This is honestly just a bad take. If you don't hear any music currently that doesn't sound the way you like it then you aren't looking in the right places. More music is being produced now than any other time in history, blanketly saying "all music now sucks" shows more about you then the current state of music.
Yeah I agree with you. I’m 40 now but grew up listening to music all the time. I’ve got a bunch of kids now so it’s hard to actively find new stuff on my own. I just subscribe to satellite radio and they do a pretty damn good job of finding good stuff. I just add to my library, and get more recommendations. Works well.
That's good! I'm in my mid thirties and I'm always reminding myself "new music doesn't suck, trends change". Just like how our parents hated our music because it was edgy and different, current music is edgy and different to them and that's what makes it appealing to the younger crowd. I don't understand why people have to be so cliche and shit on music, you can both not like a type of music and still not make fun of people who like that music.
lol I shit on music? I made fun of someone? Seriously? Please, please point out where. I made a statement about personal taste, that wasn’t directed at anyone in particular.
I also pointed out something everyone that’s shitting on me (yes you too) missed. The organic nature of music is gone. The organic sound and feeling have been replaced by drum tracks, auto tune and digital all the things are gone.
I promise it’s not a “music is so hardcore/edgy now” thing. That would be rich though.
I understand what you mean, it's a reasonable conclusion for anyone to come to.
sorry if I came off as shitting on your finly crafted retort.
baby metal is awesome.
have you heard the hu yet?
Mongolian metal.
That's another reason I am thinking niche music has killed the cover band.
There's no way a band can cover a wide enough range of todays music to make a $5 ticket viable.
