I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    lol I shit on music? I made fun of someone? Seriously? Please, please point out where. I made a statement about personal taste, that wasn’t directed at anyone in particular.

    I also pointed out something everyone that’s shitting on me (yes you too) missed. The organic nature of music is gone. The organic sound and feeling have been replaced by drum tracks, auto tune and digital all the things are gone.

    I promise it’s not a “music is so hardcore/edgy now” thing. That would be rich though.

      modern music SUCKS

      There you go. Saying that means that you think people who do like it have “sucky” taste. Better wording is “I don’t care for modern music” which shows that you personally don’t care for it. You can’t just say “Hey everyone all of your favorite modern bands suck” and then get upset when people don’t agree with you. If you can’t take the criticism, then don’t give it. No one asked for it anyway.

        No, I didn’t say anyone that listens to modern music is a fucking moron because it sucks. I gave my personal opinion, and even qualified it with I know it’s a blanket statement and there are exceptions. Those two things are not the same.

        Didn’t expect everyone to agree with me, however I was replying to someone else’s opinion on the state of modern music/concerts, which included my opinion and differed. That’s how forums work.

          ugh okay, last reply to you because I don’t have all day to go back and forth. No, your first comment was a blanket “Modern music sucks”, and then when people started calling you out you changed your tune to “That’s just like, my opinion man”. Again, saying “All modern music sucks” comes off in an arrogant “My taste is better than yours” way. You know that because you changed your wording to “In my opinion I don’t like modern music”.

          But don’t take my word for it. Reddit has an entire subreddit dedicated to the cliche of “Music back in the 70s was better”, “I only listen to Queen”, “Man music today is just so fake and unoriginal”. (I won’t link it directly because reddit bad, but it’s lewronggeneration). It’s a freaking trope now, and most people are sick of it. It is not original, it is not new, I know because I said the exact same crap 20 years ago when I was in high school about the same bands. Then I grew up and realized that people can like different things and music is not better or worse now, music is just music. I may have different tastes but that doesn’t mean that this music good that music bad, and that I sounded like a douche when I said all of that.

          To close out, as both a huge Queen fan and as a huge Taylor Swift fan (yes, it’s actually possible to like both), I’ll leave you with one of my favorite things to post to people who insist “music sucks now it was way better then”

            Maybe it’s because I’m old, but modern music SUCKS (yeah, blanket statement. There will always be exceptions, I know). It all lacks that organic warm feeling that elicits that feel good thing music used to bring. **

            lol try again. That’s my original reply above. Note the parts in bold that qualify my statement. Also note the part in bold italic that explains why I feel the way I do.

      I understand what you mean, it’s a reasonable conclusion for anyone to come to.

      sorry if I came off as shitting on your finly crafted retort.
