At least half of the music I listen to came out before I was born and I think that stuff holds up really well. It sounded good because it was good

Is this your way of announcing that you are also hard of hearing?

The sound quality of music from the 70s is so much better than it is today. Music actually had dynamic range and didn't have the bass turned up to 11.

Not dynamic range, its a subtle difference, what youre actually hearing is shit recording quality

I've listened and enjoyed music from the 1920s and the recording quality back then was potato-powered toaster.

Says the kid that probably only listens to garbage pop music on Spotify and has never been to a concert in his life.

People don't claim they don't make music like they used to because of the sound quality. It's a matter of newer music having no soul at all. It's just a product, like plastic cheese or energy drinks.

Then show me some examples of shit recording quality in old songs and examples of how great modern music sounds.

Most of the music I've heard from the 60s to the early 90s sounds fine. The superior technology they're using to make music nowadays doesn't matter if they completely fuck up the equalization and mixing.

*Goes to a concert*

*It's live music with the performers right there playing instruments and singing*

*Enjoys the music*

*Some scrub on the internet 30 years later: You only liked it because of the terrible recording quality!*

Even if the technology is worse, they still sound good. It's like how old darkroom photos can still be good looking even if they aren't digitized and refined and all that. If anything I also enjoy the studio sound of some of those older tracks, and some of the synthesizer psychedelic rock effects still sound cool. There's also more that goes into miximg and EQ than just the technology present. Idk what you're trying to brag about.

Why is shitting on new music bad, but shitting on old music totally fine? It seems like people are more prone to crap on older music nowadays. Not saying it didn't happen in the past, but I don't remember vast numbers of millennials shitting on big bad or jazz music all the time.

Agreed TC, whenever I hear a remastered version of these old albums their mediocrity shines through

It's the same concept of making boring music today, putting a lowpass filter and some vinyl crackle on it, and calling it lofi

Shitting on new music is bad because it's done exclusively by people who stopped listening to anything that didn't come out during their high school years.

Old music gets hate because people grow up hearing the trash their parents listened to ad nauseam.

The acid was top notch, but their weed was absolute crap compared to what we get today. Hell, today's pot is light years ahead of what I smoked most of the time in the 90's.

That's because you smoked astroturf in the 90s.

Actually it was Mexican brick weed. Good homegrown stuff was hard to get, and a lot more expensive.
