Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

Bottom line for me is that pop music has lyrics, and lyrics are about something.

That's where BEP is a complete and epic FAIL.
Good music, sure, and phenomenal production...all delivering lyrics which actively, calculatedly celebrate the worst in us without a even the slightest whiff of irony. It's music which is blind and stupid at best - and purposefully evil at worst.

My Humps. Enough said.

IMO. YMMV.

Srwooten, I'm glad she's loving the music, but it'll be interesting to see if it's as much fun for you guys to hear your, say, 4-year old daughter sing along with 'My Humps' in a few short years.

I don't doubt that they put on an amazing show. And Fergie is hot as hell.

I'll take Lady Gaga over the 'Peas any day...seriously she's far more entertaining.:)

If you like the music check out the man behind it: David Guetta.
