The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

I dont listen music because it is old or new but because it is good... Josquin desPrez is good and Bob Dylan too...

Music for me is not just the consumation of always new products one after the other... It is more exploring to discover something i will kept listening till death.

Then your sentence reveal that you listen music as a distraction from boredom then it takes always something new...All classical beautiful songs from the 60 &70 has nothing to do for you.

I myself half the time listen for the hundred’ th time what i love from any era since Gregorian chants till today...I dont use music as a consumer product to kill silence but as a sacred emotional experience...

Good music has nothing to do with his country of birth or his date of birth...

Bob Dylan was a genius then and is today..

I just discovered last week a promising new artist... But it is not so often... I ask if not genius true free creativity...

In a word i want if not ectasy pure artistic genius why less ?

I’d be happy to never hear music from the ‘60 and ‘70’s ever again. The newer the music, the more I’m interested in it.

While the gravitational pull here is music, looking beyond that subject, the video is easily applied to ALL marketing.  The generification of food, clothing, cars and tract housing speaks to data smoothing in search of replicable product that maximizes sales/profit with minimal corporate effort.

Many traveling far from home will still look for familiar franchise food in lieu of something regional, interesting and particular to the culture.  Eating at McDonald's while in Denmark.  Looking for Taco Bell while in Argentina.  Really?

People are by nature not risk takers, seeking the familiar.  They even practice it in travel, touching on only what's found in the brochure.  People are tribal and travel in support of that.  Cruises dumping 5,000 at a time on a port so they can find expected.  People do not like surprises.  They like easily digestible music.

@ immatthewj a good percentage of "unprepared" musicians are younger and think they are ready but are not.  However, it's not limited by age.  

Thanks for your enlightening interpretation with which i concur...

I will only add that like cooking, traveling, music also need always education of basic tastes...

I dont listen music as i did when i was young even if i kept my taste it changed and amplified encompassing world music and jazz and classical After Bach.

@celtic66 +1 Seekers are the few and far between, artists and consumers have to put in the work to discover one another.

I find plenty of new interesting artists, and I still listen to old favorites. I like to read the comments with youtube videos of the oldie acts, generally the comments betray youthful reminiscing and bashing of contemporary music.  Seems to me, these people lament their loss of youth, when one can no longer find pleasure in new and exciting things they certainly have lost their youth.
