How the fuck is he not? How?

Are you fucking retarded? His badass image naturally coincides with the music perfectly.
The music is also great, mind you.
he's pop punk vocals over a trap beats that usually sample emo. he's way more unique than 99% of soundcloud rappers out there.
he makes good music
Cherry bomb is pretty lit
Probably the best example.
Except Never Mind the Bullocks is still a good album.
They call him the chameleon
who gives a shit
Unrelated, but man I hate when music videos include sound effects like that camera flash at :08 and :17.
The worst offender is this Barenaked Ladies song, which becomes unlistenable at 1:20:

Fuck you Gay Tumblr Nigger, you're the Scum of the Earth.
The in bloom music video is worse.

Most Pop artists.
Every single artist ever.
As usual with Bowie, Blackstar (RCA, 2016), produced again by Tony Visconti,, is mostly image and very little about the music. The ten-minute Blackstar, that was supposed to be the centerpiece, is little more than a funereal litany a` la Doors with jazz horns that goes on five minutes too many. Bowie crooning melodramatic in Lazarus (from his Broadway musical about an alien who falls in love) or romantic in Dollar Days is either delirious and pathetic, certainly not entertaining. His tedious voice interferes with the driving jazz jam of 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore and with the frenzied and tense Sue (a 2014 single). Even when the voice is not a distraction, the rest is hardly intriguing: I Can't Give Everything Away boasts an awful distorted guitar against syncopated beats and layers of electronic drones: not exactly genius. This is trivial "music" that any amateur could make, except that most amateurs would be ashamed to release it.
Bowie died of cancer in january 2016.

Tumblr loves Cash, Gorillaz and Bowie though you fucking dummy
Yeah really, Johnny Cash is badass with zero pretension. He doesn't really have any kind of getup. He's just intimidating because he's a regular guy with a hard knock life.
Bad Reputation
That was intentional though, wasn't it? Like it was supposed to be an extension of the theme of the song.
that's Joan Jett...
>tfw you thought "Joan Jet" was a minor character like Harold Helicopter from Thomas The Tank Engine.
How has nobody mentioned Lady Gaga yet
No.
Yes.
Fuck you, Crimson and Clover is a fire track. It's a cover but it sounds terrific.
Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey do not belong in this thread so don't ever mention them.
Lana ALMOST became a part of this thread. Ultraviolence saved her ass.
>Lana
Agreed
>Gaga
Pic Related.
Honeymoon is also really good.
Born to Die is good though and changed the contemporary pop scene forever.
What is your post referring to?
I don't care if I get shit for this, it's true.
