Modern Modern "Music"

I have thoroughly decided that the so called "modern hip hop" music, if you can call it that, is absolutely abominable. For the past few [as in four] days, I have been working on an experiment for my psychology class, in determining whether music and lyrics, as well as different genres of music, affect the content of dreams. Through this study, I have listened to the radio, particularly hip hop, for the previous two nights while I sleep. Also through this study, I have determined that the DJ working the late shift is lazy and plays the same playlist of songs every night, in the same order, versus new songs to make it random. The main songs played are "Dangerous" by Kardinal Offishall, "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis, "What About Now" by Daughtry, "One Step At A Time" by Jordan Sparks, "Paper Planes" by M.I.A., "American Boy" by Estelle featuring Kanye West, and "Disturbia" by Rhianna. Three out of the seven mentioned are actually decent, if you can handle the three primary chords in the same order, for three to five minutes. The rest are absolutely a mutated form of dry speech set to rhythm.
Not only have people become more accustomed to the same filtered down junk they like to call hip hop.
Today while cardioing, I was listening to the same station, simply because they play more techno with great beats for cardio than any other station in the entire valley. Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" played, and I happened to catch the last twenty seconds of it, and it was horrendous. The mere fact that he receives millions from morons who crave his "music" irritates me beyond belief. The DJ announced that he absolutely loved that song, and was asking for callers to call in and say whether they loved it or hated it, or were tepid towards it. People called in, and raved about the song, saying it was one of the best songs they've ever heard. Apparently they have no musical background, nor ever wish to have one. Then one idiot calls in and says "I'm sorry, I love the song so much, would it trouble you to play it again?" in a more asinine nomenclature of course. So what does the DJ do? He plays the song again. TWICE! IN THREE MINUTES! Now that's just sick. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I strongly suggest you listen to the song to form your own opinion, and then quickly agree with me about it.
This, along with the idiotic block scheduling for school has made this day one of the most retched days of the entire school year. However, I will say that I was able to hang with friends after school [due to missing my bus, even though it's a Wednesday], which made life a little better. Cheers.
