Facebook + Music = Disaster?

So the other day, I was on Facebook, and EVERYONE'S status said something like "...is wishing that airplanes in the night sky were shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now." ...Or some variation of that. Sometimes it says "...could really use a wish right now." Blah. After reading all of this, I was worried about these kids. WHAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIVES, PEOPLE? Why does everyone suddenly need a wish? Did your 12-year old boyfriend dump you? Are you and your internet boyfriend having virtual problems? Did your girlfriend pass a note to the football player that sits behind her in Algebra class saying that she didn't think she likes you anymore?

This is what I have to say: Shut up and get over yourself. Make a Facebook status talking about how you could use a wish whenever you live in a place where you don't know where your next meal will come from. Until then, no one wants to read about your sob story of how terrible your life is, because honestly, it’s not that bad.

After I had my little rant about that the other day, I decided that maybe I should see if that Facebook status was a song or something. Ohhh, it was. After I found out about it, I didn't stop hearing that song by Bob and Hayley Williams.

REALLY, HAYLEY WILLIAMS?! The cute girl from Paramore with the gap in her front two teeth? (Yeah, that's acceptable to me because she's cute.) But I'm very disappointed in her. I think that she's talented and stuff, but I REALLY hate this song. It's everywhere, and it's obnoxious. It's turned everyone emo… Not cute. Emo was SO 2008. Get with the times, people... Everyone gets over their problems nowadays, and we don't worry about dwelling on stupid stuff like airplanes and shooting stars. Who does that, anyway? If you confuse airplanes and shooting stars, you suck, and you should probably get out more. Just sayin'.

By the way... A RAPPER NAMED BOB?! Seriously? What happened to the real life ballers with names like 8-Ball, Biggie, The Game, Fitty Cent. NOT BOB!!! My grandpa’s name is Bob. My guess is anything this kid puts out is going to be crap, and/or be really obnoxious.

You know that terrible compilation CD super-chain, NOW That's What I Call Music? Yeah, well that's what I call CRAP. This is my corner of the music world. I may not be an expert on performing, playing, or writing music, but I can distinguish the not-so-crappy from the absolute worst. …
