The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

In this video Beato said something obvious about technology use in music his "perfection" versus human gestures and "imperfections"...

This point is made even clearer with A.I. coming...

And many here instead of seeing his point dismiss it as an old dude bias about new music... ( probably a case of seeing in the eyes of others the big biases in our own eyes as the ignorant claim above about music value always going upward in "progress")

Are you able to understand a book if you are not able to get the main point of a 12 minutes video without attacking the man who did it as biased ?

Beato is a pro musician and only spell evidences in this video ...

it is useless to go further in this matter, and we can dig in it way deeper , because it seems many here dont get a simple point , they need a straw man argument to feel better instead of thinking ..

We did not like our parents music and born 1951 and they did not like ours.

But today I have a tube amp that produces so much detail from a songs that I never knew existed in all the years listening to them..So at 73 since all I do is stream and go back and listen to what my dad would listen to on a Reel to Reel he had .

And you know I can listen to some of it now , not all but some .

I look at reviews of equipment and they mention songs that bring out detail for you to hear and most newer songs they mention I can not stand to listen to..

I hear new artist and ask who is that and give them a try and 98% of time can not play their music.. So 73 yrs old I listen to Peter White LOL and oldies and some of Dads old music...But each has to decide to their own beat what you listen to.

Not Worse but age has so much to do with it for sure...LOL

I get the criticisms for the pop music of today, many artists simply slapping out product using technology to cover up a lack of talent. But there are so many contemporary artists and music out there, real artistry produced with the tried and true technology of yesteryear. Pop music hasn't been important to me since sometime in the 90's so I couldn't care less about it's existence.

@baldric  the phrase, okay boomer, applies to anyone, not just boomers. And again, music paradigms are changing. If you're going to judge music by contemporary pop then just about every generation is going to suck. They're a hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of really good artists out there who aren't widely disseminated or played. As @sns said above, pop music is ephemeral at best. I kind of lost track with contemporary pop music decades ago and I still try to keep up with some of it but I'm much rather dive into the other genres that matter to me.

@dlevi67 I meant the present builds off the past, and thus advances it, whether it's knowledge, art, or music.  Of course the past contains great thinkers, artists, and musicians.  What makes the greats great is the ability to advance the status quo much further than the not-so-greats.  What made Einstein so great was both his intellect, and his ability to advance science in major ways.  The average physics professor today probably know more science than Einstein did, largely due to Einstein.  The same holds for the arts, IMO.
