Today I am going to feature two topics! The Next Generation Of Asians (I hope it turns out well...) and What Happened To Music? It's going to be a fun day. I actually didn't make a logo for any of the topics that I'm doing today, but I will have pictures. Anyways, I just want to talk about something else before the topics.
Welcome To The World Tech Blog
At least I think that's what I'll call it. If you guys have been reading my posts, you'll know that I'm starting a new blog. I've always loved technology and I will be creating a tech blog with help from my friend Gary. He isn't really writing content, but sending screen shots of his awesome Mac theme and helping me find things... Here the link and please visit.
It's probably true for most Asian children. Work. Not real work, but have your parents ever said, "Go read." or, "Stop playing on the computer for so long!" when you're reading or you're not even playing on the computer. Let's face the facts. Our parents came from China. They're weren't born in Canada and aren't exactly used to what other races do to their children. But it is true that parents always care about education and a good one at that too. It's because they love us. And I don't know if I'm the only Asian kid that gets yelled at for coding or doing something productive. My parents (and guardians) don't really look at what I'm doing. They just assume that I'm playing always. Does blogging, coding or reading news count as playing? Even on the computer? Most of my friends really appreciate what I do as a coder and my teacher really thinks that it's great that I know how to code and create games. This makes me wonder though. When I grow up, will I apply what I've "learned" from my parents and guardians on my children? Make them turn of the computer when they're reading news? I don't think so. I think that the next generation of Asians will be a lot better than what we have right now. We all love our Asian parents and all that stuff, but for me (and probably most of you Asian kids), it can be a pain in the butt sometimes.
Yes, we're all familiar with LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and all the other "good" songs today, but what happened to music overall? It used to be soft and calming and now it's become a bunch of bad singers forcing producers to auto tune their voices to make them addictive. And to prove this theory, I will tell you of a study. One lone study showed that last year's (possibly even years before that) top 10 songs had at least one line in the lyrics that involved or even slightly mentioned sex. And if you also listen to songs carefully (songs like Party Rock Anthem, Sexy And I Know It, Addicted), then you'll see that most of what you love in the song is just the sweet beat. Take a listen to the song below and then the second song and see for yourself what has happened.
This song was I'll Never Smile Again by Tommy Dorsey and it was the number one song for 12 weeks from July 27, 1940 to October 12, 1940. Notice that it's soft and calming. Here's the wiki page if you want to know more and if you don't, then take a look at the next song.
Notice the difference? Of course you did! Anyways, Moves Like Jagger is by Maroon 5 and is the number one song today. It does sound pretty good, so it's not a good example of the point I'm trying to make. Here's another song. I'll try to get the lyrics so you can look at the... uhhh stuff they sing.
Okay, now that song was ridiculous (at least to me). This concludes this special topic. Hey! That's a great idea. I'll create a label called Special Topic Time and you guys can check it out every once in a while to see if I have other great content like this.
That's It For Today
Yep. I have to get working on the other blog now. The tabs of info about the theme I'm going to showcase are bored waiting there for the past half hour I've been using to work on the latest topic. So I'm going to start working on the blog. I hope that you guys have enjoyed today's topics and I will see you next post. Thanks for reading, subscribe, like on Facebook or do something!
