There are certain music genres that I believe are too shit for explanation, and nothing anyone says to me will make me see why they are attractive or appealing. That said, I don't have to see why they are appealing for someone else to like them, nor does it bother me or hinder my musical experiences that they do exist.
Some event such as the worst musical event or invention ever would have to affect me regardless. I can't really think of anything that has done that, purely because real, honest music will always exist and there will always be music that is untouched by the media and corporate sculpters.
I'm talking 'bout the real stuff, not these losers like Superfunk, I'm talking Prince, George clinton, James Brown, The Time etc.
They rock!

These are some of the worse things that happened to music in my opinion....
The Deaths of...
Kurt Cobain
Freddie Mercury
Bradley Nowell
Layne Staley
Jim Morrison
Randy Rhodes
Easy E
The Breakups or disbanding of...
The Smashing Pumpkins (although I know they are supposedlly Working on a new album....But I doubt it'll be the same..)
Guns N' Roses
Also Replacing David Lee Roth with Hagar...Im not even a Van Halen Fan, I just think Sammy Hagar is a Deuche bag.
Oh yes one more thing....File Sharing. go buy the damn CD.
Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, I love Minor Threat, I love Fugazi. But he has inadvertantly given us three of the worst things to happen to the music scene.
a.Straight Edge
b.Henry Rollins in Black Flag
c.Emo

That makes about as much sense as a solar powered flashlight.
Firstly, straight edge has no negative effect on the music world, at all. None whatsoever. Unless of course you're one of these "I'm a real man" morons who feels that in order to be credible, you have to drink and be out of your head on drugs. Straight edge has has no negative effect on music.
Henry Rollins era Black Flag remain one of the most pioneering bands IN punk.
As for the emo genre. Ian MacKaye gave us original emo, the emo that was an offshoot of punk, the emo that comprised of Minor Threat, Jawbreaker, Fugazi, Rites of Spring. It lived and died with those bands. He's not responsible for what bands call themselves emo, or what MySpace kids decide to call emo.
after trying and failing to explain why emo(tional hardcore punk) isnt bad countless times i just accepted that some people are inherently ignorant, and i should just give up.

On the dot! The mainstream audience draws an opinion on a certain era of music by judging what the media feed to them, while that is only a fraction of what is going on for real.
MTV says 'Jump' and too many ask 'How high?'
The only good Black Flag was the version with Keith Morris and from my experience, straight edge kids are mostly severely violent assholes
