Im 31...born in '75...music impacted me at an early age....(wanted KISS 'Destroyer' and MJ's 'Off The Wall' when I was 4/5).... To hear Jodeci is old school makes me laugh....this generation is so fickle and move on to the next thing so fast that in a year from now...Gnarls Barkley will be music from 'back in the day'....I think it's sad....I just began to plan on buying an iPod only because I was against this generation that has no appreciation as to what goes into making an album...but then I think...well the industry is different now and it does not encourage us to grow with an artist anymore and frankly is scares me....I hope something comes down like a meteor and wakes up the industry so that we can once agian pay attention to artists and grow with them....I can dream cant I?? peace Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

Well, depending on your age and the era you grew up what would you call "Old school".? My formative years were the 80s, so old school to me would be anything 70s/80s. | |

true story Well, that is "old school" for her given her youth and age. What the hell do you want her to do? My advice to you: age gracefully. | |

Sure this is a Prince board, but there's no golden rule -- like a lot of you seem to have -- where the era of Prince and the 70s and 80s were the start of "good, worthwhile" music. That's gutter thinking. if you wanna be real about it, shit, most of the albums from the 1980s sucked and that decade was mostly singles driven. MTV was already killing the album during your generation, so let's not blame the young kids. Everyone is different and generations change. You not getting hip to the iPod doesn't necessarily mean that the state or the quality of the album has dwindled. It's just that this is 2006. Technology allows us to have things like mp3 players and you can still find relevent artists admist it all. Kids nowadays just dont rely on MTV like a lot of the 30 somethings on here used to do (that's why yall were called the MTV generation). Those days are over. Let's accept it and move forward.

[Edited 8/15/06 10:22am] The change with this generation is they have NO artists that matter. None. I mean absolutely positively N-O-N-E. They have no Miles Davis, no James Brown, no Mick Jagger, no Pete Townsend, no Barry White, no Louie Armstrong, no John Coltrane, no Grandmaster Flash, no Afrika Bambaataa, no MC Lyte, no Jimi Hendrix, no Lennon and McCartney, no Eagles, no Johnny Cash, no Ike and Tina Turner, no Billie Holiday, no Buddy Holly, etc etc and on and on and on and on. There are no more heavyweights that just knock you right the fuck over with their shit, and let you know in NO UNCERTAIN terms that being a human being is a VERY GOOD fucking thing, that experiencing music makes the drab bullshit parts of existence totally worthwhile. It is clear that we have, seemingly out of nowhere, entered a cultural Dark Ages. I had a ton of respect for the musicians of my parents generation and before them because they were fucking bad as hell and it was blatantly obvious they were bad as hell and they got mad fucking props from me and I was always since a little kid into music that was 20-30 years before my time. The same way AC/DC and Van Halen, and Michael Jackson, and Prince, and Madonna, and Run-DMC were equally bad as hell, in their own way. This generation - those under 30 or under 25 or thereabouts - they are the first young adult generation in post-War America to contribute NOTHING musically/culturally to their country of ANY significance. This is VERY distressing. The soul of our country is at stake. Many people don't care about such things - that's fine. I am not one of them. Music in America has died (I include here all music from around the world based on American forms such as the blues, rock and roll, hip-hop, etc). I have no plans to "get over it" any time soon. It's far too important. | |

Well, for one, if you dont know who they are you aren't with *it*. Obviously. You're from a different generation. Just face it. Like I said in another post. You guys are judging these kids today based on MTV like your generation used to do. Kids today dont rely on MTV to hear their shit. You all judge shit based on *YOUR* understanding of who and what's relevant. You won't find another Jimi, because there isn't another Jimi. You won't find another Jagger, because there isn't another Jagger. You won't find another Dylan, because there isn't another Dylan. You won't find another Townsend, because there isn't another Townsend. Kids today aren't sitting by an AM radio flipping thru fucking Rolling Stone. See, this whole fucking laundry list you rattled off reflects your DISTINCT taste and generational-way of defining/viewing music, it doesnt account for the taste of kids today. And also anyone who isn't into some dinosaur rock shit. Anyone who is deep into hip hop or R&B or rhythm and blues isn't checking for Pink Floyd. Yeah, you threw in some MC Lyte, but to most people she aint shit either. That's some rock music critic shit. Let's face it. And vice versa. Did you know Hendrix was a legend by 1972? No. Did you know the Stones were irreplacable by 1976? No. Did you know MC Lyte was the dopest female mc by 1994? No. Did you know Dylan would be the "poet of our generation" 10 years into his career no. GIVE THE ARTISTS OF TODAY TIME TO CONTINUE MAKING MUSIC. Hell, Madonna was considered a fucking joke in the 80s, now some 20 years later she's a legend. Same with Janet Jackson and her shit. We did not classify these females as legends ten or more years ago.

