RIP music.

Does anybody agree that all the talent, emotion and quality of music has been on the decline since the 1980-1990's?

Not for me. Depends if you are just stubborn and don't want to move on from the "classics"

Overall music isn't dying but, mainstream is utter crap. Prime Examples: Slipknot, Disturbed, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, *insert mainstream rap and hip hop artists here*

They are both mainstream and I'd like to flip things and give Slipknot the nod while kicking Disturbed in the teeth :shock:

[QUOTE="Y2Jfan23"] Slipknot never really made it to the radio so they ain't mainstream. They do suck tho. Disturbed is a great band. And there's alot of mainstream music out there that's good. I listen to rap rock and country and there's stuff out right now in all genres I like. LJS9502_basic

No. You can only kick one band in the teeth. You can only kick the other one in the mask.

Not if you're open-minded. There's a lot of crap being released, but that's nothing new. Dig a little, there's bound to be something you like, even if it's not mainstream friendly.

Not for me. Depends if you are just stubborn and don't want to move on from the "classics"

So are you saying that I have to move on regardless of if I like that type of music or not? Thats why theres a decline, general society just "moves on through" music without saying what they think of musicand everyone just accepts it.

Also, everyone is just saying that I gotta "look in the right places". Thats what im saying is that when you have to look that hard to find decent music, somethings wrong.

That's the thing: you don't need to look that hard to find decent music. Just turn off the radio and check out last.fm for some recommendations of bands that you might actually like.

What I mean by "move on" is just a general thing. You know how there are people who love their Boston, Journey and such? Well they are left in the dust when it comes to that type of music today. So by "move on" I mean you can't expect a specific sound to be around for very long. If you want to keep enjoying music that is released to day you can't get lost in the past and just wish it would last forever.

Just look at your parents. Chances are they don't care for music today. In most cases they just halt at some decade and everything after means nothing to them.

Music these days is so meh, Phil Collins where are you in our moment of need!?

Nooooooooooooooooo!

I'm confused. Is Phil Collins supposed to be good or bad? I dig his stuff but when people talk about him it's very black and white.

to my point of view rock became crap like Marianas trench and pop is terrible. hiphop died. britney spears is wack, lady gaga no comment, MJ is dead pop died, kanye sings hip pop, Justin Beber wears lip stick, 3oh3 is sucks, Lil Wayne cant rap, soulja boy makes a fool out of him self, Drake is annoying, Taylor Swift is just wow, i dont like electronica (3oh3 type), Bob Marley is the best raggae artiste, . i dont like any of there music

good old school hiphop is my music and a little of the rock before it when screamo and made no sence

In the mainstream, certainly, but there are lots of gems if you look hard enough.

Phil Collins is good, he re-invented Genesis and released many hits both in the band and by himself.

BTNH did a Hip-hop cover of one of his songs "Home" which was pretty bad but it was funny to see Phil Collins himself boppin along in the vid.

Oh wow so many things wrong with this post, I'm not going to even bother.

I feel rather alienated from this current music scene. But I think that's more of an issue of not being exposed to it as much, rather than just an overall decline in the quality of the said popular music.

Its Mainstream Music thats dead.

No but I'm young and don't have a large interest in music made 20 years ago/

Searching through mainstream music looking for something audible is like searching through faeces looking for something edible.

Is the fruit of either search worth what's endured in the process?

Not trying to attack you but I think the garbage music is directed towards your age group (Im of the teenage persuasion also), and just because your young means you cant like music from two decades ago?

No, no, no he summed it all up.
