Herpes Music

Is it just me, or has music declined recently? I'm not even sure what I mean by recently. I just know that I tend not to turn on the radio now if I can help it, unless it's some form of oldies station. I used to enjoy finding new music on the radio.

But let's face it. We're addicted to Herpes Music. You know what I'm talking about. The sound that's catchy, but it's crap. Just a heaping pile of hot dung. But you find yourself singing and bouncing along anyway.

In case you're having trouble understanding what I mean (or are in a severe state of denial about how terrible your taste in music really is), I'll help you out. Below I've provided a list of some current Herpes Music:

1. Ke$ha - ANYTHING she does. Tik Tok, Blow, We R Who We R, Dinosaur (We won't even talk about her stage name. A dollar sign. Really?)
2. Katy Perry - Extraterrestrial, California Gurls, Peacock
3. Kanye West - Stronger
4. Lady Gaga - Monster (What does this song even mean??)
5. Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Diddy/Prince? - Coming Home

I just sort of generally despise Kanye. Not sure if it's that I find his music offensive and talentless or that he generally seems like a drunken douche, but the idea of him just makes my skin crawl. I promise I wouldn't sleep with him if he begged me. The chance that he could maybe possibly impregnate me is just too much.

But with the others, I really enjoy the music. I work out to it. I chair dance to it at work. I drive with it on loudly, "singing" along. (I put singing in quotes because I'm quite certain what I do does not qualify as singing under any circumstances.

I know that these people don't represent ALL new music. They just seem to be the most popular and what's on the radio when I do turn it on. I can sort of feel my IQ dropping as I bop along.

Of course, when we combine the music with reality TV, I'm pretty sure that we'll be crawling around on our knuckles before too long.
