re: 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.).
