Kanye West Is An Idiot
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about or seen the video footage of Kanye West jumping on the stage during the 2009 MTV video awards in the middle of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
Taylor is no idol of mine, and I think the MTV video awards are a waste of time, but really - it was her big moment. As a society, has all respect and decorum been forgotten about? Seems that way, just take a look at the lyrics of a few Kanye West songs. Having already done that myself, and ruined my appetite for the day, I'm not sure why I would expect anything less from him.
This leads me on to another point - why does pop music have to be so freakin' lifeless? I mean, everything that's out there is lacking in substance. Frankly, it's all crap. I just can't stand to listen to it anymore. It's an unfortunate reflection on us when we are mostly aware of how shallow it all is, but we just accept it anyway. All the majority want is soulless, background music and quick pop psychology fixes until the end of their days.
Yet that's another tangent altogether, so let's get back to Kanye the moronic egomaniac. Should we expect better? No. As long as we reward idiocy with airplay, youtube clips and massive publicity, more of the same can be expected. Fame is sought after at all costs even if it's at the expense of someone, anyone (or everyone) else. Why should we even care what these people say, sing or think about? Do they have any qualifications that would make me want to value their opinion?
I know what you're thinking - who cares what I say or do? Who I am to be giving my opinion?? Well, any ideas that present themselves in my little brain tend to find themselves emerging as a rant or rave - even if I'm not particularly qualified to comment on the issue.
I guess I should try writing pop music...
