Music Intervention

So I got a neighbor downstairs who enjoys the ruggedness of "The Way I Are" by Timbaland. He plays it on average of 4 times a week so I can hear the lame disco basslines in this song a lot. I'm tempted to tell him unless he's a 21 yo white girl getting ready to go to the club, he shouldn't be playing this. As well as the fact it's wack and old. Am I being a dick? Does this song bring it and I just don't know?

    When people ask me why i'm such a music nazi I just tell them it's because I have good taste.

    once again, I ask, why is the shelf life so short for "clurb" music? I dont understand liking some music, then not liking it because it is "old by now"...doesnt that mean it was shit to begin with? How does and song go from good to bad from just the passing of time? I dont get it.

    You should be questioning the mentality of the people that make statements like this, rather than the music itself--that song was good six months ago, and it's good now.

    No. It was garbage then, and it's garbage now. More than anything else, to me, that song is music for girls (and no, I'm not questioning anyone's manhood). Regardless of what the trendsetteur has to say, it ain't good.

    The more interesting question is, why is club music so disposable? I equate this song to an aural USA Today, use for a quick need of some sort, then dispose of for something newer and/or better.

    That's only a condemnation if you think women have fundamentally worse taste in music than men--which I don't.

    I like girls and I guess I like music for girls.

    Thinking music is garbage and music being girlie are 2 separate notions which I did not combine together. I think just as many girls have good and bad taste in music as guys do.

    surely that statement isn't questioning the music, it is questioning the people who like and then don't like, just as you suggest.

    Well, re-read my post: I didn't speculate on which of the two questions he was asking, although I will now say that based on his previous posts, I would guess it to be the former.

    And the ones with good taste are the ones that listen to manly music?

    I don't hate the song, but apart from some catchy production tricks (from danjahands?) it doesn't actually say much. "The Way I Are" probably won't be remembered for it's deep story or anything.

    Why is club music disposable? I think because it's made to be consumed straight away, rather than being digested. If you design something to get big reactions the first time someone hears something, you can't expect them to do much once they've heard it a 1000 times. Maybe you could burn him some cd's and suggest he bumps them?
