The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!


I'm not a big Beato fan but he makes some good points at time. This is one of those times IMO. I know some of the younger generation will disagree with the whole premise. Being born in 1951 the boomer gen was hit with the same  indictment about the new Rock & Roll music. There was some truth in it. But we didn't care because we liked R&R. I expect the same from some today who like today's music. but I think if you listen you may find some morsels which can be enlightening. This is especially true for musicians who may find they agree wholeheartedly..

The reason I know the music today is crap is because of the 100s of music review channels of millenials and gen Z listening to music from the 60s-80s and being blown away by the actual music. The imperfections are what give music soul and they recognize it. No processing. Can you find soul today? Sometimes. But production kills it a lot of the time. 

I blame the proliferation of affordable electronic gear that made it possible for a bunch of "No Talent Bums" to be able to put their "product" into the mainstream !  People gravitate towards whatever is convenient but not necessarily valuable.  A lot of garbage came from those home studios and now we are expected to call the preparators "artists" !
