WTF is wrong with music today??

Kendrick Lamar, among others, is great. There is plenty of quality out there.

 

Such as? Post a few links then.

 

He's alright but nothing special, at least not yet.

What else?

 

i find all I want on Spotify. There are forums that can search too. You are doing a good job of proving the lazy theory.

 

As are you of proving your ****ty taste in music theory.

There's so much quality you can't even post a youtube link of a new song you like? And I'm lazy

 

I already admit that I have ****ty taste in music. I do know what I like and how to find it.

 

Doesn't that only further prove that music is getting worse for those of us who don't have ****ty taste?

 

No, the sample size is way too small.

 

When's the last time anyone heard a hiphop album that they could listen to 80% of the songs without skipping any?

 

how many albums from the 80s can you do that with?

 

Don't know without looking but I'd bet a good amount.

I just asked a question, stop being so defensive.

 

touchy, i just answered your question with a question. don't blow a gasket.

I know how children your age are with the XBox Live. Soon you will be all, "Momma give me some f$%$$ chocolate milk!"

 

I'm with Dupree. There is still quality music in this generation. I like it.

 

That's bull****.

The problem is that the good stuff isn't promoted the way the crap is now.

I listen to music from the 40's right through the 90's and find that alot of what was popular wasn't bad at all. The 00's sucked *** and this decade isn't starting off much better.

And for rock music it's a wasteland. You have to dig pretty deep to find the good stuff.

 

lol You're the only one acting like a child here.

 

Agree. Save for a small group of bands, I've heard next to no quality rock music since the very early 00's.

 

better acting like a child than grandpa simpson

 

I know, I wish I was younger so I could have a self-admitted ****tier taste in music. What a shame.

 

That couldn't be further from the truth. The main three of John, Paul and George, all grew up dirt poor in Liverpool which was a hellhole in England in the 50's. They were self made musicians with no formal training. Hardly "nerds".

 

you gotta dig for it, but it's there...

 

The term nerd has nothing to do w/money. When they first came out, the Beatles looked and acted like nerds.

 

Such as?

 

Anyone who has created music since I was like...ten is my generation of music. Yes I can find good music from a FEW bands that are producing music now. That isn't my point. The point is that the type of music my generation will be known for is flat out terrible.

Nickelback is one of the biggest bands today. Case closed.

 

disco. You lose.

 

Stayin alive, stayin alive...ah ah ah ah ah.....

Obviously there was bad music then too, the ratio was just better

 

I would take the Bee Gees over Nickelback 100% of the time. And it's not even close.

 

I don't know. I think some of whats considered great today had time to make it great. So I'll wait before I call everything today crap.....

 

and the other 50 billion disco bands?

 

"WTF is wrong with music today?" Every generation has asked that about the music that comes out. That will never change. My dad still hates the rock music I grew up listening to, and my grandmother STILL thinks Elvis did nothing but promote sex, like the Beatles promoted drugs with their 'noise.' Just go with what you like and leave the rest to everybody else.

 

I honestly can't even think of any off the top of my head.

Not like there wasn't other good music out there while disco was going on though.

 

Oh I don't think everything today is crap. Just that there is MORE crap. Its all very subjective anyway right?

 

right.........which is why I think it'd be pretty hard to prove that there is more crap today then before as every era has had its crap trends and its good stuff. Today for instance you have a huge influx of progressive rock bands, which I'd put up against a lot of the older bands, but we also have our boy band bs. We just don't really have a "led zeppelin" type band today.

 

To an extent. But as someone who listens to a lot of different music, I'm just not seeing that quality in any of the genres I frequent (hip hop and rock esp). And it's not like it's only been a few years. Been closer to a decade or so now.

 

Aqua4ever04 and I highly disagree! <--- Lol speaking for him there.

 

I watch this ****ty family guy clip and think WTF is wrong with cartoons these days?

 

IDK Family Guy isnt to be taken seriously. It's not a cartoon for kids obviously. It's just the product of a hilariously demented mind.

Tell me Bugs didn't get what was coming to him.

 

Gary Clark Jr. is as good a blues guitarist as there has ever been, and the Black Keys are a all-time great band. They both released albums within the last year.

Then you search among their genre on Pandora and you stumble upon many more.

 

Oh I know it shouldn't be taken seriously. I just don't like it and I know I'm in the minority. Just can't stand Seth MacFarlane.

 

black keys are catchy. I don't know about all time great.
otis taylor is a great great blues guy.

 

The Black Keys have albums you can listen to all the way through and pick up different nuances from each song each time. They are currently on a streak that only all-time great bands get on.
