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.

I hate Elvis Costello. Why? Because he's married to Diana Krall .... and I want to be married to Diana Krall.
What really sucks is the pandering, witless, sfb, utterly mercenary "classic rock" radio stations that are nothing better than 60's am radio with marginally better sound. 
I don't like rap but it deserves its place in the pantheon simply because it's still here - and amazingly popular - current popular r&b is...popular. I may not get it, or appreciate it for that matter,  but the guard has changed and I missed it. I don't miss missing it, either.  
My parents thought "my" music sucked - that's the way it should be!

I find very little rap or hip-hop that doesn't annoy or offend me.  I don't think of it as music at all--it's rope-jumping rhymes with loud percussion accompaniment.  I do like some recently-produced music, usually some sort of alt. rock or pop.  Anyway, I listen more to classical than popular music these days. 

I find some truth in this oversimplification:
Rap--people talking when they should be singing
Opera--people singing when they should be talking
I don't know much about anything but Classical but I do know I would much rather listen to the best of rap than the best of rock.

Far more intelligent, relevant and creative IMO .
