the music of today

music is so horrible today and people will be influenced by this shit and produce even worser music... well maby not all music is bad today, theres probally a few underground bands that are amazing and we dont even know about... but yeah everything mainstream sucks

 

hey! sonic youth played in italy reacently and critic said that they were excellent, best of all groups who were preforming! cool huh? YEAH!!!!

 

yea sonic youth is cool... but alittle of subject huh?

 

EVERY DECADE HAS HAD IT'S SHARE OR RADIO FRIENDLY CRAP. THE 60'S IS NO EXCEPTION.

 

If your pissed of then start a band.

 

it's all about money. "artists" of today are walking marketing products...i.e. i saw a reebook (whatever it's spelt) billboard near my house and it was a picture of a trainer and around it there were all these names of famous rappers like 50 cent, and all them...I was like, well, it's sad for people who actually like their music and are influenced by it, cos there's no message, no content...just buy these trainers cos 50 cent wears them. pathetic.

 

for your information....... im in a band

 

and we are better than any mainstream artist today

 

The 70s had disco, the 80's had shitty synth pop, the 90s had rap and boy bands, every era will have its mainstream crap.

 

good point.
You just have to dig a little deeper to find good bands, and turn off the radio and pretend the tacky ones dont exist.

 

There's a bloody shitload of good music today, one just has to look for it.


Manu Chao, Splin, Mumentrol, some songs by Modest Mouse, etc, etc, etc.

 

there were styles for every era- 40's were.. you know, kinda buisnissy proper, (i know i spelled businessy wrong), 50's were poodle skirts and such, 60's were hippie and flowers, 70's kinda followed except more.. orange shag carpets, 80's cut up t-shirts and leg warmers, 90's a combination of all of the previous along with lots of bright colors and cheap plastic, and today.. whatever the media would like to share with us

 

Personally, i think the biggest problem with modern music is that no new bands have any of the unique characteristics that classic rock bands did, and if they do, they aren't very positive.

Zeppelin=the most incredible white male vocalist/guitarist ever
Jethro Tull=almost a renaisance thing goin on
the doors=lyrics
the dead=groove
floyd=acid

whereas modern bands have turntables... and umm... that one band has a crappy electric violin player

 

well i agree the stuff on tv sucks but dont cancel all mainstream out thats just wrong.. There is amazing modern bands out there just turn off the tv and you might discover them.


peace
chickens

 

YEs Im going to double post and you know what sucks.. Is that All the good musicians and bands whatever are working their asses off and they never get noticed but if you have tatoos and a broken heart your signed... OH and if you play a crappy violin too.

peace
chickens

 

dont forget tight jeans with rips and aviators:H and leather and denim jackets.

 

I tried to watch the top 20 videos the other day, but it was all crap, so I turned off the TV and put on some Flaming Lips

 

yes, mainstream music sucks, but there are many good underground bands

 

well i like Velvet Revolver, but thats my opinon, but the rest does suck. peace, love, and rock n' roll

 

I personally think there's just as much good music today as there's ever been. The vast majority of the stuff I hear on the radio is utter crap, but even that's a biased opinion.... I can't remember the last time I even listened to the radio! Most people just haven't heard of them... Cursive, Guided by Voices, Pavement (and the Jicks as well), Polvo, John Spencer Blues Explosion all come to mind.... I also think that many of the "Grunge" bands will be what our kids are in awe of 20 years from now.
