Report on Reports on CMJ Bands: I'm callin yall bitches out

guess what? Most bands fucking suck. Most bands are talentless hacks that dont care about music as much as being in a band. They don't realize they are embarassing themselves by posing as a good band and going through what they think the motions of a good band are when really they suck. Being in a good/original band is hard. Its easier to copy other people. And marketing is completely not related to that at all. So what you get is effective marketers/local NYC bands that arent that good playing before an increasingly educated audience. You get people going to these shows wondering "why the fuck do all these bands have trumpets? that cant be random can it? Do you think these idiots think trumpet is the fast track to being the next Arcade Fire? Does anyone still like Arcade Fire?"

I think we are going to get a correction soon. As in, the market will correct itself like a stock market, only instead of stocks rebounding, its the level of quality in bands that is going to have to go back up. The audience is getting too smart for shit bands. They will hit a wall. Its like Eminem said: "you only get one shot" and right now we are watching an entire wave of shit bands blowing their one shot cause they dont have the fucking chops and all their songs blow (and they think that because they figured out a way to get people to their shows that means they are good). Shit rises to the surface, and music lovers are going to keep digging, because its never been easier.

Heres my advice to you if you are in a shitty band: it doesnt matter if people come see you, because you suck. Take a couple years to go practice and LISTEN TO SOME FUCKING GOOD MUSIC before you find a bigger stage to fucking embarrass yourself on.

uuh...
But yeah, I wasnt there, thats just what I read :P
