I can't take people who dismiss 'modern music'. Modern music is fine. Plus if it's modern music that's overplayed, then what are The Beatles? (one of my favourite bands, but still.) |

To write off all modern music is foolish.
However I do feel that in quantity, there are less artists who have or will probably ever have the same status as the iconic artists of past decades. There will probably never be another guitarist who will reinvent the guitar the way Hendrix did or artists who will create a cultural revolution like Chuck Berry or The Beatles. Everything just seems inherently generic today but in the 60s and 70s these things were fresh. Many of the biggest genres were just being developed. I do fall into the stereotype that older is better. Jazz was best in the 50s and 60s, R&B was best in the 60s and 70s, prog was best in the 70s, punk and metal were best in the 70s and 80s, alternative rock was best in the 80s and 90s, electronic music was best in the 90s and folk was sure as hell better in the 60s and 70s than all the derivative indie folk bullcrap we have now. Almost every popular genre has already met their peak by now. Unless there are new innovative genres on the way things do seem pretty dire and genres will become more and more generic and watered down.

Even though modern music isn't as fresh and original as the decades before it, it's still just as good. In the last 10 years we've had a lot of good music, and it's not been generic at all. A lot of bands have took their influences, whether it's post punk or psychedelic and really crafted their own sound from it. That said I don't know what the 'naughties' will be remembered for.. and I don't know what the 10s has in store.

Well, I admit that just because music will be less innovative in the future doesn't mean it will be inherently less good.
But even of the modern artists that I like, I can't think of any that are as groundbreaking as tons of acts from previous decades. I can't even think of any that are as groundbreaking as Nirvana were in the 90s and it's not like Nirvana were the most original band in the world.
