There are so many bands that are incredibly popular right now that should not be getting the recognition that they are getting. I'm not saying their bad...well I kind of am, but I'm not comparing these people to people who are incredibly awful, but just so happened to hit a fad wave, and now their superstars (i.e. Justin Bieber). These are bands who continue to be popular for some reason, when in reality they are not as good as people make them out to be.
1.) The Foo Fighters - Sure after Kurt Cobain blew his brains out Dave Grohl abandon ship to start a new project. The Foo Fighters have maybe two good songs at best, but other than that, every single song that becomes popular by them is the exact same. A 7 minute song, that starts off with a nice beat, they play the chorus once, then have a 2 minute long bridge, followed by the band just raging and Dave singing as loud as he can the same thing over and over (Listen to the song "The Pretender" and you have heard at least 25 other Foo Fighter songs). Every year though they somehow are this huge rock band with a "new" sound.
2.) Taylor Swift - how the fuck does she keep winning awards in country! she is not a country singer! All of her songs are driven for frat boys who think it's cool to listen to her, and girls to say they can relate to all of her songs. Their horrible love or break up songs, that again all sound the same.
3.) Green Day - Green Day used to be the bee's knees way back in the early 90's, but then stardom struck and they became one of the biggest sellout bands I have ever seen. They used to be very punk rock, like on the 'Dookie' album (which is one of the greatest album names ever might I add) and for some reason lately all of their songs are these political embedded songs (Minority), that people sing to and don't even realize what the fuck they're singing about.
4.) Lady Gaga and Nikki Minaj - These two women need to be in prison for identity theft. Lady Gaga is America's new Madonna, she isn't doing anything new...Gaga just managed slip herself right into the role where everyone thinks she is super artistic, and an "actual" artist for how she acts, but in reality she just does everything Madonna did. Nikki Minaj is even worse because at least Lady Gaga is somewhat talented. Nikki Minaj completely stole Lil Kim and Da Brat's identity. The only problem is is she can't rap. She just uses that disgusting deep voice of hers, and raps about dirty things, and all the sudden people think she is fucking brilliant. Well, if they knew something about music, they would know that the original two already did that shit.
5.) Any band who sounds like Nickelback, 3 Days Grace, or Breaking Benjamin - Dear God, somehow these bands have made themselves famous by being awesome metal bands, but the truth is, not only do they all sound the exact same, but there music is horrible. I mean seriously, I'm almost certain that no of them writes their own music, all of the guys in the band can play, but not that well, just enough to create music. Anyone can distort an amplifier and strum a guitar. It is so bad, yet on the rock radio station, these bands are fucking playing one after another. 10 years, Papa Roach, Evan's Blue, Chevelle, all are basically the same band with a different name. Jesus Christ how I hope this fad dies out.
Lastly, I encourage everyone to try and listen to new things instead of what you hear on the radio. There are so many awesome bands that are out there that don't make it on the radio. All genre's of music (except country), and as for rap music, I suggest going back to old school shit from the 80's & 90's like Wu Tang Clan, N.W.A, Big L, and all the other guys who actually rapped. The same can be said for old rock, but fuck, stay away from these bands that are so shallow and disappointing.
