I can relate. I just stick to my 70's classic rock bands (Queen, Led Zepplin, ACDC, Aerosmith, etc) and drown everything else out. I am pretty much have my dad's taste in music also.
I did put in Studio Killers and Caravan Palace in for a reason, but tbh, they're not really that popular. You do have a point, but penis grafts won't help at all in this case.
I'm sorry but I'm gonna go on a little rant right now.
I don't understand why people think music from their generation is better or worse than the one before or after theirs. Why can't we all just separately like the music we like without bashing on other people's tastes? Like folk_the_lore said "I don't understand my generations fascination of the noise that is produced and labeled as music this day and age", why call it noise? By that logic, the music you like- if you do for that matter- is considered noise as well since its technically a sound that you can hear. So why not just call it music if that's what it is? I understand that not everyone likes the same thing and that's okay, but why feel the need to put down others tastes because you think yours is superior?
I'm more inclined to agree with ajhedges when they said "There is great music nowadays and terrible music". Because it all depends on someone's musical preferences of what they like, but there's no reason you should put
I think what folk_the_lore is trying to say, and what most of us feel is that most mainstream music currently is not composed by raw talent. It doesn't rise up from obscurity to become well known. Music is now manufactured. It's created by a label, passes through many hands, is edited/perfected in a studio (music engineers are trained to create addictive songs that as humans we are attracted to), and a pretty/handsome face is found to sing it all while using sex appeal/"swaggness" factor to sell this "music". Essentially, the heart and soul has been cut out of it.
No, you just have a sense of superiority that prevents you from appreciating perfectly good music. Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Sia, to name a few, are vocally talented artists who put their heart and soul into their songs. Maybe if you could stop being such an edgy hipster and LISTEN, you'd realize that.
Music today is just fine. People say this kinda shit every generation: "The music today sucks! I hate the music they play on the radio!" (then they go listen to the music they played on the radio years ago, but that's beside the point.) Music is meant to be pleasing to the ear. If you don't find it to be so, that's fine, everyone has different tastes. But if you just hate on perfectly good music because it's too "modern" and "mainstream" and not because of the sound, you have some false sense of superiority over people who like what they like. And if you hate on AN ENTIRE GENERATION'S MUSIC, you must be pretty closed-minded. There's plenty of modern music that I'm sure you would love, if you could get the stick out of your ass for long enough to listen to it. I am absolutely open to debate on this.
In my opinion, saying someone can't do good music just cause they are attractive is just as offensive. You go, I hope your channel is going as good as possible!
Im pretty sure 99% of the "Musicians" nowadays are only in it for the money. (I mean big music nowadays with autotune shit)

Honestly don't fuck with the "My musicis better because people" Fuck music elitests. Fuck the person who made this post. You cannot seriously judge a whole generation on opinion rather on fact. FACT more people have been given the opportunity to achieve successful musical careers no matter what race/age/sex/ class. FACT modern musicians have beaten previous musicians, ya know the "ugly "UNDERDOGS"" you so happily dick ride, records because nowadays the music industry allows new ways of listening to reach the public.
I don't like this meme.One, it implies that one can only produce good music if they are ugly (even if that's not the intention, that's definitely what it sounds like to me). But anyway. It's annoying that the perspn who made the meme has decided that there is a direct correlation between a person's looks and their ability to produce music. And besides, if you're really there for the music, why does it make a difference whether or not the artist is good looking?
I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before i could get to the station in my pickup truck, she got runned over by a damned ol train!
I can't comment one way or another because we're far away from my type of music with Estelle.
As far as the kind of music I listen to, there really hasn't been much in the last 20 years that I like. There have been several bands that try, they just can't seem to hit it anymore.
