If you’re under 25 years old — or an immature 30-plus — I’m about to set your ass straight.
So, listen up.
Your music is fucking GARBAGE.
There, I said it. Mindless sewage. Eardrum-bursting, dagger-in-the-eyes, ass-bagging, blow your fucking brains out — unadulterated dog shit. That pretty much sums up the type of music that’s popular with today’s young people.
Listen, you stupid sons of bitches. I’m talking at you. I’m your elder. And I know MORE than you.
Your music hasn’t got life. It’s fucking dead. Your music is devoid of humanity. It’s as fake as a porn queen’s orgasm. There’s no soul. It’s tripe. It’s a carp in the sea of music. The stuff you listen to was created by fucking machines.
Today’s “artists” — there’s an oxymoron — don’t even need to know how to play musical instruments or sing. In other words, no fucking talent whatsoever is needed to succeed today in music. You heard me. No. Talent. Whatsoever.
And, I’m fucking sick of it because the current generation is taking the gold we gave you and dragging it into a sewer. We gave you the key to the CITY and you fucked it up. Listen up, you little pricks. I’m not stuck in some kind of classic rock time warp. Fact is, I expose myself to many different kinds of music. I give all music a chance. Even the techno-trash littering the modern music scene is something I’ve tried to digest, which I found to be like choking down a plate of raw oysters laced with salmonella.
It would be nice to enjoy fresh musical acts. I want to hear new songs. I like some young people, especially when they get my order right. But real music is written and performed by humans, not a fucking computer program linked up to a laser show.
Fact: The more fancy gadgets and distractions you need, the more your music just flat out SUCKS.
It IS possible to do computer music well... but it absolutely requires EITHER the ability to play one or more actual instruments, or the ability to both read & write music, so one has an understanding of harmony & musical structure. Which is of course too difficult for most, so they don't bother when the bar is set retardedly low.

This 100%

>as fake as a porn queen’s orgasm Well said oldfag.
Bentley Carter
You are wrong because music like all other art forms is fundamentally completely arbitrary and therefore not worth anything other than what you get out of it. Music and art can't be objectively the best, because it subjective. This is why I have very little respect for those who practice these things.
Jonathan Allen
And your into what genre user? Can’t flame a generation without showing your hand.
Landon Butler
Agreed
Jack Flores
this also this
William Baker
Tldr. Music is subjective. I think whistling to the beat of my steps is music. I kinda feel sad that you think typing that all out was productive in any possible way
Dylan Williams
how wrong you are. It's not those kids who listen to shit. It's you who don't know what they listen to and assuming you "know". Here have some good shit:
>Very little respect for people who practice these things.
That some dark shit user, everyone can relate to a song or piece of art in varying forms. Different emotions stirred, good or bad. One might listen to classical and thing utter bullshit, another it’s well “music to their ears”. You must be a right fuckin laugh at party’s mate.
Joshua Thompson
Such low effort bait. Take a (You) but improve your shit posting b next week.
Carson Parker
22, I listen to swing, electro swing, and sometimes ska
Levi Allen
Gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang
I mean I love music and various other arts but I consider the value of their producers low as everybody practices these things, and the practices' quality is not held in check by things like business or physical requirements its all cultural and there is an immense amount of space for you to be 'right'
You yell at the local kids to get off your lawn a lot don't you?
Matthew Cooper
Fuck, you fucking schizoid, can you normally express your thoughts? Your stream of consciousness can not be read. There is a feeling that you have broken thinking or speech incoherence. Just a verbal noise of some sort. Take the pill and do not forget to visit the psychiatrist you are seeing.
Alexander Roberts
>You have technicians here making noise >no one is a muscician >there not artists because no one can play the guitar
What kind of music do you like anyway?
David Sullivan
Well, while you are correct that computer programs are used to compose music, it's not exactly all just an automated process where a button is clicked and the computer spits out music. The music is as good as the composer. You're listening to mainstream electronic stuff, there is your problem. That is the type of music that is slapped together within a day. You need to dig deeper, because there are artists out there who spend months perfecting one single song alone. The best shit is underground. Unfortunately for you, you haven't found it.
Wyatt Morales
I've only seen one rap tune in the last few years that didn't suck, and I was surprised to find it was the Black Eyed Peas. Don't like heavy metal. Don't like pop. I like something that surprises me, like the fat guy with the big beard on Idol a few years ago who had the gigantic voice and ripped guitar.
I admit, I am sometimes surprised with somehting new. But mostly, its classic rock. Three chord power crap bores the fuck out of me, but an occasional ACDC tune makes me happy. I'm most inspired by piano players.
Jason Bailey
Thanks OP, you're one of the rare few that aren't deaf.
Oliver Carter
Bitch please. You can't tell me it takes no skill to play this youtu.be/ZPIVEixQ2yk
Joseph Miller
I'm 30 and I'm looong done with going around bitching and caring about the state of things. Music, movies and tv has all become much much more shittier, but that does not mean everything is shit. You say you lurk and try things but I doubt it. You sound like an individual filled with contempt and almost as if you've settled and decided things are complete shit.
>And, I’m fucking sick of it because the current generation is taking the gold we gave you and dragging it into a sewer. We gave you the key to the CITY and you fucked it up. This is entitlement and ego riding all the way. I used to think people ruined things I loved, but that's such a close minded, identity based perception. Nothings yours, time move on, new generations flip all the shit around. That's life. Whatever music you love is still the same. It's not like they went back in time and deleted classic bands to make room for Kanye west.
tldr: Love what you love, stop giving a shit about what you don't like and live your life. Also may be an idea not to throw words like immature around and different ages when you behave like this yourself.
Hahaha, you just insulted the last 40 years of music. Luddite faggot.
