I AM NOT INTO BOY BANDS

I just want to clarify that I am not into boy bands but good music. I am also interested in the way media wants certain artists to be portrayed. The music industry today thrives on pop culture some of the biggest artists of today's music world are bands such as One Direction, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber are all artist's whose fan base generally consists of female women (Although I do enjoy some of their songs) however for example it is when media gets a hold of a genuinely different kind of artists and then molds their image and sound to fit that of what the general target audience would like.

     One of the best new examples of this comes from the new group known as EMBLEM3 consisting of three young men who range from 16-19 years old. long before the boys gained national success thanks to the hit NBC show X FACTOR the boys in my opinion played a different kind of music that was actually exiting to listen to, not like the generic catchy tunes we here on the radio all the time that get over played. For example this is music from the group EMBLEM3 before they were famous.  Enjoy!

     This mixture a reggae, rock, and soothing vocals along with unique instruments make this song fantastic and give a very different feel from what can usually be heard on the radio. Since their X FACTOR fame the boys have signed to the label Psycho which is Simon Cowl's label which has produce boy bands such as ONE DIRECTION. Now in no way am I bashing one direction or their music but it can be seen EMBLEM3 IS JUST TOO DIFFERENT from ONE DIRECTION. Yet since being signed the band has released their first single and here it is    

     This is nothing like the original sounds that had them compared to the likes of Sublime. The song is personally annoying although catchy is nothing like the original music they had made. Although they are now rising through the charts it is tough to blame them because they are so young and want to please the people. But just for once in the near future I want to see some one get Praised for their original music then after gaining success and notoriety are not influenced by the mass media and the giant corporation signing labels that are trying to mold them for stardom by making them sing crappy 12 year old tunes. Originality is best. not manufactured music endorsed by 30 year old white males.
