Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

Most of anything, music whatever is average at best pretty much by definition. You always have to look harder to find the gems. The real ones tend to stick around longer. Most fade into oblivion with maybe a very limited fanbase at best.
Blues in Bach -- Fenomenal!
I often heard in Bach heavy metal and prog rock... In other words zippity-doo-dah :)

You've forgot 2010's -- anti-war on drugs, anti-WWIII and jazz forever -- never changed; classical maestros still make a good living; music goes on
Wanna hear some empty, cold music? Listen to any of the early-mid 80's "New Wave" albums still in your collection! A lot of that stuff is no better than new stuff imo. I just went through my LP's and took a load of them from that era to Amoeba. I would never have listened to them again, the only reason to keep a record.
Agree with Bdp24. Nu wave pretty much sucks: Human Legue, Thompson Twins, Hall and Oates Meh...
I hated NW for teh most part when it peaked. I like some of it now in that it came and went and don't have to hear it all the time anymore. Like most all pop music fads.
