The BBC has a weekly arts programme on British TV. Every week there is a section devoted to 'popular music'. The other week a succession of youths bellowed incomprehensible words into microphones whilst other youths thrashed electric guitars and drum kits or, occasionally, keyboards. This went on for a bit and then the presenter announced a new, 'breakthrough band'. This time a youth bellowed incomprehensible words into a microphone whilst other youths thrashed... For the life of me, I couldn't discern any difference between the 'breakthroughs' and their predecessors.
The other week I went on holiday to Slovenia. I switched on the TV in my hotel room and witnessed a youth bellowing what may have been English (although largely incomprehensible) words into a microphone whilst other youths...well, you get the picture!
I believe that our (and many other people's) culture has been infected by a sort of plague called 'rock music'. This virulent disease has infected everything and is turning what is left of that culture into a sort of featureless, meaningless, albeit noisy, mush. It's no wonder no one sings any more!!
