Is Old Music Killing New Music?

I found Archie Bunker to be a sad, pathetic but funny character on TV. In real life, such ignoramus behavior is just something I find pathetic

@hilde45, This may come as a shock to you but Archie Bunker was a caricature, someone to be laughed at. The WWII generation did more to spread peace, freedom and prosperity to more other people than any other generation or country in the history of the world.

Today’s generation, and I include you in that category, only whines that they’re not being spoonfed to their liking, and we are just beginning to see the results of that attitude in music and life in general. Keep whining and see what keeps happening

I think that Alexander the Great did a better job to give peace to the world and education than US after world war 2...Think about the last 70 years of Us politic... 😁😊 Who was the victor after 1990 and what this victor made of his victory? Insane wars with insane politic...

For the generation problem i think that hilde is right...

We the booming generation are the one who created this world today not the young .... And the only whining people are old people saying that they were better than the younger one today not seeing the mess we created ouselves by being passive consumers at the expanse of the world itself...

Who created this world around us? Each one of us in the rich countries participate the older we are the more we are responsible...

Today’s generation, and I include you in that category, only whines that they’re not being spoonfed to their liking, and we are just beginning to see the results of that attitude in music and life in general. Keep whining and see what keeps happening

And accusing some generation of a problem which comes more from an inherited systematic totalitarian order globally imposed are childish observations anyway....

A clue: read about Rockfeller foundations education politic and medical politic HUGE impact to understand something, and quit blaming the young....

I don't think that "new music" is being killed by old music.  It is being killed by its lack of music.  If old music is involved at all, it was not a difficult task to dump what is being passed on to us as "new music."

I'm 66 and loved the 50s doo wop, opera, rock and roll and classical music when I was a child.  PRAT must have had a lot to do with my desire to hear music as the quality of the sound was mediocre from my tube record players.  It wasn't until I was 13 that I finally bought a Sony TC366 RR that I started hearing good sound (and 15 when I had a beginner's early stereo).   When music has a melody and PRAT that one can sing and dance to, how can one not be moved?   With my high end audio systems, I can appreciate radically different music as well from rock pre-1995, fusion jazz and 20th century obscure classical music.   I cannot sing or dance to Rap, Hip Hop and most pop of today.   It doesn't move me.
