I am a young man, yet I go to watch bands in their 60's and even 70's.

Is this some sort of ****** thing?
And of course there will always be some sort of decent music being created somewhere, but that isn't the point of this topic.

Other than the insanely charismatic stage presence of the frontman, Future Islands is unremarkable. Their music isn't doing anything interesting. There is nothing remotely "fresh" about it. The same can be said for pretty much all music today and going back to the turn of the century. Music stopped evolving. When you have an artform where innovation has ended, then the art has died. There is simply no point in listening to Future Islands or any other modern act. Sounding pleasant isn't enough. We already have 60 years of popular music that sounds pleasant, and by groups that don't suck. Your time is better spent listening to that than wasting it on contemporary losers with marginal talent.

The new music on MTV is awful.

Do people actually seriously listen to absolute garbage like this? I mean what the **** is it even supposed to be? Is is some sort of joke?
THIS is what rap music used to sound like:

It's soulless. The music industry now plucks its stars from the Disney Channel rather than allowing people to forge their own way as they did in the sixties, seventies, and eighties.
Voices are uniform, too polished and perfect, without any grit; back in the rock era, singers were unique to themselves and brought their own voices to the table. Some of the greatest singers weren't great singers at all - Roger Waters and David Bowie come to mind. They weren't the best in a technical sense, but they were still incredible musicians whose influence on the world is unmatched. They had emotion, soul, a sense of individuality.
In that regard, songs were as different as their artists; there was no specific sound to be achieved, save for satisfying the trends of the era.
In short, we've traded individuality and soul for polish and perfection.

— 7 years ago(August 18, 2018 12:14 PM)It seems like people hate people from Generation X who had "talent," like they "must be" the bad guys. People are just trying to be popular.
I am doing violin now and my teachers never had me polish my work, and, so, thinking nothing of it, I quit and teach myself.
