why are our teenagers generally so silly for buying the garbage music records ?

Question

is the good ole "Heavy" good quality talented music already dead nowadays ?

Answer 1

As a lover of 70s rock (and not much since), I've got to say that I've found the charts of the last few years a vast improvement on the last 2 decades. Welcome back guitars.

Answer 2

Bandying all teenagers into a group that only buys tat is a bit silly really.

Yes, a lot of teenagers like what I would consider to be crap music. Good on them. I liked crap music when I was a teenager too. When you're a teenager you don't necessarily want to sit there listening to the deep meaning within music. You want to jump up and down and listen to music that gives you a buzz.

So let them buy what they like. I pay no attention to the charts anymore anyway and just buy what I like. My daughter listens to crap but I have a louder stereo than her so I can drown it out.

Crap like Robbie Williams/Westlife is brought by more people over 30 than by teenagers as well... consider that mate....

Answer 3

Every generation has its good music that lives on and its bad music that dies. Most of the music from the 50s to the 90s was absolute rubbish. I know - I created some of it! We just remember the good stuff. Some of today's music will live on - just not a lot of it.

Answer 4

I'm sure they said of Mozart - who is this young upstart with his music that no one understands.

In the 30's it was the flapper girls and music which was scorned by the elders.

In the 50's Elvis was deemed to be obscene because of his hips.

In the 60's it was the Beatles who had parents worried.

In the 70's Slade, punk and other groups had parents worried about their childs hearing.

In the 80's parents couldnt' understand why their kids would want to listen to "that noise" called heavy metal

In the 90's parents worried over their children's love of Nirvana and other grunge.

We didn't start the fire.............

Answer 5

I'm sure people thought the music I was listening to growing up was pretty trashy, or just bad, but that's how the cycle goes. I agree there is little in terms of quality music out there today, and in fact much of it is pure trash, but then again who am I to say what other people should and shouldn't like. I hope I can expose my son to great music and he will grow up with an ecclectic range of music he listens to.

Answer 6

Never forget that the music we liked "in our time" and we consider as the best ever is just considered like garbage by many now!! Lets be tolerant and accept some teen music as our parents had to accept ours LOL

Answer 7

It seems so, but I remember my parents saying this about my music, and their parents said it about their music. And when I have kids, my their music will sound weird.

I think the music has lost it's meaning. Artists now-a-days are all about the record sales, and $$$$$. The true meaning of emotion is gone.

Answer 8

We want to move on,
unfortunately for you teenagers today (including me) are happy for the heavy music scene to evolve.
If the heavy music scene hadn't evolved when YOU were younger you'd be listening to the same things your parents were listening to when you were a teenager.
Its every ones own choice what music they listen to.

Answer 9

I have a feeling that the records I was buying at 17 (Stone Roses, Happy Mondays general baggy nonsense) would have seemed pretty silly to anyone 15 years older. So, I don't think its them, I think its us - we're getting old.

Having said all of that, My Chemical Romance suck!
