Sore because the last time his material sold well was over ten years ago, Moby (a dick, but not the Dick) says the songs of Ke$ha, Rihanna, Britney Spears and the Black Eyed Peas don’t qualify as music. In an interview with Spinner.com, the once edgy artist said:
“It’s fun, but I don’t think of it as music. It’s manufactured*. I appreciate it as pop culture phenomenon and some of the songs I like if I hear them in a shopping mall or something, but it doesn’t function as music for me. Music is something that communicates emotion and integrity in a really interesting, direct way. And when I listen to the pop music you’re describing, it’s hyper-produced corporate product. That isn’t really even a criticism, but I just think calling it music is a misnomer.
It’s advertising for ringtones.”
In other news, Beethoven says Moby is not music. Also, “Moby you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 45 year old bald headed f*g, blow me. You don’t know me, you’re too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno” (Eminem).
*that’s rich coming from someone who makes 4/4 electronic dance music
