Anyone else feel suicidal after reading the comments on pop music videos?

Anyone else feel suicidal after reading the comments on pop music videos?
So I'm currently listening to Rank 1 - 7 Instead of 8 (a beautiful uplifting trance song) in a 40 minute mix I just uploaded to YouTube. So anyway, I then went on the most viewed list to find Will I Am ft Britney Spears - Scream and Shout. Now I can tell you, I wasn't expecting much, but I can tell you the song really surprised me. I expected it to be bad, but I can safely say it's probably the worst song I ever heard. It's got a simple electro-house beat that I could produce in FL Studio. Some house music can be good (ie progressive house like Deadmau5 - Strobe being a well know example), but this is a crap pop/electro/house fusion that has been out together in 10 minutes. Producing high quality sounds on a computer is difficult, but even I could do this. So anyway, rant over as I'm usually not an elitist as I take the view that complexity/production method doesn't matter, as long as it sounds good. Now let's talk about the vocals. It's just Britney Spears saying in "...in the club...turn this shit up...all eyes on us". The lyrics are ridiculous as in all pop songs.

The worst thing is that if you read the comments people are saying stuff like:

"4 million views go britney"
"number 1 already"
"best song of the year"
"britney is so inspirational"
"britney is the best!"
"I love vevo!"
"this is true music"

Don't even get me started on the people that then defend her when people criticise her song.

Now you may say "it doesn't affect you, so don't worry" and I agree, but I geneuinely feel sorry for these people (90% of teenagers) that go through their life listening to this. They may 'like' this music, but they will NEVER LIVE music. It really saddens me. I think most of us can probably agree that music is topped only by sex, which is why it really bothers me that these people don't expand their horizons.

So do you ever find yourself contemplating suicide when you hear crap like this?

Haha yes!!

Heres something that REALLY frustraded me today:

I was on the youtube video for wish you were here by pink floyd (love that song) and as i was listening to it, i was reading the comments. One retard said:
"omg who is this band, and why did they copy ed sheeran! Ed sheerans original is way better"
Uuuuurrrrg dumbass Preteenage girls think wish you were here is by ed sheeran cause he sang it at the olympics!!!

I am now very frustraded that ed sheeran fans actually think ed sheeran wrote that song. Everyone that has a brain knows thats pink floyd. Ed sheeran could never write a song that good.

it truly saddens me when i see people idolizing these 'artists' in any way. it makes me feel like human advancement at least in art and creativeness is coming to a screeching halt as all ideas are only rehashes or remixes of other, often more successful artists. the fact that there are so many (rapper) featuring (singer) and (other rapper) tracks out there is a clear indication of the absence of modern creativity. lyric wise... do i need say anything? there are no lyircs worth listening to in most cases. the lyrics should tell a stroy about what the artist was feeling, going through, thinking about when they were inspired to write the song.

when you have an entire genre based only on
"Lets get WASTEEEEDD!!!" or other slightly more elaborate versions of that, your bound to mainly attract the idiotic, usually uneducated or close minded philistines who have no understanding of how music even works (dumb bitch in class literally didn't know how a stringed instrument worked claiming that the computer {amp} made certain sounds when certain keys were pressed) or that the very fabric of the universe is vibration. they are so caught up in there redundant self obsessed scenes that they have no will to broaden their minds or question the meaning, purpose, mindset, structure, evoked emotions, influences, style, or skill of any of the so called 'music' that they put in the play-list seeing music as just another character trait or another like on facebook.

in general my generation has forgotten, or downright rejected, that music is, at its very bass, a musical poem meant to evoke strong emotion, be that sorrow, anguish, anger, madness, euphoria, nostalgia, bitterness, brotherhood, power, regret, relaxation, etc. but most importantly it is meant to evoke all emotions, sending the listener on a journey of highs and lows, not just who can make the "sickest drop" or "dopest track" or (ragging on my musical preference) "most brutal riff". when it all comes down to it you should never like a band or group or artist because they are liked by all, but only if they are liked by you.
