Greetings DS!

Does anyone else here notice or get annoyed by constant clichés in Music? I find sometimes that I really get sick of them after a while.:yawn::sleep:

Here's a couple to get the ball rolling;

''Baby'': Here's a fun drinking game! Take a shot of pure vodka every time Britney sings ''Baby'' on her new record! You'll be under the table in no time at all! This is particularly common in Pop and Rock.

Swearing In Hip-Hop: Yes, I understand the expression of feeling and emotion, and sometimes that is Anger or pure Raunchiness. But listening to a Lil' Wayne or Eminem song can sometimes just be painful, with some completely unneccessary expletives there. It only makes the stereotype of Hip-Hop worse in my eyes.

I don't mind rap, in fact I'm a big fan of the likes of Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Tinie Tempah - but the new trend in having a rapper in every single song is becoming tiresome.

Adding a rapper to your song usually does not make it any better. JLS, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Jessie J and Taio Cruz - I'm looking at you here.

Mentioning the DJ.

Makes a song lose about 50% originality, instantly.

If there's talk about dancefloors/general club antics as well, it is officially generic and most likely, crap.

Cripes a drinking game based on that could lead to an emergency as NHS hospitals are unable to cope with the sheer volume of stomach pumping operations.

I quite like the idea of music related drinking games. Such as:

Drink every time Morrisey makes that chewbaca noise in a song.

Or take a swig every time Madonna makes a sex noise on Erotica.

Punch yourself whenever Justin Bieber sings in a high voice. You'll be dead by the end of one track.

Drink everytime Gaga wants doesn't want you to do something

"Don't call my name."
"Don't be a drag"
"Don't want a kiss"
"Don't want a touch"

A rapper saying his name and how great he is. And Brett Anderson doing that 'Ah-how!' thing he does.

"Metal is just noise"

Arguably the most ignorant musical statement anyone can utter.

It's funny that because they're is a genre of music called noise, which is more your bands like Shellac.

A little young to be thinking about drinking shots of pure vodka aren't you Mr. Fahrenheit?

I thought of two right clichés yesterday and now I've forgotten them.
They were along the lines of "Hands in the air like you just don't care" type lyrics.

Rappers ruining decent R&B songs

songs where the subject matter is getting ready to go to a club, going to a club, seeing a girl you like in a club, telling the girl all the sexual things you want to do with her after the club, engaging in said sexual activity after the club

Indie bands that declare themselves the greatest band since Oasis then you listen to their album and its the most forgettable uninspiring music you could ever hope to hear

female artists attempting to outdo eachother on who can look like the most convincing prostitute Jessie J, Rihanna, Kesha, i'm looking at you

pointless albums full of covers, ronan keating, if i wanted to listen to burt bacharach i'd listen to burt bacharach (not that i want to listen to burt bacharach

people working with the same producers using the same tired formulas, katy perry's "california gurls is just a rehashed version of kesha's "tik tok"

journalism - publications like nme and the guardian hyping up any old new band/artist because they feel the need to be responsible for some sort o musical revolution and when that band fades away so does those publications support for the band in question

when established artist big up up and coming artists and say that they are a "big fan" or "want to work with them" all seems a bit fake and trying to be down with the kids.

collaborations for the sake of collaborations

Again, those pesky rapper fellas mentioning how great various parts of their er.. lady friends body are. e.g
'You know ma gurl she got dat ass like a cart-horse..' Or words to that effect.
