i feel like arguing about mashups is becoming another "cool thing to do".

is it just me? or do other people feel this way too?

Mashups are the lowest form of music.

There is no creation just hey lets pit one song over another.

well actually Girl Talk apparently has enough creation in his mashups to avoid legal action from the artists he samples.

Girl talk is an exception, he puts tons of work into his music almost to a point that i wouldn't call it a mashup any more in comparison to other "mashups" out there. and im not saying i hate mashups i was actually listening to one while i wrote that, but they always seem to fall short of good music.I just cant find myself hooked on a mashup like i can with other music. i just think they are a very basic for of music.

i find them catchy...sure i don't find them good or interesting but sometimes they take the best parts of 2 songs and put them together. i have nothing against that

i feel like there's an incredible stigma surrounding music about feeling the need to stick to core, underground people who "nobody knows yet" even if they aren't super awesome. listen to what you think sounds good...but of course it can't be that simple because we are incredibly talented at making straightforward common sensical things as complicated as possible

It's like that from some people, but some, like Girl Talk, take a ton of talent.

I feel like hating on mashups is becoming another "cool thing to do".

Personally I don't consider someone who makes mashups a "musician" on the level of creating music like many other artists. However, I personally love listening to a tasteful mashup, and give credit to the person who can make a good one instead of a shitty one. They take the parts of different songs that I like and put them together. If they complement eachother then I think it's fucking rad.

But this is NS, and there are so many people scared to appear mainstream or trendy, that dissing things that the majority of others like is a trend in itself.
