Its not that new music sucks, it just that the cutthroat nature of the music industry combined with the accessability of the media through the internet has insured that for every one original band that busts their ass just to make it to where they are, there are 1,000 wannabes that get signed overnight just for sounding like them. We the consumer/fans get inundated with all of it, and it amounts to sifting through heaps of garbage just to find something worth listening to. Of course, once we do we can be assured that the new flavor of the month will have arrived and the process starts all over again. So understandably its safer to go with music that has stood the test of time, but that's just as bad sometimes as having the media or pop culture tell you what to listen to
