After looking/skimming through these I stand by my statement that most music is mass produced trash.
Fuck it, I give up. Music is dying.

People only remember the good music from years past...for example, the works of the great classical composers are pretty small in number compared to the amount of time, something like a good 400 years. There's a whole lot of mediocre, forgettable, or downright terrible music from that period that hasn't survived to the present.

..I used to think so too,probably for the same reasons as you-basically the era of great music is long gone,which is something you'll notice seeing how almost all the members of great bands are either dead or in serious "decay",eg. George Harrison,Robert Plant etc. Now of course I don't know what genre of music you prefer but in my opinion good music reached its zenith in the '70s and since then it has slowly but surely lost a lot of quality. My primary solution to this is really to just listen to the good old stuff,with as many variations as possible-and if you're lucky occasionally you'll find some awesome song by a contemporary artist(!)Is Music, as a genre, dying?
Now, when I say dying, I'm talking about the quality of music, really. With a saturation of mainstream* artists resorting to using autotune and phasing out of actual instruments, I feel music, as a genre and the quality of it, is dying.
Perhaps this is just the ramblings of a musically-inclined teen, but when I see the music that is produced today, what I don't see is the Beatles, the Jimi Hendrixes, the Elvises, etc.
What do you think, NS? Is the quality of music slacking as of late

If you told me what music you're into I could perhaps recommend something to "keep you going"..
(Btw,I'm also a girl ..)

No, I'm one of those people who hates rap and all those stupid celebrities. Instead I prefer interesting stuff like an instrumental or Pat Benetar. Not the low-quality music today's popular "musicians" produce.

Almost all the singles I have bought recently come with an instrumental version of each song (standard to have the main song + another song or 2 then an instrumental version of each).

Why do you profess to hate an entire, sprawling, nuanced genre?
