A Thread for Hilarious RONG Things my Sociology of Pop Music Prof Says

I would like to say "hi" to the pinefox, whose presence has been sorely missed!

Squarepusher records are almost exclusively bought by road workers, incidentally.

best thread ever. its as if the class was taught by Patrick Bateman.

"Paula Cole's 'where have all the cowboys gone' is a heartbreaking lament for the plight of the modern American farmer."

My English Professor's a HACK

if this is an undergraduate class, it's likely stocked with undergrads looking for an easy A. I don't think that pop music is being interrogated here. And there are academics grappling with pop music. Look at the faculty of the Musicology department at UCLA.

Also, these quotes are ridiculous not just because they are wrong, but because they miss the point of a sociology class.

i saw yo mama the other day, right?

"To be honest I'm not sure why pop music should need to be 'approached by academia' at all.

-- Matt DC"

Quite possibly the funniest joke ever on a rap (or "rap") album. And people think psychoanalysis is humorless.

We have already done this! She just gave us a lengthy and arcane spreadsheet. It was awesome.

Sorry about the delay, btw guys, internet went down on the entire campus today (?!).

"Tupac really was a big softie, his record company made him do all that thug stuff. Read interviews with the rappers, they'll tell you that the execs will turn them away if their lyrics aren't violent or misogynistic enough!"

"Kurt Cobain & Zach De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) had a lto in common, in that they both wanted their music to be a revolutionary call to political consciousness."

PLZ TO EMAIL ME LENGTHY AND ARCANE SPREADSHEET PLZ PLZ

"Kid Rock was really the 90s version of John Lennon, and 'Bawitdaba' was his 'Give Peace a Chance.'"

btw guys in case you are curious, here are the transcribed lyrics of the opening 1.5 minutes of "Bawitdaba," according to my course packet paid for in part by the citizens of the State of Texas.

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogie said up jump the boogie

^ your tax dollars at work, people

I will have to scan spreadsheet etc etc but I will do my due diligence or whatever it's called.

"Of course, as we all know, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez left us in 1994 in a plane crash."

also can we please note that Bawitdaba actually sounded kind of awesome on auditorium speakers

"'Sing for the Moment' was really Eminem's artistic peak."
