Here goes one of the most confusing moments of my life. After breathing fresh oxygenated air into carbon di-oxide long enough I am proud to say that I still have not understood the basic building blocks of human psychology. This is possibly an understatement but true. Treading back to the crux of this ( remarkably baseless) post , I was thinking what wonders can even rash cacophony ( called remixes in the present world) play in those rat sized brains of people.
But before i write any further I have to introduce myself from a new angle. For those who are not aware, I am a frickin' music enthusiast. Having learnt classical for almost a decade ( no kidding) I ought to appreciate good music...ahem -highlight 'good music'. Serves as a manifestation to my acquaintance with music from various genres. I don't say I know them all but as weird as I am I have a fetish for good music. I know enough to differentiate between music and ear cracking noise.
Human psyche has degraded so much. I pity the people who are continuously subjected to such insipid misfortune , misnomered as music . Making my point even more clear - music is less about vocals and instruments and more about the DJs (drunk jockeys) . It does not require days to be spent in the R&D center to realize that what people say they groove to used to be some pristine song once upon a time, later on vandalized by evil forces on earth. Well they are not to be entirely blamed , are they?? They became what they are (mostly) after extensive failure in everything else. Its a universally accepted profession. Moreover , what is wrong in doing something as far as there is an inexplicably brought up , nonsensical bunch of people in the society who enjoy the all time classic musical abominations .
Well I am still confused..who is to be blamed?? The DJ who strives to earn money by doing the only thing he is probably good (or bad) at . Or is it the people who just need an excuse to show their skills in dancing or whatsoever . Either ways the person in question is motivated to do something novel for his own betterment (or pragmatically , his own fall ) .
What is even more flabbergasting ??? We have the honorable DJs gently poking their noses in ceremonies and joints which are aimed at proving their core traditional values ( goodness I can make sentences so complicated!!) . To exemplify the above statement , take for instance the garbha-dandiya sessions during navratri . Fortunately or unfortunately my house is very close to this gymkhana where the essence of navratri remains unforgotten and the spirits of the people sky high . Dandiya is a regular feature and there are chunks of people coming in to dance almost everyday for nine whole days . Well that is something to be proud about...but all the pride is simply torn apart when I hear and watch people dance on remix numbers from a few retarded bollywood movies . I look around and then I see the man in action , rolling and spinning ( or pretending to roll and spin) something . Bravo !!! Now that is called techno dandiya..daah!!
Well , my apologies to those who may not like the content of this post . The post is not written to derogate the capabilities of these people . It is just a testimony to those who think they are the ultimate creators of music , nothing short of hooligans .
With that note , lemme spin off . Will spin back again..( just tempted to use that word though it did not make any sense)
