That take is without a doubt the most ignorant take I’ve heard on rock music since a 1990s Catholic mass. First off, a lot of music is about drugs sex and money, because you know, people like drugs sex and money. Second, rock music from a lot of different eras had actual themes, you can’t just be like “oh political rock doesn’t count cuz it has themes I agree with” just because artists talk about drugs sex or money as well. Third, repetition is how all music works, you keep to a beat and follow it through the song, haven’t you ever heard a songs chorus? Like did you watch Stranger Things Season 4 and then agree with Jason?

Nonono! Anon, we literally have the same opinion here.

I'm talking about how Miraculous acts like these things are bad because they're somehow exclusive to modern music (which obviously they aren't).

I said "most" as a generalisation, but I understand how it could have come off like I was saying "it sucks" or "it isn't allowed to be like this" or something. That isn't what I was saying. I'm criticising media takes, specifically on 80s/90s American rock music that's shallowly idolised and pitted against modern music without much thought.

I enjoy rock music, and I happen to also enjoy a lot of music about sex, drugs and money. I don't think those themes make a song less worthy of appreciation or anything, I'm saying it's a frustrating take when people romanticise rock as something that has some moral high ground over other genres because it supposedly isn't like the "media today" that literally has the same themes. I'm not saying "political rock is different because it has themes I agree with", actually, I can get pretty exhausted listening to hot takes in songs. I was saying more "it's different" in isn't centrical to the themes I was mentioning before. Not that it was better or something.

Also, I know how repetition works. Miraculous doesn't. Half of their points about modern music/pop music or EDM is that it's 'cold and repetetive' and their insinuation is that it means that a song hasn't been written to be meaningful to somebody. I'm saying rock also uses repetition, and YES, sometimes to the point where it's just padding the song length.

Also, no. I don't watch that show.
