Voting Trends

I suppose just as it is in every day, many who are given the power/ability to vote usually do not need it. Just think of the poor political outcomes over the years which is not due to some major conspiracy by anyone's government but rather the lack of information of the voters responsible for the outcome.

Tonight I came across a submission here on NewGrounds that shocked me in a sense. Girl in Love by hania. And since I've brought it up, I'll of course give you a link: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /107443

The thing I found so shocking was that the rating on this submission, at the time of this post, is 3.85. I honestly cannot see a reason to have music like this rated anything other than a 5.00. To rate it lower would imply there is something wrong, something to be desired, something that just isn't good enough and I honestly don't see how anyone could truly believe such a thing.

It's unfortunate that anyone with a NewGrounds account can vote on submissions, regardless of what they know about the artform itself. People who couldn't stand to listen to classical composures for more than a few minutes but would idolize more modern bands even to the point of calling any and/or all of the members musical geniuses... It certainly is a bit absurd.

Anyone can like music, but to appreciate it... this takes a real artist and musician.
C'mon NewGrounds, don't vote if you don't understand it. Leave the judgement to those who are here to appreciate the art.
