Why does most new music suck?
Acman3, I hear you. But it is what it is. You can't deny it. You can only try. What's the big deal? It doesn't change anything else. It's still all fun. So carry on.

Who do you think you are? God? Only He is infinite. If there is somewhere further to go, it is He that will light the way. Otherwise, use your math skills, quantum science, geometry, etc. to calculate your limited existence and face it! 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Hey, if you end up replicating the performance, all the better. I think it's everyone's goal whether we know it or not.

Acman3, I rest my case. It's virtually impossible to distinguish one of those bands from another. There must be some kind of a generic hat they all draw their material from. They could interchange members and still not change a thing. On the suck ...

Nonoise, I think a little of everything you've said applies to all of us. I certainly relate to your last statement. Don't we all long for the 'good ole days'? I knew they were happening when I heard Carly Simon sing about them. There's a lot of m...

I couldn't agree more. But keep in mind that within conservatism live the checks and balances, the anchor to the future. Without which there is no new starting point. Without market driven formulas there is no dissent. This is the earmark of the a...

Exactly. The goal is to fool your ears into thinking it's real. Original performance doesn't mean squat. 
Why does most new music suck?
Different dynamic way back when. Music was full of politics; industrial revolution in fruition, birth of rock n' roll, beatniks, long hair, hippie movement. It was 1963 when I saw two guys walking down our street with hair way down past their shou...

Most importantly, he didn't ask 'if' it sucks. That is clearly a given. 
Why does most new music suck?
That thing you asked about, to use your words, sucks expletively big time. How 'big a deal' was it back then as a mere novelty? Pretty big imo as the novelties constituted entire collections. Anybody out there listening to the Beatles on their Mag...
