You beat me to the punch.

Rok, I think here in lies your dilemma. Too much is being expected from some of us. I wouldn't change a thing:) 
Why does most new music suck?
Maybe, but it's always been the simplest melodies that are the most pleasing. History or not. That's the problem with originality. The more complicated it gets, the less pleasing until finally it's just garbage.Frogman, I believe my last post is s...

I happen to love Rok's style. As far as the op's concerned, I think we can take license to extend his query to all genres since it applies to all. It's already been made clear but just to state it, 'new' music is not a genre. Youtube examples are ...

Well done Rok. But Marty, Do you think you may be over complicating things a bit? Definitions of art become irrelevant to those offended by it. Why would I grade something I consider degenerative? To consider as you suggest, that early blues in an...

Oh but it is! This is where we differ. Do you think that the great melodies of the past would not exist had those who wrote them not done so? They simply beat everyone else to the punch. There are no punches left to punch. 
Why does most new music suck?
I think a clear distinction should be made between lyrics and melody. My son came home one day after school indignant that the new assignment was to write a poem. He thought 'How absurd to demand something from someone who may not be particularly ...
