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.

Blues in Bach -- Fenomenal!
I often heard in Bach heavy metal and prog rock... In other words zippity-doo-dah :)

Don_c55,
You've forgot 2010's -- anti-war on drugs, anti-WWIII and jazz forever -- never changed; classical maestros still make a good living; music goes on
Agree with Bdp24. Nu wave pretty much sucks: Human Legue, Thompson Twins, Hall and Oates Meh...
As young and adult I was valuing music mostly by effort of musician. Most of modern and even past commercial music really bad while still there are lots of artists that can bring joy with their talent and skills. Practically nothing changed today: there are still great rock and jazz bands, great classical artists, but they're not on the radio or TV.
Sorry I don't buy the age factor
