a lot of today's music to be more focused on sounding good... Made to appeal, or tell stories. While that's good and all, I find that most, if not all of mainstream music, isn't poetry anymore.
 
Poetry is something that takes and requires thought, both by the maker and by the listener. Poetry isn't afraid to use words that the viewers don't understand yet, because poetry is meant to sound professional and... Well... Poetic.
 
Music, although is supposed to be a sub-form of poetry, now days doesn't apply by these standards. Common, even taboo swear words, are used to formulate songs for the sake of sounding good. They are so focused on making about their "feelings and experiences" that they lose track on what makes poetry. Without standards of art, we lose track of what is good art and bad art. If the lyrics is bad or of poor taste, we ignore the lyrics and just listen to the music, not the words or the message; that should NEVER happen if it is good poetry. Sad thing is, nobody cares if the music is trying to tell them things that is against their values (many Christians are okay with music that have morally bad lyrics). When will we begin to appreciate songs for their poetic value only rather than what is good for our ear buds?

This is to get people to spread each others taste in music.
 
Basically, all ya need to do is share a song through youtube, and the person below responds with some things they liked about it and some they didnt. Then that person posts their own song. Try not to do too well known songs and please keep them appropriote according to the rules.

My favorite band has to be Twenty One Pilots. Have Christian band members and God used their poetic lyrics to save me from committing suicide. I hold the utmost respect for them and there isn't a single song I don't like.

My favorite official Christian band is Switchfoot.

Thanks! I used to go to Furs For Christ, but a lot of their political views didn't sit well with me, being a conservative and all. If it were more balanced I would have stayed but it was an overwhelming majority seemingly on the opposite specteum of the political scale. I got in trouble a few times for my passionate arguments. So I thought being in a new place that may hold similar or more people with views like mine would help me stay away from releasing anger toward politics.
 
I mainly stopped associating with the fandom because of the common practice of sexual deiviancy and simple access to things like pornography.

i think it's a funny idea; however, i think taking pride in sexuality is inherently stupid and shouldn't have ever been a thing in the first place. not dissin' on anyone, but taking pride in how one partakes in a sex act is asinine. whenever i hear about gay pride, i go "NECROPHILIAC PRIDE!!!!" it usually does the job heh
