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.

Oh, well that's very different!

I'm sure some will still be drinking some of today's bottles in 300 years, but there will hopefully be way more to chose from by then than now.

There might even still be a "hippie" or two around that thinks the only good music out there is still classic rock from the 1960s and 1970s, just like there are still some out there today that levitate towards music from the middle ages, like Ritchie Blackmore and his lovely wife. I am a bit of a lute fan myself even....

I think I would levitate that way even more for Candice Night if I could.

I don't think I'll make it that long. If Kieth Richards decides to do life again I'll consider it:)

I have to admit, the percentages aren't necessarily high but--if you look hard enough you will find some young artists you like. There are certainly more artists with their work available now than at any other time.

I'm knocked out by the Wood Brothers and by Kat Edmonson (not sure if that's spelled right). I would imagine there are others out there that I simply have not come across yet. I also enjoy a lot of the artists on our local scene, some very under-the-radar performers.
