Quite simple...insofar as I have heard it (and I'll change the definition
to post-*1990*, not post-1950...?!) it sounds like...well...faeces...!
Keep in mind that the (supposed, anyway) point of "Punk Rock" was
originally a message thrown at Margaret Thatcher...who had slashed
welfare and unemployment benefits, at the request of her corporate
masters...! The punk-rock reply was, "If we have to support ourselves
with no help, we'll try playing music, even though we're really
bad at it...!"
Okeh...that said, 1950-1955 represents a nadir of popular music
in North America...an era which gave us such unforgettable tunes
as "Doggie In the Window"..."Oh, Mein Papa"..."That's Amore"...
"Tennessee Waltz"...et al...?!
And...can ANYBODY out there in Radio-Land name a memorable
popular song and/or recording of the 1992-2007 period...AND...
hum the tune back to me in identifiable form...?!
(reciting rap "lyrics" does NOT count...?!)
