Is Old Music Killing New Music?

Sorry but you are already dead perhaps... I am not...I am 70 year old and i NEED new listening experiments...

Discoveries is my bread and wine....Enlarging my soul...

Try erhu chinese music it will help you coming out of your little planet...This music has a heart of his own...

I like new musical instrument...

Try the rudra veena one of the most sacred instrument in India...

Tastes exist, i have my own, but tastes are LIMITED and secondary why?

Because they can be enlarged by listening experiences save for crocodiles and other consumers where they stay fixed till death....

Try a new life....By a Persian master....Instead of a rockstar or instead of Mozart...It is a suggestion for the young soul in this old body....

😁😊😊😊😊😊

I’m 70 years old - I do not need ’education about my own listening habits’.

Try the rudra veena one of the most sacred instrument in India...

Stumbled across this ... Breathless - By VeenaSrivani ... What !!! ;-)

Thanks @mahgister

How much current music will be around in half a century

@berner99  define "current music"...?

'Really?  Take your pic,  last 5 years?  10? Longer?

For producer Rick Rubin, The Beatles' recorded achievements are akin to a miracle. The most popular bands in the world today typically produce an album every four years, Rubin told a 2009 radio audience. That's two albums as an eight-year cycle. "And think of the growth or change between those two albums. The idea that The Beatles made thirteen albums in seven years and went through that arc of change ... it can't be done. Truthfully, I think of it as proof of God, because it's beyond man's ability."

One thing I know that has changed over the last 30 years here in the US is the reduction of arts programs in public school education. The arts are always the first to get the axe in every school district across America. I have some familiarity with the issues since my wife is a theater director and fine arts director for a school district. 

Parents and schools just don't push their kids into the arts (music, theater, art, etc.)  like they used to do decades ago. The focus is STEM and athletics. Athletics for college scholarships and STEM for the big engineering payout (🤣). All the people I worked with during my record store days were all art students and almost everyone was in a band. Those stores gave those kids a place to hand out and talk music and who was playing with what group locally. That is gone.
