You don't think it's "As good as it used to be" because you have no sentimental attachment to the music that is being released today.

It's been written about hundreds of times. The music of our youth makes us think of our youth. You attach the music to a simpler time. You have no fondness to today's music, even if it's in a similar genre to what you used to listen to, because as you get older you don't relate it to life events like you did when you were younger.

So you don't even bother to seek out anything new, because you rather the comfort of your "youth music" and how it makes you feel.
I don't think I can deny that, I think about that side too.

My thing is just that playing an instrument and pushing buttons on a pc ain't the same to me, which is weird because I enjoy industrial music.

Just to be clear, your thing about no one playing an instrument anymore is whats particularly nonsense

Clearly you don't know a thing about electronic music if you think it's "just pushing buttons on a PC."

Youre right, its better.

because all the types of music that were around from the 50s-2000s are still being made, all those instruments are still being played, AND there are entirely new genres and new ways of making music that people never even thought of

In some countries, like Australia for example, Rock is still the most popular style of music (and if you haven't listened to King Gizzard, you're missing out).

If what I'm reading online is correct, Rock is still highly popular In the US but it seems to me that people prefer to listen to the classics while record labels barely give new rock bands a chance.

If you want good music, go look for it because it exists. Stop expecting people to do work for you.

If anything, this sounds like another one of those back in my day posts. If you want to go back to your day, go for it, but you wont have any of the technological advances that have come since.

I mean, King Gizzard is popular in the US too

radio is a dying format so it doesnt really matter what makes it big anymore. Fact is there are tons of great rock bands out there and you should be thrilled that they arent all arena level acts you need to pay $100+ to see

Ok, that's something. I think maybe I just don't know where to go for music anymore. Could you please recommend me some youtube link examples of some of today's best music? I'm in earnest, not sarcastic.

You should hop online and check out some "newer" acts and realize how many of them actually still play instruments during their live performances.

Ok, thank you that helps.
But this is why it's so hard. It's like I enjoy thousands of different songs that don't belong to one album or genre or decade.

Let me see. In no order at all (ugh, so difficult)...

Okay, this will be a combo of albums and artists that I like

  1. Prince Greatest hits
  2. The Smiths greatest hits
  3. Morrissey Greatest hits
  4. Eminem Greatest hit
  5. Jim Croce Greatest hits
next 5 to come right soon.

I was set till you hit me with Eminem. That was a bit of a right turn.

If you a big Smiths/Morrisey fan, give The Housemartins a listen, or The Growlers.

I suggest those with a caveat. I do not particularly like The Smiths, but a friend of mine is obsessed with them, and she always raves about those two bands being the closest thing to them.

I'm not obsessed anymore, but I was. And I can't deny he's made me the way I am today, Morrissey. It's crazy when I think how much of my life has been connected to this dude.

My own thoughts, being 36, wholly detached, and haven't been to a punk or hardcore show in like 10 years:

Nothing has ever died. Although I don't get into music like I used to - there's still relevant music in nearly any genre, as someone else in the thread already stated. There's still plenty of hardcore music being made, plenty of Kinsella-inspired emo music and midwestmo stuff, plenty of lame metalcore and deathcore bands (many older bands even changed their styles and have wide commercial success, like Bring Me the Horizon and Pierce the Veil and whatever else), djent bands, pop punk revival stuff (even with big commercial names attached), dozens upon dozens of offshoots of rap and hip hop subgenres, lame indie rock/indie rock adjacent stuff -- some of which are insanely commercially successful bands like that Maneskin band, tons of indie pop/folk pop type stuff that's still incredibly popular, and (embarrassingly enough) people are still making folk punk music. That's just like touching the iceberg of stuff that I'm aware of.

Yes, it's true that you listen to "modern alternative" stations and they're still playing stuff from like the late '90s and '00s -- but there's still some new music that's insanely popular. Even with rap music it's such an exciting time with artists like Kendrick, Megan, J Cole, etc. (among many other artists that could arguably be in that category) in the last 10-15 years making some of the best music the genre's ever seen. Women rappers in particular have been killing it the last five or so years. People who deny this are just bringing boomer energy and refuse to like anything new.

Even on TikTok and other apps - there's this weird, lame late '90s revival going on right now - and we're seeing newer artists drawing influence from nu metal bands, and bands that had been mostly irrelevant in the mainstream for almost two decades (like the Deftones) suddenly having huge resurgences of popularity.

My only major complaint about the newer generation is that between a weaning relevance of message boards (outside of Reddit), the chokehold streaming services have on peoples' perceived music selection (as well as fewer and fewer people using filesharing programs, the DMCA making Google blog search null, etc.) - I feel like so many people cherry pick a ton from different styles and genres and there isn't the same hyperfixation you'd see with Gen X and Millennials. My coworker who has like 8 kids, all ranging from like 12 to 23, said they don't have the same concepts of like "posers," "guilty pleasures," etc. like older generations had -- and people moreso like artists than genres.
