Musical taste is dead

Musical taste is also subjective...so....pretty much any thread / post that states "X is dead" or "X sucks" should be assumed to be followed by "(to me)." The rock is dead thread is a prime example of that, because many people disagree. It all boils down to opinion, taste, etc, which is all in the eye of the beholder. It's a bit pretentious (not saying you are) to think that your word is gospel when it comes to what we should or shouldn't like.

I do agree with this though:

Mainstream music seemed much more creative to me, pre-2000's. Globalization and the internet IMO has had a lot to do with that, because now people have access to every type of music imaginable, whereas before the internet, you had different styles of music in different locations (i.e. grunge in Seattle.).

Reading Facebook last night during the Grammy's was funny seeing some of the reactions to Sturgill Simpson winning best Country album.

I make blackened death metal.

Everything is dead to me except hate and other urges that are as black as night.

Good music must be discovered. Which requires work.. something else this argument isn't picking up. People are now lazy... so their taste are lazy

The same sentiment was expressed regularly in the 1970s by readers of Rolling Stone, Downbeat, Billboard, and other music publications with the arrival of disco. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Do people not remember the 90s?

Music is all about nostalgia.

Guess most people have boring lives now and miss the music from their fun days.

Yeah but that's really nothing new. I would argue that mainstream top 40 music has been shite for decades. Even when some of the rock bands I liked were in the top 40 the top 40 was mostly shite. Sorry, Casey K but its true.
