Why does music today suck?

[KingBlank]

I'm 15, i listen to techno music, and I always think that 80's techno is better, and every song was different from every other one, today is everything commercial, the composers only make music to earn, and not to make the listener enjoy it

Yesss, 80's techno is great, and I had never listened to it until fairly recently being a 90's kid myself, I love it.

What you hear on the radio is not the entirety of music today. Use the internet and find the music that speaks to you.

Yeah if you check into alot of the lesser stations and ones on the internet you can find a lot of good new music

It's not just music. Technology makes everything easier, so naturally people don't put in as much effort as they used to. So we end up with this tidal wave of generic crap because we have technology covering up people's lack of actual talent, so any pretty blonde with big tits can at least take a stab at a music career these days.

That's not to say all music today is lazy, or that all previous music was fantastic. It's just easier to be exposed to the cheap knock-off garbage these days as a result of the ubiquitous nature of the internet and the media. It's got a silver lining though. It's also much easier than ever to discover new bands with actual talent via the internet. These days there's something for everyone, you just need to look beyond the surface layer of low effort crap.

There. You can't word it better than this. I personally ( again ) like to make my own renditions of 16/8 bit music on my 3DS. I do agree that people need to look for their type of music rather than complain that music is " lazy ". Because a lot of it is. But there are people who like that. If you're unhappy that the music you hear is bad, search for something you like.

Problem is it's all rigged to what the big record companies push out

Not really. If you're unhappy with the music produced these days, you can always move over to Youtube to find some custom stuff. Remixes galore and fan music everywhere.

I know and agree but if you only browse the top 40, top YouTube music, top iTunes and so on it favors big companies but once you search (as you said) then you can find good stuff

It doesn't suck, it just means that you aren't interested in that music.
There's a reason why that music got insanely popular, you know.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

Justin beebs, Nikki Minaj, Kanye and a bunch of people need to be smited off this planet for giving Music a bad name. In a few years I'll have my own kid and I can't give them anything in this day and age that is worth listening or dying for.

If there's anyone to blame for this horrible uprise in music, its the younger generation.

Like holy shit, I miss when music ACTUALLY had lyrics.

...Just You Wait.

Granted popularity doesn't equal good plus both are largely an opinion

good or not = subjective

It isn't good to you, doesn't mean it's objectively bad.

I never said that just because it is popular, means it is objectively good.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Reuse and lack of creativity. Songs nowadays loop a line for 1-3m and that's it. It's a shame, I know.

I bet you feel like you're locked out of heaven in this situation. But you know what? You can blow my whistle! Or take a ride on my disco stick, whatever you want. The chance may come that you are sorry, for everything that I've done. You know, never say never. So take your chance and shake it off.

Very true
+1

Plus if you like or don't like a song or what not then who really care?

24 years old, I love rock, jazz...

It doesn't, or at least doesn't have to.





I couldn't listen to most of the stuff Postmodern Jukebox covers, but the covers are incredible.

If one of the covers doesn't send chills down your spine, you may be dead (or undead).

 

[loco365]

sure, I love the beatles and pink floyd and arctic monkeys and david bowie

but I like kanye too. and adele. and a bunch of others. there are fab artists out there and they'll be what people remember the 2010s as

Adele isn't bad, nor is The Sheepdogs and Imagine Dragons. However, most of the music you hear is either autotuned or perked up with what seems to be a whole canister of helium.
