Welcome to the real world Deco. welcome to the real world.

It's all a matter of popularity. Regardless of how sub-par I think Bieber is, there will be a large number of people who listen to him. Back to the minority cave!

 

[Eon]

Yes, yes, welcome to pop culture.

Do you think there'd be more views for a song from the 70s or a viral popular mainstream song?

 

[The Deco]

I wonder how it would like if we had youtube in the 70s

 

[Zeonix]

The most popular music would probably have been the most popular, eventually being replaced by a new popular song.

Rebeca Black - Friday

By popular demand, only for you Nemix!

 

[Eon]

Thank god, I didn't know if I'd ever find that video again!

You know, I don't even like the songs that you imply are superior and deserving of more views (ie: Stairway to Heaven). Music is a very personal and subjective thing, you shouldn't get upset that not everyone has the same view on it as you do. People will like what they like.

 

[The Deco]

I dont like stairway to heaven either (not anymore) or sweet child o mine, but those are the classics, those are the first to hear and most popular songs of those bands.

I listen to jeff buckley, bob dylan, pixies, bob marley, beatles, eric clapton (cream mostly), the clash, ramones and many more. I admit I mostly listen to rock, but it is far from being my sole genre

I, for one, don't like Janis Joplin, but I have no problem for someone else to listen to her. But Rihanna, thats another thing.

I just saw the Rebecca Black video, I WILL ******* KILL HER AND WHO EVER MADE HER FAMOUS!!! WWHHATTTT THHHAAA FUUCUCCCKKKKK.

As a punishment to himself, this guy who made her famous must burn all of his money he made from her. Or give it to someone who actually needs it, yes thats a possibility.

When I listen to pop music all I can usually translate is

That video is both hilarious and creepy.

 

[omnomnom]

Those sheep were actually crying out in respone to hearing rebecca black and justin beiber singing a duet.... granted, we havent heard it yet... those sheep, bless their hearts for warning us.

 

[MrPlow]

When I listen to pop music all I can usually translate is SNIP!

[omnomnom]
