I love all music, and i am a multi instrumentalist myself, been signed to sony publishing in the 2000's in an indie band and still get royalites from that, and have been playing guitar for 20 years now, and i also teach primary school kids and high school kids guitar. To me, most kids listen to way more hip hop these days, where as when i grew up it was more 50/50, grunge was big and then brit pop. Rock music was the biggest selling music last year but hip hop is the most listened to(streams) according to google. I personally listen to more hip hop as its seems more fresh and has more interesting characters/stories. Do you guys think that guitar based music has become stale to todays youth and has been replaced by hip hop?
