Why does music today suck?

Question

Why does music today suck?

Answer 1

I'm 18. I don't think all of today's music sucks. But I will agree that a lot of it isn't that great. A lot isn't very thought out, or it has a rude meaning, or there is all this auto tune in it. Older music is a lot of the time more thought out, has a great meaning, and doesn't use auto tune (or uses a minimal amount). I do think there are some great bands out now though like OneRepublic, The Fray, The Script, etc. I also really love country and rick/alternative rock. But I have an appreciation for all types of music. So I will say that I am guilty to listening to a lot of songs I hear on the radio these days, but I also love music from past generations that is just amazing! You just have to find the really good bands of this era. I'm sure you will find some you like! Different people enjoy different music. I for one hate that punk metal screaming crap. But I know some people who love it! But you're definitely right about the older music! I hope this helps answer your question hahaha!

Answer 2

This is an ongoing debate thats been going on for decades.



The pop culture of the day is not all that satisfying. Even though each generation embraces their own to some extent. There are some shining bright lights out there in each generation, but the larger culture has changed. Its not the era of big rock and roll any more. So, it can't be resurrected, reclaimed, or re-invented. Its kind of all derivative and retro when you look at new rock music of the last 20-30 years or so.



So, music won't suck when it breaks new ground and captured the energy, excitement, and musicianship that great music requires. Also, its got to be exciting live. We live in a different era of visual stimulations too, so its not easy to be heavy and rock and be new and exciting.



btw, you have good taste in music. You should survey some 50s and 60s jazz, Miles Davis, for example and find some really good music there too from another time.



MTV, by the early 80s brought in the era of rock needs to be photogenic. It took 10 years and grunge to push all that big metal hair off the MTV.

Answer 4

I'm a child of the rock era. Today's music doesn't suck anymore than when I was growing up. We tend to remember all the hits and classics. I have a number of records of old Sinatra that were pretty bad. Not every song he sang became a hit. If you look at my albums for the 60's and 70's there are a lot of groups no one remembers or have heard. For good reason, they're pretty awful. I've played some of them and wonder what was thinking when I bought them. With the ease of producing music today there is a lot more out there and a lot more music influenced by different cultures. Not always to everyone's taste.

Answer 5

Because you are 21 and you give a glimpse of a particular way your tastes have developed. Time, I believe, expands on that. I think there is some good music today, and I can go a different way than you: I personally enjoy ANYTHING by Louis Armstrong and Lyle Lovett. I also enjoy the now defunct Missouri band Big Smith.

Everybody likes different kinds of music; some like the new stuff, others don't. The music that denigrates women is popular among many, to my amazement, and even some female performers have such lyrics. But remember, Sinatra made a few dollars off "That's Why the Lady is a Tramp."

Answer 6

Everyone accepts that art is subjective , and people will see what they wish .

But they fail to realise that music is the same .. They think that the top people's opinions are the most accurate and important , but the reality is , every single human beings opinion on music is just as correct and important as the nexts.

That's why they're are so many types of music . Yes it may suck when you live in the age of a style that is not your favourite , but if the type of music you like hadn't ever been popular at a time , you wouldn't have the songs you love .

But the reality is when you sit down and listen to frank Sinatra , someone else is enjoying listening to Nicki or Justin bieber JUST as much as you .

Just because your taste is acquired , does not mean it's better .

Answer 7

This is a very stupid thing to say! The way you have put yourself over is as if it is a fact that music sucks today, when in actuality it is nothing more than a personal opinion (yours, in this case)! I for one adore 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and all of today's music artists'! For example i love 'modern day' music artists like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and more! And older music artist's like Cilla Black, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Lionel Richie, Bonnie Tyler and Cyndi Lauper and many more! And may i just point out i am only 17 years old!! So i am not an older individual i am a young woman!

Answer 8

Music today sucks because THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE TODAY SUCK. Haven't you noticed? For example: back then strangers said hello to each other on the sidewalk. If someone were to say that to a stranger today, that person would get paranoid or freak out. Greed, capitalism, corporate America, habits of baby boomers, and habits of Millennials have all accumulated to make this happen. And 9/11 and the Stock Market crash a few years ago? That certainly didn't help shape people's interests. The music (and movies TBQH) of present-day are no longer timeless works of art--they are basically filler junk that you just have to buy, only to toss in the corner of your room with the rest of modern day junk.



And this is all coming from a Millennial! It's never a bad thing to keep listening to the older artists or whatever makes you happy, and just ignore what others like or think about your likes in music. I listen to tons of older music that were written before I was even born...people might think that's odd for someone my age, and I don't care a bit. They can listen to their brainless Nicki Minaj/Justin Bieber/etc crap all they want.

Answer 9

Partially some of these answers address issues, taste is subjective but there is a definite decline in standards for several reasons. For one, the industry has completely changed, the old rules of marketing are topsy turvy. Most artists are now earning their income from live shows. The internet has played a huge role in the value of music depreciating, both financially and in regard to general appreciation. Bands do not have the time to grow and evolve anymore, before they know it their careers are over. The way in which bands are formed has turned into a mcfactory assembly line, with mogels like Simon Cowell selling the public what he thinks they want. The public lap it up because behind the music, there is a huge promo industry dictating what trends are in or out. There is not much incentive to even be a musician, those who are more prone to artistic integrity are constantly discouraged, rejected and ignored (see mcfactory assembly line). It's not a career that puts bread on the table, its considered a hobby unless you're a session artist or in the philharmonic . Everything now is about one hit wonders, get in, make your money, get out while you're young (a bit like athletes). In some sense, mainstream music has always followed that template, but these days it seems that this is the only option open to musicians who wish to be successful. There is no real pop culture movement behind the music, no real message anymore, only materialism and product endorsement. These current musicians aren't saying anything new or deep to capture imaginations or inspire. They have to be typecast into a specific role, or they can't be sold. You can even see this happening with genres of music not traditionally associated with the status quo (eg: heavy rock). This is one of the worst periods in history for music, the digital age - it has been arriving to this point since the late 50's, internet is the final nail in the coffin.



So if you don't want to read all that: creativity has been stifled, potential for making money is less likely, there is no passion left.

Answer 10

I'm referencing the comments by the original poster...Tony. Did you say you are 21? It sounds like you are referring to the good music from the 60-80s plus some of the 90s. I used to be able to immediately recognize every song, the performer, etc. From 2000 on, not so much. I think that throughout time, there has always been no shortage of music that sucked. I used to wonder who decided what would be played on the radios (now-a-days we have the internet radio stations which might be different.). I think the choice of what we have heard was initially decided by a limited few persons.



Now, with internet radio and such, theoretically, things could be better. The average listeners can determine what should be played or they construct their own "radio station" as such. That's better in that everyone can have input into what is played or broadcast of the internet or satellite radio. What is interesting is that the selections of what one hears is not limited to recent music. Maybe this will be better realized when more real stations do fully embrace letting the public decide what should be played.



I tend to enjoy music that truly reflects real talent and that can be judged. A singer's talents can be observed - it's more than carrying a tune but things like vocal range, etc. These things can be taught. Certainly playing musical instruments is a skill that can be heard. Finally, I would say that most of the time, I like the lyrics to well written, as opposed to trite or unoriginal. Sure, I admit to some guilty pleasures that involve silly, as in trite, with little meaning, lyrics.



My view is that there is the notion of the test of time. Hopefully the music that stands the test of time for the first 15 years of the 21st century will reflect on what was the best and not a mere reflection of what reflects the actual blend of everything that defined this time period.

Just my Humble opinion.

Answer 11

Music "today" does not suck more or less, then in any other epoche.

The difference is, that today, we have the internet, and we have easy, accesible and cheap

music software, where anybody with a laptop can "produce" music at home or wherever.

That means two things : more people are able to "make" music, (yes, also ppl without any talent or education in music), and secondly, everybody can for free publish their music.

That was simply not possible just 10 years ago. You had to go to a studio, pay money, to record an publish a CD. And if you suck, nobody would publish your CD, unless you pay yourself for it, and that was very expencive.

So while I would agree, we definitally have way way more music output nowadays, but it is not all trash and bad. The percentage I would assume, is still the same, then back in the days of Mozart. There were and always will be, a very very small percentage of people, who are actually talented, AND work hard.

Can you name any other music maker in the days of Mozart. He just happens to be the guy with most talent.

There were the same percentage of untalented trash composers.

Answer 12

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm not sure I have the answer though.



You are right in believing that most pop music sucks. I think that a lot of it is judged upon singing skills, and their lyrical content. EG. lady gaga, rihanna and adelle.. And they ARE pretty good singers. Sexual innuendos in a song also sell, clubs like to play them, people dance to it, etc.. You wouldn't walk into a strip club, for example, and hear hairband music; well, you might hear Motley Crue's 'girls, girls, girls'; depending on the audience.



However, I can't STAND autotune and computerized music. Sure, some software produced music is ok. But, I disagree with people calling these guys 'musicians'. I mean if they dont' know how to sing or know much about music theory. They are more entertainers.



But, I have NO CLUE why Nickleback is famous!!!!!

Answer 13

Well that's just an opinion when it comes down to it. All music has its decade at the end of the day. I'm 22 and I remember the good old days of my childhood during the 90's and early 2000's, growing up with G'n'R, Alice Cooper, Nirvana and all the rest. Also grew up with all the other's you've mentioned and I agree with you that those where the day's of decent music, and that the current charts can't even begin to compare, but there is still decent music going, it's just who you're into.



It's not all Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, there are decent artists out there. Spotify is the main way I discover them. For example, you mentioned Macklemore and LMFAO, whereas I actually don't really connect with them personally, at least not like I did with Lady Gaga when she first surfaced, or as I do now with Lana Del Rey.



A good substitute for the likes of Macklemore and LMFAO are ODESZA or Röyksopp who make really good dance music. On terms of the likes of eminem, I wouldnt even try to look for new rap these days, it's all armies of chavs on top of high-rise council flats singing about how "the kid aint there's" (literally in one music video) who spit venomous inner hatred, resentment, anger and poison because they've been sanctioned by the dole. Okay, it's a little more complex than that, but you get what I mean.

Answer 14

It's because nowadays, the artists' egos blend in with their work. They think they're producing great music, when in fact that, their egos are so big that they've become oblivious to just how terrible their music is. A perfect example? Pitbull. The dude can't even go solo. Another factor that doesn't help is that kids who came about after 2000 are growing up to this music and haven't been exposed to better music yet which allows artists like Miley Cyrus, Lady Bla Bla, and Icky Minaj to continue releasing garbage. Occasionally you find a good modern music artist, like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, who don't develop giant egos that affects their work. Remember when LMFAO rose up for a while? I think they disappeared because they realized they were in over their heads and couldn't actually keep up with producing music. They had a couple awesome hits, but no more.

Answer 15

Well, everyone has their opinions. But honestly, generations grow and so does the music. And the art, and the photography, etc...but I gotta say, immaturity beats it in a long run.



Yes, music these days may not be very good to you. But some people love it. That's why it continues! The more rates and views it gets on youtube basically decide a song's fate- if it is hated, the song goes down like a meteor. Loved? Hits the top charts as quick as a bullet.



It's the generation. Sometimes you have to get over it. The past changes over time into the present, like a millisecond into a second. New instruments, vocal-enhancement-improvement systems and mics are founded. That's where all of this "bad music" is generated from. Sorry, but as far as me and Frank Sinatra know, the past has passed! It had it's moments, and it forever shines in our hearts. But this is the present, the future. Let it go on and you know...the music may surprisd you one day.

Answer 16

I can't really answer that question for you, but I have to agree. I hate the radio now, all of the songs are complete garbage with a catchy beat, no substance at all. If I could make a recommendation though, I think you'd like One Direction's new album 'Made In the AM'. The members are very involved in the writing process and are heavily influenced by most of the artists you named! Tori Kelly is also a great artist. I don't really listen to rock music so I can't help there. I really recommend the 1d album tho, they're not that "bubblegum pop boy band" everyone thinks they are from their first album. Give it a listen and tell me what you think! I'd avoid perfect and drag me down (basically the singles) if I were you tho since those are more pop to keep up their mainstream reputation

Answer 17

The rot started in the 1980's with such pop crap as Rick Astley. Modern music is still relatively new, it's birth was in the 50's with Rock and Roll, with origins in Blues. It was only going to be so long before people ran out of ideas. All the good songs have been written already, but the music industry can still make music by getting together some attractive boys or girls, having a song writing team write crappy songs for them, and manufacture some lame uninspired song for the youngsters who don't know any better. Today's pop music is basically the musical equivalence of junk food from Mcdonalds.

