Evolving Music

I don’t like how a lot of artists shed their style that is unique to them to sort of suit whatever style appeals to their target audience at the moment. It’s like record labels find artists with raw and genuine talent and then force this idea into their head that they need to morph it something different to stay afloat. I mean, I get trying to try new things with experimentation, but that’s completely different from becoming something else entirely. With experimentation, you still have the essence of their own style is still in there – the foundation or backbone didn’t change. I’d rather see artists fade out of their glory days sticking to their “good stuff” than seeing them still popular because a grip of 12 year olds get their parents to buy all of their electronic pop fluff tracks aired on the radio a couple days ago.

I hate when you don’t know what level you’re on in your relationship with someone so you kind of just sit there debating whether or not it’s too soon to verbally assault them with sarcasm

So recently I kind of read up on Woodstock ‘99, and overall it was depressing to read about. All the riots, the torching, the looting and the supposed gang raping is disgusting and actually really sad. I mean, here was this amazing festival, one that was was supposed to be “Three Days of Peace and Music” and the slow build up of teenage angst gained momentum and BAM. Granted, I don’t really think riots are ever necessary, but there’s a difference between riots with a purpose and ignorant teenage rebellion. And to me, this kind smells of corrupted youth. Interestingly enough, there’s all kinds of speculation on what fueled all this; dehydration, greedy vendors, etc. I happen to think it’s all of it.

Thinking about how stuff like this can happen with a little dehydration and angst the sun throws at you all along with vendors wringing every cent out of you kind of reminds me about people as a whole today. What if everyone today was put under the same (if not more potent) stressors on a massive scale? I guess I looked at this little music festival as a small glimpse/foreshadow of the possibility that under the right conditions - all of us would lose our head, strip our humanity from ourselves and run around right off the the edge of a cliff in a second. Scary.
