Great one Sasaki.
meatwadReverend Gonzo: I don't like much of what is being produced today, but I suspect I probably won't like much that was being produced back in the day as well.
Live long enough and time will do its job; the bad music will be largely forgotten and a few precious gems will be free to shine.
But yeah, if you turn up the radio these days you get cynical fast. I spent a year feeling just like you do because the rap music on radio (the one I had been mind-raped into listening every morning: the woe of school buses!) was so pathetic: it was like there's no good music being produced in this world anymore. I find these days though, that the music I appreciate the most often reveals itself first in places where they aren't limited to merely sounds: concerts, soundtracks, a good accompaniment in a dramatic moment in my favorite show, etc, etc.
The thing is, I try to be everything but a music connoisseur. Know nothing, cares nothing, and listens only with my two ears. Like what my ears like, and I'm happy. I miss out, but I'm also no longer suffering from musical depression.
Besides, old genres don't die, some will continue to play them the old skool way while others adapt them in new ways.
With your list I doubt our tastes correlate that well though.![]()
