Why music sucks in bars? Big question! It's that, one more time, I went out with some friends, we went to a few bars. To each bars its ambiance, there was the one "pub" style, with its dark wooden scenery and its Guiness. The one in the old town with old rocks, tight corridors and its cheap blond beer. After, we found a more fashionable one, big flat screens hanging on the walls, the younger attendance, the entry queue and the old cocktails made with new brands. Finally, the club, an average one, with clients a little bit older than me.
I can now come back to my first sentence. All those places, as different as they were, had in common, at least the night I was there, to provide the same auditive content, read music. Like it or not, you guessed, I didn't like it. Well, I found out that I talk about music on this blog, those who are following should have some ideas about my tastes. The problem with the music that I heard that night is not that it was really of a bad taste, indeed some songs I liked. What deranged me, it was the "music library" which was just aiming to seduce the maximum number of people, not to hurt anybody, but to seduce the mass. Every songs heard that night had already a few years behind them, they already had their success. Above all, the worst was that their style was not consistent, they switched from rock to disco, from "long hairs and dead skull" to "gloss and glitter".
If it was not to spend some time with my friends and have some drinks, I could have had a bad night. It pains me a little, I have a tendency to dislike "what everybody likes", pure contradictory spirit, but I have to think of other places to go out in Lausanne, where I could have some drinks and redo the world.
For those who are interested, I was talking about the Brasserie du Château, the Girafe, the Darling and the Zinc.
