Musical taste is dead

Too many rock is dead threads get started. Too many country is dead threads get started. Rock and country both have really good music being made, but mainstream music is dominated by cookie-cutter, bubblegum bullshite because the masses have lost taste and attention spans. Good music being obscure is a product of the idiocracy.

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.).

This is very true. There are some incredible rock bands out there; it's that many people don't know of them due to the radio only wanting Beyonce bumping 24/7.
Just because radio rock is dead does NOT mean rock music is. (I can't speak for country, because it's not my thing)

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

Apparently rock is dead because we don't have rock stars trashing hotel rooms and doing lines of blow off a stripper's arse every night.

Whatever credibility the Grammy's had went out the window in 1989 with that retarded "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" award going to Jethro Tull over Metallica.
I was 17 and glued to the TV to watch Metallica play "One" live, and I'll never forget the look on Alice Cooper's face, Lita Ford all-out laughing, and the crowd's extremely negative reaction.
quote:
The result, considered an "embarrassment" for the Academy, generated much controversy.[16] In response to the criticism they received over the award, Jethro Tull's record label took out an advertisement in Billboard magazine with a picture of a flute (part of their trademark sound) lying amid a pile of iron rebars and the line, "The flute is a heavy, metal instrument!"[17] Metallica also added a sticker to subsequent releases of ...And Justice for All, reading: "Grammy Award LOSERS".[18][19]
I haven't watched The Grammys since.

I make blackened death metal.
Everything is dead to me except hate and other urges that are as black as night.
Im trying to help put the sack back in sacrilegious.

Beyonce is good. I wish mainstream radio played more Beyonce instead of stuff like Pink, Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, etc.

Ed Sheeran shits on all of those other artists you mentioned and I'm not even a big fan of his. I can recognize his talent, though and I believe he does in fact write and compose

I had a chance to speak to The Recording Academy's Senior Vice President, Awards, Bill Freimuth on Tuesday, shortly after the nominations were announced. The first thing I spoke about with Freimuth was the "Best Rock Performance" category and we asked him how Beyonce and Disturbed ended up in the same category.
"When you exclude metal, the rock category is one of our biggest umbrellas." Freimuth notes. "Not quite as broad as pop, but maybe the next up in terms of what constitutes rock – it can be blues rock, folk rock, ballads. All of that. I think what we found this year is that so many artists that were in rock or adjacent to rock were really taking more sonic risks this year than ever before, and it made for a really exciting dynamic landscape in that field."
He went on to defend the Beyonce performance as a rock performance: "That [Beyonce] recording has Jack White in it and it has Led Zeppelin samples in it and I think it's Beyonce really stretching. It's an artist at the height of her musical powers, really reaching in many different directions and we are all the better for it."

Maybe some of them I guess? I think his music is terrible. I'd much rather listen to a Beyonce record.

Ed Sheerhan is terrible.

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.

And they were correct, it's been a long slide.
