sorry, but there is nothing more pathetic than a thread full of old guys lamenting the fact that the music of their youth is no-longer popular...
"today's music sucks!!!!" I remember my dad saying that...
If your favorite music is classic rock and that is all you've listened to for years, you are stuck, your brain is no-longer making those connections. Music changes, it evolves... I'm lucky that by being a musician I have been somewhat forced to stay with the current music, also I have a 17 year old daughter that has awesome taste in music... Tame Impala, Portugal The Man, etc... There is some really cool stuff out there!
The problem with music today is the throw away disposable society in which we live, BITD people would latch onto bands and be 'loyal' to them for years/decades, today's listeners are fickle, it's a rarer today for an artist to have more than one successful album. A big part of that is what I call the 'fashion show' of music, where in the past there were 4 or 5 genres of music, today there are hundreds, there is a much smaller piece of the pie for the artist and it's much more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff...
my 2¢...
