Umm...
NEW DISTRESSING TREND!
Sexual exploitation of women in videos. And I know this isn't new at all, but it's massively bothering me. Specifically, Robin Thicke's shitbrick song that can be summed up by "faux-funk bass and tits". Talking about "tearing ass" is just beautiful.
Also Miley Cyrus's new song. She basically sucks off a sledgehammer and when not naked looks like Ripley when she exits the cyro-chamber. The lyric "You wreck me", with this visualisation of the singer, makes it obvious she's not just talking about her emotions. Cleverly planned "adulthood" PR that has started with the VMAs and shows no signs of stopping.
kyomi:
I knew I was going to get that comment as soon as I mentioned those bands, I'm not quite sure why though. They seem pretty cool to me... Although the new LP stuff is mostly garbage and a lot of the stuff LB did after chocolate starfish was pretty good too.
That Miley Cyrus bit I think is like law for Disney child stars... go for a bit and act like you're normal and then dive off the deep end.

Grognard:
I hate Disney pop stars and 'manufactured' rock bands.
I need me some Gershwin and Tchiachovsky (spelled wrong, I know)
Lupercal:
I don't know, I try not to be a music snob but I wouldn't put those bands under 'rock'. Depends on your age too, I'm pretty sure everyone has listened to Hybrid Theory at least once.
Yeah, the Disney tweens are sexualised, so it shouldn't be a surprise by now. It's still pretty gross, though.