Eli Long
Yeah, it takes skill to play that, considering its derived from classical guitar. Andres Segovia could play that in his sleep. But it takes a special kind of retard to put the sounds of someone vomiting in the background, in lieu of actual lyrics. And another special kind of retard to dig it.
Jayden King
I like how I just passed a trap thread, a Loli thread and a nigger thread to find a deep philosophical discussion of music.
Asher Long
The vocal style is an acquired taste, but you've gotta admit the vocalist is still pretty talented for being able to crank out lyrics at that speed while screaming like an enraged animal.
The lyrics are pretty lulsy too, it's just silly fun music.
Josiah Reed
you're autistic beyond help
David Myers
You didn't give us shit we took it from you it's ours now and we do what we want with it. If we listened to the previous generation we wouldn't progress at all we would just kill each other over petty shit and trust the government. So take your pathetic war mongering ignorant ass and jump of a bridge.
Daniel Parker
people actually listen to that crap?
Jason Jackson
If it weren't for delta blues, you wouldn't have regular blues. Then comes rock. Then comes sampling. Everything is built on the previous generation. Peter Green from the OG Fleetwood Mac traces his shit all the way back to Howlin Wolf, and people today consider him one of the biggest little-known legends of stringed instruments.
I'd like to know where Ariana Grande fits into that. Or Demi LOvato. There are talented people today, for sure. But many of them are just Kardashians with a microphone and some weird effects on their vocals.
If I was at a Demi Lovato show and she did a mic check, and told the sound guy there was a dead spot at 680 Hz, I think I'd shit my pants. I almost committed suicide when P Diddy did Kashmir on SNL back in thee mid-90s.
Robert Hall
Not OP, but I'm an Uber driver and I regularly pick up middle-aged soccer moms who'll sing along to whatever garbage is playing on the radio. I guess that's the target demographic?
Can't play my music in the car, see my youtube link to archspire above.
Benjamin Foster
Yeah, it takes a weird kind of talent. So does yodeling. I couldn't even tell if the guy was speaking English, which is kinda like saying "who cares". to your vocal instrument. He plays a mean drum kit by throwing baseballs at it. Its more like a secondary bassline but with so much distortion you can't tell the notes. Its just "GRONKLANGTHROMBWANG" amazing. Wow dude, what kind of bass is that? Oh, its a Richenbacher, I wrapped it in a blanket and play it with a baseball bat.
Hunter Stewart
Sounds like you've got some shit headphones, bud. The mastering on that album is pretty fantastic (though the guitar volume is boosted in the video I linked)
Andrew Thomas
fuck off asshole
Justin Evans
Not using headphones. Everything I played all night sounded completely fine. I can hear the wooden chair creak under Springsteins ass in the album "Nebraska". Agreed, not your cup of tea, but the clarity is crisp and perfect. Whatever that guy was saying would sound exactly the same to me backwards and forwards. My ear is not tuned to black metal. (or whatever that genre is)
I definitely agree that music was much more meaningful in the past. quality really took a hard dip after 2009
Kevin Anderson
don't care
Cooper Kelly
yeah...no. I'm 2 years old, and have seen some amazing bands perform live, seens entire scenes come and go, and still go out and listen to new music as much as I can. Check out some of the new music out there user. Really dig in and give it a chance. Superorganism is excellent, and features a lot of synth and digital stuff. Cherry Glazerr is another up an coming young rock band, with a great sound and infectious front woman in Clemintine Creevy. The point is, you need to learn to embrace the new, stay strong through the fads, and keep on searching out new music.
Jacob Nguyen
Stfu
Tyler Williams
Im 21 and I listen to Metallica, G&R, CCR, Black Sabbath, Rammstein and others more.
Jose Morales
Yeah, that helped. Don't be offended, but the lyrics are absurd.
You ever see those super fast videos with cannons and war and bodies mangled, like three pictures per second? I still think its kinda pointless. Its all serious and shit, and I think its childish angst in a grown group of men. It makes me want to laugh, but those people take it serious, and don't like people having a genuine laugh at it. So I couldn't take it serious in a social situation, while they're all grooving out. I'd probably get beat up for laughing at it.
Henry Barnes
Slam and dunk.
Colton Sanders
Hm? I think you're missing the point. This band knowingly writes silly/ridiculous lyrics and I think they're hilarious. I listen for the insanely skillful instrumentals and the funny lyrics about some organization killing people to harvest their corpses for a zombie army are just a cherry on top.
The focus on speed and the screamed lyrics aren't for everyone, but I think they're great and I don't think any sane person would deny that the band is very talented even if they hate the overall sound.
Gavin Gonzalez
True as fuck op
Grayson Stewart
>The focus on speed and the screamed lyrics aren't for everyone, but I think they're great and I don't think any sane person would deny that the band is very talented even if they hate the overall sound. Not the guy you were responding to but I agree the band is tight, that vocalist though (is he particularly talented for that sound? i wouldn't know and can't tell.) is just a horrible shit smeared onto a pretty good sound imo. I'm pretty open to all types of music and I love older heavy metal but that style vocal just really rekt sound of the band. It's like you're forced to suffer through that shit to hear the music behind it, it's unfortunate.
I wouldn't say he's a fantastic vocalist, his main strength and unique attribute is his speed. Raw speed is kind of that band's schtick if you couldn't tell, so he fits in.
I listen to a loooot of music with screamed vocals, so I don't really mind it. It did take a while for me to get used to that style at first, but I just treated the vocal track as another instrument rather than try to figure out what the fuck they were screaming about. You do get better at understanding vocalists like this over time, but this band's speed makes it particularly difficult. The lyrics are pretty great though, so I'd recommend listening with a lyric sheet handy. I can't even read as fast as this guy screams.
