STFU Hipster.

A lot of people I talk to say you have to look past the top 40 charts to find the best that music has to offer. But on this evidence from Composer Hans Zimmer I say balls to that! Lets compare the likes of Mr. Zimmer to more contemporary acts like JLS and Tinie Tempah. For starters what kind of name is Hans Zimmer? It doesn’t exactly scream star material. Where as on the other hand the ever popular JLS and Tinie Tempah don’t even need real names! They let abbreviations and poor spelling do all the talking, which I think is cool…if you can work out just how your supposed to say their aliases that is.
Now lets listen to the music; Tinie Tempah plays the clever tactic of implementing made up words in his songs – who can forget the classic “G-shocks, I got a crazy thumb collection” from his hit Pass Out, where he also informs the world that he has been to Southampton, but never to Scunthorpe: Genius. On the other hand Hans Zimmer doesn’t even write any lyrics! I imagine all that orchestral bullshit is from his record label as well.
Not. At All. Gay
Finally I would like to point out that songs in the charts are so much more representative of the man on the street. I mean take JLS for example, they sing about putting your hands up in a club, which appeals to me as a person from real life because I put my hands up sometimes too! Not just in clubs either, I used to do it in school quiet frequently in fact. Hans Zimmer’s material would only work if I was in a movie or something.
So there you have it, there’s no point listening to anything outside the UK top 40, because everything else is pointless and boring.
Oh yeah, I just remembered, I’m not an idiot – 10/10 Hans Zimmer for creating some of the most emotive and spine chilling music I have had the pleasure of listening to.
