[Mellotronists] question/observation

2007-11-12 by jonesalley

I can't come up with any names right now, but it's bands with those Cookie 
Monster "demon from hell" kind of vocals, the kid bands that think 
Jagermeister and Pabst Blue Ribbon are the ultimate in fine spirits and the 
Vans Warped tour is the zenith of success.  I answered an ad a while back 
that said something like "keyboardist needed for progressive rock band" and 
it was like we were on totally different planets when I responded to it.

Was the R&B misleading labeling question regarding the heavily produced, 
rap-influenced Beyonce-type radio stuff that is out now?  I've never been an 
R&B person, but I've been wondering how the music that I hear referred to as 
that style currently is actually going over with fans of the traditional 
styleset, because this new stuff sure doesn't have much similarity to the 
old.

Which only makes my question more relevant, are people today just too lazy 
to come up with names?  Sure, language evolves and labels are elastic, but 
this practice is as misleading as calling cats dogs.
