Musicians today are fake

RE: Musicians today are fake
There's a reason I like older music.

Manufactured bands are not musicians.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

You're walking into a McDonald's expecting all the satisfaction of sitting down to eat a complex meal that you prepared yourself; of course you're going to be disappointed when the cashier shoves a box of processed additives into your hand and barks a pre-programmed 'thank you' in your stupid face.
I am John Cena's hip-hop album.

I got news. Its always been like this. Look up awards shows from years past. Full of people being pumpted up with all sort of praise, but the second they stop putting albums out, that's it nobody gives a fuck any more. That is why half the 14 year olds with a guitar know the trees, but you never hear a band the partridge family anymore.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Hozier's holding it down pretty well. Listen to In a Week by him and shit your pants that he's mainstream.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Screw it:

In a Week
Quote:I have never known peace
Like the damp grass that yields to me
I have never known hunger
Like these insects that feast on me

A thousand teeth
And yours among them, I know
Our hungers appeased
Our heartbeats becoming slow

We lay here for years or for hours
Thrown here or found
To freeze or to thaw
So long we become the flowers
Two corpses we were
Two corpses I saw

And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
After the insects have made their claim
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

I have never known sleep
Like the slumber that creeps to me
I have never known color
Like this morning reveals to me

And you haven't moved an inch
Such that I would not know
If you sleep always like this
The flesh calmly going cold

We lay here for years or for hours
Your hand in my hand
So still and discreet
So long we become the flowers
We'd feed well the land
And worry the sheep

And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle show fear
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
When the weather gets hot (So long we become the flowers)
They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
When the cattle shows fear (So long we become the flowers)

And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has had its say

I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

I doubt that very much

I can personally attest to this; after I listened to trance, I never felt the desire to listen to music again.

Sure, once you get used to eating hospital gruel - it's all the food you need... Personally - I'd kill myself if I had to listen to one very limited genre of computer-generated music, but to each their own, I suppose.