Answer 18

Today's music sucks for several reasons.

1) The music industry has no standard of quality, only a standard of quantity, something simply MUST be released at every opportunity, even if no real talent is available.

2) A smaller field of talent to choose from. There used to be more music programs in schools to nurture future musical prodigies. All our musical prodigies today are lost to video games.

3) Technology has blurred the lines between music and celebrity. I'm sorry, but were it not for computer editing, no talent CELEBRITIES like Britney Spears, Madonna and P Diddy wouldn't have been let within a mile of a recording studio. Back in the day, music was expensive to make, so artists had to nail their parts in one take with no editing. What you heard in the studio was what went on the album. They didn't have time for Britney to sing the same part 75 times. They had to call in a real pro. With todays tech, the executives are opting for looks over talent, thinking they can fool us.

Answer 20

I can't stand how most music today sounds exactly the same! And most have all the same words and there's no real meaning behind songs anymore.

But I've also seen good songwriter singers who's music had meaning and sound great...and they were booted out because they didn't sound the same as everyone else. It sucks. And it's sucks even more that it's not going to get any better either...

Answer 21

Okay so here's what going on. Music that was released 40 years ago wasn't any better or worse than music that comes out today; we're just remembering the good parts. The reason you like that music is because those were the good parts of 40 years ago. There's good music today that we will remember 40 years into the future and I can garuntee the next generation will say that THEIR music sucks. It's a mindset that people have because good music isn't every song that's released.

Answer 22

It's unfortunate for today's youth who missed the important changes that came in both Popular music as well as Jazz and Blues. The birth of rock and roll - I will say it began in 1954 with Elvis Presley's Sun label recordings - was not welcomed across the board. In fact, it was even considered to be banned by Congress (in the spirit of free speech, I'm sure(sic)). Jazz and Blues really offered great advances with the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Thelonius Monk along with Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and Lightin' Hopkins. Being a fan of Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley and Eddie Cochran, I found rock and roll to be dying by 1960. The rebirth in 1964 caused a lot of hysteria and reached a zenith by 1969. For me, personally, Rock music became a staid, arena event with no soul and no personality. It hasn't gotten any better since despite a few examples here and there. I won't say the music today sucks but I will say that I am glad to be 70 with great memories of some great music.

Answer 23

Why does music today suck? Well, it is because society has changed. Teenagers and young adults of today were raised differently than the past generations.



Not all music of today sucks, but most of it really does. You are right about that. There seems to be lack of composition and the proper use of instruments and trained vocalists. It appears as though techno improvising and yelled lyrics have taken over the real talent of musicians of the past.



There is no question about it, music of the past is by far much better than most new music of today. You only have to possess the gift of hearing to realize the truth of the matter.

Answer 24

Though music is purely subjective I tend to agree with you that we are entering a period of musical doldrums. In my opinion the last time we were in a boring period of music was the mid-1970's when the corporations were moving into rock/pop and it seemed like they were dictating every note. Certainly some of the hard rock back then was quite good and alternative rock was still in the underground and few ever heard it at the time. Overall what was on the radio "sucked", to use your terminology.



I don't think were close to the nadir that happened in the 70's but it does seem like we're on the downhill slope and I hope it self corrects. Meanwhile here are a few songs from the last few years [which I would still call current] that I consider Gems (You might have to copy and paste some of these links into your browser - Maybe you know some of these):

2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl3QoD6wiDI



I notice someone here commented here that it's inevitable that people run out of ideas. I don't buy into that at all. It's like an old book I found written in 1912 that stated that everything that can be invented has been cars, airplanes, electric lights..etc maybe some improvements over the years but little fundamentally new. We know how wrong that is! Here's a couple tracks from the very dawn of rock and roll. Compare how things have changed since then and realize how far things have come and very importantly that ideas never run out:



1946 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVHypczfLv0

1952 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wWH2Ie6d2I



If we go ahead another 50 or 60 years I believe there will be a lot of mind-blowing music invented. Sure there will be periods of low creativity that ebb and flow but long term a lot can happen.

Answer 25

You're talking about mainstream music. Artists like Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus that uses sexuality as a cover from their trashy and poorly written music. Most rappers rap about sex, drugs and alcohol. Look further and you will find good singers that are worth listening to. Sam Smith, James Bay, George Ezra, Bruno Mars, Sia, 21 Pilots, Imagine Dragons, The Killers are some of my personal favourites. There are also lots of unknown indie rock bands that really rock. Just Google or Youtube them.



Then again, like I said in other similar posts, music choices boils down to subjectivity. Not everyone in this time and day will find, say 80's music, appealing as the style is foreign to them, no matter how good the songs are. Different strokes for different folks.

Answer 26

One part of the answer is that there is actually good music out there, but isn't advertised and played on the radio which is filled with the crap music we hear so it appears there is more crappy music than good music. There is also many foreign bands that play in the style of older bands, but not heard of because the local radio stations don't play them. Another answer is the difference in style of lyrics and music. Many younger people of today are very self-centered and everything must be about them so they rather listen to lyrics that tells a story that relates to their life and feelings than listen to some good old rock songs with simple lyrics relating to anything and everything and sometimes did not make sense which was the beauty of older music because you could find your own translations in the lyrics. When you have idiots getting all touchy-feely over a new Justin Beiber song, you then know that the masses of idiots won't be helping to buy any actual good music and is why the bad music is strong and the good music suffers.

Answer 27

One word:



Formulaic.



Most people can't be bothered to attempt something truly ground breaking or interesting so they rely on old habits for songwriting- get it written, produced, and processed each and every way.



Real musicians used to have to PRACTICE. They didn't have all the convenient crutches that artists of all types have today. This leaves a lot of room for posers, and posers with confidence and charisma get more opportunities than practiced talents that are much more humble. Also, what makes good music is "subjective" (yeah right) so no one can be easily judged- they just have to make sure not to be terrible.



It is like with the movies and their A-list stars. Watch a major music awards show and you will get to choose between four already famous artists. With 7 billion people on the planet I find the lack of choices incredibly disingenuous. There are a ton of actors too who I would love to see play groundbreaking roles but fat chance on that one too.



True art takes time, and if you have the talent and the inspiration then it is hard to say how far you can go. People are so focused on making money and producing things on deadlines that I believe their values are in the wrong place. If you are just interested in making money and getting your name out there you will be blinded to all the other approaches and opportunities out there.

Answer 28

There are crappy songs and artists making it big and there are amazingly talented artists out who are big. Just think about it, every generation before another had those people that looked at/saw the newer music, styles, and trends and didn't like it. I'm a bit more open minded, so I like a lot of music that's out (Ariana Grande, Tamar Braxton, Gotye, Kimbra, Willam Belli, Adore Delano, Nicki Minaj, 2Cello, Jessie J, Sia, Kehlani, Tinashe, etc... Never Taylor Swift, though ), different genres (Basically all), and I love older music and artists (Glen Miller, Billie Holliday, Anita Baker, Little Walter, Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf, etc). Basically, it's just an opinion and preference.

Answer 29

It's very simple. This is the 21st Cnetury- the Digital Age. Musicians today don't put a lot of thought into composing music and writing songs with feeling. Look at people like Skrillex- he calls himself a rockstar. I don't know too much about him but I know he is a dubstep artist. He cranks out music by using a cubase and pressing buttons. That is so overrated. The music many artists make now is artificial and overrated because of the advances in tech and I think this gives artists a reason to be lazy.

Answer 30

This is all opinion based. If music today really sucked, then the music industry would be suffering. I'm sure people today will be saying the same thing once they're older and a new generation takes over.

Answer 31

In the 1990's , people in their late 30s and early 40s had fond memories of the 60s and 70s, and use to think little of the present day music back then.



This tends to be the case forever.





todays teens rely on todays trends and music.



yesterdays music is garbage to them.



they will look back on this era in 20 yeasr time and speak of it as a 'golden age' in music lol



but really, its not that much of a golden age in music.



The 90s were as good and bad as the 80s, but on the whole I'd say slightly better than the 80s.



The 70s were cool, the 60s were okay if you 'get' that era.



Depends on the individual and the era they experienced growing up listening to music and enjoying it the most i guess.

Answer 32

I'm 14 and I grew up listening to bands like Queen, Led Zeppelin, ABBA, etc since my parents grew up during the 60's and 70's but not ALL of today's music is trash- and that's what most people say about the generation after: parents of kids who grew up in the 70's probably hated rock music at the time. It's probably a way for the children to rebel against what the parents want them to listen to- just a theory. Most of the songs on the radio are those catchy pop songs because that's predominantly what the average person might enjoy. And even though it is hard to find good music, it surely is satisfying to find it.

Answer 33

It really sucks how alot of *** music get more views or played more then good music today but I wouldn't say that all music today sucks but almost all popular music now or mainstream music now sucks there's some great music out there but u gotta find it lol

Answer 34

Music sucks today

Answer 35

I can understand how you would feel that way I for the most part feel the same way, but with that said there is still good music if you look for it. Becks new album just won album of the year and its great, Radiohead, Coldplay are still making albums as well as some of the class bands and musicians. But what is popular I think which is what your getting at, yes I would agree is nothing I would ever listen to. This is more disturbing based on the fact that this is what people like ? Well there is no accounting for taste sometimes, and I dont get it sometimes. Not to say Rap cant be good, for the most part I find it most of it rude and demeaning to women. But even so I dont find it musical and involving. I like to hear real people play real instruments. Musicianship has taken a back seat for some artist to voice their opinion rather than play music for entertainment.



Just saying, but ya I hear you and would agree to some degree.

Answer 36

I mean I guess you can be elitist and say it sucks. And alright, some of it has zero meaning, thank god there is no obligation to listen to it. But then again, whether it sucks or not is an entirely subjective matter, People like Rock and Jazz and people like House and Dubstep. You could reduce your own question to "Why don't I like contemporary music". To be quite honest there's a neurological factor too. You grew up to something else, your brain knows that to be THE THING and chances are it only triggers the feel-good hormones when you listen to your music and can't make anything of today's studio-recorded noise. But again, who are you to say it sucks?

Answer 37

I think part of it has to do with illegally downloading music. Record labels are in it only for the money and many rock bands and a few others have told people that going to the concerts are more important than buying the album (kid rock and disturbed, I believe are a few examples). Record companies do not see it like this, it depends on the album sales. I believe that this is why MTV does not play anything other than pop and commercial rap, matter of fact, the last couple vmas did not air the rock awards. I believe that people want music like they want their fast food-they want to immediately enjoy a song and if it does not give them any rise at all within seconds, bye! I learned in 8th grade how to appreciate music by an unlikely genre; death metal. I hated it at first but I was intrigued and kept listening and it became one of my favorite types. I don't think people have the patience to do so.

Answer 38

The music industry of today puts more emphasis on looks and sex than talent. Music talent of the past probably wouldn't even get a record deal today despite the fact that they are talented. Music of today is also sampled a lot because producers today write music for the now and not timeless music. Timeless music ended in the 1990s. Most Artists of today produce their first three to four albums as a success and then by 30 they're producing flop albums and turn to sex and dancing to sell albums.

Answer 39

I don't know if music today sucks, but it msy be harder to find music that doesn't. Try to keep an open mind. I spent the 90s obsessed with the music of the 60s and 70s and missed a lot of great--or at least decent--music from my own generation.

Answer 40

21 years old, I love rock, jazz, old school hip hop. Frank Sinatra, Issac Hayes, AC/DC, The Beatles, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Run DMC, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Ice Cube etc. I could go on, ill always love the rock music, because my Father played guitar for like 40 years lol and is obsessed with rock music, I basically grew up listening to that, and I had some family members introduce me to old school rap.



I cant stand music today, people can sneeze into the mic, and it could be a top 5 hit, sure there is good music, but I feel like you have to LOOK for it, back then it seemed like you didn't, the good stuff was always on the radio. Now we gotta hear trash like these guys called young money talk about drugs and "hoes" with complete autotune, its almost like you dont need talent anymore, just be an idiot, disrespect women, and talk about anything, and you could be a millionaire with a hit single. Its just sad, I dont get it, why do you have to look for good music, why is the trash music so popular?

Answer 41

New music and I broke up March 2, 1998. I just wasn't feeling it anymore and thought it best we went our separate ways. And it could be the feeling was mutual, because that's the very day I started to confront my musical mortality, to face the death of my own personal cool. Who would I become if I wasn't aware of Youth Lagoon or Vampire Weekend? Or was that Youth Weekend at Vampire Lagoon? I, like any healthy teenager, am partial to music that makes me want to vandalize your home, but for some damn reason I find the stuff that's popular right now makes me lactate. And the reality is I couldn't name any of the bands at the Grammys, and I know only a very small handful of bands named in these very pages. There was a time when it was important to know who was who; it was like having a cool badge. The more obscure your musical references, the more you'd have people believe in your shamanic powers. The spirit world must be happy with us — here's the latest Sigur Rós record; it's not out for another two weeks.

