since we're being grumpy old men here, i recently wandered into a trap concert (as in trap music, not a concert that traps you or some shit).
fuck my life, was it bad. kids on stage, mumbling. couldn't understand jack shit, except for the chorus, and that was always, entirely and without exception, complete and utter crap. i felt the only reason this show was even done was so the teenagers on stage could get some attention. i mean one guy wore pink fluffy bunny slippers with ears and everything, on stage.
it's not art, it's not making a statement. i know someone will claim these kids are taking a stance against the established order by dressing unconventionally and creating unconventional music, but the damn thing would need some substance in order to achieve that. as it is, it's just cheap attention whoring by some teenage spastics. no message, nothing beyond showing off clothes and haircuts. the most they can come up with is songs about fucking, which i guess they think is really provocative and edgy. it probably is if you're 17.
this 69 bitch is a thousand times worse than that, though.
