Distorted guitars to rock music was no different, it became a crutch for the untalented to release subpar music. I'm listening to my favorite bands from the 60s and noticed that distortion is widely absent. Trying to find rock past that decade without it is next to impossible --- Doggy mask, Pig hat, Penguin backpack! <cite>ScottSweatshirt posted [p:889525556] in Distortion...

ScottSweatshirt 10/31/17 9:17:55 PM #10:	It's also another reason I feel that metal music is awful, you have some decent ones like early Metallica but their not something I can truly appreciate or listen to constantly. It also undermines to music by attaching this edgy aesthetic that doesn't carry well into adult hood. I much rather leave those themes behind.

Distortion isn't inherently bad but its ubiquitous nature in contemporary rock has proved to be a detriment to the growth and listensbility of the genre. If I hear overpowering distortion in a song, I turn it off.
