Melody????? What the heck are you talkin about???

In music, a melody, also tune, voice, or line, is a series of linear events or a succession, not a simultaneity as in a chord (see harmony). However, this succession must contain change of some kind and be perceived as a single entity (possibly Gestalt) to be called a melody
Thank you wikipedia.

To all the Indians out there, your definition of melodious music is, to put it mildly, bull!. It does not mean the mellow, mawkish and weepy tunes you love and approve of. I can picture most of my friends, including the self proclaimed 'Intellectuals' claiming that they prefer melodious music to the shouting and screaming of Rock(Sic). What these smug know-it-alls don't seem to realize is that Music, like all art will echo the human emotional range. The only limiting factor being the the artist's talent rather than the plasticity of the medium. The different genre, atleast in music, can be mapped to specific emotions. Frankly speaking, I prefer the complications of fury, rebellion, passion and freedom that Rock represents to the shallow, wimpy 'melodies' which proliferate in the Indian music scene. If they want to emulate somebody, why cant they emulate stuff like Greenday? Why do you have to go and emulate people like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. To all those who disagree, well, I think you either don't know what you're talking about or well, you are just full of shit! The next time I hear somebody saying'I prefer Melodies', I am going to punch that person in the mouth
