of course this is exaggerated. i don't feel this much hate towards the music industry. it just bothers me so much how many musicians are putting out the same basic bullcrap, and getting away with it.

so many songs now are generic happy melody or generic sad melody, with the lyrics explaining the rest to you. it's an insult to those who can use nothing but melody to portray emotion.

to my musicians, i say this: the lyrics are just the cherry on top. if you have a basic, boring melody, the cherry won't fix that. because the ice cream itsself is still a boring mess.

you're making music. not poetry.
