HELP ME ! Am i the only one who thinks present day music sucks?

Question

I cannot give you the words to describe my disgust. i realize there is a few good artists around . but i am wondering is it just me, or not?

Answer 1

it's not just you.
Every singer sounds like the next. Every song is just a variation on the last one.
I miss the old music, I miss real bands with real musicians.

Answer 2

You are definitely not alone in your thinking. I had the distinct pleasure to have grown up during the 50's, 60's, and 70's, when I saw and heard music progress and change. Like you I am really disgusted with a large portion of today's music, although not all of it is bad. When I hear current music on the radio, I couldn't begin to tell you who the artist is, and because I really don't care for the sound of a lot of the music, I'm not interested in knowing who the artist is. I continue to search out the "Oldies" stations on the radio..... not because the music is familiar to me...... but because that era of music contains the widest display of progression and ideas performed by some of the most talented musicians ever. In comparison.... today's music is just noise.

Answer 3

Most of the stuff on the radio sucks. People just listen to what everyone else is listening to. I listen to bands that have probabaly one song on the radio, but that is the only song anyone else knows. I buy CD's and end up loving every song, while people won't like the songs on the CD unless thay heard it on the radio already. See, I like Taking Back Sunday, but not just the song MakeDamnSure, I like all of their songs. People also played out "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", but Panic! at the Disco has more than 1 or 2 good songs, but people don't care. That's why I don't like Fall-Out Boy anymore. I liked them last fall, but all i haer is the same songs over and over again.... I agree with you!

Answer 4

oh my gosh, so many answers for a 7 minute old question!

i agree with the people who say that mainstream music isn't the only music out there. i believe that the record companies do market research and "manufacture" the music and artists to fill that niche. no originality, just marketing and branding with tons of money to go behind untalented artists. paris hilton has a new album out, enough said.

it's not like the music that's created by individual artists themselves because they just love to create music and want to get it out to the world.

Answer 5

I thought i was getting old but i'm totally agreeing with you i feel every1 is in it for the money these day and they won't be around 15 years from now or even 5 yrs its very repetitious and about the dumbest things does your chain hang low in a song (if you take the lyrics out it our ice cream son when the ice cream man comes down the street)and sing it about 8million times and theirs a few million bucks for ya and see when i see ya.... whats the world coming too lmao

Answer 6

Actually, -I- was wondering if it was just -me-!
You're right. So is most everyone else who answered. Almost everything out today sounds like it was stamped out with the same cookie cutter and then packaged with different labels. But you ought to try going underground and checking out some of the new -local- bands around. There's one called Madahoochi, and they don't sound like anything on the radio today!

Answer 7

I don't think all the music out there is the best either. I totally agree that there are some good artists but they're not all too bad.

Answer 8

I'm with you on this one. Nowadays all I hear about is how much money people have or whatever.
I listen to my own cd's cause most of the radio stations play the same songs over and over again.

Answer 9

I agree with you that today's music sucks and I agree with you that there are still a few good artists. My opinion is that Rock music reached its zenith or peak in the 1970's, everything today is either sampled or remixed, no originality at all

Answer 10

There's a lot of good stuff, not like in the 90's. I grew up in the 60's and came of age in the 70's. I used to listen to oldies and classic stations, but now I listen to the new stuff. Most of it is really good.