Answer 42

I play guitar, so I understand where you're coming from and I agree with you. Most of today's mainstream music is crap, not all, but most. A lot of artists do it for the money because they know that they can make anything and it will sell.



I guess the reason why a lot of trash music is popular is because a lot of people just can't tell the difference between good, authentic music and autotuned crap. I guess that's really the only explanation I can give.

Answer 43

Most of the music I listen to is classic rock/metal which is up to the mid 90s.I don't listen to todays top 40 if it is my way as it sucks and been that way since the early 90s. If I have to listen to music from today if would be country but classic country is my all time favorite in music.

Answer 44

Possibly because most of the so-called pop "music" today does not require very little talent. Take away the singing, the melody and a decent beat and what's left? Some individual chanting and not much else. Quite often any beat or background tunes is all electronic. Some of the background noise exists to drown out the performers who can hardy carry a tune if their life depended on it. Then there is the "performances", extremely loud, fireworks, laser lights, fake fog etc. Some of this stuff is forcing be towards classical music, which I used to avoid at all costs.

Answer 45

On average, most everyone thinks that the music of their youth is the best music, music older than that is "classic" and "difficult," and music that is released during their mid-to-adult life is too simple, stupid, and filthy.



The truth is that any music played correctly and in-tune is good music, and any song written with some form, structure, or purpose is a good song. Was music more technically difficult back in the day? Not necessarily. Have you listened to Beyonce's difficult melisma runs in her song Halo? How about difficult guitar solos notorious in metal and some rock music?



There will be tons of artists and music on the scene during the present, and there will be many more in the future. History will only remember the most popular of songs and artists, and music academics will remember those in addition to a few others if they were technically challenging.



The primary difference today is the commercialism and corporate America's involvement in the music industry. Way back in the day, it was royalty and nobility that more or less decided which musicians and songs were famous. To be a musician or composer of a king or queen's court was considered one of the best places for any person working in the music industry to be.

Answer 46

You obviously think everyone else should hear what YOU hear when they listen to music and decide "good" or "bad". Doesn't work that way. Just as each of us decides what is beautiful and what's not - whether it's conditioned or innate - each of use decides what is "good" versus "bad" music for ourselves. While someone might think the sound of a washing machine is excellent music, another might settle for nothing different than Mozart.



I happen to think there's a lot of great music today because I try to get inside the head of the composer/performer and empathize with what they're trying to convey, and not simply compare them with, say, Beethoven - who's music, by the way, some had thought (and some still do think) sucks.

Answer 47

Seems like most people agree. I don't. U are what is known as a "hater" in new music terms. Seriously though I love all music so the new stuff is fine too. I feel like if you don't listen to it with such a negative attitude going in you could also really get into it. The messages the songs are sending has changed, but not to what you are thinking of. There is a common theme of "do what you want its your life", which I think can be a great message. And rock and roll artists are widely known as drug users and their songs objectify women as well. New music isn't that bad, don't be so stubborn to change.

Answer 48

Today's music, as with a lot of other industries, has simply become flooded with people trying to put out their work, which means that in many ways there is an "excess" of music, not that there can ever really be enough music, but stations can't play it all and people don't have the time to listen to it. Because of this, only certain artists are ever able to make it, and generally they are the ones who are very wealthy because that it what it takes to get into the industry, not necessarily talent.



I don't like your claim that all of today's music sucks, music is all in preference and there is no good or bad music anyway, I feel like there is just as much good music as there has always been, and I don't think we should discredit the people who really do produce great things for us as individuals to listen to. Because of the previoiusly mentioned overload of music, it has become harder to find music that fits you personally, BUT because of all the new music that is out there, more people are able to connect with different styles once they take the time to find them.



Many, many people feel driven to make music, whether or not you and I view them as "incredible" or "terrible" should not discredit the fact that someone, somewhere, may love their songs. I am sorry that the hunt for songs that fit you has become a struggle, because the universe of songs only grows, but in many ways I think that is a wonderful thing :)

Answer 49

It's your upbringing and conditioning that determines what aligns with your inner excitement and joy. Each type of music has it's own audience.



What constitutes a good music over another is a subjective matter in itself. A rocker will hate ambient music, a person who loves to hear the waves certainly will not stand the fast rhythmic rock etc.



What you hear on the airwaves is really a controlled outlet, meaning that the people behind it put not what is popular but what they want to make popular. This has been one way of mass-controlling the psyche.



Look at it this way: If you're not part of the herd then you are certainly outside the psyche controlled masses.

Answer 50

As a person born in late 2000 I know that music today isnt as good as before in like 2006-2012 but I can still appreciate the music today and they are pretty unresistable to not move your body along with and the lyrics are pretty funny, all songs from vines usually have a catchy sound and I dig IT but I dont exactly like it (example song: Post to be) I would prefer songs from that era that I stated before.. But something I agree like many others are that ALL mainstream music sounds exactly the same.. Which is so boring and dissappointing



I also like old catchy songs from the 80's like "Let's Groove" "Salt N pepper" and plenty of 90's songs. They are amazing. I dont listen to older songs though. I used to listen to Etta James - at last when I was eleven but not anymore

Answer 51

People have been asking this question for as long as music has existed basically. But people like yourself that ask this question do so for a couple different reasons. One is a lame attempt at making them sound like some sort of music aficionado, and the is just being too damn lazy to look beyond mainstream radio for good music.



There is great music out there. Always has been and always will be. But people like yourself had rather bitchandmoan about it than spend a little time seeking out good music. Loser!!

Answer 52

Today's music doesn't "suck" just because you can't enjoy it. That's your own problem. I myself hate pop music but love today's & yesterday's art rock. How can i like modern and old music of the same genre???!! By finding modern bands that make the kind of old music i like instead of whining on yahoo answers because it's the 2000's & David Bowie's dead, which means all current music is trash simply because i'm too indolent to search for bands that presently make stuff that maintains that old feel of a certain genre i love.



example: Wolfmother. Wolfmother is a lot like Led Zep. And they're considered "today's music." So. I'm embarrassed for you.

Answer 53

Today's music always seems to suck, and it just gets worse with each decade. However, today you don't have to put up with the Top 40 trash they are always trying to push on you. One thing the Internet has done is make music much more accessible. You want to hear new bands? Just point and click. Bars and other venues can post their bands online, so you don't have drive around from bar to bar, sign up for mailing lists, and rely on word of mouth to know what is going on in the music scene. Jukeboxes have a much wider selection of music. Seriously, if you feel trapped by the contemporary pop radio stations, you really have no one to blame but yourself. Once upon a time, music was exhorbitantly expensive to produce and distribute, concentrating power in the hands of a few. Now any Indy band can post their music on Facebook for free, get a free website for their band, and concentrate on making music, and not have to worry about going door to door trying to get gigs, get their music on the radio, stay in touch with their fanbase. Power still tends to be concentrated in the hands of the few, because they can also use Facebook etc, make better websites, sponsor events, etc., but nowadays the Power Elite can be bypassed in ways which just weren't possible 30 years ago.

Answer 54

I dont think all music sucks today you just have to find the music that blends with your interests. Alot of music today is electronic and entering a new stage.

Try listening to Grizmatik Digital liberation is mad freedom

a great example of modern music mixing with the good classics.

Griz also does an Aerosmith remix that is awesome.

Answer 55

I don't know, but I agree with you, today's music sucks balls. I do like some of today's bands that I find really awesome (like The Neighbourhood, The 1975, Arctic Monkeys - even though AM have been singing for years). You know, music is supposed to become better and better, but instead of that it's becoming terrible.

Answer 56

i think the issue is not necessarily how you feel but with how the question was asked, not all music these days sucks, you just have to look really really hard for music that does not suck, whereas years back the search was not as intense. music today is not all horrible but the odds are good that if it is on the radio it is, whereas years ago you could sometimes hear good music on the radio, today a constant cr@pfest is broadcast 24/7/365 on the radio and of course mtv. but of course mtv stopped being about good music like 20 years ago so that is a given.

Answer 57

Music does suck today. For every Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber or One Direction. There are duds among duds. I don't get why people like the New Adele album, "25". I only liked one song of it, and her vocals aren't as good as her other ones. I would take Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears, and even NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys over her right now. Even Katherine Mcphee and Megan Hilty. Because they at least make you feel the song and feel the emotions of the song and hit those chords that give you goosebumps. With her lately, it just feels like good music, good songs, but her vocals are elevator music to my ears.

Answer 58

I love all types of music, but I'm like you. I don't like today's music. It's just trendy for some, I do like the beat of today's music, but then again I liked it back in the day too. I think most things aren't NEW anymore, its just remixes. Music, Movies, have you seen any movies that have a new storyline to it? I doubt it, I've not seen in a long time. It's annoying! The horror/gore movies, you know exactly what is going to happen, yet we still watch them, I guess because there is nothing else to watch lol.. blah :( I guess people think to get numbers of your music bands or/and movies you have to keep them the same as they have always been? I do know for a fact most people don't do well with change, but some change is good..

Answer 59

Im 46 and I don't think it does. Just most of it. At 18 Id listen to most things. Luckily there's still the type of music around I had when I was 18, just alot less of it. I dont go much older than 80s pop, but rarely that. I still like current pop, but a few specific singers, mostly young and female. A few rappers but not many. Too many hard core rappers out there

Answer 60

Every generation has some music that is not that good or as you say sucks. But music is a powerful means to express yourself. Everyday, things happen that sets our emotions on fire. And some people use music to express how we feel. And each generation uses metaphors, childhood TV shows we watched, and events of the day to express our feelings. One silly, example is Taylor Swift, writing songs about her exes, how she broke up with them, and how she was going to get back at him. Another example songs written about the War in Vietnam, and other wars. More recently songs written about the protests on cops killing unarmed black people. There are a lot of types of music that I do not like, or thinks sucks. But I also think there is much more that is good.

Answer 61

It all started in the 2000s, I know how you feel. I listen to Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC. The crap I hear on the school bus everyday is just junk. It's like they're not even trying. I have an MP3 player which has loads of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith songs in it. But still, this music is so hard to dodge. It's annoying, it's loud, they only care about money and drugs, and they only care if it's too "bass"y and it will be a number 1 hit. Sure some dubstep is good but it's not even the topic. All I have to say is.... "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution".

Answer 62

I agree. Older music is awesome. Alot of today's music sucks. But I'm sure back in the old day they had lots of terrible music as well. Unfortunately yes you have to really look for good music. Spotify helps.

Answer 63

Yeah I agree. Today's music is 95% autotuned stupid lyrics, (hotline bling for example). I'm 13, I listen to The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, The Inkspots, Andrew Sisters, Chordettes, Faron Young, Bobby Vinton, etc. Now we have songs like Hotline Bling, Can't Feel My Face, and Love Me Like You Do. They are such good songs by such talented singers! (note the sarcasm) Everyone hates the music I listen to at school, and when we get to play music for example it's mostly one person with a phone that plays requests. Whenever I request a song they say "It has to be from this decade" So I never get any songs played. But don't worry, I get the joy of listening to One Direction and Nikki Minaj. How wonderful.......

Answer 64

I'm 16 and appreciate every single band and musician you've listed, even a fan of some of them too. Everyone has their own preferences. Although I mostly listen to Alternative Rock and Indie Rock/Electronic, if you give me a good beat I'll jam to it, whether or not it's top hits radio, hipster underground or classic music.



Music will always change. In 30 years or so all the "cool kids" will be listening to current hits and trash on practically everything else. If you don't like pop, don't listen to it. If you consider yourself a true music lover, you wouldn't bash on other people's music taste. The point of music is to listen to what you enjoy.

Answer 65

I so know where you're coming from. The only music I listen to today is ranged from the 60's to the late 90's. When people speak about music to me they get shocked that I know nothing about today's music. But rather I get shocked that they've never heard of RUN DMC like what???? The Kings of Rock lol anyways people actually are listening to shitty music these days that talk about sex and how many hoes they've got and slept with then flicked off the next day. It does disgust me but their loss I reckon. The dirtiest music like the real dirty ones I've heard were from Eazy e and Geto boys but you know that they don't try too hard to be what they're not. That's the problem these days, but yeh best question I've seen totally agree with you 100%.

