99% of music has always been crap. It just gets progressively worse. The golden age of music was cave man drums. Of course, kids love it. When they get older they'll miss the good ol' days of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, too. It's the way of the world.

I do admit that a lot of the sound is manufactured with no soul and artists that don't play their own instruments but that doesn't stop me from finding new things that I like. Maybe it's not the music. Maybe it's where you're looking.


the billboards top 200 are something like that.

*99%

Actually I was someone who strongly agreed with you a few years ago but I feel as though musics changing in the 2010's. From 2000 - 2010 it was horrible music I couldn't bare to hear the garbage they played. But recently I don't know what it is but I actually like a lot of the songs I hear. Daft Punks new album was amazing and that was full of auto tune. I'll agree musicians like Justin Bieber and Mily Cyrus are still just awful but you don't hear much from them anymore. 

I'm a big classic rock fan and always have been but it's just starting to get old, I feel like I need a break from it. It's been pounded in my head for the last 20 years it's like I have stockholm syndrome I've heard it so many times that I just accept it to be great. It could be the radio, every day at work the radios playing and it's always the same station that plays the same classic rocks songs over and over, if I hear Pat benatar singing hit me with your best shot one more time I'm personally going to drive to her house and  kick her in the face, I'm just sick of it. An old guy at work actually agrees with me he's very much into the need music today. The stuff out now seems refreshing and it's very catching, get's me pumped I like it.

You just need to go in it with a positive attitude, if you try to listen to new song and your expecting/hoping it's horrible that's what your gonna think, have an open mind.

Hell I'm adicted to Lady Gaga speechless right now?

I actually tried giving lady gaga a chance,but I just don't get it. I feel like that south park episode,were one of them thinks everything is crap. that was a funny episode.

for this topic though id have to agree, music has got realy shite, for me the gold years were the 90's and early 2000's where Jungle, D&B, Garage, old skool, heavy metal, nu metal and rock (i cant stand pop music, rap or anything else in the mainstream charts).

I agree, however there is good music to be found if you look hard enough. Try Arctic Monkeys, and Paramore. Those are great modern artists.

No. Also this notion of 99% of X sucks and used to better in the past has existed for who knows how long and has almost always been a sign of someone growing older and just not being able to keep up with the medium anymore or someone just wanting to go against the mainstream. Oh and nostalgia plays a big role too very often, especially with movies or games you've seen/played in your childhood.

I don't like music != it sucks.
