Beato seems like a nice enough guy but boomers gonna boomer, also his fanbase is the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST. Sometimes I wonder if he's just pandering to his audience of angry crusty old white guys when he makes those kinds of videos. Why is it so hard for people to focus on what they like and stop whining about what other people listen to?
Btw that video is nearly a year old and other YouTubers have since responded to it, here's a good one. |
Who's right & who’s wrong discussions about music are sometimes delusional. The idea there’s some kind of objective standard against which to judge a tune, album, symphony or whatever sadly fuels too much arrogance and too many arguments. OK, I can’t stand Dixieland or Punk for instance but all I’m saying is they give me the horrors. I’m happy if they make somebody else happy. Just don’t expect me to stay in the same room someone is playing the Sex Pistols full volume. OK, I’ll stick my head on the chopping block revealing the Salvation Army Band that stumbles into the final movement of Beethoven’s 9 Th. gives me the shi*s all I’m saying is I can’t stand it. If for some unfathomable reason (to me ) it takes someone else to heaven that’s OK.
On the other hand broad claims such as ‘Today’s music is so boring’ may have some validity given for instance the evils of autotune and the often absurd overindulgence in digital effects. |
I can agree with some of your points. Sex Pistols aren't my thing either, but I get their appeal. I won't judge. In fact, if I'm a passenger in a car with someone who likes mumble rap, I won't say anything. They're driving. By law, they have control of the stereo system.
I don't think today's music is boring. I find there is a lot of sifting that needs to be done. People turn me on to new bands that offer fresh spins on the types of music I like. A good example of this is the 80s rock revival happening in Sweden and Finland. |

I am interested to discuss.

I worry about what my kids will listen to. At the local park, I hear kids singing that talk about Bruno song. Drives me nuts!
At home, one kid is singing Frozen. A little girl wanting to be Elsa makes sense. The other one Rick Rolls me a dozen times a day. I can't really complain about that. I interrupted one of his rolls with some classic AC/DC. He was NOT happy with me. It's clear that I'll have to work hard to change his musical allegiances. Thank goodness I have control of the stereo for another 11 years, at least! |

Music peaked in 1983 and this is proof.
|
I thought this was released around the same time. I'm horribly wrong (1978).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn73Wtem0No I can't argue with the Dog Police. Is the lead singer named McGruff? |
We hear a great album and it seems entirely in the zeitgeist. Then time goes by new records are loved, and we look back at the day when we heard said album, but it’s no longer in the zeitgeist. Did I use the word zeitgeist enough
