Uhhhh does Welle:Erdball count?

Ok

I don't care for the guy himself that much
But the music's alright I guess

It's not frowned upon, but the majority of chiptune artists release their music for free.
Certainly VGM, but that doesn't mean it can't be chiptune. I respect people who write chiptune that fits in a game.

Owl City

I been obsessed with this guy for a while now. Everytime I listen to him it make me wanna run home, boot my life savings up and write 'til my arms drop off. He has the only album in my library that every track has 5 stars. The live performances are a bit of a lol but in terms of songwriting and production it blows me away.

What you guys think about it?

Everyone whines about the lyrics. He's an awesome lyricist. He just uses fuck loads of metaphors. That song is about a camping trip where he reflects on the stars in the sky and the nature around him. "I get a thousand hugs, from ten thousand lighting bugs, as they try to teach me how to dance". He's explaining how the fireflies move and how they are attracted to him/stick to him.

I like quite like the vocal effects. A subtle auto-tune. I think the fact that auto-tune has been murdered by overuse doesn't help it. At least he doesn't use auto-tune live though :]

Whiney emo crap is all the depressive bullshit about how shit the writers life is and how emotional they are. Owl City grabs that ideas and says "FUCK YOU! I'm gonna write songs that make people happy!"

I get the whole vocals thing, I like them but I see why people don't.

Emotional lyrics are overrated :]

On a side note: I don't think this guy would get half as much hate if he wasn't popular. People are afraid of pop music.

I don't dought that people like Metro Station or Kei$ha get just as much hate despite the fact that they're amazing songwriters and musically talented enough get number ones.

Isn't pop music tailored to not be boring.

EITHER WAY.

I like pop music :] I like underground music :] I like old music, new music, weird music. In fact I'm yet to find a style of music I don't like. I manage to see what others see in every genre I've ever heard. When I listen to pop music I listen to it because it's catchy stays in your head and on the rare occasion the songwriting or production will just inspire me, this is because it's been through such a rigorous weeding-out process that record labels perform that it simply has to amaze.

I'm pretty damn sure I'm not not a thoughtless drone and i seem to find something in it.
That's something I always hated about any underground music scene. People are naive and elitist, they revel in being underground and love the fact that few people share there passion. This gives them a very discriminative look at anything popular. I'm pretty sure if Henry Homesweet or Sabrepulse hit the charts tomorrow, they would be labeled as sellouts and there popularity here would instantly drop. The majority of musicians make music to be popular, they want as many people to like and enjoy it as possible. You shouldn't hate them if they succeed.

I realize I'm making a pretty harsh statement and most of you have said how yo

Oh forget it...

We should really get a xanga

We are all to blame