Answer 66

I've personally noticed something, specifically with heavy metal. Polishing. The old stuff of the 70's, 80's and early 90's wasn't polished, while new bands are, and have little kick in them, or just sound off, not crunchy, not even very heavy, compare Overkill's classic Feel the Fire with Skiltron, or any other metal band from the 2000's, it's very noticeable. With other genres, I guess they aren't full, or aren't using instruments, I hate all hip hop for that reason, but In also see a fullness that they lost, too, and pop music has definitely changed to the soft, polished, instrument-less, empty husks.

Answer 67

I'm 13 and even I think it sucks to be growing up with horrible music like this. I love 70's-90's rock including Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Ac/Dc etc. and todays Indie Rock. Most, MOST of the people who listen to Indie Rock also listen to 70's-90's rock. You just probably listen to the wrong genre or artist. There's a way around our horrible music. Everything has changed and been overthought. In the 2000's,people liked the music techniques and I guess they've now just being overused. Pop is really what's getting worse and I'm guessing you're referring mainly to pop.

Answer 68

Like many here posting , it is a matter of opinion. My taste in music is very diverse. Much of the music in these times is not as good as it used to be simply because ....it has been done before. Icons made their mark , and after that it all sounds the same. Especially country music , I want to take my own life every time I hear some of what they come up with these days. Nothing wrong with sticking to the oldies.

Answer 69

Generations

Answer 70

I am 15 and hate most of music today (not all) and i find that it is whatever you were brought up on. My dad introduced me to old music whereas others weren't. As to why it sucks is because it is easier to make and sell. However just because it sucks in your opinion doesn't mean that it actually sucks.

Answer 71

I think it's that the mainstream sucks. It's not that there aren't artists that care about lyrics with deep meanings and everything, just that they are no longer recognized. Due to the increase of media, things that were once taboo became more frequent and seen on tv and society began to accept those things and thus, with it, came the deconstruction of former societal expectations. It's just the world that we live in now.



I hate it to. But, I find the good artists, from screams all the way down to jazz and classical symphony. I listen to everything that I know has a MEANING.

Answer 72

I agree with rock music and disco music is also awesome! Jazz isnt my type. But yeah in the past people were talented and not like today. Concerts are playback shiit. Why is trash music popular? Lets take for example justin bieber, sorry belibers or how r u called i dont want to offend anyone but he cant sing. He sounds like hes sick on concerts. But he has the 'looks' and 'swag' and his autotuned music videos sound better than in reality. He also has the popular style and does stupid things that make him popular. He is also a satanist and whishes fame and money. The beatles were also satanists actually but they had a talent and their looks were popular in 60s. Many guys had haircuts like them lol. Fashion changes, technology is developing.. at the end i will be able to sing in future although im the worst at it lol. Also trash music is probably popular cause its melodical and has suffering lyrics which teens like. People r changing.. everything.

Answer 73

Lack of filter between origin and consumer.



It used to be that if you wanted your music heard, you had to put together a band, a good band. Then you had to convince people to give you gigs, bars, dives, dancehalls, clubs... Someone at one of those gigs had to be a someone, like a scout for football, and someones only go to venues that hold only REALLY GOOD local/ regional bands. That someone would take you to a studio, or refer you to someone who if they liked you would take you to a studio. You'd make a recording and then a studio executive would have to like you more than a dozen other bands. From there you get released, and hope they play you on the radio, so that meands the DJs have to like you... ...if you don't jump through ALL of these hoops, your band was dead, regardless, and the music that survives today, is really only the cream of that era. During the time of Mozart, they estimate around 15,000 pieces were written by different composers, today, about 15 of them are actually played on a regular basis by symphonies. That's 0.1%, which means that 99% didn't make the cut through the centuries!



Today, if you want people to hear your work, all you have to do is grab you iPhone and upload yourself to YouTube, and without the numerous filters, and studio executives only interested in Benjamins, LOOKING good is better than SOUNDING good because as long as you LOOK good, they can make money off of you.

Answer 74

I'm 13 years old and I really love listening to older music than the new crap we have now. I bet more people would like this generations music if we actually said words slow enough to understand and not thinking the best way to make a video for it is to do the most outgoing thing like riding a wreaking ball while making out with a hammer

Answer 75

Today's music does not suck. You just have a lot of genres. Each genre is unique in its style and there are alot of songs with deep meaning inside. some might like it some might not.

It is all in the perspective of the individual. Yesteryear music is also popular. It is not easy to rap properly or compose EDMs. These music have to be totally different in its style as the present gen people are very judicious.

Hey... all people aren't that stupid...

Answer 76

At 15 years of age i am addicted to pandora's classic rock channel anytime i am on doing homework or playing games on my computer i listen to it. There is nothing that can explain the rhythm. I completely agree with you music back then is miles ahead of todays turkey calls. I mean sure there are good songs out there but they cant compete with the Beatles, Billy Joel, ACDC or credence just to name a few. It makes me think i was born in the wrong generation. Its a unexplainable feeling when you find a song that you can get into. Also the music was a lot more authentic. You didnt have people who auto tuned their voices, you had people with actual talent

Answer 77

I'm 15, and I like a few songs from the 80's, and also from certain bands and music groups like aerosmith and lynard skinard (I think that's how you spell it).



I'm not a big fan of TODAY'S music, but I am a huge fan of the 2007 songs, because I listened to a lot of music as a little kid.

Answer 78

I agree with other posters here.



I would like to add: I don't think we're ever going back...



Here's why. In the old days people sat around their radio by the fireside. There was no TV, no Internet, no smartphones... There was a lot less to do in life, everything was slower. Of the activities available to a given person -- a lot more time was focused on reading, socializing, and listening to music.



Remember, the people who created the music you value were the sons/daughters of some previous generation who probably valued music a lot. In many cases those values or that appreciation rubbed off on their children when they were growing up. In some cases, it excited them so much that they wanted to create their own music. Granted, kids like to rebel from their parents, so the actual music expression would be different, but it would still be music. And it was created with passion.



Remember too for so many years, music got a big boost from MTV/VH1 on cable... because at the outset, there were only few channels on cable you could watch. So music gets elevated in social consciousness for entire generations just for lack of other options on cable.



Later, the number of cable channels expanded to gazillion. MTV/VH1 became a mere blip on the radar. Even MTV stopped playing music videos.



What about just people browsing music in a music store? Those days are gone too, because .mp3's crushed album/CD sales. The record stores disappeared also, so did music browsing...



There's too much stimuli (movies, video games, fantasy football, social media, politics, reality shows, tinder, etc.) today for people to want to produce music like they did back then when there wasn't much else to do.



Yes, you're going to get a few "blips" of good music every decade, but I just don't think it will ever go back to what it used to be.

Answer 79

"new music sucks" is a perpetual issue handed down throughout the ages. i'll bet you anything that your grandmother didn't really care for anything on that list, despite having lived through that era.

you see, we tend to have greater appreciation for the music that we grew up listening to. the music that got us through the hard times, and helped us enjoy the good times.

the fact that you don't care much for the newer stuff is understandable. i feel the same way about most new music (i no longer listen to the radio).

it's not that the music is not good AT ALL, just that it is geared towards younger people.

for me, i don't respect people as much when they don't write the music themselves or play any instrument. that's not a musician, but a karaoke star. also, for me, if the cover of the CD is the person's face, that usually implies vanity, and if a pretty face is the only way they can sell the album, i'm not interested...

again, looking at the sales, SOMEBODU enjoys the music. justnotme.

Answer 80

Not all of it sucks I like a lot of music today I think it just comes down personal preference's

Answer 81

One of the biggest reasons has to do with the industry's reliance on what is popular and profitable with the kids of today than anything. If you want to appeal to the hardcore fans, you will have to cater to that niche and it may not be that profitable given how less of them there are and will be given their age.



Also, music sucks today because it's too formulaic and digital. Lack of real instrumentation and a distinctive style. Even the independent record labels, given their fears of losing profits to Spotify and Beats Music, are now leaning to surefire artists to make them money. Adele is the biggest culprit of this to XL Recordings, a label once known for dance/electronic music like The Prodigy.

Answer 82

All people wanna talk about nowadays is "Trapping" with their crazy beats and girls in a video but there are good hip hop and rappers of today like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Ab-Soul, Joey Bada$$, Captial Steez (R.I.P). I used to listen to Kanye West but he became an a** well I just listen to his old stuff, and the only rapper I listen to with auto tune is Travi$ Scott. Other than today's hip hop and rap I'll forever love Nas and other than rap I love Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cage the elephant, Soundgarden ect. There's still good music today :-) don't give into what society wants you to think what good music is man.

Answer 83

Here's my opinion:



Plenty of music today is good



More of it is awful



Music from the 60's-80's is far superior



But that doesn't mean that music will never get better. I'm sure one day the music industry will make its comeback. But for now, just enjoy the old stuff, it's not like that's going away or anything.

Answer 84

It doesn t suck. You might just have anachronistic tastes. I m 51 and I remember just hating Disco back in the 70s. That s when I really got into classical music. I like Disco today but still not go-to music. Turns out, I just disliked the people I was around and they liked Disco. Also, I couldn t dance--I still can t. I like today s electronic genres like, Trance, techno, and a bunch of other similar styles. I don t like today s pop music but I ve never liked pop music. I do like it about 10 years later. Music is often a social experience. If you have a tough time with society, you re likely going to be out of touch with your generation s music.

Answer 85

Can I just start of my saying that you believe music sucks, that is your opinion and not that of others and therefore cannot be used to describe music today, how would you feel if someone said that the old fashioned music from the past you like was crap.



Anyway some music isn't great just like some of the music you like is basically pure shite, you just need to find a genre you're interested in, even if that genre isn't on the radio because it is not as popular as others it is still being produced, you just need to do more than turn on the radio to find it.

Answer 86

I agree 100 percent. I'm 13 but I listen to the Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Cure, etc. All of music today contains auto tune, or just sucks. Makes my ears want to bleed.

Answer 87

Well first of all that's your opinion. Second I thinks you think today's music sucks because it doesn't involve real instruments which really bring a nice natural sound. Also you never grew up with electronic, pop, and other music in today's generation. I grew up listening to all that.

Answer 88

Since I don't listen to today's music, I really can't say. But one reason is that *most* music has always sucked, but we only remember the good stuff. From Bach,whose contemporaries churned out reams of technically correct but boring counterpoint, to the Beatles, while we have forgotten Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Archies.

Answer 89

thats eazy

its one big music loop no break down in the song

if you hear a song from the 1950 and 1970s and 1980s to later 1985

thats music , anything made after 1990 its trash not ever worth 10 cents today , music today if you want to call it that sound something like a 2 year old child would make and companys today think rap is good its more trash not worth anything at all your better off giving your money to a homeless person , good luck finding any good music today

Answer 90

Much mainstream music is not up to par with a lot of older music. I would check out these 4 bands

letlive.

Stolas

Enter Shikari

Architects



I think you'll like at least one of these and find that there is much talent left in todays music, best of luck!

Answer 91

I did a paper in a college course called "Survey of Rock and Roll". My final paper was about how today's music has lost the ability to influence people. The music of the 50's changed lives simply because it was so very different from the music prior to that, with artists exploring outside the "normal" popular styles. The music of the 60's changed the course of history - influencing public opinion about the war in Vietnam, civil rights, interracial dating and marriage and the environment. This was accomplished using lyrics that called for thought and action. Nothing today compares.

Answer 92

Haha I feel the same way! I love classic music whether it's rock, pop, or even country. I even love the 90s boy bands like the BSB, NKOTB, & *NSYNC more than the "boy bands" we have today. I almost cry at the thought of today's music. I hate today's music. I'm glad there's people like you who have good taste in music and who actually knows what music is. This might not be making any sense because I'm typing fast and trying think of what to say but, again, it's nice to see people like you who like the classics. You're gonna go far in life, dude! :)

Answer 93

I'm 15 and I agree that most of today's music sucks. I'm ashamed of this generation for being the ones who disrespect women, act stupid, and talk trash and stand out for it. I also like quite a bit of the old stuff. AC/DC, Foreigner, Iron Maiden, all great bands. Iron Maiden being a little on the edge but I prefer christian music because its respectful and lets me have like a private worship session.

Answer 94

It's a mystery. I believe it's part of the self glorification of this era and it transcends itself within the music.



People argue "Aw, music is what it is to certain people and it speaks to them, yada yada yada".



