Klezmer. I'm so sick of hearing klezmer in songs. Yeah, we get it, Kanye and Nicki Minaj have both transformed popular music through their brilliant use of klezmer, but can we just stop? Please? I swear if I hear another club track built around a klezmer beat on the radio I am going to scream.

Dear black people: Please stop rapping about Ireland, and how you want to return to your Irish homeland, and the rolling green hills of Ireland. Also, can we just stop having pennywhistle in hip-hop? Thanks.

I'm not even fakeposting here, whenever I hear current top 40 country music it just sounds like a robot coldly saying offensive things about poor white people over variations on the Meow Mix song.

I may have already stated this in another thread, but I work in a retail store by some music displays and some of this poo poo is rancid. Lady Antebellum makes Nicki Minaj look like Mozart.



edit: And just so no one accuses me of just hating country, I'm fine with like Kenny Rogers or Johnny Cash, or the Convoy dude, and those bands that are just a dude going apeshit on a violin.

To the musician driving the white Acura: Your lights are on. Also, please stop making songs about how the Bitterroot Mountains are beautiful and the Rockies are overrated. This is not a rivalry that is relevant to most of America, and the batteries in your car are going to die. Please handle these two situations.
