Face it. You came from the era of watching MTV day in and day out. Those were the bands you supported. Prince was one of them. Kids of today don't check for MTV to get their music like you now-thirtysomethings used to do when you guys were teens and young adults. The kids have moved on to myspace, p2p downloading, all that. They have much more music to listen to than ever before. Many of you are scared to embrace the iPod and mp3 players, not because they're killing the album or music or whatever, it's because you're GETTING OLD. You are (or have) turned into your parents. You're not hip with the kids of today. They have outpaced you. I see a lot of posts on this board blaming the kids for the state of today's music. Well shit, it had to start somewhere. THE MTV GENERATION (i.e. all you folks over 30) that generation is the reason why music is what it is today for better or for worse. And lets not act like the 1970s and 1980s were ALL GOOD MUSIC, ALL THE TIME because we know that's a fucking lie. There will always be good music around. Music didn't die when you grew up. Let's accept it and move forward. [Edited 8/15/06 11:49am] I predict that one day you too will be old. You will have age defying plastic surgery - nips, tucks, extensions, retractions, detractions, injections - but you WILL think that the the music that is spilling out from evetry available media outlet as an old, slightly hard of hearing cantakerous registered Republican is crap, and that it was way better when you didn't look like Michael Jackson circa 2006 AD.   There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

AquafineDream said: OK 70's babies
We get it. Yes the DISCO SUCKS movement didnt exist. Everything in the 1970s was made of gold. All albums in the 1980s are masterpieces. Every single solitary thing to come out of the decades of your youth are all that matter in the world of music. we get it. thank you. The "Disco Sucks" movement did exist. However, it happened because rockers were pissed because disco was outselling their music at the time and was a threat to their own sales. They had to do something to stop it. Besides that issue, there was a lot of racism and homophobia involved with a lot of disco's haters because the majority of disco was made by black artists and getting regular airplay on white stations. Also, the music was very well loved by gay people and it remained in the gay underground even after it was officially labelled "dead". I absolutely loved disco but, whether you like disco or not, there is no comparison to it and today's music. Disco was original music made from the ground up....and it was certainly danceable. Today's music is a stripped down boring ass "opera tempo" beat that sounds like it was made from a $40 Casio keyboard and mixed in samples of old songs. Disco was actual "music", this shit today is "noise". As much as I hate country music, and believe me, I hate it....at least country artists have the talent to sing and play instruments (even if it ain't my cup of tea) which is more than I can say for shit hop. The "disco sucks" movement was senseless but if today's listeners had any sense, they would hold a "hip hop sucks" movement because that's a movement that certainly needs to happen. . .

A generation from now, there will be other things dominating sales charts and radio airplay and the current generation will think it sucks. | |

SoulAlive said: but keep in mind that many of us grew up in an era where we actually had REAL MUSIC.I'm talking about melodies,real basslines,distinct chord changes,real drummers playing real drums,horns,etc (hey,what a concept,huh?).Many of us come from an era where people didn't sample.In fact,sampling was unheard of in the 50s,60s and 70s.Many of us come from an era where we had REAL PRODUCERS who knew how to make music (check out my Gamble and Huff thread).I'm sorry,but folks like Jermaine Dupri and P.Diddy are not "producers" by any stretch of the imagination.In fact,they should be called "programmers" because all they really do is program beats,cheap Casio synth lines and samples.
Very good points here. This over-the-hill 31-year-old often wonders if part of the reason that this generation accepts the vapid, repetitive, uninspired nonsense that passes for music today is that they haven't grown up on REAL music. Many of these kids refer to R. Kelly and Jodeci as old school. For our generation, old school was groups like the OJays and the Isley Brothers or Led Zeppelin and Parliament. So when rap and new jack swing hit the scene, we accepted them for what they were, but still had a reference point for real music. We grew up hearing real music on the radio. We knew what a real guitar, bass, horns, drums, strings, etc. sounded like. They don't. They've grown up on overprocessed, programmed crap. So as the saying goes..."garbage in, garbage out." perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

Kiss and The Rolling Stones really pissed them off and so did Blondie and Rod Stewart.
And just so all of your know, Disco only "die" in America (except for Chicago because the genre was reinvented with the creation of House).
Very true. The very first time I heard house music in the mid 1980s, I immediately said "This is just modern disco with less lyrics". Disco was still alive in Europe under the genre name of Italo Disco (invented within the same era as New Wave & Synthpop).
I've been in clubs and heard songs that sounded like disco. I asked people when the songs were made and they said in the early 1980s so disco definately lived underground. When I first heard Shannon's "Let The Music Play",in 1984, I felt kind of a disco-like presence on the song and that was above ground on mainstream R&B radio. Even the mainstream funk of the early 1980s was affected by the previous disco era. The funk had a faster tempo, less jazz influence, and was very danceable. For aqua-whoever to compare disco to today's music in terms of sucking is totally rediculous. A lot of us complain about today's music because it's not original. Whether someone liked the way disco sounded or not, the songs were definately original and they were actual "songs" instead of a beat, a sample, and someone "talking". I love disco, funk, and rock but I can respect genres I don't like such as country, opera, symphonies, classical, folk, etc. because the artists do have talent...they just aren't making the kind of music I like. Hell, I even acknowledge the fact that ole Shitney Houston is a talented singer even though I hate her music with a passion. However, I have no respect whatsover for today's R&B because the artists have no talent or originality (whether I like the music or not). . . . .

