It's a good morning for me, after knowing that Liverpool beat Fulham 1-0 and managed to overtake Manchester United, at least for 24 hours, in Premier League table. As usual, I spent my time to read Kompas newspaper (online edition, of course). There was a article titled "Seperti D'Masiv, Itu Sudah!". Interested with this title, I went through the article and left astonished.
So what's the article all about?
It was about band competition, named "A Mild Live Wanted" (AMLW), who wished to find another group band from Indonesia. Two years ago, the organiser also organised the same thing, and eventually the winner was D'Masiv. And then, all the bands that participated in the AMLW 2009 wanted to follow the path of D'Masiv. They want stardom, they want to be D'Masiv. The organisers also told all the contestants to follow D'Masiv footsteps.
No offense, but D'Masiv is just the same old non-sense band from Indonesia. All their songs are monotonous, mellow, all about love, and just simply useless. However, I cannot understand why, why lots of Indonesians love their music, and other bands like Nidji, ST12,Kangen Band etc., which are similar to them.
I mean, come on man!, there are a lot of other musicians that can play much better than D'Masiv and other non-sense bands in Indonesia. For instance, there are numerous Indonesian musicians that can play music, where you all call 'pop', much better than them. You want love songs that can cheer you up? I can tell you! And the bottom line is, there are a lot of other kind of music that can make you happier, more excited, and more energised, other than mellow Indonesian pop!
It is quite sad, to know that a lot of Indonesians prefer this kind of music (and also dangdut). Do they know that this kind of music can be harmful to you? With such repeated themes of music (pop, love pop, malay pop, all non-sense), it can prevent you from creativity. And it is very sad, to listen from a lot of people that 'instrumental music' as 'boring music'. You do not know, that instrumental music can expand your musical borders. However, I cannot blame that. Majority(mellow pop) always outshine minority (instrumental).
Do Indonesians know, that all of them are victims from irresponsible Indonesian music producers. They want all the artist to satisfy their needs, by making love pop malay music, and throw them to the market. They do not want creative lads or musicality genius, they only want stupid love lyrics that can satisfy Indonesians, who loves that kind of music.

Indra Lesmana. I respect him so much as Indonesian musician. Foreigners can appreciate him, why we can't?
Come on guys, stop this kind of attitude. Please, stop from restricting yourself from this kind of music. There are other genres, of course smarter genre, such as classical, jazz, Indonesian traditional music, or even dedicated rock band. They are much more creative. I bet, quite a lot of you have not heard Indra Lesmana. He is one of the greatest Indonesian pianist, arguably one the best in Asia. You should treasure his music.
Please, please, stop Indonesian ordinary pop music that can make you die. Seriously, I found it that their music is really boring, kinda not creative and unattractive. You can contact me anytime to ask what is 'good music' sounds like. I would be happy to explain to you.
Sorry for being emotional, selfish, or mean. I just cannot bear anymore with this non-sense. I really do not want Indonesians stuck with this kind of music, without knowing there are a lot of good forms of music. Even, our traditional music is much more better than D'Masiv and co.
I do not want people recognised Indonesian music as D'Masiv or mellow pop, I want Indonesian music to be recognised as traditional, ethnic, ensemble-tight, classical, jazzy, and creative music
Thanks for reading.
D'Masiv. Sorry, I cannot find anything good from them.
