Science proves modern music sucks.

Sometimes I am on a walk and hear music up ahead . Well , very curious . One time I
thought it was a marching band warming up - nope - it was Tibetan monks playing along
the river bank .

 

It's not a choice for a lot of people. They're told what they are supposed to like, and they just go along with it without forming any actual opinions of their own.

In like 65 years of pop music, people are convinced only 15-20 bands are worth a damn.

 

Music is what you make of it, for none hears music without first listening to the silence. Music presents merely another choice we have between living our dreams, or living our nightmares, but a choice that resonates within the human psyche and soul.

 

Music is a universal language....

Birds singing is music, too.
Whale songs and so on.

but yes, I do like silence much of the time, too.

 

I don’t need science to tell me today’s music sucks, I have a set of ears to tell me that.

 

Uh huh, and how much of today's music do you listen to?

Name ten bands to debut in the last 15 years whose musical catalogues you've explored in depth.

 

Can you have music in a dream ? Sometimes I do , and it doesn't have to be interesting .
A friend of mine , though , spoke of dreaming an alien cat-faced creature who played a strange
lute instrument , and she could sit upon that planet and listen for the longest time . And I thought
she was very good in describing the music for us .

If modern music is just media-shit consumption ... so tedious . The science of it sucks .

 

It isnt hard to find great music these days, if anything I would say there's an oversaturation of good music and it can be difficult to decide what to listen to

But good music is no longer force fed to us on the radio. You have to go hunt for it and do a little digging

 

Vision takes up over a third of the brain, and can determine what you hear, not just what you might imagine you heard, but literally what you believe your ears are telling you, which can be totally different from the reality. All of our senses are cross-wired in this fashion, because music is not something you hear with just your ears, but within the sounds of silence within the human heart. If ya got no soul, ya just got no soul, and guilty feet ain't got no rhythm.

Louis Armstrong is an example of a musician with more soul than a dozen musicians, and I don't see anyone close to matching his soul on stage today, that isn't taking vitamin supplements.

 

Bad music has always existed.

TBH I get sick of older people bitching about how all new music sucks these days. They've been bitching the same phrases again and again, year after year.

There was plenty of horrid music in the good ol' days as well. (Itsy bitsy teeny weeny polkadot bikini comes to mind). It's just that shitty music from that era isn't remembered and played again and again like good classic songs worth remembering from that era.


My guess is they get old and forget the bad songs. When I get old, I hope to have forgotten a lot of shitty songs too.

 

10 Bands….....….OK


The Christ Killers
Ovulation Nation
The 6th State of Matter
Jubilant Hysterectomies
Weak Nuclear Force
Mind Your Own Fucking Business
Population Inversion
The Bose-Einstein Condensate
Resorption Abortion
Dream Achievers

 

If you limit your definition of radio to FM perhaps, but if you have a Satellite Radio service like Sirius or particularly Streaming Radio Services (Spotify, Pandora) then you don't even have to do any digging.

But perhaps for a lot of people music is inextricably tied to life experiences in a way and at a certain point they don't connect with it. Like I'm into some of the newer metal and I think it's Great Music but I have a feeling if I linked some of that stuff or referred op and some of the others not into newer metal to a pandora station of some of the stuff, they probably wouldn't enjoy it.

 

And based on those ten bands, you feel qualified to make the baknket statement that modern music sucks?

 

I hear MYOFB is kicking off their tour this Fall!!!

 

Considering the fact that I just made them up, YES

I'm uniquely qualified

 

I agree with both of your statements, but it was the second thing you said that lingered in the back of my mind when I considered posting some modern music to show that it wasn't all what people thought it was.

I think for a lot of people it's maybe high school or college or mid 20s--I'm not sure exactly--where they draw a line and almost decide they are not going to like any new music from here on out.

 

So, you can actually name ZERO bands?

Yeah, you're not exactly an expert on modern music, now are you?

 

If I’m not listening to sports while driving, I’m listening to music, and from what I’ve heard over the past 20 years I’m not impressed

 

Recorded music is artificially intelligent .

 

Soul in music is overrated.
