Someone else pointed out punk rock, so I'd have to include that as well. I'll never forget hearing The Sex Pistols for the first time. Anyone who could scream into a mike, had a guitarist who knew at least 3 chords and had a drummer not stoned enough to keep a beat had a band.

Well, that is the nice thing about Punk, I guess. In a sense, the whole computer music explosion after 2000 is the deluxe version of it. Now everyone who can scream into a mic and knows three chords can have the Vienna Philharmonic. Hooray for technology!

hmmm. i don't recall Johnny Rotten ever screaming into the mike, at least with the Sex Pistols anyway. he had more of a sneer going on then, tbh.osiris wrote:Someone else pointed out punk rock, so I'd have to include that as well.

and if that's your list of exemptions, i'd say you may not have heard enough punk to be a reliable "go to" for that genre. or maybe it's not a genre that speaks to you as well as other genres... oh well...
I mean, I think a lot of dance music that I've heard is kinda insipid to be perfectly honest, but i also realize that genre of music is not for deep thinkers but dancers, so perhaps I'm just not the intended target demographic. and there's so much of it out there (like most genres) that if I waded through it all i'd probably find something i did like.
perhaps such broad sweeping statements should be rethought as they make the writer appear kinda ignorant and not really someone who loves music. just sayin'

But The Ramones exemplify 3 chord punk, and are easily the precursor to the pop punk bands we have today. Actually, I'd much rather listen to that than the rave bullshit you were listening to as a club "kid" in your 30's.osiris wrote:Someone else pointed out punk rock, so I'd have to include that as well.

Seriously though, its all just a matter of personal preferences in the end. There was good and bad music back in the day, depending on one's individual tastes...and there is good and bad music today, depending on one's individual tastes. That's it. What's the big deal?

Exactly Vespers, on the preferences thing (kind of a truism but, you know, true!)
And if great proliferation of means of production means a greater number of 'bad' stuff, I'm still much more happy with it than with scarcity and the tyranny of oldschool media hype.

That was an Osiris original and is fully copyrighted by ME. Those few exemptions are not a complete list. I did not listen to 'rave' music in my 30's, I listened to Paul Van Dyk, The KLF, and Robert Miles.....

Haven't read the whole thread but I just wanted to say that there was always bad music and good music. There is more bad music now since basically everyone can make music today and I guess we can agree that it's easier to make bad music than good music.
There is A LOT of really, really good stuff out there. More than there ever was in my opinion.
The problem with "traditional music" (drums + vocals + bass + guitar etc.) is that it's almost impossible to write something really new these days since everything has already been there in one form or another. The 80s (or what ever decade) music wasn't really that much "better" but it was new.
Be honest, many people say Depeche Mode were geniuses who wrote brilliant music. That's nonsense. It's just as "simple minded" (I seriously can't come up with a better formulation at the moment) as todays music. But it was new back in the day, which made it exciting. The same goes for just about every other "Everything was better back in the day" band.
Nostalgia also plays a big role. It's sometimes hard to stay objective.
Whatever Nintendo does, Super Mario World will always stay the best Mario game for me, even if there is nothing wrong with the new Mario games.
Cheers
Dennis
