This might be why music sucks and millenials are boring

I think it got really bad right around here. All those fucking Disney kids. Sure they had some talent, but their "arcs" are so controlled.




All the focus became singer/performers who could easily be replaced.- like something outta a Gibson novel. Licking a donut while dissing "Merica is now a subversive act.

yes you have, you just may not know it.

You probably never heard this one though.


If you have ever heard Nirvana, you have heard a Pixies Song

I am sure you have heard this one..


I speak more about their influence than their body of work. I think drugs killed that by album three.

It's a good thing everyone can choose what to listen to and no one forces you to turn on the radio, that being said I don't listen to anything that I used to listen to when growing up. I've always loved electronic music and it only keeps getting better, at least for me.

That's a great point on the Disney garbage. Look @ Mikey Cyrus untalented ugly ass n her popularity.

I saw The Dead 20 shows, got into half of em but The Stones were horseshit when I saw em @ Soldier Field in 94..Pink Floyd was great tho..Rage against the machine @ the Aragon was the shit.. The Violent Femmes were great too. If I was born 20 years earlier I'd have seen the best there ever was in their prime.

You didn't read any of the article did you? What difference does it make if you change the radio station and it is just another station owned by the same people? But the article talks a lot about Phish and how cool Phish is.

I am curious, how old are you? I think you might have just proven the central thesis of the article.

The Talking Heads were probably the best band of the 80's and I think even with a very small body of work..they are better than anything today.

I`d give it to Van Halen or Black Sabbath before the Heads. Halen held it together longer than Ozzy could. David Lee Roth was one of the best frontman ever.

If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand, If there`s a Rock n Roll heaven, then you know they got a hell of a band

No truer words have been sung.

I blame the hippity-hop for all the horrible music out nowadays. Not old school rap, but the hippity-hoppity-lame-shit! I would be embarrassed if I was growing up during these years.

There is no such thing as the "Good Ol' Days."
There has always been shit music and always will.
There is more music now, which means more shitty music.
Do any of you listen to terrestrial radio?

There is tons of great music being made now. Probably more than ever.
The article starts off with a faulty premise, that radio stations control music.
Almost no one I know listens to terrestrial radio.
Taylor swift and Adam Levine? lol, that is what you get for listening to the radio.
Comparing Curt Cobaine to Adam Levine is a fucking joke.
Comparing Slayer to Van Halen makes more sense.

The radio was much more of a problem in the 1980s and 90s. It was much harder to find music than it is now.

I would have loved to listen to Juju music in the 1980s, but I did not know it existed. I can't even begin to think of all the music I have found on teh interwebs that I love.

I am not going to listen to music all day long that talks about cultural and societal change. Music does not have some sort of duty to talk about such things.

Love to you all. I am going to go put on Grime's latest release, "Art Angels" released last November.
In 1985 I probably would have called it pop crap, but now I think it is beautiful, layered and well made pop.

Then after that maybe some Deluge, which is French, ambient, black metal, post-hardcore.
Then maybe some Kendrick Lamar.

I don't think I agree with your take on what the premise was. It wasn't saying that there is no cool music, just explaining why so many millennials are uncool.

Of course there will always be shitty music, and it has been fun posting some.

So now you have exposed your coolness to all and shared some with us.

Whenever I drive through Iowa (flipping off all campaign buses I see) I try to catch NPR at night. The whole fucking state has unbroken good music from 7 pm on.

Check out their playlist - though it was the week that Bowie died.
