what do people do this to countercultural music?

Hope you don't mind a Boring Old Fart weighing in on this one but you're running into the same thing that every counterculture throughout history has had to deal with. One of the establishments most tried and true tactics is to co-opt both the message & the means of getting that message out & turn these into mindless pap that threaten nobody's peace of mind. For all the stereotypes (many well deserved) of boring stoned out hippies too wasted to give a damn about anything, the counterculture in the 60's started out full of anger about freedom of speech, war, the environment , etc. The media largely ignored these issues & concentrated on the drugs & styles, Madison Avenue turned the counterculture into an advertising strategy to sell oodles of the corporate garbage that we were supposedly against, sickening no-talents like the Osmonds had Top 40 hits with "protest" songs about universal love & the environment. The truly comitted like you finally wore out beating their heads against both the established order & all the wannabes that had the look down right & took all the right drugs but couldn't be bothered with the issues that fueled the counterculture in the first place. These tactics obviously worked well then & have stayed in place since. You're also running into the fact that most people are AFRAID to get truly angry. This requires effort & upsets all the things that make them comfortable. Why listen to somebody like Bad Religion that requires actual involvement with the music & actual thinking about whats being said when you can turn on some mindless pap background noise that requires no effort at all?\nAll you can do is keep the faith in the music & issues that you believe in, keep your anger alive but don't let it turn into "whats the use " resignation, see all the lies & bullcrap in front of you & don't swallow any of it, and hope for the day when & if people finally wake the hell up and see what little drones we've all too willingly let ourselves be turned into. Don't lose the anger, USE the anger!!!

It's called scat for vocals but probably just jamming or improvising for musicians (instruments)

That style of music is typically referred to as "Gregorian Chant".  It's very low (bass or baritone) and gutteral.  Creepy stuff.  The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo De Silos are considered at the top of this genre.  You can find them on Amazon.

It is annoying regardless of what time of day they do it...I refer to the blasting of music, as "recycled music" because I get to hear it from someone else's radio...

Sorry, do not like that type of music

i think that the best thing to do is make your own little mix and spped up some songs and slow some down it'll be creative, original, and you wont have to worry about anybody else having it.

Nothing. Liking certain types of music should not be confined to what society would expect certain people to like.

Sadly most mainstream music goes like that. And the whole 'new sensation, omg they're gonna be huge' thing has being going on for YEARS. There's always music that talks about 'real' issues even if they mean real to each person or not. Anyway I say if you don't like anything out there, make your own!

That kind of music can be considered Etheral Goth.  You might what to check out the bands on Projekt.com for leads, it's the kind of music they produce.  Don't know for sure what band it is, there are many like that.

Rap/Hip-Hop is often played very loudly in an effort to drown out how bad it sucks musically.

You can do that, but try not to play them too close together. Sometimes bands' songs all sound the same i.e. Everclear. It worked for them, but its not too talented to do something like that.

I totallly agree with you.  I asked a question like that a while back and for the most parts it seems like people can't get past their own narrowmindness to look into something a little bit.  I guess it's just easier to say "I like pop, and everything else sucks."  There are certain genres of music that I don't particularly care for but I'm not going to judge somebody or throw out racial comments because they like something that I don't.  I thought music was supposed to be the universal language that brought people together?

they don't have the ability do distinguish bad from wrong, therefor they don't realise that that kind of music sends a bad message through the some nice songs. that's my conclusion, after many years of observing them. it's olso the heard spirit. or family spirit. if you say anything bad about someone in their family, they simply respond to that, not thinking even for a second if you are right or not.

Rock musicians are actually trying to brainwash their followers to believe in bad moral values.  Read this article on rock and roll: http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2002/04-08-2002/vo18no07_rocknroll.htm

It's a little to the left of mainstream Alternative... Alternative allows for mixing of rap and rock like that with groups like Linkin Park and limp Bizkit doing it for years

Hmmm u have 2 questions in one...\n\nIn this materialistic world, I feel its this Love and Unity that is still keeping us from becoming savages.\n\nMusic is supposed to be a gift of god to a few. It seems, when you write/play/sing a music which touches the soul of another person, then you have "created" something with the touch of His hand...

I saw a show on MTV about this. They are paid royalities for the use of their songs. Alot of remakes of earlier rock music is being sung today. People like Uncle Cracker, Jessica Simpson, Madonna, and even Shaggy are doing it.
