Is Old Music Killing New Music?

One need only watch NBC's Songland to understand why the new stuff doesn't hold up to classic rock. It's a hook-laden, originality-crushing, formula-driven process, designed to churn out bubble gum pop for mass consumption. Does anyone think Led Zeppelin, or any of the great singer-songwriters-composers, would put up with a newb like Ryan Tedder telling them how to craft their art? Absolutely not.

New music is being 'killed' because it's mass produced watered-down 'art', and people are choosing to listen to the old stuff, which is vastly better.

I'm done here.

It bears repeating that what we remember as good/great from our respective genres when we were 14 years old and knew everything about music is maybe 2% of the output at the time

Yes that’s the subtext of all these music threads - we put profound weight on the music we listened to in our beanbag chairs or when we were trying to play kissy face with Sally Ann or got high fir the first time with our older cousin or whatever
It’s not any better/worse than any other genre of music - just incredibly impactful for us

I really feel that if you play an instrument you look at music totally differently....I like the old saying

The players know who the players are.....

Better is purely subjective of course but I tend to like music that puts an emphasis on the instrument(s).....

Chicago,

Terry Kath is arguably the most under appreciated guitarist in history.
