MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING
I am so sick of watching chart shows and finding out rap, hip-hop and R&B are totally wearing over any good music. Record labels like Kill Rock Stars are putting out music with so much feeling and meaning, it makes me wanna die thinking people would rather watch some exposed women dancing to a song which says no less than: ‘I wanna have sex with you.’ I am nearly sure teenage suicide is encouraged by this music in the sense that if they are not beautiful like this music, says they have to be, they are nothing. Believe me, I know, because I have been put in the situation of not being a 'babe', but feminist vocalists like Kathleen Hanna have driven me far past this 'love is everything’ mode because, as horrible as it sounds, money is everything in modern society.
For all girls who are pinned on that guy who likes a total dumb waif just because she’s pretty or has big tits — get some self-esteem and find a guy who’s more interested in a chick with a good attitude. Remember, don’t overlook music you can relate to just because it’s not fashionable at the moment. Nikki, Papatoetoe.
