What has happened to music?

does anybody else think music has evaporated since the 1980s, the 70's were also great, why is so much music in the 90's regarded as rehashes of the previous decades,





nobody is really that interested in music like they were back then, and standards has seriously dropped with artists getting younger, female artists clothes disappearing, and grunge rock excuse me a minute while i vomit--grunge rock has got to be the most depressing and sad excuse for music ive ever heard, everyone in music now looks like zombies or barbies what is going on. snoop doggy has made millions out of humming in others peoples videos, and kids look up to that, seriously come on.


just think why do we all love to look back at nostalgia, also we now live in a fashionless society everything goes, 50's we had teddies, 60's we had flower power, 70's we had hippies, 80's we had mullets, 90's we had (sorry ive forgotton) and now we have chavs and hoodies, young people of today have had there ears reprogrammed

What has happened to music?
70's we had hippies, 80's we had mullets...

Reply:That's how I'd summise things too, the nineties and after have been a mixture of guys talking fast to someone else's tune or girls singing the piano's black notes... still I suppose it's easier than working for minimum wage in a deadend job...





I guess the same was thought about rock in the 50's so it looks like our dislike of today's sounds are purely because we are getting older...
Reply:I agree with you... Im so over todays music, that if I even listen to music at all anymore, I listen to the classical or instrumental stations or relaxation music, at least I get something out of it!

Reply:I like modern music just as much as the old stuff.





In my own collection George Thorogood, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind rub shoulders with Pachelbel and Bach, Celine Dion and Annie Lennox, Dire Straits, Dashboard Confessionals, Lifehouse and DJ Tiesto.





You just gotta love the diversity, right?





And while it's good to look back to rekindle all those poignant and mixed emotions - all that stuff we keep in our own albums of good times and bad - it's good to look forward too, in the hope that better days really are just around the hill.





Except for rap, of course.





Rap should be banned.
Reply:Oh bless you! It's called getting older I'm afraid and yes I totally agree. The sales in the charts are nowhere like they used to be and unfortunately the music industry shape what we hear and see - remember they are people in their 40s who think the only people buying records are 14 year olds and guess what because of this, it is only the 14 year old who buy these records.





There were a few good songs in the 90's but I don't hear much I like now.





The fashion industry is the same, we went through revivals of the 60,70's and it will soon catch us up. What will they do then!!!





What is funny when I hear 18 year olds saying 'this is the best time for music- ever'!





THEY HAVE NOT LIVED!!!
