So...I was watching the Grammy's yesterday and I have to say, some of the music there was just...well...appalling. Im talking about things like Chris Brown's song and dance (and lets be real here, acid trip), Rhianna not even trying to lip sync, and I didnt make it much further than that. This new trend, of synthesized music, has me asking people who know much more than me (that is you) this stoner question. There is a TL
R at the bottom.
How is it that we can synthesize an art form such as music? Dont we lose that oh so important element of human emotions?
Chris brown sounded stale. Rhianna sounded monotone. Jesus christ these guys are supposed to be performers yet they cant even capture the human soul and stir up emotions in me like other art forms.
Can you imagine a painter saying "See this painting, it is great. I made a computer program that figured out the best brush strokes to use."
or a director "See this movie, it is great, everything is done by a computer program so we have no human interactions. Doesnt it strike your soul?"
No stoner director, it doesnt. In fact, it sounds cold, calculated, boring, and overall an ugly mess. Why you people make millions of dollars is beyond me. You guys putting out albums have ruined this country!
Anyhow, rant over, what are your thoughs? Is synthesized music a good or a bad thing in the industry and why?

R-then this thread asks a question that you cant comprehend. Thank you and have a great day.
