Hey all, excuse the block of text below!

Me, and I'm sure many others, have noticed a trend in mainstream (by "mainstream", I mean, like, ultra-mainstream) music over the last year or so:

It all seems to be produced with a club in mind, specifically, it seems to take after House music. Listen to Lady Gaga, Rihanna, or Britney Spears' new singles for example. Nearly all of them have heavy 4x4 bass-clap-bass-clap rhythms, with bass notes that play after every bass drum and snare drum. All of this is topped off with some melody and lyrics about "goin' all night in da club", as well as the occasional bass-drop.

This is similar to what has happening with Hip-Hop for a while. Pure Hip-Hop songs were topping charts. 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Dre, Nas and other Hip-Hop giants could release singles without a lick of pop-ness and have them become extremely popular. Look at 50 Cent's "If I can't", for example. No female pop singer on the hook, lyrics that were very gangsta-focused. In addition, non-rappers would try to sound more like Hip-Hop, be a tad more "street" and feature rappers left and right.

So I guess my question is:

Do you agree that this is happening? Do you like it/dislike it?

Love to hear yall's thoughts, and thanks a bunch if you bothered to read all that!

The music scene of today alone spawns some of the worst fanboys imaginable. I think they're worse than the video game scene (in my opinion). So what fans do you find the most annoying? I'm talking fans of anything music-related here. It would also help if you share some of your own personal experiences with some of these "fans" as well.

Mine would probably have to be Justin Bieber fans (or "beliebers")and haters alike. with the die-hard metalheads following by a close margin. Justin Bieber fans just because of how incredibly moronic they are when it comes to defending their favourite musical sensation who they believe they are going to marry when they get older, despite the fact that he (Justin Bieber) probably complains about people like them after every show. I also hate the haters, for obvious reasons since they are more prominent than Justin Bieber fans but equally as annoying. Just the fact that there's so many people that enjoy wasting their time, dishing out hate on someone that will fade away into obscurity in a year or so...it just completely baffles me.

I also hate the die-hard metal fans because of how elitist they are, and anything that isn't "br00tal" or "tr00 kvlt" enough for them is **** I can't stand that attitude.

So what are your most annoying fans, OT?