Well, bad music is bad music, and a-lot of the popular music is ill composed garbage written by talentless hack musicians who create an image and are nothing more than passing fads. As a musician it's very easy to look at sheet music and notice that the majority of todays popular music is very much written on a beginner level. Bad music is bad music. Auto-tune is used as a crutch far too often, actual instruments being used is becoming rare, and electronic tech is used too much. I've seen regular church choir people or street performers who have more talent in the width of a fingernail than the majority of todays pop stars.

And what's worse is that people pay for garbage. It makes no sense.

And people wonder why this generation is referred to as "the wasted generation".

Answer 95

There's plenty of great music being made today - you just aren't going to hear it on the radio or other mainstream outlets.



A local college station is the only one around here consistently playing new music. If something they play does make it onto mainstream radio, it will be six or seven months later (with the station claiming it's 'new').

Answer 96

To me music today is not nearly as good as it was in the70's or 80's words meant something then, and songs were from the heart. The music today is mostly about how to make money without getting caught, or calling women the "B" word which women should knock the hell out of any man who calls them that! it seems they come out with anything just to keep the bills paid. The sad thing is we support it. I personally do not buy CD's

Answer 97

Because no one spends all their time doing it anymore, perfecting the art of songwriting. There are too many other things to do nowadays that people are interested in. No one spends 12 hours a day anymore perfecting their skills on guitar or piano and also singing all the time as well to get better at writing melodies. Plus music only pays good if you make it to the top level. Less and less bars are paying local bands good money to play like they used to. Furthermore, a lot of the best melodys and songs have already been written so it becomes increasingly hard to come up with new material. So you have to write at a higher level and be better than you used to be to make it. You also have to get good at writting lyrics and pay money to record and get your stuff out there. All of this takes many years of practice before you can get good enough to make any money doing it and a lot of people are just not going to put in the time or energy to reach this level anymore.

Answer 98

Music suck.

Answer 99

Back in the day (whatever that means) the record companies allowed writers more artistic freedom so you could get music like Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. These days it's more regimented and the record companies basically have a formula for maximising profit and they make artists stick to it with little variation. Few artists are given much artistic freedom. For an artist to develop and come up with truly great music, they need to be allowed to experiment.

Answer 100

You're 21 but have the mentality of a child. Do you want a cookie? Also, the artists you listed that you consider "good music," which is a concept and is highly subjective, also sing/sang about sex, money, and drugs. Why do people like to act like these topics are only prevalent in todays music, people have been singing about these things from the beginning of time. Your question is useless and reeks of entitlement.

Answer 101

Music sucks if you don't know how to find it! The only people who make it big are usually non-talented skanks and ignorant bafoons... HOWEVER, what if I told you that there was a very expansive and intricate network of artist and bands whose music is so utterly life changing that once you find it your life will never be the same!!! HAHAHAHA, you gotta look for it >_> It's out there, TRUST ME, the good music is out there. When you find it, and it wont be easy, you're going to hope beyond all hope that the artists you're listening to DO NOT go mainstream because... well, you know.



Cheers,

Answer 102

back in the slavery days a black man had a very deep reason behind the blues he hummed and the words he sung. .. this cultured sound of sorrow and suffering, and the hope and speckal glimps of a new place and time this burden would be lifted and the joy would be the reason to go on." somthing like that. IN OTHER WORDS---that true sound from the soul rings and pings the heart of everyone in this life that has paid their dues in pain,and frustration, and was feeling the reality of being alone on this journeys struggles. so in contrast the music and characters that you refer to as not so good and no class or not very seasoned or even thawd out, ha. people today have attention spans of nano seconds, and the primitive beat of a rapp songs begining, or the high soft pitch of a sweat young singer ,s love song, all have the cahracteristics to draw you to attentioin. so know this, a five star pop singer to a man alone in a forrest singing to a tree, all the notes ,words and harmony of nature . its all music my friend

Answer 103

Today's listening audience has to be trained to listen to decent music. When is the last time today's people heard a large orchestra. Do they know what a bassoon, oboe, french horn look like or the sound of them. And I'm not talking about 1040s big band stuff.

Answer 104

Can I just say you have amazing music taste? And to answer your question, people just suck at making decent music these days. I'm 15 years old and I'm saying this... Wow.

Answer 105

Because today's music sucks lol.

Answer 106

Modern day people have no clue what good music is. My ideal of good music is Led Zepplin, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Lynard Skynard, the Cranberries, etc. even 90's like TLC, or Evenesance. Some rap is good like Eminem, Lil Wayne, Tupac, maybe Fetty Wap. Indie is my absolute fav

Answer 107

Same could be said also about general values today. Look at relationships, people don't care about using other people, friends with benefits etc. The society has cheapened, and so did music. Musicians don't care about creating real music anymore, but to be relevant to the trend and making money.

Answer 108

It all started with MTV. They decided what we watched and what was "cool". For a good 15 years, they were playing music by rock n roll bands, etc, and that music was (in my opinion) pretty good. Eventually, the content they played somehow started to shift, the internet became a thing and people were downloading free music and musicians were loosing money. Another part of it is the majority of people that actually buy music are teenage girls- put some hot guy in a studio and have him record some song and the braindead teenage girls will buy it, but only want that song. Music producers found that people were only downloading specific songs and applications like itunes allowed people to buy and download only 1 song from an album, rather than the traditional (and superior) way of buying an entire album. Producers and record companies stopped giving shits about albums and found it was easier to make money by having some douchebag come in, sing a song, put in autotune and fake drums, and call it a hit. Then they would record a bunch of random **** filler songs for the rest of their "album", making people less likely to buy the entire thing. Then a bunch of people (mainly girls) will buy the one song off of itunes, and the popularity will put it on the main radio stations, making it even bigger, and there it is, a lazy one hit wonder pop song. Meanwhile, you have good rock n roll bands staying underground and/or giving up as no one wants to play them, as they dont have autotune or bland pop riffs. No one hears about them, no one buys their record, they dont make money, the passion is gone.

Answer 109

Well we are all brought up with our parents music since day one. Of course whatever they listen to would be our favorite. Eventually we here something we like, and its all kind of branched off as we get older. Today's music is great, and bad. Our parents said the same thing when they were younger. Just how music is.

Answer 110

I agree. That's my point of view though. I'm 15 and I hate today's music. I get a lot of crap from people about my taste in music. I hate how all these kids play their music out loud and ****, but i get a ton of **** if i play my music out loud. What really irritates me is my best friend gives me the most crap. Honestly, I think today's music is just about drugs and sex. Not saying that isn't what a lot of older music is about, but the way the express it today makes it feel weird to me. I can listen to a song, and I feel violated. I know that sounds weird, but that's how it feels to me. One of the worst artists today for me is Drake. I don't know why, but I can't stand his music.

Answer 111

The reason it sucks is because no one bothers putting any effort into it anymore they just get noises off a computer and slap it together and call it art it's sad to say but it's never gonna be as good as it used to. RIP good music

Answer 112

All mainstream music now a days is censored by the Government. The freedom that once existed in the music industry has faded. They want the general public to be distracted by sex and drugs, therefor music is projected in a pattern consisting of such throughout all categories. That if you aren't blowing money on fancy clothes, you wont fit in. They want everyone to be a certain way and revolve their life around irrelevant things (the kardashians). Music is all revolved around image because that's all that matters right?

Answer 113

It really does suck but consider, The great majority of music througout history has sucked. A fact that makes the music that doesn't suck- worhwhile

Answer 114

I like today's music

Answer 115

I don't think all of it sucks, but most does, including some stuff that I like. Probably the culture of today changing has a lot to do with it.

Answer 116

I have to agree with you that most music of today is pretty awful. We share the same music taste, but unfortunately music has evolved through the years into electronic noises and no real talent. It's just that people have grown used to the "music" nowadays and keep feeding new artists, thus promoting the new styles that have emerged.

Answer 117

Because everyone thinks being a rapper/singer is the way to get rich fast. So they throw down a royalty-free track, talk about FBGM, and have the producer make it into a song. Don't get me wrong, FBGM (**** bitches get money) is an essential part of life, but it's far too overused in "music". It's not just rap either. Rap has fbgm, country has breakups and loneliness. Country is just as bad as rap since most of their singers have gone pop.

Answer 118

I think some of it does but then again some of it is great. Tastes have changed I guess. Even back in the older days not every single song was amazing. Back then jazz and rock where popular however if you hated jazz then you hated that era of music. These days house music is more popular so if you hate house this era isn't great. Listen to the weeknd though seriously he'll restore faith.

Answer 119

I think it all comes down to personal taste and what is being played the most, causing you to come to a particular conclusion. You grew up listening to those genres, so you tend to lean more in that direction. I grew up listening to old/modern r&b and hip-hop and gospel, so I tended lean more in that direction. As I grew older I branched out and now I listen to practically everything but country and certain genres of rock/metal. It's really all about preference and what is "popular" today. You name artists like the ones above, but modern hip-hop isn't all that is played today. I can say that there is a lot of good music that is being played, you just need to get out of the mainstream.

Answer 120

Because different upbringing and morals result in different music tastes and not every genre will always trend. I'm a 19 year old and I'm a huge metalhead, and a huge fan of melodic death metal but it's not and probably won't be popular again like it was in the late 90's, before I even knew of it.

Answer 121

People society has made it popular to be uneducated and sophisticated. This is why. So as the last generation has had American Idiot by Green Day, as American Millennium Masterpiece that had orchestral followings and talent and knowledge, now we it's getting worse. The economy has a lot to do with it too. Teachers not interested in teaching kids in music class, etc.

Answer 122

Im 16 and modern rock music does kinda suck you want to know why? Because you cant create something great if something amazing exists its like comparing today's painter's to classic painters

Answer 123

Newer music tends to get looked down upon for no reason.

They get looked down upon because people don't look at the newer better bands.

They get OVERLOOKED for no reason.

People say newer music is crappy because music is evolving, and people for some reason don't like bands that adapt and change to a new era of music.



I will help you change your mind by giving you a few newer rock bands.

Foster the People. (best song Helena Beat) Yes, they are good. They are mainstream but that doesn't deny that they are a good band.

Alabama Shakes (best song Don't Wanna Fight) Relatively unknown, I think you'll like this a lot!

MGMT (Electric Feel) Quite popular, same reason people don't like them is the same as Foster the People, new era of music and people don't like it.

Arctic Monkeys (whole entire AM album) Post-Britpop songs heavy influence from Oasis and Blur, what's not to like?

The Black Keys (Howlin' For You) Blues Rock with an old music mixed with modern sound mix. Again looked down because they are adapting and experimenting for no reason.

The Fray (How to Save a Life) Melodic song.

Hozier (his whole debut album) Mainstream artist therefore disliked despite incredible voice.

Imagine Dragon (Warrior) Come on, same reason mainstream artist so everybody dislikes them. They have a great guitar rift, but of course they'll say that they stole those (how do people even steal the idea of guitar rift anyways) from older bands such as The Who and what not.

Muse (Time is Running Out) Probably the most unique and revolutionary of all the bands I've listed so far..

Phoenix (Listzomania) Upbeat music... disliked because they are, i don't know..., too upbeat?

Ratatat (Loud Pipes) Very unique duo artist. I don't think any music comes close to what they make because it's just that unique. Too bad unique is bad and nobody likes unique eh?

The Strokes ... no comment on this they're great.

Sufjan Stevens (Death with Dignity) How can you hate this song...?

Sia (Chandelier) Again.. you can't really hate this song. Depressing. Great Voice.

Mark Ronson (Uptown Funk) Overplayed song but you can't hate this 80s disco song..

Adele in general gets undeserved hate however she's a great singer.

Lykke Li (Youth Knows No Pain) Check her out.

Beck is still putting out great new musics. His album Morning Phase deserves more publicity than it gets.

Tanlines has a good album called Highlights.

In general what I'm trying to say is that all the good new musics get overlooked for no reason. People focus on all the crappy music such as the rubbish of One Direction and Jonas Brothers instead of focusing on the better music of the modern days.



HOWEVER

All the classic bands such as The Who, The Clash, Beatles, Zeppelin, U2, Oasis, Sex Pistols, RHCP, Radiohead, The Doors, etc.. I love them all still.

Answer 124

You actually listen to music and understand it. A lot of music today has one beat and one way of singing. Some people like it because you can dance to it but someone who likes to listen to music wants more variety of beats and rhythms which is why you like jazz. A friend of mine who started out playing guitar in a rhythm and blues and rock group who even cut a record eventually turned to jazz because rock basically has 3 chords and jazz tunes can have 7 chords and the time in rock is mostly 4/4 time but jazz can have 5/4 or even 7/4 time. An example of 7/4 time appropriately called 74 miles Away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmpV67Mgsl0

Answer 125

We eventually run out of innovations.It's common sense.But for me it's still pretty cool that we have the versatility to come up with alternate forms of music to keep the industry going.Sure the music may not be perfect right now but I'm sure you'll find a few songs that you enjoy.

