No, what's weak is YOU driving home the "in-your-opinion" fact that "we
'youngsters' got ahold of computers and started making weak music". Are you
saying that using a computer to produce or sequence music = crap? Because
that was the subject, Omar. More pointedly...
No one said that you have to "live according to your (our) pop-cultural
rules"...now you're just getting wacky. I mean that it's weak to assume
that more cruddy or 'less-than-quality' music is being made now because
computers are actively being used more-and-more to produce and sequence said
music. Any dumbass can go get a Casio SK5 and a make a gay song. So why
don't calm your jets there, sparky.
To summarize: In response to your last statement ("Go analyze a statement
from Elvis, u'd be closer to the mark"),
analyze these nuts.

.......looks like you caught more than a worm.........
I hate to burst your bubble but where did he go wrong in those statements.
Fact is that since many of you youngsters got a hold
of computers---U now make weak music(and I would hold
that the output of weak releases to quality/substantive
releases has sharply increased since that time). Look in the mirror and
repeat
the words denial my friend.............:)
Here's what's weak, some gooney-nerds trying to analyze a statement
by a Giant thats put out some good music over time and runs
a huge record label. Which one of you R doing that? And how long have you
been doing it? Besides, WE dont live according to your pop-cultural
rules and all those shibboleths dervied therefrom.(How can a Mexican analyze
Chinese culture?.......makes no cultural sense..)..like your comments,
biased!
Go analyze a statement from Elvis, u'd be closer to the mark....

I agree...that IS pretty weak.
Boring music is boring music. It doesn't matter if someone turns it out on
a computer, on a hardware sequencer or on a damn washboard with silver
spoons. Crappy music is crappy music...

Seriously, that is probably the worst thing I've ever heard on the
subject.
quoted 1 line it's not art any more

typical, neophyte, kneejerk thing to say.
