Christmas Music in retail stores. WHY?

If you listen to the merry brainwashing associated with this "joyful" holiday work in a retail store on this dreadful season of November 1st ( because who really celebrates Thanksgiving) to January 2nd and you'll understand why I'm writing about the pain that is Merry Christmas Music!

there is nothing more dreadful than hearing festive music in a retail setting working long ,questionably, legal hours in the hope for decent a wage.

but why go through all the hassle of putting consumers in the " spirit of Christmas " when you overdose them with Maria Carey's All I want for Chirstmas is you. when In a recent article titled Too Much Christmas Turns Shoppers Away by Sarah Mohoney, she explains and backs up her findings that all the effort of Christmas joy is wasted when retail franchises are cramming it down your throat.

For anyone in the position to change the music in a store. Read this article and Change it up a bit because I am not in the mood to hear the same four song's in a row playing for three months straight!

brokencyde is a synonym for suicide.

Warning: Explicit and abominable content alert. I apologize for putting my fellow music aficionados through this.

I'm almost disappointed no one brought this "band" to my attention... key word almost.

Can I even call brokeNCYDE a "band?" I don't really want to call them anything at all.

Their song, Freaxxx, very well may have won the title for most nauseating song of the decade.

Let us review the epic fail checklist to see if they qualify:

Terrible haircuts: check.
Cliche, chauvinistic lyrical content: check.
Obvious Auto-Tune: check.
I think I've gone far enough...

These guys really put out some tasteless music. I think I'd rather listen to Guns 'N Roses's performance from earlier this year. Have I made my point yet?

I regretfully conclude this blog, because there is no worse band in the world than brokeNCYDE. They have really ruined all my hope for the future of music.

Thanks for reading, everyone.
