Music hasnt been good since the early 90s,the rap n owadays is horrible mostly,some rap is ok but the rest is trash,and the screamo and shit isnt music,i dont know how neone could consider that music,they scream because they cant sing and they still all sell out,my old favorite band Atreyu sold out,so has avenged sevenfold,and alot of bands,i wish music could go back to the way it was in the 70s,80s,and early 90s i wasnt born till 90 but i listen to music and love all my moms music,i love older bands they actually have talent and didnt need people to teach them to sing,which is how everyone gets there now adays

I would say yes music was better back in the day. It wasn't as perverted by big record companies like it is now. Music is seen less as expression and more as a source of income nowadays and I think that's wrong. Back in the day, people didn't know what to do with Rock n Roll bands. How do you market this new and exciting sound? Will it be popular? There was a time of excitement for people making music in the 60's and 70's because they were sailing uncharted waters.

In conclusion, Vietnam killed rock n roll.

Yes music was way better in the 60's, 70's, 80's and even the 90's, lol. It was actually music and the musicians were actually talented. And it was all about the music, not the money and glamour of it (the bling, lol). :mrgreen::peace:

music was so much better back in the day, specifically the 60's and 70's. i would've killed to have lived back then. now we have stupid spoiled brats who don't even write their own music and can barely carry a tune. for christsakes, someone give me a record deal.

Oh yea!! They used real instruments and not all the digital processing device that they use now. Plus in concert,like when I went to go see George Clinton in concert. They did atomic dog and it lasted for like thirty minutes,a true jam session!! Y ou can't do that with alot of bands today because everything is pre programmed to do what is imputed and rap groups all sample and loop all the oldies anyway! KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

I played music for a career. Started in the 60's, retired in 02' . . . I rarely listen to any music anymore. I'm sure there's still great music in all genres out . . . it's just so much harder to sort through all the BS to find what one likes. All the bands I like have lost members to death . . . I mean, how do you replace "The Band" in your soul?

Here's what i suggest the music industry (and the film industry, while we're at it) do:

Take a 10-year break. Gather good ideas. And come back, have another four decades of awesomeness in all genres.

Otherwise, I'm giving up on popular culture.