Answer 126

I will be fierce and rude in my answer. There is no creativity. There is abundant plagiarism, and the uncultivated ear does not recognize it. Plagiarism fades in the middle of powerful poorly used technology.

Yahoo user, you would not be more accurate and precise about what is going on with traditional music.The decline is mostly due to lack of culture and lack of proper knowledge about the universe of present sound technology. The immigration of needy people, which brings sounds and music that are worn out and repetitive, like a" motto PERPETUUM", due to a diminishing in the standards of college music, from all around the world, has caused the music, to lose its perfection and genuine progress.

The influence of Latin American modern but awful songs, plus the criticism and ideology of MUSLIMS, have come to the end of respect for Our appreciated western music.

I give an upper thumb for Joe Satriani.

YOU ARE THOROUGHLY RIGHT.

I will add more information in another moment.

Answer 127

Today, you either have a rap beat, with harsh verbiage that oftentimes make no sense and minimal other "good" instruments - maybe a keyboard here or there.



Or you have a woman singer (or group - Hip Hop) that are intentionally way too sexy and show it off, so that the girls want to be like them and the boys dream of ... well, going to bed with them. The music itself usually stinks



In either case, there are a few good songs out there.



Let me mention that back in my day, the acts of Alice cooper and Ozzy Osbourne were dumb, however, there were very talented musicians in their bands.



Pink Flyod, Help!

Answer 128

I guess you're not listening to the right radio stations. Also, if you hate almost all of the music out today, doesn't that seem like a reflection of you and not the music? If you can't find anything from this generation, it looks like you don't want to find good music.

Answer 129

I noticed that years ago. Seems like everyone is b*tching, whining and complaining about something. "I'm not a perfect person." The lead guitar in that song is great but that's about it! U2 what happened to them? They need to take more time and put out another album like "The Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree! Caught them twice on the last tour, which were GREAT and I'd see them again on their next tour, but there latest music is pale in comparison to their music in the 80's and 90's! BTW, I don't care for rap!

Answer 130

I agree today's music sucks back than was more better cause their music sang from the heart of distant lands or mysterious people or their love and now they talk about drinking sex and drugs and well doesn't really make sense but it junk the music today is crap

Answer 131

Because it's all about corporations making big bucks. Let's skip CDs and digitally sell singles to the mindless public who need something to dance to so we can make billions......the bands want two things out of life: money and girls. That's what the record company and artist want respectively.



Back when Jethro Tull and Deep Purple were in their heyday, the idea was to come up with an entire lp's worth of songs........record companies would give them deadlines and the bands would produce a viable product.

Answer 132

Actually, its rather simple... music used to be about talent. Now its about perpetuating the money making machine, because they know no matter what they (the labels) put out there, some brain dead hipster will trend it just to be "in" with the crowd. (Sadly, the demographic for brain dead hipsters are the majority in the USA. I would go as far to assume most of them would read this, agree, and honestly not realize they are part of the problem. Then log into iTunes to buy "Xs and Os" or some other piece of trash the radio has convinced you MUST be good because they play it 500 times a day.)

Answer 133

You should look up MTV the death of music. It's because music used to be all about the lyrics and the meaning in the song. Then MTV came out and it just became a big competition about the music video and who could dance better and look cooler. Songs are no longer about the words and the words in older music is why it was so good.

Answer 134

There's a lot of bad music today, but there's also a lot of good music out there if you just look for it (something that was much harder before). There was crappy music in the old days too, it just didn't get as much attention as it does now.

Answer 135

Because it is not real. No heart, not soul, just copy, copy, copy. No truth. Most is electronic. And the public does not know great sound, and creativity, and so the "crap" gets by. Was a time when there was a piano almost in everyones house, a fiddle, a harmonica, bones, and family voices singing "together" and lovin' it. This was on a regular basis...it sucks because we have lost our way as people and as families, neighbors and friends.

Answer 136

Well that's your opinion but if the music today sucked it wouldn't sell, every generation has they're own music this happens to be this generations music, you just don't seem in to this generations music.

Answer 137

It's because music of today is only used to propagate people into believing and workshiping in satanic entities rather than sending out a meaningful and thoughtful message into people's heads

Answer 138

Todays pop definitely sucks. It's total ****, almost all of it. But there are exceptions. In my opinion, a lot of alt-rock is pretty good. Arctic monkies, black keys, modest mouse, and especially portugal the man. The Gorillaz are one of the best bands in todays music. RJD2 makes good hiphop/triphop, Blockgead is really good trip-hop, and all they rappers they make instrumentals with are pretty good too. Aesop Rock, Sole position, Blue print. Yes todays music is vastly ****, especially the most popular stuff. But my point is, there's still lots of really good stuff out there coming out every year, you just have to look for it.

Answer 139

It sounds that way because of your musical education, and by that I mean you have listened to past music and fancy the music when the present civilization achieved it's artistic pinnacle.



We are now in the declining stages of this present civilization, and all the current ephemeral noise labelled "music" will fade into obscurity (with rare and few exceptions of course) while the music that you value will endure far off into the future.



Today's "prophets" are the sci fi writers and if you notice that whenever you watch a movie adaptation of a sci fi novel where the main character listens to music--guess what kind of music you hear?



Certainly not the contemporary crap you are referring to.

Answer 140

I think that it is mostly personal opinions but being 18 I like a lot of the newer stuff, but yeah I will agree that a lot of it does suck. The most ridiculous songs such as watch me and hit the Quan have blown up into mainstream popularity. I noticed that newer artists are copying other artists in singing or rapping about money, having sex, doing drugs, F -ing bitches and such. I listen to the new stuff on the radio but I believe that older and more mature artists such as Eminem actually have meaningful lyrics and I appreciate that and listen to a lot of his songs

Answer 141

Talented singers usually don't have their music on the radio. Not popular radio stations that play popular pop music at least. Tons of Grammy award winners are never known mainstream. Just gotta look for these gems away from the mainstream lime light.

Answer 142

I m 16 so I m not really sure what it was like before, but you re right: it s getting harder and harder to find good music. I can t remember the last time I heard a non-cliche song on the radio. The fact is, there is still a lot of great music out there, but as you mentioned, you have to work to find it. I m a big fan of Spoon, Girls, Arcade Fire, St. Vincent, Fleet Foxes, and Beach House. Look them up I guarantee you like at least one of them :)

Answer 143

It's funny how you talk about music today talking about hoes and drugs and disrespecting women. Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics of classic rock music? It is mostly all about doing drugs and having sex. Also have you ever actually listened to some of those rappers you mentioned? Like Jay Z for instance? Do you know how many of their songs are about hoes and drugs? I agree with you about it being hard to find good music today, but that's because most of it isn't on the radio. My three favorite rappers ever are Kendrick Lamar, Jay Cole, and Logic. All three of them are far more talented than Jay Z, but I have to thank Jay Z for Jay Cole as he is on Jay Z's record label.

Answer 144

Now, with internet radio and such, theoretically, things could be better. The average listeners can determine what should be played or they construct their own "radio station" as such. That's better in that everyone can have input into what is played or broadcast of the internet or satellite radio. What is interesting is that the selections of what one hears is not limited to recent music. Maybe this will be better realized when more real stations do fully embrace letting the public decide what should be played.

Answer 145

I honestly believe that most of what you said is a biased opinion, not that I really blame you, as I am a year older than you and I happen to feel a very similar way. However, one very false statement you made was in saying that only modern day hip hop and rap is about "Bitches, hoes & Money". Listen to songs like "Eazy-Duz-It" by Eazy-E, songs by groups like N.W.A and others. Eazy-E, N.W.A, Biggie and others in that generation have rapped about these things to adnauseum, the only real difference is that today's artists emphasize these subject matters to the point where a "song" these days, hardly qualifies as a song by yesterday's standards. It's so mindnumbingly easy that any idiot with a laptop, autotune and Garageband can become the next T-Pain with fairly minimal persistence. Hell, I know of some "songs" whose entire choruses and verses consist of only three words! Somewhere along the way, we seem to have lost the motivation to actually try and learn how to become skillful at our passions.

Answer 146

EVERYTHING sucks now TV, RADIO! ALL OF IT! There was even BETTER music from the DOORS< JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, PEARL (JANIS JOPLIN). even 50's JAZZ was outstanding. I lived for a while with a car that had NO RADIO AT ALL! I LOVED IT! NO confusion! NOW they have MULTIPLE channels on each station with HIGH DEF radio! Most of the time, a song heard TEN TIMES is ENOUGH for me! REAL MUSIC these days is LOADED with bad lyrics, like RAP music! "KILL WHITEY", "it's WHITEY's fault," and MORE crap! I AGREE! So I listen to OLDIES stations mostly and 40's tunes! Even the wonderful 50's MOVIES and MUSIC was awesome.; Most later day music makes me want to KILL SOMEBODY!

Answer 147

Maybe we have problems adapting to the new trends? Still I agree with you, today's music is awful and not inspirational at all, today's music is just a gimmick to earn easy money.

Answer 148

I'm 18 and I LOVE ROCK MUSIC. I agree that today's music suck.

Answer 149

Yeah I'm 19 and prefer older music as you listed. Took me a while to figure out, but I realised. Modern day youth want to hear things with a beat, lyrics don't always matter, but they prefer ecstatic music like dupstep. Anything they can dance to in the club.

Answer 150

It is a matter of prospective. It depends on what your tastes are. Some older people out there will listen to Rap Music along with thrasher heavy metal. Then there are some young kids who listen to classical music written by Mozart or Bach.

Answer 151

No your music sucks im about as old as you and i like classical,pre-classical like 1920-40 and modern day pop and 90s music and some 80s music

Answer 152

ooh

i m 20 and i listen to A Tribe Called Quest too!

and i don t care much for today s music either. I only have a few favorite songs from today s music. maybe today s music style is overrated?

but i prefer 80 s and 90 s r&b music...that s my favorite music.

Answer 153

Artists today like Justin Bieber and persons like that don't care about the lyrics or what comes out of their heart. They just make random song that a little baby could do

Answer 154

Music companies.

Answer 155

Maybe kids these days are used to this new kind of contemporary pop and think that a beat drop is worth more than a singer's actual voice. And since they're used to it, they just want more of what they already want, and may not know or want to know about older music that may or may not be better. Everyone has their own taste in music. You can't please everyone.

Answer 156

Music today doesn't suck. You're just not listening hard enough. look up Run The Jewels, or Kurt Vile. or Young Fathers.

Answer 157

Depends on taste really, most of the music does suck but I like quite a bit of 21st century hip hop

Answer 158

In my opinion all vocal music sucks, but let's say video game music for example. It think the quality has been about the same.

Answer 159

Because psychology. You get attached to music you listened to during a specific time in your life (specifically around the ages of 11-13). You might see music as terrible, but the 12-year-olds right now will grow up loving it.

Answer 160

It's a matter of opinion and taste. I think a lot of the music you listed is awful but I'm from a different generation. I don't think you'd understand the music I enjoy but that's OK. The music of the day is directed at the majority of the listeners of the day.

Answer 161

I think so too! And I'm only 24 I'm way more into old school bands! Van Halen probably my number 1 but I do like a couple from today's era as well.

Answer 162

Music nowadays is sad because nobody even mentions Rock and Roll anymore. What happened to bands like KISS, Queensryche, Deep Purple, Elvis Presley, Slipknot, etc?



All that music is nowadays are about money, sex, drugs, and bitches. It's sad.

Answer 163

Too much autotune, and way too much focus on music geared towards girls in Junior High



But look on the bright side, at least the Insane Clown Posse never made it to mainstream music.



Their fanboys are further proof that fanboyism is a form of mental illness. Juggalos are sub-human

Answer 164

its not all music that sux. its the people who make the music that sux. all these lame *** pop singers and boy bands have no real legitamate talent. theyre just good at doing what theyre told to do by record executives and producers. most of the **** you hear anymore was written by middle aged "ghostwriters" that just aint pretty enough to put in magazines and on tv... take any random kid from any random high school and i bet they could can do exactly the same thing and equally as well as taylor swift or one of those retarded boy band kids does... my point is basically that the current music scene is all just a scam designed to sell you as much garbage wrapped in shiny packaging... metal dont suck because that takes actual skill and talent to make. it has to be written. arranged and played with instruments by individuals.

