Why Is Most Music So Bad Today?

There's a slew of music out there to listen to, you just have to find it. If you cant find it through someone else, do what you can to create it.

 

and by a slew of music, I mean a slew of GOOD music. It's easy to lose hope though, when you just scratch at the surface (the ugly music you speak of).. Keep looking =).

 

no one needs to say anymore i agree with this 100%.

 

Widespread Panic

 

i dont its that music is so bad today, i think its that mainstream music is so bad today

 

mainstream has always been bad, you just werent around to hear all the crap that was being played...all you hear are the truly classics of the era, the ones worth replaying 30-50 years later.
Music is and artists create. I guarantee you the best song ever written was never recorded and no one remembers hearing it.

 

90s mainstream was way way better than current mainstream though

and noone in my generation remembers half of the great bands that were famous in the 90s
I'll bring up Stone Temple Pilots and people will go "huh?"

 

Quoted for truth.

When MTV came around people became extremely lazy. Everyone seems to be mentioning led zeppelin, do you suppose they got a lot of tv time prior ot making it big? or even after that? Music wasn't advertised in those days like it is now.

Also, if you're too lazy to go out and support your local bands, atleast try searching around Soundclick or myspace for good bands.

 

Today is like the fifties before Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Elvis. Total crap like "How Much is that Doggie in the Window" back then. The business has always been money driven, but today it has reached crisis proportions. You know, really, the first waking up was Hank Williams sound back then. It really wasn't country. I consider him the first pre-rocker.

 

'Cause it's got no soul, man.

 

Because people betrayed Grunge.

 

Good black metal, doom-death metal and funeral doom are still being made so no one has ANY right to say nowadays' music sucks. YOU ARE JUST LISTENING TO THE WRONG MUSIC.

 

But where's the Grunge?

 

Varg Vikernes killed it, then ate it alive and subsequently set it on fire.

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

 

Who is that? And why?

 

This is the little rascal. You don't know Count Grishnack?

Not all music's bad today, but if you don't want to look further it just seems to be. Grunge hasn't killed anything though.

 

Grunge killed Hair Metal I wrote alot of songs, and I play the guitar ... but noone wanted to start a Grunge band with me.

 

Hair metal just got old, just like grunge. Those genres killed themselves. Rock 'n roll is here to stay, oh yeah, and heavy metal. It just evolved, and not in nu metal, indie, grunge or alternative.

 

Grunge isn't dead to me ... Lyrics and sound is distinctive in Grunge, there IS a signifying difference in the music.

 

It's deader then (good) punk.
