In Spinner – Moby Says Ke$ha and Britney Spears Songs Shouldn’t Be Called ‘Music’

Moby states the following opinion of Ke$ha’s and Britney Spears’ music:

“”It’s fun, but I don’t think of it as music,” he says. “It’s manufactured. I appreciate it as pop culture phenomenon and some of the songs I like if I hear them in a shopping mall or something, but it doesn’t function as music for me.”

“Music is something that communicates emotion and integrity in a really interesting, direct way,” he says. “And when I listen to the pop music you’re describing, it’s hyper-produced corporate product. That isn’t really even a criticism, but I just think calling it music is a misnomer.”

“It’s advertising for ringtones.”
