SMM : What trends in music bother you?
Magalidelarosa ; I think that technology has made it so that everyone can be an artist. Sometimes I listen to music or hear people and I can't believe what I am hearing.Something that really drives me crazy is an artist covering a classic tune and it turning out just awful. I think that some are achieved very well,but others just lack respect for the original artist. I think that maybe its time for everybody to step it up and not be lazy about music, myself included.I saw this video recently that made me feel sad. They were interviewing people not much younger than I am that didn't know some of the biggest artist of our time.
Maybe we need to introduce more music appreciation in our schools. That is a class that would have been great to take when I was in school.
