For the Love of Music

Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at popular, mainstream music and argues that a lot of what is heard on the radio could be considered 'air pollution'. The paper argues that taste in music is subjective and true music lovers will take the time to understand what good music entails, and strive to keep the sense of individuality and creativity that is so rare these days.

From the Paper:

"Mainstream hip-hop today bases itself on extravagant videos and concerts containing designer clothing, expensive cars, countless 'hos,' ridiculously large pieces of jewelry (which they call 'bling-bling'), and hugely inflated egos. The only goal is to go platinum, fifty times over, and be as rich and famous as possible. Much of today's hip-hop only reflects the materialistic, egotistical, and greedy producers behind the actual talent, if there is any talent at all. "
