Fun Stuff > BAND
Is it a waste?
Rather Confused:
One thing to consider is that good music rearly "disappears" Even if the stuff these days isn't as good (I personaly disagree with with this idea) Anyone is free to enjoy older stuff and only add the teeny little bits of modern stuff that they enjoy or whatever to the mystic list that exsists in their head of "good music".
What I'm trying to say is that no matter what; there's nothing to complain about. Enjoy the old stuff? Horay! Newish stuff? Horay also!
The only point that I consider a matter worth being interested in is what "influenced" what? Is our generation listening to things influenced by things that where themselves influenced by basic genres? Is this the natural evollution of music? or is there still the flashes of genius that created the original rocking bands?
Spinless:
POPULAR mainstream music HAS had a sharp decline.
HOWEVER.
'indie' is now pretty much the new mainstream. And a lot of the 'indie' music is so much better than old popular music.
The only people who listen the mainstream now are the adults who complain about music getting worse and kids who don't know any better.
By the way, when I say 'indie' I don't mean 'jangly pop rock'.
Spinless:
Wait, I take all that back.
There are only like 5 bands from yesteryear people think were any good.
That just means people for the shit that they used to listen to.

--- Quote from: E. Spaceman ---besides, do we really want our beloved bands to become a circus show like the Who or The Rolling Stones?

I agree.
And besides, if we're going to count a lot of stuff currently in the charts as the music of our generation for the purposes of arguing "The music of our generation sucks as a whole" then we may as well include the Wiggles, since we are implying that our generation are a bunch of infantile morons.

--- Quote from: Night Rocker ---we all have good bands in the 2000 era, but these bands dont have any staying power.

That is a pretty weak arguement as we have yet to see if the newish bands have staying power. Comparing The Who to Fall out Boy or any other pop band is unfair, the Who automatically wins, both because we can clearly see how they affected the history of rock and because Fall out Boy suck. But are you really denying the fact that some of the bands we have today will stick around and be appriciated by generations to come?

all im saying is that bands that have a one hit wonder have ceased to make something new, bands that are not main stream may continue while maintstream bands get their attention and milk it. I wait to see a 2000 era mainstream band last for 20 years, and then good sir, and only then can you spit in my face

Point taken, there are few big bands today that I can see still going after 20 years. But, when The Who started out, do you think people instantly saw them as a band that would play on for decades? All I'm saying is time will tell, you might be right but we won't know until, what, 20 years from now?
