If any of you are a little older , like me, and you hear the music that come out today do you ever ask that question too? I listen to a local radio station that's plays todays rock along with older rock but other than the morning show I don't listen to them at all. Have you heard the crap that comes out now? I don't even think it should be called rock. There was a time when rock had great riffs and drum beats. Todays stuff is just horrible. Danko jones? Foxy shazam? Wtf is that? Little wonder why rap dominatesthe music industry now. If you don't believe me look at the stats. About 75% of music I hear coming from cars is rap and I'm not talking about the people booming. I mean I hear it from regular people with regular systems. Also look at any sports half time shows and look at the clothes people wear. Mostly rap inspired. I think it bothers me a little. Not that I don't like rap, I do, but its like just music in general doesn't have meaning like it used to. A good friend of mine calls rap "fake music". Not trying to smash on rap I just didn't know what he meant. He said its all computerized music that anyone can make in a couple hours on their computer so he doesn't consider it real music. Ok that's an opinion. He said it takes years just to make a sone in rock. Didn't know what he meant by that either but appa but you first have to learn to play the instrument which we all know takes time then you have to get a band together and then learn to play with them which takes time. Ok another good point I guess. I think that's why I enjoy older rock and heavy metal. Although the singing in metal leaves a lot to be desired the riffs and drum play are sic. Not sure where rock will be in the next few years but I hope it gets better or rock may phase out and we'll just have to stick with the old stuff.
