Solus is PISSED.

Really. Allow me to list the reasons why.

1. Bass.
I am SICK AND TIRED of the classic, overused bassline of "buzz bass, kick, hat, buzz bass, kick, hat, rinse, repeat, FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING SONG." That's Electronica's missionary position. Try some musical Kama Sutra.

Change it. DO SOMETHING NEW. BASS IS NOT A SECONDARY CONCERN FOR YOUR SONG.
PAY MORE ATTENTION TO IT. BE BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE FUCKING TALENTLESS PRICKS.

: They say caps are the internet equivalent of yelling. That's exactly what I want to convey.

2. Fading.
Seriously. You go to all this trouble of mixing a kickass melody with THAT DAMN OVERUSED BASS to get a great effect, and then you GO AND FUCKING RUIN IT BY NOT FUCKING TRYING. The beginning and end of songs are the hardest part to make, and most times, the best part. STOP TRYING TO GET OUT OF MAKING THEM, AND FUCKING TAKE THE TIME, MAKE THE EFFORT, AND DON'T SAY YOUR SONG'S DONE UNTIL IT HAS BOTH A BEGINNING AND A FUCKING ENDING. (Unless it's a mixtape, where the songs fade into each other. Then it's TOLERABLE.)

Stop trying to cheat, put in the DAMN EFFORT.

3. Repetition.
Okay. You have faded in the melody and the DAMN OVERUSED BASS to the middle of the song, and you're only thirty seconds in. You could say "Hey, I'm gonna run this melody through till I FUCKING FADE IT OUT IN THE END, maybe change the key a few times, make NO DAMN CHANGES TO THE CORE MELODY TO CHANGE THINGS UP, maybe drop in a few breakdowns (will address later in the post) and bam, I have three minutes of what all sorts of SYCOPHANTIC FUCKS will call awesome. Then I fade it out.

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR MELODY. The reason it's called a melody is because it's NOT CALLED A FUCKING CHORUS. Sure, you need a chorus. BUT THERE SHOULD BE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

4. Meaningless lyrics.
If your lyrics don't mean anything (now, before you pounce on me, I'm not saying that it should have a deeper meaning. I'm saying that through the whole song, there should be MORE THAN TEN DIFFERENT FUCKING WORDS UTTERED if you're going to have lyrics at all.) then don't have them. Simple as that. If you're using them like that, you're using a musical crutch, and I swear TO GOD I will kick it out from under you while you're on the FUCKING STAIRS.

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LYRICS. USE NO CRUTCHES. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.

5. Breakdowns, dropping all the instruments in a song out and then re-building up, etc.
Like the "buzz, kick, hat" pattern, a FUCKING AWESOME IDEA. So fucking awesome, IT FUCKING SUCKED. Because people latched on, and therefore, we have THE ENTIRE MUSIC COMMUNITY'S COLLECTIVE DICK trying to get in this one asshole. Granted, it's probably wider than the Goatse guy's ass now, but THERE ARE LIMITS BEFORE THE WHOLE FUCKING THING SPLITS IN TWO AND WE'RE ALL FUCKED.

FIND ANOTHER FUCKING AWESOME THING TO DO WITH YOUR SONGS. SERIOUSLY. It can't be THAT FUCKING HARD. A little creativity has never killed anyone.

6. Panning, Filtering, all sorts of FX.
Oh, great, ANOTHER FUCKING SONG that will AURALLY RAPE ME through panning sprees. When a song fades in, for the most part, it will also pan in. STOP THAT. EVERYONE IS DOING IT. And maybe, while it fades in, panning from left to right, you'll toss in a few crap ass automated filters that will RELENTLESSLY ASSFUCK YOUR MELODY THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH THE BREAKDOWNS AND TO THE FINAL FADEOUT. Sure, it's a fucking awesome idea. Sounds more awesome, lots less effort. Panning and Filtering are the same kind of special that rides the short bus.

7. Random Sounds.
One word: Why? Most songs tend to have none (which is nice, but it could be a nice addition, placed well) or so fucking many, it sounds like you TOOK A GIANT LIQUID SHIT ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD then recorded it and said "Durr... hay, I maek muzzik!" I'm fucking looking at you, Glitch. Go fuck yourself, learn how to make music, instead of being PRETENTIOUS FUCKS that stick their noses up in the air and say "You simply do not understand how this is music."

I once shat explosively into a toilet, and I swear to God, it sounded like I was making glitchcore music.

8. Titles (The Cock-Sucking Left Testicle Hasn't Dropped Yet Mix)
Titles. Something that can make or break your song. A lot of them are weird titles that don't mean anything. To be honest, that's perfectly fine. Unless your songs have lyrics, you're normally hard-pressed for a title and you'll write what the song makes you think of. That's not the problem here. The problem is the bit that comes after the title, you know, the PRETENTIOUS (Hey, this is some kind of mix that I decided to make up a name for that'll be never used again! Maybe I'll have some kind of TRENDY FUCKING MISSPELLING like XTREME or even worse, SUPER MEGA HAPPY DREAM MIX.)

It doesn't mean ANYTHING, get over yourself, TWAT.

9. DJ Worship.
Did they make the song? Did they spend the hours painfully fading in and out the same melody, filtered, panned and mastered with the lay-over of explosive shit sounds, pretentiously titled and with some random guy speaking in some drug-induced trance?

NO.

SO FUCK THEM. GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE- THE ARTIST, NOT THEM.

10. Artists that decide to call themselves "DJ whatever."
See 9.
Do you want to be thought of as one of those FUCKING MOOCHING TWATS?
End of argument.

11. Bass (Not to be confused with 1. Bass. This is the kind that can kill small children at a range of 300 meters.)
If your song makes people's eardrums EXPLODE, then it is not pleasureable (unless you're some DUMBASS MASOCHISTIC TWIT, in which case, I shall not mourn your death, nor shall Darwin.) And at least, if you're going to do that, MASTER IT WELL.

I have heard TOO MANY SONGS that have the bass so badly mastered, it sounds like a CHEAP HONDA CIVIC WITH STOCK SPEAKERS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET BLASTING ITS BASS. All you hear is the rattling of plastic.

THAT'S BAD.

ALL IT TAKES IS SOME SIMPLE COMPRESSOR WORK, PEOPLE!

12. Drumloops.
Drums. Great stuff. So many things you can do with them.

SO WHY THE FUCK DO YOU USE THE SAME SAMPLED DRUMLOOPS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!?!?

You're wasting all you can do with them. Drum and bass is amazing for showing you what you can do with them, as long as you find the right examples.

LEARN. YOU. DUMB. FUCKS.

Alright. I'm not saying I'm sinless. I'm just saying that things need to change.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

Electronica is dead to me.
