People are increasingly dumb and obnoxious and music is just changing to cater to them.
It kinda is, though...
hey life aint yeezy
It's all about marketing, it's how Britney Spears became a star when she literally couldn't sing
As much as I love say white soul singer Allen Stone, it's hard to market a guy that looks like a literal Civil War Lieutenant on a hipster fad
Diana Ross didn’t get the job because she was the best singer...Britney Spears maybe not a great singer, but she could sing good enough for her catchy songs. And she had plenty of catchy songs that the masses liked.
lol yeah right man. show me.
Wouldn't say it's better, but it's as good as it's ever been.
I enjoyed them but the first one probably had some light auto tune and if you compare the second one to the song I posted, the guitar playing is pretty rudimentary, on the solo anyway. I just don't think people are as good musicians or song writers anymore. Sure there are alot of "technical" people on youtube but alot of them don't write very interesting music. I also find alot of music today is derivative and not doing much new. Most of all I just don't find the music to be as memorable. The 60's 70's and 80s were just special time. at some point after that people dropped the ball.

I listened to those tracks. They were cool. I don't really follow indie music anymore. I'm 30 unfortunately lol. how about you?Well I deliberately gave you something reminiscent of the 70s soul stuff, didn't want to give you something completely different. That stuff is deliberately derivative. But I mean music in the past was very derivative of older blues, r&b etc. as well. Music builds off stuff that came before.
I used to only listen to older music, and a lot of my favourite artists are from the past, but in the past few years I have realised there is good music in the time period I liked (50s-70s mostly), there was good music after that (starting getting into loads of 80s stuff) and there is good music now too. There has always been, and continues to be good music. Here's a handful of great stuff this year imo (sticking to 2018 only):
I think people are every bit as good song writers now as then (definitely not talking about the pop top 40 of course), you are just stuck in the past a bit (not a knock, I used to be mostly same)...how old are you jimmy jazz if you don't mind my asking?

lol nah, I guess I'm not that old! I hope you enjoy those prime years, because those are the best. I remember when the dirty projectors first came out. I saw Atlas Sound around that time, and at one point their gear got lost or something. So the Dirty Projectors lent Bradford Cox their gear. They sounded a bit different lol.I'm 23, a wee bit younger anyway lol, was near expecting you to say you were 50 though lol