As I recall it it - and I was in my twenties during the 70's - the problem was a lot of disco did suck. Sure you had Donna Summer and the Bee Gees and Diana Ross making great disco music in the mid-70's but you also had Beethoven disco and disco duck and a lot of shitty shitty disco before it got better. Early 70's disco was often crappy and did suck. I went to gay clubs because it was the only place to dance in the 70's in the mid-west & the music had a beat & that was it. Don't romantize disco - much of it did suck. | |

Yeah, there were stupid disco songs such as "Disco Duck" and old farts like Ethel Merman and Barbara Streisand jumped on the bandwagon also (I wish Barbara Streisand would do a shit hop song and help kill that genre) but there were also tons of great disco songs. Everyone knows there is good and bad in every genre but in today's music there is NO good and ALL bad (and I do not mean "bad" meaning good). Also, even the worst disco songs were original songs made from the ground up and not a beat, a bunch of damn samples, and talking. . . [Edited 8/18/06 14:57pm] Andy is a four letter word. | |

The 70s & 80s had some shite music as well but the worst of the 80s seems to be miles above the best of the current generation's music. Let's be honest here. There's no Prince, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Sting, Patti LaBelle, Cameo, Gap Band, Funkadelic, Stevie Vai, David Lee Roth, Frankie Knuckles, Stanley Clarke, Isley Brothers, Def Leppard, Kate Bush, Herbie Hancock, Chic Corea and not even a Maddona coming out of today's music scene.

Technology is here but who cares? Why bother trying to be a REAL star when everybody is downloading your music for free and you can't perform without a damn track playing in the back and when you do you look like someone from a high school talent show? You can blame the generation before you for Mtv but in reality, the sorry-assed hype generation sucks because you sensitive little bitches can't take criticism. Everyone believes they are great these days. All they have to do is find enough opinions to support them. The truth is YOU SUCK and you're too lazy to get better, not interested enough to set goals, too cheap to go buy music, too self-centered to spend time on anything that doesn't involve you benefitting in some way and not honest enough with yourselves to realize that the world really doesn't give a damn about you. Yes, you're fat. No, you're not nearly as good as you think your are. No, you don't have "IT". Yes, you need to practice more. No, your opinion is NOT important to anyone else. No, you're not as pretty as "fill-in-the-celeb-name-blank" and even if you are it doesn't mean shit. You still can't sing. Yes, your guitar playing sucks and your songs are boring. No, rapping does not take as much talent as singing and your songs fade out because there's no melody to remember them by. Swallow on that reality, since you all like reality so much. Oh SHIT!

Agree, I got back into rap for the first time since I was 20 and now love it. Also I picked up my long term affair with Prince when I got to 29 after 7 yeras, so all forward. If anything I listen a lot more to 70s and 80s like Genesis, Bowie and classic Prince but I like the Black eyed peas and Creed as well and are quite eager whenever Madonna does another single. I am also avidly following Kanye WEst. But too I feel if anything I appreciate music more when I was 20, I listen to all the same stuff but more. I love soul, funk, Prince prog rock, hair metal, church organ, opera, Erik Sate, Edward Elgar, Genesis, Jay Z and well if anything age just makes music more exciting. Theres just so much great music out there to be discovered 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

