun to listen to and the best example is K-Pop. I understand first, but I'm like OMG THIS SONG IS AWESOME. AJSFKSHJJK.
When I listened to SHINee's Lucifer I didn't know the lyrics for like, 2 weeks. And after I bothered to read the translation I was like OMG THE LYRICS ARE FREAKIN AMAZIGN, IT'S OMG---I LOVE IT EVEN MORE (if that was possible lol xD) <3 <3
The only thing which...well, 'dislike' is a strong word...irritate me? When lyrics make NO sense at all, may they be deep or not, I don't care. It's irritating. xD
 

Then there's autotune. So WHAT if it's autotuned, ffs.
It's for the sake of making stuff sound better or to your liking. It has a cool effect and some songs wouldn't sound their way if there wasn't the autotune (example: Bonamana).

The only thing I don't approve of, is when a concert is playback/autotuned. Because I didn't pay for playback to be played but to actually hear live singing. (but I usually check that beforehand, btw, Panic! At The Disco is SUPERB live (that's not my record tho, but I was at exactly this one (stood in the middle) :D) they're polite, funny, nice AND ON TIME (and the tickets are affordable, I payed 27€), you'll have the time of your life, we were like 250-300 people (it was a small concert, but that was even better) and it wasn't a concert but a freakin party xD I've recorded a lot, if you want me to, I can upload a little :) <3))
And believe it or not (and I hate to admit it) Rihanna was good too (I was at the concert from her Rated R Tour a few years ago (not a fan but her album was pretty good), but it was my first and last concert by her cause let me and 4000 other ppl wait for 2 frikkin hours and didn't even apologize and I know (cause I talked to them while we waited for entry) there were people who waited for her like about 10 hours to get good view (I was just lucky with my spot, I didn't come very early, I was like 'nope, the most I'll come earlier is max 2 hours')
OMG nononono, I'm fangirling again, /P!ATD FEELS/ THE P!ATD CONCERT WAS SO AWESAM AJKSFHSKLHSFJK P!ATD FTW xD

/coughs/
Sorry. Almost got offtopic.

xD

ANYWHALES:
I'm also annoyed by that romantic idea a lot of people share/force on others that you have to make music without the intention of earning money. Guys. It's a JOB, isn't it? Don't tell me you work as a cashier at starbucks or whatever, cause it was your dream to deal with stupid/impolite/rude customers and PuhLEASE do NOT pay me for that.
please.
You work to earn money, right? Of course it's great if you can do what you love for a living, but it doesn't always work out and you may have to do an other job than planned. But does someone judge you for that?
No, of course no one judges you for that, but beware if you're a musician/artist/whatever and do your job with the intention to earn for your living.
THAT'S LIKE THE WORST THING EVER AND YOU'RE UNREAL. UNREAL. UR FAKE. BOOOHOOO. /sarcasm/
(Quality of the music is an other story tho).

I'm truly amazed by those ppl's arrogance and s they give. Very insecure ppl, eh? How do you even manage to put energy in being that pointless? ._.

I remember when I had entry exam into art university a month before, I talked to other people about music and there was this one idiot who was all like (and I'll shorten it up): 'I listen to everything BUT charts/mainstream, no, ew...' <---gave u the nice version
And I was like slap it--SLAP IT ACROSS THE FACE--SLAP---but then I was like 'no no, relax, that'd be quite violent, ur cool, remember?', so I was like


sighed and smacked him mentally (he didn't pass, lol, too bad , didn't liked u nway). ._.

Or that one time where Amy McDonald was talking about Lady Gaga and felt all above her and I was like:

Nope. NOPE. I won't even listen to what you say anymore cause you're ridiculous (but I still like her 'Doo Wah Doo' song).
 


Are some of you the same like those douchebags? I hope not. Pls dun't be like that.


That's all I have to say to that topic I think. Hope I changed some people's views in that matter a little. ._.
Feel free to share your opinion. :)
