Trends

Its 5:30 in the morning and I'm already up, actually I woke up 4:30 and then I tried going to sleep but can't, and I thought of using my PC since I can't really sleep.

I remember two weeks back that I saw a bunch of guys here wearing punk shirts and "trasher ang porma", I remembered that before the rock bands dominated this country, and Hip hop became a trend those guys were also wearing those big jerseys, with "bling blings" and stuff. I just thought that they just wanted to be "IN" since rock music is the "IN" thing today.

Don't get me wrong I listen to Hip-Hop and I especially love Bone Thugs, N.W.A., Twista, Nelly, Eminem. I loved Hip Hop beacuse of the beat that makes you wanna bounce. And I love listening to Rock and Alternative because of the distorted guitar, the upbeat sound of drums. The only difference between them and me, I understood music in general not just because its the "IN" thing, it's because what these bands, rappers, songwriters make.

Take for example, Kami nAPO muna Album where most of the rock bands did a cover of the APO songs. And of course people loved I did too, but unfortunately these people only loved the Bands that covered the songs, not the one that created the songs... My father loved the APO, I remember when I was young my father owned 4 cassette tapes of APO (2 of them are only left! dammit!) and he would play it on our cassette player every morning, and after that I loved APO because of their music and the way they sung the songs, the blending of their voices. Up to now I'd rather prefer listening to the original than the tribute. It's not just the APO that I learned to love, my father owned a songhits with all the popular songs during the 60's, and he would play it on the guitar and sing it, I always listened to him paly those songs, and then there I met Beatles, Bee Gees, Chuck Berry, The Cascades, Herman's Hermits, Simon and Garfunkel etc.

It's just sad that people only loved Rock because it is the trend today...
