I ask myself: Why do I listen to rock music?
The only answer is that it makes you feel alive,like you're part of something much bigger.
In the words of Jared Leto,one of my idols - "This is cult."
How true that is.
In my school,most people listen to hip-hop artists like Pitbull and Lady Gaga.
No offense to them,but their music is fake......you cannot compare them to people in black shirts and mascara grinding riffs on a black guitar in front 200,000 odd screaming fans.
Hip-Hop is just a singer and someone working a computer.
Even a Pitbull can do that.(Get it?)
The sound of rock music - Face melting solo's,brilliant bass runs,drums being pounded on and a singer belting out verses and sounding quite like a wolf.
To me,thats why is listen to rock....the live shows that don't sound like nursery rhymes,the moshpits,headbanging and crowd waves.
You understand rock.
And it understands you.
There is a song for all your emotions,every moment of your rollercoaster like life.....you can even relate to the lyrics.
Just imagine yourself sitting on the floor,looking out the window with a slow,depressing,almost suicidal rock song playing.
Now imagine yourself listening to Ke$ha.
It just doesn't feel right.
My Chemical Romance's singer - Gerard Way once said -"This is the best time to listen to rock, because it isn't 'cool'."
How right can he be.
He has captured the views of a generation of musically developed people in a single quote..........most people don't even try...they just listen to 'popular' music,blinding themselves to the melodic guitar riffs,subtle technicalities and powerful lyrics of 'unpopular' music.
The songwriting skills of Rock artists often capture the views of generations,and also make WAY more sense than - "No he can't read my poker face."
Um....yeah...so this is my first blog as a 13 year old who has an impeccable taste in music.

Muhahaha...Most of us turned to Rock when we were bored of the insipid and factory line up lyrics of pop music. Pop music may have its moments but it can't compare to the almost menacing glee I feel when a favourite riff comes on! Or the depths of gloom (which is almost make one alive) that one feels when listening to the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you found your taste in music and aren't afraid to express it and that too so articulately. Well done boy!!!
Unbelievable thoughts put in this blog by 13 year old grand-nephew, Arnav. Even I am tempted to listen through those noises to make some sense so eloquently described here and following blog.
ReplyDeleteOh yes you do!! I couldn't agree with your thoughts/words more...you have just verbalised what all we music lovers feel!
ReplyDeleteWay to go !!!
