Old music vs New music

I'm more of a rap person and the best rap can pretty much be found in the 90s, now it's pretty much garbage. I blame the target audience at that though. Right now it's all poppy dance ****, although there are some good albums put out from time to time.

I like both

I love punk and punk was only punk in the 70's and early 80's. Also I'm of the opinion that the best reggae comes from the 60's to 80's so if thats old then geriatric me up.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a genre that existed before/during the 80s, and that I would consider in better shape now.

I think there's still a very large amount of good music still out there; unfortunately a lot of it has been obfuscated by record companies attempting to cater to perceived trends and popularity.

I picked new just to piss you off. Truth is I don't have a preference. I love music from the 60's just as much as the stuff out now.

Calling all "new music" terrible is a gross and awful generalization. How can you possibly make that claim when bands like animal collective, radiohead, arcade fire, modest mouse (although their most recent album wasn't their best work, but stuff like Lonesome Crowded West is absolutely amazing), and neutral milk hotel are all considered "new"? Sure, a lot of crap exists today, but this was the case back during the time of the "old" music. You are simply just seeing the past with all the outsounding music highlighted by years of exposure.

Old music by a long shot.

Let's see some new bands hold up against Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica and Anthrax.

Simple answer, they can't.

Anthrax (formed 1981)

Metallica (formed 1981)

Judas Priests (formed 1969)

Iron Maiden (formed 1975)

Megadeth (formed 1983)

Those are allnew bands. Let´s see those hold up against Chuck Berry, The Big Bopper, Chubby Checker, Danny and the Juniors, Bobby Darin, Bo Diddley orThe Drifters.

Simple answer, they can't.

Christ. This thread is going to go spiral out of control soon once the metal heads join in.

define "old". Does 80's to 90's music count as old or new?

Before you make up your mind. Watch these music videos. Old: Crazy train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbPWcLode0 Here comes the sun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZtQh5EIgWQ DmadFearmonger

ALL decades have both good and bad music and I wouldn't want to limit myself....in addition old vs new is rather a vague label.

What's new music? KHAndAnime

example.

I'll have to go with old music, espically around the 70s. Music is a bit depressing now, not that it's bad, just depressing. Everyone that isn't a pop/rock band takes up a super serious attitude, so obssesed with getting their point across, usually something ridiculous and cliched like, "Oh the music industry is evil." So evil in fact that itproduced your albums for you, something which you couldn't be bothered to do. Other times it's just songs about things that are just plain depressing, like drug addiction. I just don't find it that entertaining to listen to thatwhen the sole purpose of the song is to depress me.

Old music.

Nothing beats The Beatles! :D

Better Example. :D

All decades have good music though. My personal taste is mostly 90's - 00's though.

Older music.

New music has some amazing creations but they can't compete with Billie Holiday or Thelonious Monk.

In other words, new.

In general, I like newer (as in 90's and later) music, but every decade has had good and bad music so I find generalizing very difficult. I would rather not limit myself to some vague label like new or old.

I don't limit myself. There is plenty of good modern music, and plenty of good stuff from the past. Mostly 80's stuff :)

I personally don't like new music, unless it's a band that is releasing new material, yet they've been around for a while.metallica_fan42

Both Metallica and Anthrax are new music D:

I enjoy more older music than new, it takes so much effort to find good music nowadays.

You can't compare something like this without looking like a total **** It all depends on your taste.

Okay, if by 'old' you mean before the 00s, then yeah, I'd say I listen to more 'old' music than 'new'. But if you mean 'old' as before the 90s, then I listen to more 'new' music than 'old'.

I have no preference, though.

Old. Today, no band can compare to Led Zeppelin.
