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.

Csontos - you just don't get it. Not going to waste any more of my time dealing with your skewed perspective.

Oh I got it alright and they're in my collection. You torch bearers seem to think that us so called new music 'haters' are a bunch of lazy whiners. Show me one post where some one's lamenting 'oh woe is me'. You guys are the lazy whiners who can't seem to get it through your heads that there's more music than you'll ever be able to listen to just once not including this new garbage which is basically noise. We're just wise enough to not engage in a futile exercise.

Well, it was a very informative thread I thought regardless.

"I have fond nostalgic memories of record stores as well"... My now 7 and 9 year old granddaughters talk in nostalgic terms about the great times they use to have when we'd go to Barnes & Noble where they'd dance with the headphones on.

If I could have my way, I would bring back all the record stores I have frequented over the years and they and the ones still around would all thrive.

But, if I had to chose between how I found and accessed new music years ago to what can be done today, I'm afraid I would have to let the fond memories go and move forward.

There is one thing from the past I have mentioned in older threads that I would bring back. The more I think about it, the more I think it could be a viable business proposition to actually do it now more than ever.