Answer 165

I agree, but then again I don't agree with you. There are tons of great Jazz, Metal, Rock, etc.. of today still making great music. There are tons of crazy talented musicians out there, they just don't get the attention they deserve because people are too busy listening to what the radio and tv tells you to. No one wants to google or youtube new bands... every one now a days wants to be spoonfed answers when they have the internet in their face..

Answer 166

I am in this age and I actually like the music. Many people can say your taste of music sucks as so you can say about mine. It is really all about opinion.

Answer 167

Today's music doesn't suck. That's just your opinion

The reason you feel it sucks is because its not your style. Nothing wrong with it, whatever floats your boat.

Answer 168

Not all of it sucks... You've just gotta find the music that speaks to you personally. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to music :)

Answer 169

Because today's artist suck

Answer 170

Because most of the songs is about sex, women, money, etc and don't really have a meaning. Back then, songs had a meaning. Listen to Jordan Spark's One step at a time, which is a very great song talking about taking Steps to your goal and it's okay to be unsuccessful at times.

Answer 171

Because it's all about business not the music and song meaning or a good singer with great voice to sing.

Answer 172

Listen to Two Door Cinema Club, Twenty One Pilots and Tame Impalia

Answer 173

You sound like my parents. xD



If you think today's music sucks, then you suck. Get with the times noob.

Answer 174

The passion for quality music has significantly declined due to the influence of egocentric and superficial pop stars in recent years, always wanting to out-do each other's self-deprecation, and defilement of themselves and other people, and It seems as though the quality music that you listen to is secondary to having the next pop hit. With that said- there is quality music out there nowadays, but you do have to search hard to find it.

Answer 175

because the record companies make lots of money now, so they rather use thier resources to promote an act rather than make art. Look at the women performers. Their videos look more like soft porn films than music videoes. So nobody really cares about the music. They can make money without the music being good.

Answer 176

There is still good music today its just a lot of what you hear on the radio and tv is all commercialized music meant to just sell and not really have a message to it.

Answer 177

Because this time period sucks lol & I agree. Most of today's music suck so I stick to the oldies, jazz, & the classical.

Answer 178

Not all music sucks

Answer 179

Because a lot of today's music is about boasting

Answer 180

It's a matter of perspective, really. People in the 50s didn't like rock n' roll when it first hit the scene. And that's just Elvis' stuff, not what KISS sang. I think it's a matter of being resistant to anything new and different, personally.

Answer 181

Honestly. Todays HipHop or Rap is literal trash. i am an edm fan. i like house/melodic dubstep and melodic trap. the synthy stuff with beautiful vocals. todays music does not focus too much on that which is a great reason why todays music is ****

Answer 182

Short answer: Nowadays, music is so easy to make and produce, that anyone can do it. Most of anyone is unpopular as a musician. And only the shittiest musicians will sell their soul to get money. So the shitty musicians make more because actually good musicians take the long route, while most shitty ones go on to be known by corporate affiliation.

Answer 183

Well I'm in the same boat as you really. Look at rock. I don't see another metalica or slayer..( last two credible groups). Look at hip hop... Now that Dre's protiges are getting older (snoop and Eminem). We are left with **** that is more "rap pop" rather than the Tupac, Eazy-E, Eminem style. ****'s just not as real.

Answer 184

The longstanding argument is that corporate BS in the music industry blocks real talent from getting through, so music we hear sucks. It's mostly true, but chew on this...

Pharrell got through.

Adele got through.

Avril Lavine got through.

Chris Daughtry got through.

Maybe this girl in this video will get through too.

Answer 185

Because too many, of today's record producers, are forced to record garbage

music.....there's just NOT any good music anymore.

Answer 186

It's very subjective. Music trends certainly change over time. New music that one person loves could be completely awful to someone else.

Answer 187

Music sucks today because everybody looks up to the Beatles and Led Zepplin.

Answer 188

Umm hello the people in the music industry aren't talented all they do is have someone else write a crappy ssinf that is catchy make an awesome music video and that's it nobody appreciates true musical talent anymore it is ridiculous

Answer 189

Because you are a biased nostalgiatard that won't give new things a chance. I don't think all classic and modern music sucks, every generation has its bullshit and diamonds.

Answer 190

I don't really listen to modern music - more Beatles, Michael Jackson...etc..)



Your opinion of today's music is exactly that - an opinion

Answer 191

Probably because you never listen to todays music enough to know.

You have become a grandpa.

You are limited in your taste of music and anything outside your limited perspective you are afraid of acknowleging as good music.

Answer 192

I don't think music today sucks, I just think that the music you're hoping to hear isn't getting the recognition it deserves, and isn't reaching a wider audience, so instead we're mainly exposed to the stuff we hear on the radio all the time.

Answer 193

I'm a 15 year old piano music composer. Sometimes we form have to think much about melody, relax enjoy your life. When the time comes it will guide you. If not create one. Good luck.

Answer 194

I grew up in the 50's/60's and there was great music. We had Blacks who could carry a tune and sounded great. We had harmony and songs that that we could sing along with and no profanity

Answer 195

It doesn't suck. Today's music just doesn't appeal to you. For many people not including me pop music is their favorite and they love it. I personally like bands like MCR PATD BVB AND BMTH so I'm not huge on artists like Ariana grande and that's fine. We all have different preferences and that's fine

Answer 196

George Orwell predicted computer generated music in his book "1984". Read 1984 if you want to see why he was right.



It is not the Big Brother aspect, it is the generation of entertainment targeted to the lowest common denominator which is the most effective method for sales, Taste and quality are subordinated for mass adoption which based on social and media pressures.

Answer 197

Music today doesnt suck!You just have ears for different music.

Answer 198

Just because you dislike it doesn't mean it sucks. Everyone has different tastes. I personally like what you like, but we can't judge because someone out there thinks our taste in music sucks, too.

Answer 199

I wouldn't say it nessisarly sucks, but I do agree that old music is much better. Guess it's just our taste in music

Answer 200

Prince talks about this in one of his interviews with Travis Smiley.

Something is cool when only one person is doing it!. When

Everybody does the same thing it isn't cool anymore.

Sugar hill gang rappers delight was cool and stil is because

It is a trend setter!. Now everyone wants to be sugar hill gang

Not cool anymore!.

Answer 201

Back in the 90's there were good and better music on the radios. Now that the good artists from the 90's such as Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Left Eye etc. are dead, we now have trashy rappers who say stupid things.

Answer 202

Because they no longer have Michael Jackson to compete with, 'artists' have become complacent. But don't fret, have you heard Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'Downtown'? It's a cool song.

Answer 203

In today's society it seems that everyone wants to sing about sex and in a very trashy way. Growing up love songs were amazing they actually made it feel like love was the best thing ever.

Answer 204

You just have a more refined taste in great music. One that the mainstream does not. Keep discovering great music my friend. Or do one better and create pieces for others to discover. Think of it as a resistance and be part of the movement. Keep on keeping on.

Answer 205

There were bad songs back then. Lots. We only kept the good ones. We'll do the same with today's music.

Answer 206

I tend to like the older music, but I wouldn't say that everything today sucks. It is just that the songs that they play OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER on the radio SUCKS and listening to someone THROW UP once isn't so bad, but OVER and OVER gets ANNOYING but there are many good artists today and many good songs today that usually don't make it onto the radio. I have an Amazon Prime membership and you can explore many different genres of music from Indie to Rock to Jazz to heavy metal, etc and if you listen to a bunch of musicians that you've never heard of before you'll find that there's a lot of music today that is pretty good but they don't play these on the radio because they are playing Shut up and dance with me over and over again. There is good and bad music from every generation. a lot of the great classic rock albums of the 1970's wouldn't even be released today and it's sad that they want this polished cookie cutter sound like Taylor Swift which I find appalling. One thing good about the internet is that you can listen to music from all eras so if you want to listen to Rosetta Tharpe play the guitar from 1960 you can watch a video of the performance on Youtube. I still listen to a lot of music from the 1960's and 1970's because I grew up with that music. I still think that my parent's records that they had of performances which were mostly in the 1940;s to the 1960's are better than anything that I've heard since. I used to listen to my parent's records when I was a kid over and over again. there's nothing like that kind of music today but it isn't that today's music is bad, it just isn't as good. I think it is because they have tried to make music too polished and used a lot of autotuning and electronics rather than people with just plain blessed from God musical talent and raw energy. I listened to a record from Dean Martin, and he was intoxicated, but his pitch was PERFECT not flat, not sharp completely on key not too fast or too slow just perfect. There's few people out there like that today. Maybe it is because people today are sober and they aren't stoned like they were years ago. Crosby Stills Nash and Young said they were stoned during the entire recording sessions that they did, but you can't tell it by listening to them their harmony sounds great.

Answer 207

Because now everyone blames music for all the stupid acts kids do so now they have to be careful what they can say in songs. It sucks

Answer 208

Just listen or watch Cyrus Villanueva (X Factor Australia 2015 Grand Champion) you will never be the same again. Great music, good performer.

Answer 209

It doesn't suck. Everyone has different opinions on music, and it changes over time.

Answer 210

Because musicians today are not professionally trained. Anyone can become a singer whether they are good or not. Folks like George Gershwin and Rodgers and Hart were classically trained - makes a HUGE difference.

Answer 211

Well, that depends on the person. I personally find today's music quite good. My range of music goes from the 50's until now, broad range of time and genres :) As for you, it's just your personal preference

Answer 212

Because its turned into more of a recycled money gimmick. True art and original artist seem to be a rare breed of today. Its all been said and done, but since people want new or really by to days standards,...."more" content than before, they just recycle everything.

Answer 213

i agree old music is awesome .a lot today's music sucks

Answer 214

You can't just say every single song today is bad. That's like saying every single song in the world is bad. Sure, there are some bad artists, (COUGH COUGH TAYLOR SWIFT), but maybe you should listen to better artists ; eg, Drake, Foster the People, G-Eazy ect ect. I'm not saying those artists you mentioned are bad :)

Answer 215

Start rocking, that's why music sucks. Make what you want.

Answer 216

It doesn't. One must differentiate: Mainstream music sucks, underground/independent music is awesome.

Answer 217

Ugh, I know right! Music today sucks! To me, there is only 1 type of music that amuses me... Japanese music...

Answer 218

u and dude, it sucks so.

They don't even deserve to can music rock & roll or country. music went out in the 80s.

for rock, to me rock was good for one generation 60s'-70s'-80s' it started getting good in the 1960s and went bad in the 1990s even though there still were little good music in the 90 and later them years and today for sure much went to hell.

Answer 219

Music today is better than its ever been. Before the 2000s most music was just terrible.

Answer 220

honestly i am 13 and love cassic rock i am a lil hurt you did't add gnr to your lis tbut todays music sucks so much because socitey is terrible now and music goes along with it

Answer 221

Couldn't agree more... but still, many modern singers and bands are pretty good.



But what do you expect when people like bieber, nicki minaz and some others are so adored? now a days, they sing about rich living, money, sex and a lots of other stupid stuff. I mean, yes, you can sing about them. But why always? isn't there anything else?

and many of them come for their looks and body. this goes for both genders. and look at the teenage hype with bands like one direction!! yes, teenagers loved beatles too, but they were worthy of it. they were actually great legend. but one direction? i don't think so.

and this goes for most of them.

BUT, there are still MANY modern musicians who are actually good. i would say, these good and bad are 50:50 here :D

Answer 222

If you are talking about mainstream music then yes a lot have became synthesisized and enhanced by technology. However there still are bands that are great. You just need to know where to look

Answer 223

I kinda agree with you, i dont think a lot of todays artists disresect women though, but i mean look at silento, the guy who wrote that whip and nae nae song, the song literally has like 5 sentences in it and he isnt even singing, there are some singers like sia, ed sheeran and heas more who are talented and CAN sing. I tend to like songs with a good meaning behind it, and i find songs with meaning are pretty hard to find today, harder than songs with actual singing.

Answer 224

I think today's songs doesn't really suck really. 2010's music have good music.

Answer 225

I understand how you feel now and days the music industry is all about the money. To me if you wanna hear good music you gotta listen to either indie or independent artist that control the creation of the music.

I also am a independent rapper check out my high quality music video below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e70tllvYDcY

Answer 226

I agree, i may be born in the 2000's but i know more songs and information than most people in the late 90's.

Answer 227

It doesn't. At least not anymore than it used to. You're just being exposed to what got the most popular over the years. You never had to sit through the dreadful music being played month after month; year after year back then. Your grandparents already did that for you.

Answer 228

Sure does thank God for 1950's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's music.

