So I was listening to the radio and I have to ask you all. Is this Dovey Bundles singer really popular? Usually I think all music has a message and is important, but that's absolute rubbish.

How is this song "Lightningbugs" even charting? It's the same midi loop over and over again in Fruity Loops.

I think it's a nice song.

[elkabonging]

Really? It is really just...I hate to say, but bad. Everything that's wrong with pop.

[maidenofred]

Ever hear of the fact that music is subjective kiddo?

Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean other people can't.

[There's a subtle "Don't pick on Miku" vibe going on here too but it's easy to miss.]

Let me guess, you're one of those hard core "Pop isn't music" types or something aren't you?

[elkabonging]

Music is subjective, yes, but you can't throw value judgments away, I think.

[Doesn't really get the problem, as is a part of a band that is extremely vocal in it's trashing of pop musicians.]

No, actually. Our last two albums have definitely been pop. But pop doesn't mean throwing away artistry for safeness and being catchy.

[maidenofred]

Not everyone has the same value you do. You just have to learn to accept that and move on when it turns out your opinion isn't a popular one.

[Yeah, this should be fun considering who Meiko is.]

It's some little girl making cute music because she likes it. Save the meta for the deep meaningful stuff you probably adore or something.

[There's a pause, but yes Meiko is going to go there.]

Professionally jealous about how much plays she's getting?

[elkabonging]

I'll stand by my opinion.

You're saying she's little, so she can't be criticized? Excuse my saying so, but I think that's not right or fair. She's in the industry, so she knows what she's in for.

Actually, no. Sad for the music industry though.

[maidenofred]

Never said you had to change it.

No, I'm saying that she's still growing as who she is as a performer. I wasn't exactly at my best when I first hit the music scene either after all.

You hard core types are always so disparaging and stuff. You really should learn to relax a little or something. Being so sad, depressed, or mad over the state of the music industry can't be healthy you know.

What's wrong with it? It's a cute song.
