What Makes a Song Enoyable

So many songs are coming out today, and if I’m being completely honest, I think most of it is complete garbage. Like what the heck happened? I’ll tell you what happened, this generation happened. We are made up of stupid, uncreative jack wagons that can’t make a good song to save their lives. I don’t want to be older and turn on the radio for my kids and hear a song come on about making it rain on a group of strippers! I want to show them that my age of music was the best that there ever was; but I won’t be able to do that. Not unless we get our act together. My taste in music is very picky; but you’ll see, it is pretty awesome.

When I look for music it has to meet three qualities, Meaning, beat, and words. If a song doesn’t have a good meaning and it has good words and beat, then it will be fine. If a song is lacking the other two qualities, then most likely it the equivalent to dog crap after it accidentally ate an entire Mexican buffet. You can’t say that a song is good if you are listening to it and hear that it is just gibberish (Iggy Azalea). You also can’t say it is good if the beat sounds like my dog farting. But when I listen to music, I like knowing that there is a good meaning behind it. It just makes me like that song even more. Meaning gives songs reason. I want to be able to connect to a song on a personal level. Songs make me feel good, and when they can do that, you know you’ll be hearing that song if you are around me.

            Trust me when I say this, I have been looking for good music to come out. So far, all is for naught. Out of the hundreds of songs that have come out this year that my generation listens to, I’ve found like two. That’s why I have turned to my parent’s era of music and my parents’ generation of music. The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s have some amazing songs. Hotel California, stairway to heaven, more than a feeling, are all very good examples of this. I have also seen that today’s rock is pretty good too. I don’t count it as my generation’s music though. I say this because most people my age don’t listening to the Offspring or Breaking Benjamin.

            I will continue my search for good music. I am just hoping that one day I can tell my kids that music that came out when I was their age was amazing.