Answer 229

Well the more time progresses, The more music starts sucking even more. Sorry but i can't really do anything about it but complain

Answer 230

Nice choice of music. But with today’s music.... I don’t know. They may think it sounds cool when it isn’t like a child, but I don’t know. I guess since in our day in age music is getting more electronic, they just wanna make it sound like a computer made it.

Answer 231

One reason could be because good writers don't get paid enough these days with too much free music online. There's no incentive anymore.

Answer 232

You are correct, you have to find good music, your local radio station will not help you discover it. It truly is a shame, because new artist (like us) it could potentially take years to build a decent fan base without the help of radio stations.



Let me know what you think of our music: Illusion Of Time, Fight For Your Mind, Inquisition are a few titles to our songs.

Answer 233

Music today is "sucky" because many ideas are stolen etc and machines that can compute a rythem are widely used.



Dude nice man AC/DC , led Zeppelin , jimmi,

Answer 234

Everything is relative. You saying that you never had to look for good music "back in the day" and that you have to look really hard for it now is your opinion. I could name 5 artists off the top of my head that are well known and that I think are great musicians (that are popular today) and you could disagree.

Answer 235

I'm unsure if I agree or what I don't agree on. I'm 13 and I like rock songs generally from 2000-2003

Answer 236

Subjective

Answer 237

Society sucks nowadays

Answer 238

Why does Old music suck? Not saying it to be mean, i truly mean it. It's rough, and has little to no good melody or beat/bass

Answer 239

not of all of it does-indie music and bands/artists that are less famous are actually pretty good. You should listen to bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Built to Spill, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, etc.

Answer 240

It's catchy but not meaningful. People don't want to think to much, just be touched on an emotional level. The industry knows how to use canned **** over and over to achieve that effect.

Answer 241

Because Justin Beiver

Answer 242

Time marches on; Things change ! In 1954, I loved Rock Around The Clock ( Bill Haley & his Comets). Not everyone wants to be like YOU ! Keep your music, and someday, play it for your Grandchildren; They will laugh !

Answer 243

Now a days we're really reliant on technology as an artificial sweetener of sorts, or kind of like how ketchup is basically used to make bad food taste good. That's what we do with a lot of our tech.

Another reason is because people will keep buying it, and not buck the system or create enough of their own indie stuff to become unaddicted to aforementioned "artificial sweetener/ketchup". We're too addicted to it.

Monopoly-over lapping with other said music, all these corporations and music firms make you think individual and different groups of people are competing to give you the best music to choose from, but in truth they all work for the same companies and firms, one way or another. Because Monopolistic mentality has a way of making "competition a sin" (which totally goes against the ideals of true free market democracy capitalism), the same people control all the music. Therefore the music starts to become more uniform, and often appeal to the lowest common denominator to get as many people snapping their fingers and shaking their butts to it.

Lack of courage-music and art today seem to be about fitting in and making every one comfortable, even if it's self proclaimed "rebel music." Most of it, at a subconcious level, promotes a sort of machine like authoritarianism on basically recycled art stripped of it's originality. It's like they took legitimate music and cloned it, or raised it from the dead like a Necromancer. Adorno spoke much of this, talking about how the music and entertainment industry seemed like something meant to lull the herds of sheeple into a hive mind of sorts. People listen to music now to feel good, they know what they are going to get before they get it and zone out when they do. Nobody wants to make offensive or truly individualistic art because that doesn't appeal to the lowest common denominator, and they would have to make it have high quality for anyone to consider it.

A lot of pop music was valid individualistic music made by and for the middle and working classes. However, a lot of economic elite types (mind you, I'm not a socialist, just against crony capitalism and Neofeudal corporatism) took it and tried to make a one size fits all, not only to make more money, but according to philosophers like adorno, to kind of control what people thought and felt. It's like by limiting options, they no longer had to give you what you wanted...they got you addicted to one thing and told you what you wanted.

Also, there's a lot of economic tribalism in hollywood. If you're not part of the "tribe" or "club", you basically have to whore yourself out. Sometimes literally. I mean seriously, sleep your way to the top (or have your children sleep their way to the top. It's almost as bad as the mafia. I"m not being silly, I mean it). A lot of Media is controlled by the same corporations, families, and groups. Some of it you could identify as the "Jews run hollywood" tropes, or that the Illuminati behind the music industry are satanists, or that it's a faceless corporation. there's reasons to investigate but not fully assume each trope.

Regardless of who's at top (and it's probably multifaceted and multi layered), the point is, the corporate elites, who aren't true capitalists, conservatives, liberals, or jews, or christians, want a nation of workers and pretty but doped up farm animals.....not thinkers, patriots, saints, artists, and rebels.

So, as Rothschild said, he wanted ultra capitalism and communism under the same roof. What's funny about music, rap music included, is that it's promoting a certain cultural marxism that works fine under corporate fascism.

Answer 244

Everyone has a different taste in music. I like classical music, some people may say it's weird or make statements like "nobody likes ..."

Answer 245

Actually there are some amazing bands and rappers but the Music industry is letting kids in to perform sadly

Answer 246

it is simply because artists do not put in an effort to create good notes. they just want to earn money and want to release multiple songs in less time to impress the audience like taylor swift sucks adele sucks etc sucks

Answer 247

Because of very small group of people control the entire industry and prevent anything truly artistic or anything that has the potential of causing thought, they keep that out of the public ear and eye on purpose. Anyone who denies it is either dumb or part of the group, but that's why all of these no talent buttwipes continue to find airplay where people like the band I'm going to post here, remain unknown. Check this out and tell me if you still think all of today's music sucks.....

Answer 248

I think the reason that music "sucks" today is that artists really dont care how their music sounds, they only care about money

Answer 249

Art is not as Subjective as many of you may think.



It's true art is is subjective to a large extent, but people seem to think its more subjective than it truely is... for instance a finger painting by a child (or adult lets say to remove the child bias) could be called 'art' to most people who don't know, but if you take that same finger painting and compare it to something painted by a renowned artist side by side the finger painting seems kind of out of place due to the lack of depth, purpose and idea.



for a clearer depiction...



Think of a random book or story you have read in the past that isn't necessarily renowned for being a great piece of literature (twilight for example), now think of something that does have significant renown in the literary world like Moby Dick, when compared side by side Twilight lacks significantly in a lot of ways, sure its got some conflict, struggle and resolution like any story should but that is about it... where Moby Dick on the other hand is heavy in Allusions and all that literature mumbojumbo.



Now shifting to that meme of Bohemian Rhapsody being written solely by Freddy Mercury and some modern pop song being written by dozens of people working for a publisher. I think it is fair to call bohemian rhapsody something pretty close to a 'masterpiece' and that very few people would dispute that it is in fact 'art' where as most pop songs(grab virtually any blindly) are pretty shallow in terms of their message, lyrics and even musical complexity because their goal is not to make art or say something deep about themselves, but is pretty much entirely to make money, and something catchy, accessible and shallow(shallow supports accessible) is the best option for that.



So just to clarify I am not specifically targeting pop all generas are guilty of it, and no not everything is art and music is no exception but everyone is absolutely entitled to listen to what they want and sometimes you just want vampires instead of whales. Or finger paints instead of gaudy canvas paints. In the end, history tends to separate the good from the bad pretty well so we shall know in good time what music sucks and what doesn't! Much pop music currently has a lifespan of less than a few years or even months which is probably not a good start if the intention is to call it a piece of 'Art' musically but who knows, since Herman Melvilles work wasn't accepted as a Great American Classic until like 100years after he died or something.

Answer 250

Good ideas are becoming harder to come up with and people with real talent are out there. I actually enjoy finding the better parts of the new music ( the stuff you speak of) it's almost fun finding the gem in the dump you know?

Answer 251

Because most artists today are more concerned with making money than they are with making good music.

Answer 252

Because they don't have anything good to sing or rap about anymore. I don't buy and waste my money on any of that autotune trap degrading garbage like the "nae nae", hit the quan, in love with the coco, Fetty Wap and Nicki Minaj. Whoever downloads that trash like that on iTunes is stupid, uneducated and retarded and are a waste of life...

Just listen to techno music. A nice and cool music you can listen to (depending on your taste) that cant be worst than Justin Bieber

Answer 264

Good music is there. Truly. But, since Rock & Roll has been around over 80 years, several factors are making new good music difficult to find.

First, you have the music industry itself. No longer able to mover records, tapes or CDs, the medium itself has evolved to digital downloads with no actual physical form behind them. This has lead to rampant music sharing far worse than dubbing mix tapes for your friends. And, in turn, the money, the fuel which ran the machinery of the music business, dried up...at least in the sale of its traditional commodity.

In order to continue their existence, the big record labels which helped to create Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, etc., had to pool their resources behind fewer new acts and more proven commodities. Adele sells. So, Adele gets tremendous attention. Arguably, she's talented. But, she is one of very few remaining celebrities of the music industry. Beyonce is another.

Both of them are afforded the same treatment as a luxury car company, with brand managers and advertising agencies clamoring around their image, their brand, their manufactured celebrity.

For everyone else, the playing field is wide and deep. Easily accessible technology allows anyone with a guitar and a computer to create something of professional quality. Or, at least close enough. New artists give their stuff away for free to become 'established,' further diminishing the perceived value of the product (the songs) they create.

Additionally, by no longer selling music in packaged sets of songs (albums), and allowing for single-track downloads, It's harder to get to know a band or artist. The music means less. People care less. People pay less. Standards sink.

Ultimately, aside from the chosen few luminaries, the entire music scene amounts to a bunch of misguided children with dreams of being rockstars largely creating redundant, derivative work, freely available to anyone who'd offer them "likes" in social media.

The flow of money is no longer directed by the end consumer, but by click-driven advertising through YouTube and other similar media-sharing hubs.

And now, you have a weird variety of celebrity, more spectacle than spectacular.

So, those musical pieces which are most easily accessible are those things most appreciated by "the mob." As a result, we are deservedly saddled with train wrecks like Justin Bieber and any number of auto-tuned YouTube stars.

And, this is the dreck which rises atop an obscenely over-populated musical morass of everything imaginable.

Yet, within that morass you can still find gold if you look hard enough. But, sadly, the economics have changed. Genius is rarely recognized. No one on earth has enough time to wade and mine through the pile of crap to find all of it. But, I urge you to continue looking.

There's certainly enough material out there and a wide enough spectrum of talent and expression that there MUST be a tremendous amount of material, new material to suit your tastes.

Just stay away from the mass-marketing media machine. And, you'll find it...

Answer 265

Surely that's all relative? I think music is great these days... if you think about it, music now is formed from the lessons of all the music created in the past.

Answer 266

I don't really understand hat makes older music better than modern music.... It's just different.

Answer 267

You complain about trash music and you like Eminem? When he 'sings' It sounds like he's angrily vomiting up a slang dictionary someone fed to him.

Answer 268

It's because today people just want to make money. Before it wasn't like that it was the creative side, showing what you can do, saying what needs to be said, and breaking barriers. Making people feel what you want them to feel. Now it's all about making whatever crap sounds like the last "hit" song to make money fast.

Answer 269

Most, but not all of them, sucks. Alot have changed for the worst because we live in a different culture.

Answer 270

Because artists today only care about money. They don't care about true meaning most of the time.

Answer 271

Music used to be for the ears and now it's visual which may explain

Answer 272

Well that is a matter of opinion. Music has changed just like everything else

Answer 273

Because your hipster, and the only way you feel good about yourself is by indirectly thinking your better than the people around and of your age group because you listen to more "refined" artistic talent. Not realizing that thinking that way in of itself is ignorant because art is always opinion...but you could also be trolling by asking a stupid question like that....

Answer 274

It's a matter of opinion really, I agree that it's gotten worse, but it's more popular than ever.

Answer 275

Society.

Answer 276

Nenenrmmrmtmtmr

Answer 277

Im a teen, i agree with you 100% today music is pure retarded. All you gotta do is use auto tune and your an instant billionaire. Just say words like "Sorry" "Broken" "Love" Make the most anoyingist noises. I love rock music and metal and deathcore, mainly because theirs a story with the lyrics and they actually mean something. The only artist i like in the pop indastre is Ed Sheeran, but as you might know his new song is pure anoying with all the pop **** sounds he added to it. Society is ******! if you dont like this anoying **** people are rude as **** to me because i think its Anoying as hell.

Answer 286

Hip hop music is screwed and same with pop music

Answer 297

Music today is a lot better. tupac is garbage, but Montana of 300 is amazing.

Answer 298

Because most of it is not written by the artists themselves but by teams of people, and very few artists/musicians write their own songs these days. Plus with auto-tune the person no longer has to be able to sing.

Answer 299
