Urban Dictionary lets us know "What Hurts the Most"

"What hurts the most, was being so close. And havin' so much to say." -What Hurts the Most, Kidz Bop 11

Urban Dictionary may be Webster's less intelligent and cruder brother, but like bloggers vs. journalists, its definitions and voice has something to say and prove. Here are some definitions of Kidz Bop, approved by many followers.

kidz bop: The soccer mom's attempt to make most of today's music suitable for young children. This leads to butchering good songs or making crappy ones even worse. These travesties of music are commonly advertised on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon and are sold on CDs and tapes to unwitting customers.

kidz bop: The end of music, or at least good music, as we know it. This is the franchise of CDs with hit songs that are horribly remade by children and others. It is an insult to the artists who make the original songs that are remade by these people. These remade songs are despicably horrid and sound so bad that they make people literally want to destroy something. One cannot stand a Kidz Bop song.

We often discount not-so-credible sources, like Urban Dictionary, but I find that like angry blogging mothers, there's something to be said about people who care. Someone took the time to write something nasty on the web site and a lot of people took the time to look up the definition and create an opinion. It looks like 681 people agree (unless people like both definitions, we could possibly have some overlapping...but that's besides the point) with this movement of hatred toward Kidz Bop. So can we say that Urban Dictionary is a complete waste of time?
