My Strained Relationship with Music

Now...if you were my friend and you happen to know me quite well, you would also know that I am a complete imbecile when it comes to music. Just to let you know the degree of my stupidity when it comes to music, I honestly don't know the definition of blues or pop or any of those stuff.

    If you have been with me to a karaoke session you would see that I can go completely berserk but it's only because I like to shout and make noise. Also, to hide my shallow knowledge of music I always try to act lazy during karaoke sessions so my friends would choose the songs for me (actually I don't really know how to use to remote controller as well).
    Anyway, I have this friend whose absolutely crazy about music whose name I would not mention but lets call him Brandon SM (No it doesn't stand for anything sexual you dirty minds). SM claims that he would die without music and that I am the first person he has ever met that never listens to music.
    Well, actually he is partly not true. I used to listen to music a lot. I used to watch MTV to look out for what nice new songs are out and I used to listen to rap and rap listening to it which drives my brother absolutely bonkers. My song list used to be a big list but you would laugh looking at the current one. It's absolutely pathetic that I don't listen to music. Nowadays my relationship with music is down to turning on the radio while driving and I don't even know the names of the songs that are played.
    Honestly I don't know why I lost my love for it. At the peak of my knowledge for music everything musical around me just went off. My song list was gone because my com died, my MTV got off my Astro subscription for some reason. I just didn't bother to take the hassle to download songs anymore and I just didn't felt like I needed them. Also, music, I think is in a grey patch now. There's just too much shit  playing on the radio nowadays. There's someone with a ridiculous name with a humongous nose on her horse-like face wearing a red g-string and suspenders singing some ridiculous song. Guns n' Roses sucks now. There are also people like Kesha, who sings about how much men want her and how hot she is when she isn't? There are also big black men that talk with music in the background about drugs and sex and how many times they've been shot. And, I don't bother to switch to chinese or asian stations because all they sing about is love and breaking up.
    Music had lost it's greats and in the place of them comes a lot of people who sing for the sake of money rather than for the love of it. This is probably one of the reasons that I lost my love for music. Until another Elvis or MJ comes about, I will probably not find the need for modern music in my life. But if you guys fancy a karaoke session and don't mind me shouting, shrieking and climbing up the seats I'm always available. =) (I also apologise for the images to be in BnW, I didn't take it...my friend did)
