(sorry for those who like country but it is all about "I lost my dog" and stuff like that)

Answer 1

I actually feel sorry for these kids who are calling this garbage music. If you want music that touched your heart, that filled your soul and comforted you, go back to the 70's. And for fun and good times, go back to the 80's. That's the only music that plays in my house. I never get sick of it. That was, is, music.

Answer 2

I think there is still some good music being put out these days just maybe, not what's on the radio .. what's on the radio is about the same as what has always been on the radio .. just a bit more trashy every year..and even some mainstream stuff is ingenius in it's own way ... however, I do love the 80s and 90s stuff a lot, but unfortunately there was A LOT of crap that came from those decades too! I'm glad you are a kid w/ a wide range of music tastes!

Answer 3

I love 80's music! And 90's too!

The real problem with the 00's music is that a lot of it is just all the same; its just a corrupted recap of what people were did well years ago. As for 'alternative', well, most of it is just... bad. It's underground for a reason.

I love 80's music because it just sounds creative. Like the artists were actually having FUN when they recorded it. When Gary Newman accidentaly found a synthesizer (sp?) left over from a previous set, he played with it for a few hours and thus came "Cars". The old music had a bit of freedom... experimentation.

I blame giant multinational corporations for today's garbage.

Answer 4

90% of the time it goes by what era you grew up in and when you listened to the radio the most.

Older people used to call 60's and 70's music "noise" and now those people that were once kids at that time are doing the same thing with music from today.

As far as innovation there really has not been anything too innovative about the music this decade, most of it still sounds like it is from the late 90s.

Answer 5

God yes. Actually I prefer the mid-late 60's, 70's, 80's and some of the 90's music to the meaningless garbage that passes for "music" today.

Answer 6

I'm just like you! I'm a teen and my whole cd collection is from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I like rock and roll. I can't stand pop music! And most of the rock and roll now days doesn't rock, at all.
I love: Nirvana, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, Guns n Roses, Metalica, Foo Fighters, Tool, Bush, Third Eye Blind, Collective Soul, Marcy Playground, Jeff Buckley, Beck, Stone temple pilots, and several other rock bands.

Answer 7

I like the 80s and 90s music much better than today's music. The artists actually had talent and the music was good. Don't get me wrong, there are artists today with talent, just not as many as previous decades.

Answer 8

I'm teen too But I don't like the 80's and 90's. Don't be like
everybody be you! And yes some music today is trash.

Answer 9

Rock should be rock, todays music is more "WHINING" and feeling sorry for me in the message than a "get back up and kick it in the ***" type of rebound energy.

Rock is supposed to be strong,

Emo is just country music played thru electric guitars with distortion.

Play country backwards and you get a " i got my dog back, i got my 4wd back, i got my house and my wife back.
Play emo backwards and you get, "im so loved, everything is great, I got laid, i got a straight partener, and no one hates me anymore."

anyone see a small similarity?

This whiney music should be played on country guitars.
Its alot of looking back, instead of looking foward like rock does.

Rock will NEVER die out.

Pure and simple.

People got back into guitars recently, but the singers all suck balls.

Oh yeah, punk sucks too,...

its got too much pent up anger and rejection in its vibe.
Its still feel sorry for me music, but on a different facet.

Instead of being sad, they are angry and pissed off.


Why is everyone so angry and sad?
we dont want your music bringing us down to your level..lol...

but yeah...

usually every generation has good music... but we wont really know what those songs are till 15 years later when they are still played and the others forgotten.

I grew up in hte 80's
I hated 90's music...

but now..
im strangely liking it, and songs i hated before.

You might like some of these songs in 15 years when the music gets ALOT worse... hell.. i might like some of this crap in 15 years...

Answer 10

I for one do. There are so many people out there now adding to the mix that true musical quality has become watered down. There are some quality bands and singers coming on the scene, but so many others are just copying something they have heard, instead of trying to be original. these 'rising star ' shows arent helping either. true talent often comes from being hungry, not being a clone.
