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.

Some of you are commenting as if you've heard ALL genres...you're ignorant of many innovative & adroit artists.
I'm not saying it's a necessity but being an accomplished musician certainly affords you a better understanding of what you're experiencing.
Look harder before stating that contemporary music is crap...
Why do you assume innovation/progression is synonymous with young people...??!
