have you ever seen a room full of people get up and start singing along to sweet home alabama? can you imagine what it's like to talk to these people for 2-3 hours at a party? do you have people look at you weird because you don't think poison or whitesnake is awesome in an ironic way? you ever seen line dancing IN REAL LIFE? you ever had to be in a bar while hipsters play an entire set of acoustic sublime songs?? HAVE YOU HIMU?!? THEN FUCK YOU YOU DONT KNOW MY PAIN
You say soft rock but cite oldschool black music as better.
This stuff is softer than any soft rock, and often times, far more cheesy.
Imagine hearing that every single outing with baby boomer black folks there. The Temptations with some Diana Ross or the Jackson Five.
Shit is good music, just like soft rock. The problem is overexposure.
If I have to hear Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On at another black party, I will snap. Then have your father tell you,"listen to these lyrics, they're deep. Not some crap music they got now." when it's just lyrics to a generic love song some dude made to get into girls panties. You're lucky you only have to deal with Al Green's Let's Stay Together in films and tv. I have to hear every single party with old people.
I have witnessed line dancing in real life, and it made me smh. Like I said, I've been to white parties. They are awful. But black parties can be just as awful and repetitive.
