Wherefore Art Thou

AITOOW thinks that millenials don't seem to have (profess to have) the same attitude towards artistic appropriation that they have towards cultural? Even though it often is that too. I just heard the first listenable song produced in 2017. Despacito may be the worst Song of Summer ever.

This song may be called - Everything Now by Arcade Fire. I didn't look it up. That was the most repeated refrain. I liked it (it seems) because it sounds alot like Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You" from Saturday Night Fever and that is a good song. I'll ask once again how a generation of sport-phobic Glee-ers with access to every piece of art every produced can be so artistically naive and impotent. Is it because they rush through everything? Is it a lack of work ethic? Is it a lack of focus? A lack of pride? Is it the cut and paste culture they go through school with? They are just the worst artists since Medieval times. It was bad enough when it mainly affected hip hop. Now it's pervasive. Maybe they should just stop producing and just DJ and mash up the real art?

Here's an ironic cut and paste for the M Gen.

I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, uh-ho, oh oh oh

Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it up
So easily
To you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I… Full lyrics on Google Play Music
