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.

IF those are one's reference artists, it's no surprise no others would be deemed as good or better.

Doesn't mean those who came after suck though. Maybe only in comparison?

WHere are the new BEatles?

Stones?

Zeppelin?

Bach?

Chuck Berry?

Johnny Cash?

Those ships have sailed. What's come after may bear some comparison but is not the same.

So if your looking for new artists to fill the void left by other older classic acts, you will have a long wait.

Doesn;t mean the new music sucks though. Just more of a challenge than ever though perhaps to tread new ground. Many do it quite well if perhaps not to the same extent or scale or volume of output as some big names from the past.

THere will probably be lots of BEatles lovers 100 years from now, just like there are many who still appreciate Bach or Mozart today, but I doubt they will still be first in most peoples hearts by then.
