Say No to commercial HITS and maybe, to lost in the shelves music

Supergroove is a funk Rock band from New Zealand. They released their first album in 1994. I had weird taste in music(I think I still do). I remember I found the Album in tower records and thought Cool cover. listened and that day my little narrow mind of Rock medium widened. Heavy-metal, Alternative rock, Punk rock...etc. were yester news to me. Funk Rock was cool. Music as alot to do with fashion too. Its inter linked. Maybe that's why I liked it. It fitted my wardrobe budget at that time. ( also its good music)

For example, kids into emo rock will be all in black with heavy boots and straight long fringe black eye( if you can see their eye behind that girly bangs) moving back to Rock. Heavy metal rock guys would have very long permed or straight hair and tight jeans and tight tees and black bands on thier wrist. They would look Little like their girlfriends.

Funk Rock gave teenagers a new revolution in the 90's. Baggy jeans. size wouldn't matter. so you can steal your big brother's jeans. Any type of Tees preferably with no brands or words, and definately definately a cool pair of shades. ( Dont forget a cap/hat. very important, main accessories and great for bad hair days! Emos and Rockers cant do that cause for them its all about the hair!!)

So widen your hearing. If you are into rock. Try old bands and the new bands. Stop MTV from telling you what you like and don't. There are great bands out there with less recognition in Singapore. We are too much influenced by the American media. That's what MTV and Radio stations do here too. They show us and make us listen to what sells in America. How much more of Rihana, Beyounce, 5o Cents and One Republic can we listen too?

Most ppl I know are into alternative Rock now. But seriously ppl there are more out there than LimpBizkit and Linkin Park. Not sure where to start. Bring your ass down to HMV or The CD Shop in town, Go to the international sections. walk away from the best sellers. Be brave and listen. You may find out something about yourself that you never knew before, And who knows you might actually start expressing yourself through fashion, when you are influenced by the music that you explore.


So fun listening and fun dressing up
M.T

ps: I swear to God if I have to listen to 'Its too late to apologise' one more time, heads might roll.