[Edited 8/15/06 11:08am] Yeah but the shelf life of an artist today does not even come close to 10 years lets be honest. Sure there is talent out there today, but if you think they are talented because they "sell" then youre missing the point. People from the 90's feel that Kurt Cobain was a genius, but really what did he do? I see more relevance in someone like Eddie Vedder. Many artists are given clout because they died, i mean alot of them are overrated. Sure every decade has their "relevant" list but you have to admit with each decade it seems to be dropping lower and lower mainly because artist turnover is at an all time high, i mean its the "here today gone tomorrow" generation, how can you have relevance in that?

[Edited 8/15/06 11:08am] The only legends of the 1990's (so far) are Nirvana (only 2 career albums), R.Kelly (12 Play is classic, IMO), Shania Twain (biggest contempary country artist ever), Garth Brooks (the 2nd biggest comtemporary country artist ever), Celine Dion (WTF...I know!), Boyz II Men (only for their first 2 albums), MC Hammer (one of hip-pop's biggest stars) & 2pac (the most success living & dead rap artist of the 90's). THIS isn't a great new chapter in music history so far. Sorry! [Edited 8/15/06 15:00pm] | |

Recently, I had encountered kids saying that artists from 1998-99 era like Trick Daddy and Emimem are old school. And the sad thing is 1999 wasn't so long ago.

I had a ton of respect for the musicians of my parents generation and before them because they were fucking bad as hell and it was blatantly obvious they were bad as hell and they got mad fucking props from me and I was always since a little kid into music that was 20-30 years before my time. The same way AC/DC and Van Halen, and Michael Jackson, and Prince, and Madonna, and Run-DMC were equally bad as hell, in their own way. This generation - those under 30 or under 25 or thereabouts - they are the first young adult generation in post-War America to contribute NOTHING musically/culturally to their country of ANY significance. This is VERY distressing. The soul of our country is at stake. Many people don't care about such things - that's fine. I am not one of them. Music in America has died (I include here all music from around the world based on American forms such as the blues, rock and roll, hip-hop, etc). I have no plans to "get over it" any time soon. It's far too important.  | |

They have no Miles Davis, no James Brown, no Mick Jagger, no Pete Townsend, no Barry White, no Louie Armstrong, no John Coltrane, no Grandmaster Flash, no Afrika Bambaataa, no MC Lyte, no Jimi Hendrix, no Lennon and McCartney, no Eagles, no Johnny Cash, no Ike and Tina Turner, no Billie Holiday, no Buddy Holly, etc etc and on and on and on and on.

It's far too important. There ARE artists that matter. There are ARE artists that are relevant to todays kids. Where are they, you say? Well, for one, if you dont know who they are you aren't with *it*. Obviously. You're from a different generation. Just face it. Like I said in another post. You guys are judging these kids today based on MTV like your generation used to do. Kids today dont rely on MTV to hear their shit. You all judge shit based on *YOUR* understanding of who and what's relevant. You won't find another Jimi, because there isn't another Jimi. You won't find another Jagger, because there isn't another Jagger. You won't find another Dylan, because there isn't another Dylan. You won't find another Townsend, because there isn't another Townsend. Kids today aren't sitting by an AM radio flipping thru fucking Rolling Stone. See, this whole fucking laundry list you rattled off reflects your DISTINCT taste and generational-way of defining/viewing music, it doesnt account for the taste of kids today. And also anyone who isn't into some dinosaur rock shit. Anyone who is deep into hip hop or R&B or rhythm and blues isn't checking for Pink Floyd. Yeah, you threw in some MC Lyte, but to most people she aint shit either. That's some rock music critic shit. Let's face it. And vice versa. Did you know Hendrix was a legend by 1972? No. Did you know the Stones were irreplacable by 1976? No. Did you know MC Lyte was the dopest female mc by 1994? No. Did you know Dylan would be the "poet of our generation" 10 years into his career no. GIVE THE ARTISTS OF TODAY TIME TO CONTINUE MAKING MUSIC. Hell, Madonna was considered a fucking joke in the 80s, now some 20 years later she's a legend. Same with Janet Jackson and her shit. We did not classify these females as legends ten or more years ago. GIVE.THE.ARTISTS.OF.TODAY.TIME.TO.GROW.AND.STOP.TRYING.TO.JUDGE.THEM.SO.QUICKLY.IT TAKES MORE THAN 10 YEARS TO GET A FULL IMPRESSION OF AN ARTIST.  "give the artists of today time to grow"
That's the problem,most of these artists are disposable.Their music is like greasy fast food.Kids buy that crap then a few years later,they move on to the next thing.Just ask Pink,The Spice Girls,or any of those lame boy bands that were popular just a few years ago.They're not making music that will stand the test of time.On the other hand,people are still listening to Motown classics.Good music lasts forever.Who's gonna be playing "My Humps" in 20 years? | |
