Some people like punk, some like rap, some like metal. They're all their own genres. A couple years back music didn't suck, that's because everyone had their own style, there was diversity within those genres. I think I saw this whole thing coming. No one comes up with any original music anymore. They don't even try, they just learn an instrument, and try to get paid. That's all it is now, getting paid. So when I turn on net radio stations I keep hearing different bands, but the same thing is coming into my ears. Seldom do I hear a song that I actually like and has something different to it. I wish people would try and create something original. Theres a handful of good bands out there, some even still making music. But everyday I hear some band on the radio that I've never heard of, and most of the time they suck. So the people who pay these people are real idiots. They don't have much taste in music, OR they are forced to pay these people because they want to make money themselves and have to keep letting new bands get out on the scene, making their music seem original to some people. Like if I go back to stuff that was good 5 years ago such as Nirvana, I'd rather listen to that then the new shit asshats are pumping out today. Today almost all the music in one specific genre sounds the same. Todays lyrics also suck. Theres no meaning in them. They just say shit that rhymes. For example, if you listen to some of the most recen punk from a variety of bands, it all sounds the same. Theres some diversity but it isn't enough. I don't care if people disagree with me, just give me evidence supporting why.

Discuss.

Well, I'm going to have to...completely disagree on everything.

Just because YOU hate today's music, doesn't mean it sucks and people should stop listening to them, forever. No, because, as humans we are all different, and therefore we all have different tastes, talents, and interests. See, I hate all the old stuff that some people are obsessed about. It bores me. But that doesn't mean it sucks, I just don't like it. Just as some of you can't stand rap / R&B.

If you can't sense each bands different styles, maybe there's something wrong with you or you just don't listen enough to the band to realize.

The lyrics don't suck. Maybe there are quite alot of shit bad songs out there, but there always were shit songs out there, even in the old days.

Wake up, all it has ever been about has been getting paid and getting famous, regardless. People wouldn't do it otherwise.

Money makes the world go round.

I dislike Punk. It sounds like pop to me.

[worldvengence]

36 Crazyfists = my music .....godsmack is good..cept their new album is sub par

[OfaLoaf]

Help me, I've been raised by Baby Boomers. All I hear is the Beatles(mom), the Who(Dad... actually, I kinda like their album 'Tommy' ), 70's music (dad), Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan... I've been around it so much... I think I kinda like it....

[Spee]

Personally, I think Nirvana was a steaming pile of shit. 90% of the songs were meandering, no purpose, filled with angst and other bullshit that comes in bands a dime a dozen.


However, as much as I dislike Nirvana, I hate Sublime with a passion that is infinitly stronger in every degree. Every FUCKING song they have is like an aural root canal. Its not cool. Its not interesting. Maybe if youre a stoner you can appreciate it, but if I EVER see a Sublime member, I will punch them in the face.

listen to the Mars Volta, nowkthx
their record is absolutely amazing...
I personally love "Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt".
if most music doesnt have meaning, the whole album is the backbone of a story and barely rhymes

a lot of music nowadays sucks, ill agree with you on that Neon..but not all of it.
find something you like and stick to it
even so, maybe something will come soon that you'll enjoy if you dont like much current stuff..

thanks.

You are the people that today's media try and create. You are weak minded.\

Holy fucking shit you have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you even play an instrument? Have you even gotten together with a bunch of your friends and played music together?

Let me tell you: It's an incredible feeling. It's a unique high that you can get nowhere else.

You're totally full of shit. Not everybody is in it for the money.

I also like country on top of all the punk/hard rock i listen to. Do i care? No.

[Onizuka]

Country music is not intellectually stimulating.

That's because you're listening to mainstream punk, aka alternative. If you care to listen to some kick-ass punk rock, or some skull-bashing hardcore punk, then let me know. I have over 300 CDs to select from, and I'm talking about real punk, not that lame AFI/New Foound Glory crap that's all over the airwaves.

Real Punk. The kind kids used to fight over who was more punk than you. When punk meant mohawks, bracers, and more leather than a Village People concert. When it was punks versus skins. Not this fake poseur crap now.

[Neon Apocalypse]

I agree with most of you. And 1024 i do agree with you, and I think that you also agree with me. Theres just too few good bands.

Angel...you're full of shit. Music isn't about getting paid, to some people it is. It became about getting paid is that people loved it so much and thats all they wanted to do, and they took it to another level. But today most people dont care and they just care about money and women. Alot of bands have sold out. Metallica for example. Metallica's old music is 10x better than the stuff that they made recentally. Back then it was about the music, they didn't care about anything else. Now they don't care and its just for the money.

What I was trying to prove here was that the media is trying to make money off youth (us) by promoting music that sucks. MTV does most of this and because MTV is "cool" to those who aren't independent and want to be "cool" they think the muic MTV promotes is "cool" . Im not saying all music that MTV plays sucks, just most of it.

Music started out being a bunch of people around a campfire singing, or sailors singing on voyages. It only became about money until recentally.

[Sputty]

80s music was good, some early 90s music was good. "Modern" music is all shit.

Help you? Sounds like you've got a great basis for rock appreciation. Maybe you should go thank Mom and Dad right now. The Beatles are quite probably the greatest group of all time, the Who is absolutely solid, Zappa is an inspired choice for your parents to be into even if he's not really my thing, Dylan is one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
That doesn't mean that the groups you like should stop after 1979, but it does mean that you're probably going to have more eclectic tastes than your friends for a few years.
