Why does most new music suck?

Bongo. Seriously? Haters of what? Those who say they like lousy music? That's a pretty revealing expletive, don't you think? It's interesting to note those on your side of the fence(which btw was erected by those on your side)never refer to those on the other side as haters of good music, but only haters of "The New Music". That's also pretty revealing isn't it. There isn't a person in this whole world, never mind on this site that hates good music regardless of when it was perceived. You've shown there definitely is a line between one and the other.

Because all the good creative drugs are gone.

Either that or we've all finally come down:)

Assuming what was said above to the effect of simple melodies being the best (which I agree with), that bodes well for music both now and in the future, plus creative drugs most likely need not play a major role.

There will always be those who are more adventurous as well, but they will likely meet with smaller (though not necessarily less enthusiastic)fan bases. That is even the case today with the more adventurous works and artists from the glory days of what is referred to as "classic rock". These guys (and gals) are the ones that will continue to draw the strongest opinions as well, like "this is the best thing since sliced bread", or "that sucks", whatever.

Its still a small % of the population that are even able to draw a meaningful conclusion regarding many of the best but perhaps lesser known, more esoteric works of even the classical masters.

And so it goes. We each can only participate and observe from our own always limited perspectives.

I'd be willing to bet that if some of those who are currently down on most new music would ramp up their "creative drug" input to their adolescent and early adult levels, their perspectives might change and perhaps even broaden.
