if you are under the age of 18

are you pissed at the state of music?

im asking cause i grew up with mtv, the great, the good and
the ugly

and maybe the state of music in my opinion has turned to
shit overall, is that just cause im getting old or is it the
overall decline of our civilization ?

later brats.

My favorite time for music was around 1987-92 or so, but I
don't think there's a general decline since then. Maybe your
ear hair just needs a good trimming.

Sorry, I'm 18+.

i dunno
the state of music does kinda suck with the all the shitty
rap and numetal shit.

but also, the underground stuff is getting more mainstream
and we;re hearing alot of interesting production on some of
these new rnb and rap and everything tracks
i dont know if that's good

i think the underground scene is pretty well right now
though
lots of wicked new music

i dunno

the underground scene was the best around 96, kinda like an
exclusive club, finding someone into AFX was wonerful, but
now it's like "hrm,.. he's heard of afx, good for him"

people in australia listen to REALLY shit music

so if you're young, how can you tell that it's declined?
surely only people older can tell how music is progressing
as whole

I'm 30 and I don't give a crap about the state of music
today. There's some utter shite pushed in your face if you
watch TV and there's some top quality stuff, new and old, if
you care to look for it. Folks can moan and gripe about how
crap music is, but there's enough old stuff out there hidden
away in obscure places to keep 'em wowed for 10 lifetimes.
You'll be bored with music one day, then you'll discover
something in your mates' dad's old school friend's record
collection that stuns you even though it was recorded 20
years ago. For instance.

Yeah good call, whinging about the state of music is
pointless, coz you're not gonna change it etc etc
Just listen to what you like, and try to enjoy what you
don't and if you can't enjoy it, ignore it.

No need to go
"omg omg pop sucks I'm gonna stab a raver, let's murder all
teh rappers"
or anything.
Not that anyone really does
(well actually i've seen that shit be said but hey)

mtv used to be my favorite channel, but starting in about
1999 it began to corrupt. i think it's basically due to
mtv's excessive attitude about safeguarding public opinion.


good thing there are plenty of options other than mtv out
there to pursue, which i began to consider when i 1st got
into electronic music at age 12.

Yes i am, i don't know why, it just seems so manufactured,
no matter how much 'talent' the 'artists' have, it seems so
fake and false, and half the time its pure shit.

Lets take a good (well, they are crap) example, S Club
Junior, the pre-decessors to a band already falling apart.
They are 10-11 and they are talking about partying and
falling in love, this is encouraging girls that age to dress
up like tarts and for every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction

In this case its rape.

Plus, i can't see whats is so brilliant about mainstream
stuff, every so often a band actually gets into the charts
worth listening to (Zero-7 is a good example, i like them).
And i can't see what is so great about people like Ja Rule.
I can't hear what he is saying half the time.

Im glad i just don't pay attention to chart music much
anymore. I have found a lot more musical satisfaction with
Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, and all the
other Rephlex/Warp/Planet-mu all stars

Hit the nail on the head, Murray. Seeing as I am actually
under 18, I might as well contribute. The state of music is,
well, fine as far as I see it. Nothing really changes as far
as mainstream artists selling more than talented ones, and
I'm not holding my breath for that to change any time soon.
Oh well. As long as I have my individuality. They can go rot
for all I care. AHAHAHAHA....and so on and so forth.

As for the state of just pop music, well that's getting
worse of course, from what I've seen on TV, 30 years ago
almost all bands played instruments and wrote their own
songs, there was a sense of effort, which helps me get along
which any music. Nowadays all you need is to be
semi-attractive i.e. not ugly, and you can give it shot,
make a million of one cheesey record exposing the idiocy and
narrow-mindedness of our youth and then live of what they
make. One hit wonders aren't musicians; they're hit and miss
money makers.
