Caltrops - No Stairway to Heaven





	[quote name="Cree\'xul"][quote name="NT Fullofkittens NT"]What I'm saying is, most good periods of rock music have been in reaction to a period of ascendancy for sappy pop. The Beatles hit after Pat Boone was in the Top Ten. The Ramones came right after shit like The Partridge Family and The Carpenters owning the charts (though I like The Carpenters FROWN SMILEY). Nirvana came to kill Mr. Big and New Kids. If rock is dead, it isn't because of teenybopper shit like Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, it's because of insincerely edgy shit like Jimmy Eat World and Slipknot, or that new U2 garbage. It must be hard for today's teenagers to sort through all the fake rock to find the real stuff. I think that's part of why all the bands we liked as teenagers have been able to resume their fallow careers so easily... Weezer and The Pixies were the only bands like themselves when they were out the first time, so it was easy for people to assess them and whether their music had any resonance. Nowadays, for every one good band there's ten million shitty bands that sound just like it except suckier... and all those bands' music are equally exposed. Anyways, back on point: it's possible that some kid will hear Lindsay Lohan's record and be so disgusted that he decides to make music that doesn't suck, so it's productive in a way.[/quote] Sadly I don't think the "music industry" (OOOOOOOO) will be able to pull out of this one. A few years ago, music reached the bottom of the barrel. Only now has it begun to change, to something even worse.[/quote]