The truth of the matter is I speak about YOU (and not include myself in the mix) because *I* am not a regular poster on this board. A majority of the muthafuckas on here are over 30 and you reak of your age in your slackerfied/generationX ass posts. Let's face it. Now, if you want to blame the kids (which you muthafuckas always tend to do on this board) then riddle me this... what DO YOU KNOW about REGANOMICS. Cutting music programs from schools in the 80s, the height of the drug trade in the 70s and 80s, the rise of gang violence. The music of the 90s and 00s reflects all of that shit that went down in generations prior. It didn't fuckin drop from the sky. Yall heads act like these kids today just decided to come around and fuck up. WHO IS IN POWER RIGHT NOW IN THE INDUSTRY? OLDER FOLKS. WHO ARE THE ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS of these reality shows and the ones who are directors of creative programming. it's muthafuckas over 30, but yet you PUT IT ON THE KIDS? No. The kids are reacting and are creating their own shit. This is a new era. And then you say the lack of disclipine of this generation. hell, the rappers of the 80s didn't even pick up fucking instruments. the hair bands back then had no fucking discipline. that argument you're dishing out is nonsense. because the truth of the matter is folks over 30 are the reason why the music is "sucking" today because IT'S ALL IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD. 2. read what I said about folks over 30 running and controlling the A&R chairs of radio and the programming of music channels. kids under fucking 25 dont have massive control like that. how the hell are they able to even make that much of an influence on what gets played on the radio here. people over 30 are disproportionately responsible for the way music is today. the kids as i have seen it are taking matters into their own hands and music is much more independent these days. kids are still making and creating music, it may not be with the funk instruments rick james 'n em used, but its music nonetheless. if you're not with it, its sheerly because they're on some other shit. the kids of today have their own tastes, just like you had yours. deal with it. 3. you're basing a lot of that on your own world view and i can tell that you're a cat over 30. face it. yall love to give out a laundry list of who was hot and this and that, but if you face the realities of it these folks that you're calling hot now WERENT CONSIDERED SHIT AND NOT EVEN TRUMPED UP LIKE THAT five to ten years after they put out their debuts. everything else you're hitting on is already summed in my other points. face the fact that you're over 30, embrace it, and age gracefully. bottomline. Well if you look at things that way then you can blame every generation for something. My problems are basically from this generation are the following. One would be the lack of diversity in what is put out there, whether it be Movie, Tv, or music. Everytime a Movie comes out its a remake, and usually of something from the 80's. Another problem with this generation is you seem to have to be 15-18 to get played, its all about what you look like today, thats why even if you like an artist, theres no loyality, they are here today gone tomorrow. Also people that work at Labels are fresh out of college, with their degrees in nothing running and working there, so they are not even close to 30's. Do i really care about this generation, honestly no, because growing in the 70's -80's, i learned do everything for yourself and stop worrying about whos gonna save you. This generation holds protests because they cant carry their "Cell Phones" in the classrooms, when you should be protesting against one of the many things this country is doing wrong, but i guess that kind of mentality disappeared long ago, today we protest materila things like "Cell Phones" and "cristal" wow great stands to take. Hear hear, I remember in our day, the most popular kid was the one with a hand held video game, sony walkman and a brand new cassette of the latest Van Halen album. The 80s ruled none of this cellphone shit, altho I remember the cat who had a computer with taipan or Donkley Kong on it was the shit (Born 1976, at school 1982-1994) Memories here 1985, 86, 87 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

Speak for what you know and for your goddamn self, grandpas!
I'm 23(will be 24 this October), I'm already hipped to the stuff an over 60 years old music listener would find appealing. Don't need to shoot my mouth about it(and those of you who know me, knows what type of music scene I'm involved in). It ain't my fault that a bunch of people around me aquire a shitty morning taste(Yep, including some of the OLD HEADS too, believe it or not). It really depends on what you PERSONALY dig. Its not an age thing or even a goddamn generational thing, its a PERSONAL thing. Its beyond me how some of these so-called "wisdom carriers" GROUP all the youngsters in a box and then judge 'em for being lazy and careless about their supposed-knowledge and taste, when those same old fools were judged @ one point of their lives for what they dug. Watch out! some of these youngsters might know a WHOLE lot more than what you're trying to keep up with. Snotty know-it-all hoes  [Edited 9/10/06 4:10am] | |

Oh and AquafineDream
I'd like to take the time to thank you for such a brave post. Some of these old ass 'monks' wouldn't have the guts to confront themselves in such a manner like you did. Instead, they'll point the finger instead of doing something about it. Ever wonder why kids don't give a bum's corn anymore? How else you're going to act if there's a constant judging on you; how you behave, how you talk, your taste and the whole shebang. Not knowing that ALOT of these young bucks are different from each other. | |

Face it. You came from the era of watching MTV day in and day out. Those were the bands you supported. Prince was one of them. Kids of today don't check for MTV to get their music like you now-thirtysomethings used to do when you guys were teens and young adults. The kids have moved on to myspace, p2p downloading, all that. They have much more music to listen to than ever before. Many of you are scared to embrace the iPod and mp3 players, not because they're killing the album or music or whatever, it's because you're GETTING OLD. You are (or have) turned into your parents. You're not hip with the kids of today. They have outpaced you. I see a lot of posts on this board blaming the kids for the state of today's music. Well shit, it had to start somewhere. THE MTV GENERATION (i.e. all you folks over 30) that generation is the reason why music is what it is today for better or for worse. And lets not act like the 1970s and 1980s were ALL GOOD MUSIC, ALL THE TIME because we know that's a fucking lie. There will always be good music around. Music didn't die when you grew up. Let's accept it and move forward. [Edited 8/15/06 11:49am]  you jutht wait until i find my teef, young man!!!! i goth plenty to thay on thith topic you whipperthnapper, you!!!! | |
