Has new music gone down the tubes?

There’s still a lot of new music being produced. From Ringo Star to Taylor Swift to My new favorite, Stone Rebel. I don’t know what genre of music you listen to, but even in Jazz there are current artists making new albums. Another favorite is Gregory Tardy. The guys 56 and has at least a dozen albums out. Blues has a bunch as well.

Why is that whenever I am in a store, I hear a lot of music from the 1960's and 1970's. Sometimes the 1980's. That music is 40, 50, 60 years old.

In the 1970's, when I was growing up, the music in the air was not from the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's. The boomer generation has been taking up a huge amount of air space for decades, and younger generations are way more crowded out than I was.

It's cultural capture and it's not fair to people after the Boomers.

When you hear music soundtracks I hear lot of old stuff

There is plenty of great new music. Just many more outlets. It’s not gonna be spoonfed to you any more. 

Have to find it. 

If you do, you have to sign up. 

I think music is spoonfed more now than ever.  Everyone listens to music on their phones and everyone can be alerted instantly when there is a new hit on tik-tok or wherever.

Another difference between now and when the boomers were young is that there was a huge difference between what boomers and their parents listened to. Today, kids and their boomer parents (or grandparents) share music a lot, they all listen to rock to a greater or lesser extent, and that keeps older rock alive.  Rock music killed what our parents listened to, as far as what sold anyway.
