One cannot help but notice that the web is inundated with mostly Electronic based artist music. That is, mostly Trance, Techno, ect. and that there is a lack of more adult oriented artist music, such as Smooth Jazz, New Age, ect. This lopsided view could cause some to believe that Electronic music is a dominant genre, when of course this simply is not the case. I asked myself why this is and came to the conclusion that it is because the younger artist has more time to create and share their music while adult artists do not have this luxury as they work and must attend to more responsibilties in life.
Now, I am an open-minded listener, but am also an honest observer. After many hours of listening to all the sub-genres of Electronic music I cannot help but find myself desiring more fulfilling music than loop based ear candy. And I realize that this thread may ruffle some feathers with the kiddies, but equally, I am also certain that it garners support from other like minded more mature listeners. I simply wanted to bring this observation into perspective and hope that it will encourage internet artists everywhere to compose more mature type music. Thank you.

I've been an "adult" for several years now, and I still make bubble gum punk. I've "got no time" for the "intellectual" tunes.

There has'nt been a really big band since oasis or blur. You are 100% correct. It's a surge of non-brilliance probably caused by info overload and great expectations.

Smooth jazz is what competant musicians do to earn money. It's not something you'd own up to. I've no idea what new age is.

Smooth jazz is jazz with the life-force sucked out of it. New Age is smooth jazz with the music sucked out of it.

Just go to any hotel lobby, elevator, department store, or doctors office anywhere in the US.
