I have for the longest time loved mashups... even back when they used to be called "blends." This was back maybe in 2003.
I've noticed that they have become really popular at my college, but I think it is getting to a point where it is being saturated.
I personally think it sucks at a party when you hear a song you like (the instrumental starts) and then you start to hear lyrics that you weren't expecting. But then on top of that those lyrics are chopped up and altered with even more different songs, when all you really want to do is enjoy the party.
I guess I just feel that good music shouldn't throw the listener off or be "deceiving" subconsciously. I don't know it is a tricky subject because it is "creative art" but at the same time it is more of a "collage of other musical pieces."
What do you think? How much "creative justice" should be taken before it goes too far?
I guess I just thought of this because i saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UPND...layer_embedded
and absolutely hated it. I love LMFAO btw. and I thought United States of Pop was the coolest thing on Youtube when it first came out.
Does anybody feel the same way? Are mashups becoming a fad?
