Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

I have the same problem, and I don't know if anyone here considers "Rap" music.

After buying a new CD, I discover there's only 1 good cut and I put it up for sale.

Enjoy the old music.
New music, along with so many other things "suck". Maybe the music sucks because it's a reflection of everything else.

Todd, maybe if you loaned me your rose colored glasses I would see what you see, but that wouldn't be "reality", and I prefer to see it like it is.
Almarg, that's not even in my general "genre" of music, and I thought it was "super tough".

Enjoy the music.

"I don't know, and I don't care"! Forget you read that, it was a "Typographical" error. "What did Rhett Butler say to Scarlet Ohara in "Gone With The Wind"? These thoughts just keep coming, I can't stop them.

Every day, as this planet sails on it's course into the future, Universe Orpheus glides on it's musical journey into the past, and man I'm telling it gits groovier everyday. At the moment I'm digging Ray Charles "My Kind of Jazz".

Y'all be cool now.

Unfortunately, the answer to "why new music sucks", is not at all directly related to music; it's all about sociology, economics, and politics.
