I Know it's Only Rock and Roll but I Hate it.

Posted on 11/28/2005 3:51:41 PM PST by Hound of the Baskervilles

I'm posting this in hopes of getting opinions and advice about my growing annoyance of being bombarded with loud hard rock music everywhere I go. It's in grocery stores, department stores, even dentists offices, and it's ALWAYS on TV, in practically every single commercial.

What's worse, I got a job at a major chain department store that caters to mid-America. It's not Penny'S but it is on a par with Penny's/ The sotre plays mostly rock and roll all day long. At night it's nothing but hard rock. The Killers, Lynrd Skynrd, Blondie, Billie Idol, Swiftfoot, ZZ Top, and on and on and on. The music is loud too. (It's loud in most stores.) Not only that, in the store where I work the lyrics of some of the songs are raunchy. Aerosmiths Walk this Way is about oral and group sex. Billy Idol's Rebel Yell is about, well I can't print the words. Even the song, What's Your Name Little Girl, (don't know the artists) is about picking up a woman at a hotel and staying the night with her, plus a band member "having a go" with one of the guests.

This is just my opinion please you rock fans don't take offense. I hate rock music. It's worse than animals growling and screaming. The electric guitar is the most annoying instrument known to man. I am wearing earplugs to work and night and in most stores. Still I can hear it. Help me someone to understand why this music is the most popular form of music in the world. If you like it tell me why so I can try to understand and learn to live with it because there is no escaping it. If you don't like it please give me some sympathy!

Well, that depends very much on the thought, but yes. ;)

Perhaps not, but a person's tastes speaks volumes about them.

To me it's not about the kind of music, it's just the fact that no matter where you go there is music. It's incredibly annoying.

"Offensive? Yeah....and then some. I think we should be allowed to treat these cretins with the same level of respect that they bestow on those unfortunate enough to have to deal with them...just slap the crap out of them and leave them wondering why."

No kidding. It's a good thing I have good impulse control. There is one song the store plays at night. As the Almighty is my witness it is utter gibberish. The chorus is not la la la or da da da. It is as if the the "singer" is stumming his lips with his finger. It is "blablaublauh blausble." Tell me someone, anyone what is THAT???

It's so loud, you cannot speak to the person you stand next to without shouting. Although I do see moms going in there, there always seems to be a small group standing out front who won't.

My girls would think you're the best thing since apple pie that you'd like shopping in there with them.
