This is nothing to do with trading, but I've been meaning to make this post on Miley Cyrus for a few weeks now. Angry grandpa must have been reading my mind and got there before me, but now I'll have my say. When I saw this video for Miley Cyrus' new song "we can't stop" it became my second most hated song of all time behind "call me maybe". You're thinking "crap music is everywhere, so what?" This is different and I'll explain why later, but first, watch this video if you haven't seen it already. You hear this shit once and it feels like the hundredth time. A party song that is depressing. Think about that... These days they make party songs that actually sound a bit somber and shit. I don't mind party music. 50 cent is not a great rapper, but when "in da club" plays in a club you feel like a king. The beat inspires great visions. This? You can't get more generic than this. It's even got one of the most over used lines in music-"hands in the air like we don't care". It's like a fuckin' parody it's that bad. I mean.......sheeeeit. Clown lyrics, clown facial expressions, clown twerking, hoe behavior, talks about haters while being serious as opposed to trolling, it's got all the ingredients to make a successful single these days, so in that sense it's nothing we haven't seen before but...
Miley Cyrus wasn't always like this. She used to sing country songs. This is actually a nice cover version of "you're gonna make me lonesome when you go" by Bob Dylan. In fact, I like it better than the original.
Then what happened? She started off by transforming her healthy looking, curvy physique into a twig. She done replaced her long hair with a ghastly looking pixie cut. I mean, I mean...

and finally she done completed the new image by coming out with this horrendous track "we can't stop". I get it, she's grow up now-good girl gone bad and all that, but this is fucked up. Joke music has always been around but now it's more mainstream, and Cyrus of all people putting out this song represents the decline in American culture. That's why this piece of crap is different to all the other pieces of crap. Decline in style, and music. America went from Sheryl Crow to Kesha. It's not just pop music. Rnb, rap, and country and western are all dead, but it took over a decade for this cluster fuck to happen. Miley Cyrus done managed it in a couple of years. In a couple of years she done ruined her physique, her hair and her music. Now she's cool. From Hannah Montana to a fool who fails at twerking. It's like she's a microcosm of America from the late 90's until now. Maybe this will make her more successful. In fact I'm pretty sure it will do, but she was mainstream anyway. It's not like she was struggling.
She's too far gone now anyway. You cross that line and you can't go back. Before I end this post I did mention Carly Rae Jepsen earlier. I mean the fringe pisses me off on it's own but who the fuck says "call me maybe"? Even this Cyrus track can't top that joke.
I'm done.
