Why does most new music suck?

Again, all the calls for open-mindedness and non-judgment are commendable; up to a point. Expressing a viewpoint, and more importantly, explaining that viewpoint in a way that is meaningful is not the same as being judgmental of someone else's tastes. It's simply an expression of MY tastes; and if someone is offended by that, I would say the problem is with that person's insecurity in his own tastes. Of course, as Acman3 say, it's all OK. But, if I say a certain music sucks (BTW, I think the Iggy Pop cut sucks, big time) I am saying that it sucks for me, not that the individual who says it also sucks. This notion that we should only speak about music if we happen to also like it, or if we happen to agree with someone's comments seems a little ridiculous, unproductive, and close-minded. What commentary, then, is allowed if one truly does think artist A sucks? Oh wait, I might offend someone if I say that! Seems ridiculous, no?

Acman, I could not get the link to work.

Frog, did you you see my post on 6/14? Did you have a listen to Alt J?

I have learned many things while being open to what is new. In fact, I have built a nice library of music across over 40 genres, including classic rock, as well as exotic genres like J-Pop, K-Pop, African, Icelandic, etc.... There are 6 billion people on this earth, of which a small percentage have chosen music as their artistic expression. This whole "this sucks" attitude so reeks of being a narcissist, rather than seeing the goodness that someone else has achieved some uniquely newer art that speaks to your inner sensibilities. Who cares if something stands the test of time, when today you can have something new to add to the soundtrack of your life.
