Simple really.

Exactly. And most of the stuff I hear today doesn't move me at all.

I try to remain hopeful and open-minded about new music but in the end,I always wind up listening to the music I grew up with There's just no comparison.Music really was better,back in the day.

Remember back in the day when you didn't have to search hard to find good music? It was all over the radio, no matter what you were into. Only time I listen to BLS/KISS now is when they play classic shit on weekends. Other than that, I prefer sportstalk stations)WFAN & ESPN).

I hate sounding like my old man, but music ain't what it used to be.

AMEN!

The only people who dislike modern music are the retards listening

to the radio and whatever charts on Billboard. There are all kinds

of music today with dope assniche artists. Stop being lazy and go

look for good music.

I used to be but there finally comes a time when you just have to open you eyes and face reality that the days of good music are over and it's never going to get better. Having living through several style changes, I knew that styles changed every every five years or so. In the 1990s, I waited for the 2000s thinking there would be a style change, no style change. In the 2000s, I waited for 2005, still no style change. By then, I saw there wasn't going to be a style change and just said fuck it. 2010 came, still no style change. Now it's 2012 and nothing has changed since the late 1990s. If things haven't changed by now, they're not going to change.

Thats not necessarily true but I dont see any new innovations in music no time soon.

Mostly all ground has been covered and the industry has changed. It seems today, the industry pushes for artists to copy off of other artists or things that have already been established instead of pushing for them to step out of the box in fear of backlash. Even in some of the current better artists.. while their music is good its still not necessarily groundbreaking. To be honest, I dont care about that. I think as far as the industry goes it would be nice if they recognize quality music over mediocre music that is popular.

That whole "searching for good music" arguement just makes my asshole wanna spray milky diarreah shit. The reason people want folks to search for good music is so they won't talk about how shitty the music in the mainstream is and go off somewhere like a damn fool and "search" while nothing gets changed in the mainstream. Apparently they must like what's in the mainstream since they don't want anybody downing it.

Shit hop dominated in the 1990s and it still dominates in 2012. I'm not talking about in the pop world, I'm talking about in the R&B world. There have been a few slight changes over the years but they haven't been changes to music, they've been changes to shit hop. Instead of just talking over a slow weak beat, now they sing over that same slow weak beat. As I said before, that's not a change to the R&B genre, that's a change to shit hop. A complete style change would be any trace of shit hop, even in the slightest, completely disappearing from the music and something with a completely different sound altogether taking over.

Exactly.I've accepted the fact that the best music has already been created and released,many years ago.I'll just continue to listen to it and enjoy it forever.I don't necessarily need a lot of "new" music anyway.

Sure I would. And I have, many times. Just because music isn't as good now as it was 30 years ago doesn't mean there isn't some good music out there.

Yep, I have no desire to find new music anyway. If you do "search" and find it, what exactly have you found? One damn song. How the hell you gonna make a mix with one damn song? And it sounds kinda crazy to have a bunch of old songs playing and then all of a sudden, here's one new song. Whoopie! Even if you found enough new songs to make an entire mix, who the hell is going to listen to it? Hell, you're the only person that's ever heard the music and anyone else ain't going to be studying it because they've never heard it before. Plus, what you've found usually ends up being simply decent but certainly not great like the old stuff. It's something I might download.....for free but certainly not something I'd like enough to actually go out and buy.

No, if I'm going to use the time and energy to "search" for something, it's going to be something old and on vinyl that I don't already have. At least I know that's going to be great and also something that someone else in the world has heard before besides just me.

This is very true. It's like going to a Chinese restaurant and complaining because more people are ordering the Chinese dishes rather than the hamburger that's on the kiddie menu. And as for new music discussed here, Lord yes it's discussed here. That's why it's so dead in this section in the last year. Hell, page one of this section right now looks like an entertainment schedule of upcoming events at a juvenille detention center.

Vainandy ain't NEVA lied.

I think one of the best resources for finding new music is Last.fm. It's like Pandora but a lot more in depth and there's a social networking side to it too. Any artist page has a suggestions box that lists artists who have a similar sound. It's easy.

Anyone who says music all sucks today probably only listens to mainstream radio, and while there's a few good tunes on there, by and large it's not great. Seriously, make a Last.fm account and try it. If you don't find a bunch of new music you like, then you probably won't like anything new anyway, in which case, just go back to listening to your 8-tracks.

Simple really.

Probably the best responce in this arguement.

This division that is on the org is getting old and very tired. If the younger posters want to discuss newer mainstream music then their are boards, forums, etc dedicated to those artists. WHY COME TO A SITE DEDICATED TO A MAN OVER 50 AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WHY MODERN MUSIC ISNT BEING DISCUSSED??? I will never understand some peoples logic in that respect.

THIS IS IN NO WAY DIRECTED TOWARDS GUNSHALEN

I also think new music gets talked about ALOT here... MORE than what it should personally. So I dont to see why people think people dont like talking about when it gets discussed here. At the end of the day, its not about Old skool vs. New Skool. Like Gray said, its about what MOVES the listerner. simply....period and I for one dont think someone should feel like they have to force themself to like whats current just to not appear like a snob. People like what they like. If someone people want to come here and listen to new and upcoming artists GO FOR IT.. but dont sit up here and insult other people who want to talk about older music since this is the atmosphere of the site to begin with... with all this seniorcitizenship bullshit and people are old and all that childish nonscense. YOU like what you like and people like what they like...

I listen to a little bit of everything and I do listen to some modern music as well. I love talking about the oldies though and listening to it..and learning about the history of music.. thats why I come here. I dont come here to talk about Chris Brown, Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna etc. and if some of yall do then your on the wrong forum...

The same goes for that New music thread that has been made that some feel if you dont post in that your not open minded to new music.. Maybe some have checked it out and picked out who they do want to check out further but that doesnt necessarily mean they have to live in there If some want to just talk about new music than they are free to but I just dont get the whole constant bashing of posters who enjoy older music over what is current.. it doesnt make them any less open minded, thats just the music they prefer on a site dedicated to a man over 50 .

Money post! It's time to also retire the bitter old sarcastic line aimed at orgers who

prefer older music of only liking artists who play 56 instruments.

Oh, look at what the thread has regressed to.

Here's the thing...

Every single decade from the 50's thru the 90's has had AMAZING music, I can name tons of bands thru each decade that made awesome music... I cannot for the life of me think of one DECENT band thru the 2000's that made anything worth paying for...

Only people that come to mind are britney Spears and the BEP's .... EW and EW!

I believe what happened is technology... Musicians got away from being a band and more into what they could do and manipulate with the computer, which is why alot of them cant or wont tour... and IMO it sucks ASS!

Carry on...
