I can't stand all the reality tv hoopla & teen pop trash that's polluting the radio stations.

Teen pop & reality tv are just plain rubbish that people will obiviously regret in 10 years (from now).

(Just to say that today's pop culture really bites.)

BELIEVE ME on this dude, they said the same thing 10 years ago about 1990-'93/'94.  People always think the present sucks.  

All you have to do is switch some of the words around:

"From 1990-'93 we have had some crazy things happen: The Gulf War comes to mind, the fall of the Soviet Union, Grunge, a wacked out election with 3 canidates running for office, after 12 years a Democrat in the White House, a DEEP RECESSION of the economy, trash talk shows like Jenny Jones, Geraldo and Riki Lake, and MTV has been really starting to suck too."

AND...

"I can'd stand all the trashy TV talk shows and stupid grunge music trash that's polluting our radio stations.  Not taking a bath is supposed to be cool?  I can't believe kids idolize that Kurt Cobain idiot.

Grunge and talk show TV are just plain rubbish that people will obviously regret in 10 years (from now)

(Just to say that today's pop culture really bites)  Hey maybey we should make a movie with that title?  Reality Bites?"

I'll agree the teen-pop and reality shows are something that are "rubbish".

"Realty Bites" was a good  movie that defined a mediocre decade.
(no offense)

I know what your stating,but this is just my opinion.

Ironically, I used to like watching talk shows during the 1990's and now I don't care for them.

Ok, in defense of those poor greedy women from hell. (I know, I wouldn't be a good 'devil's advocate' ;)) You don't have to be interesting or smart to inherit lots of money.  Just lucky.

"You know, I don't really think I needed to see Richard Gere rip off his pants."

The rise of Eminem
"Did anyone notice that right after he did that duet with Elton John, Elton started getting a lot more profane?  Makes me wonder what traits rubbed off on Em, if you know what I'm saying..."

You should be on VH1 in 20 years and say that stuff.

I don't think music has been all that bad in the past 3 years. I think the whole teen bubblegum pop is fading out slowly (thank god) but I will say that TV just SUCKS!  It royally sucks.  I stopped watching TV on a regular basis about a year ago, because I just couldn't bear to watch anymore reality TV.  IMO, the only good show on primetime is C.S.I. (not the lame Miami one either).  Other than that, nada.  Thank goodness for The Learning Channel, that way I can watch back to back episodes of Trading Spaces every night instead of the crap on regular TV. ;)

I'll agree TV is at its lowest point in like a while. I can't remember when TV was so bad. There are still good shows but reality TV is "Gimmick TV". I mean America's Hottest Woman, star Search, and American Idol. Its bad TV at its best.

"Trading Spaces",in my opinion is pure dullville.

Hey, it doesn't matter what era, what year, what decade.
Most of the time what's "pop" is dumb and boring and senseless and crude and silly.
You have to ask yourself; who is responsible for it becoming "pop", which is short for popular?
Was it you? Was it me? Who was it?
Who can we point the finger at?
Who's responsible for Britney Spears selling millions of albums?
Who's responsible for Joe Millionaire being a highly rated program?
Who's responsible for most of pop music on pop stations being so irritating that you have to change the station because you can't even stand to hear it, let alone listen to it?
There are only two possibilities:
1- Most of us are dumb, boring, senseless, crude and silly, or
2- There is a worldwide conspiracy spending billions of dollars a year to ensure that we see and hear what they think we should see and hear.

You raise a good point, Howard. Sexual orientation always seems to be scrutinized wherever you turn (I heard about Coronation Street's kiss between two blokes and then before that in Brookside it was two women snogging . . .).

I don't know about everyone else but if that's the way script-writers have to go to get people to watch. I think it says something about society.

Oh, Coronation Street and Brookside are soap operas.

I didnt like the '90's.The birth of anal retentiveness,politically correct everything not just races (i can see that)but c'mon,mechanic-person just doesnt cut it :P

Music was even worse-grunge,garage bands,bland boring monotone music.It still is to some extent.

I really havent noticed anything getting much better.Nowadays they use classic music on commercials-whats next-Trampled Underfoot for Preparation H??

Howard you hit it on the head when you mentioned SO.You dont just see it,you hear it "hi i am juicy and this is tranishia and were BI" Like uh....okay TMI. ;D

Mordor, I agree with everything you said in your post.

As far as I am concerned, Pop-Culturally speaking, the 90's never happened. :)

To me, it seemed like most of the music bands spent the entire decade trying to find an original sound, and they all failed.  99% of 90's bands sound exactly alike.

To me the 90's were good up until 1999. You either loved or hated grunge. I don't like this decade really. The reality shoes and everything else. It all has to go in my opinion. People who like the 80's will bash the 90's because the 90's was a chemical reaction to the 80's pop culture wise. I like both the 80's and 90's but this deacde I don't really like so far.

I don't understand the whole Bisexual thing. I mean for women I guess its alright. I don't think for guys its as accepted. Still as a guy I can't see going out with a guy. Its just weird to me. If I went out with a woman who was bisexual it wouldn't bother me. I didn't mean to offend anybody who is bisexual with my comments but I'm just stating my opinion.

Nowadays we're seeing more and more of the male and female flesh.take WWF and the TV film "Skin" On Channel 5 for example.It's unbelieveable.the"nudity" thing must be in now.everyone's gettin' naked! :D

End Quote

Nudity was pretty popular in the late 90's then it took a two or three year break now its back again. "Skin" from what I read in a newspaper didn't get good ratings. Half of the people that were watching the first episode of "Skin" tuned out at the halfway point of the show. I hope this current trend of nuditity doesn't produce a trend of "overkill" if you will. There's only so many nude bodies you can see before its gets like eating McDonald's everyday.
