Art reflects its time! Art reflects its time!!
Golden age-ism. It's a real thing, and it doesn't just apply to music. "Back in my day..." Whatever.
What's the point of music? If someone likes it is it low quality to them? Is your judgment of quality the end all be all? I have seen a kit of shitty bands but I try not to ruin other people's enjoyment. Do bigger names mean quality?1/60
I simply find that it's easier to discover good old music than it is to find good new music.These are my criteria -...
Very nice analysis.The structural defects of modern music are not important for me.The current pop music problem that annoys me is that the musical material, the final result to listen is bad, it is literally inaudible waste created by an unbalanced mind as are usually the artists.This is an example of repetitive music with hi quality musical material:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNPpXJi6nXk
I don't know - I rather like it! I assume you've never gotten high/drunk and danced to this type of music all night in a club packed with people? Fun stuff!
This veers completely into the realm of personal opinion, but I have no problem with the "democratization of music" via technology. It's great that anyone can create a recording, often as good sonically as anything you can buy, in their own project studio. Where I part ways is the point where the person doing the recording doesn't have any musical talent, or at least no ability to play and instrument or sing. Again, this isn't an attack on what *** you *** like, just a statement of what I like. Creating a recording via Autotune with ability to sing, programming the accompaniment to be played by computer, or speaking in rhyme over a track created with the aforementioned system, well...that isn't music to me and doesn't appeal to me at all. That's the main problem I have with "modern" music; it takes democratization too far. Not only does it not require a record label, it also doesn't require any "music".

In terms of the OP and the quest for art, there seems to be an oversupply of unskilled labour making records without any kind of filtration mechanism to tell some of them not to quit their day jobs...in all genres. D.D.
