The internet's busiest music nerd

Today, I watched a YouTube video about artists who ripped off other artist's songs. All of the bands that were accused of stealing were all bands that I really enjoy. FML

Now you can double the number of bands you like.

I guess creativity isn't their strong suit?

This is how all art works; nothing to get your panties in twist over.

Think of it like this. Who actually writes their own music these days anyway?

Real artists do. Not pop garbage artists.

Most rock bands, pretty much ALL indie artists, a few pop artists, the list goes on.

If you're referring to pop, then yes. But I think it's unfair to say that all don't. Many, many other genres write their own music.

I'm not sure what type of music you're listening to or what artists or whatever but I know the bands I listen to write their own original material. If you go to my profile and check out the bands (not hip hop artists) that I posted as my favorite bands currently, all of their material is original, not copied off others. Then again none of the bands I listen to are bands that you would probably ever hear on the radio lol and I'm not saying this to say I listen to better music or anything, just stating that not all musicians do that stuff.

Lol, 56, no offense, because I do enjoy those bands (especially OM&M), but those are metalcore bands, and with metalcore bands (AA especially) comes metalcore breakdowns. It's always the same one note palm mute chug that almost EVERY metalcore band uses, hardly original. I will admit though, AA's new album, From Death to Destiny, steers more towards normal metal and hard rock, rather than metalcore. There's only two or three songs I can think of on that album that have the typical breakdown.

A lot of people do but other artists like to write for other artists because they enjoy writing and in different genres and they think the song will suit them and not themselves and people buy the rights to the instrumental parts to the song or they could get done

Not ALLL indie bands do that's not true if anything it would be the other way around I would probably say

That just means you have twice as many bands to love!

Was this by chance the WatchMojo top 10 list? Because there were some good bands on that list like the Doors, CCR, The Rolling Stones etc

Doesn't matter, artists always sample or use older songs. Doesn't make it a bad thing unless the new version is just shite. I mean look at Buble, he's putting his own touch on tons of old songs doesn't make him a bad artist.

Even artists who are singer songwriters will often write with/for other artists. It's no bad thing though, many great hits aren't written by the singer

Does it even matter if you like the music?

They could be cover bands no?

I'm not entirely sure why, but when I read this I read 'songs' as 'thongs.' It created quite the mental image...

A random brain lisp does tend to pop up at the funniest of times.
