Why is Modern Music so Awful-

Love all the early Aerosmith, Night in the Ruts was the last one I bought though. Haven't heard much of anything else, aside from occasional radio cuts from the newer (Pump and beyond), more commercial material. I'll give them credit for pulling their asses out of the fire, but they lose marks for starting that fire. Have you listened to Joe and Alice's new band? Hollywood Vampires.

If ever I should venture to create anything musical, rap and a beat would be my pick, not for the lack of interest, but I am no singer, plus, I though I may desire such, I cannot split into two to divy my time between engineering and creating songs. Perhaps, just perhaps, that would make me a .....MOR... Ugh, the words refuse to leave my lips, even if I gest. LOL.

It's thgat Trinote thing that kills music by degrading it to the basic Nursery Rhyme thing, and as weknow These all sound the same as well? With attention spans of the youth so used to getting a quick fix then make everything the same and they get a short buzz and go buy the crap. result lot's of Money for the Corporates. i think the last of what we would recognise as musi=c stopped about 15/20 yewars ago, although there are still amazing musicians out there they don't get a chance to thrive in the lame stream anyways?

BLUES. BLUES is 'where it's at—the BLUES is time-agnostic, thus, something you may consider. (I have been writing rap for the past 72-hours, and it appears everything I write simply becomes another junction, for me to go on another tangent. Odd, since I am not a musician or 'rapper', engineering and design...my forte. (Okay. I'll stop with the 'cornbread').

@anonmachina: This is the direction I've been heading, musically, exploring the worlds of Blues & Jazz (other than Fusion), as well as revisiting older bands that got left by the wayside, while I pursued others.

You're pretty bang on there. The music 'industry' has become The Industry with a bit of music in it. The melding and cross genre stuff, which can sometimes really work, usually doesn't, except for a certain group of music fans. I find that most Pop fans seem more concerned that they're listening to 'the right' pop songs, otherwise their 'coolness' evaporates. There are still some new bands that play old school substance and style, but you have to wade through hours of crap to find it. Female spending power has run music through a torture chamber of horrors, as the greedy ones are constantly trying to appease the unappeasable. Music started reflecting the listener: stupid and slutty. Science in the hands of greedy turds, has destroyed what was left. Something I refer to as: When Science Attacks... The science was pushed, albeit unknowingly, by female spending. It probably would've happened eventually though. The Science: human brain chemicals respond to frequency (All brains, really, but the humans have money, so we'll focus on them), music is frequency, brain chemicals react to the ones that you like (radio goes up) or don't like (radio goes off). They figured out which frequencies, in which patterns, make the radios go up. Now they only make that music, creativity is tossed aside. Big labels throw some tits in a flash video, the money begs you to take it home. Little independent labels still do things the old fashioned way and seem to be interested in preserving talent, but we'll see. People really like money.

One of the biggest killers even of classic songs and music is this messing with the sound level's, that is what kill's the song, the leveling of the audio kills the emotion or feel of the song?

@Drums McBashington: Dude. I do not know if you are awate, but, beginning with, 'The mudic 'indusyry'..., your comment is the beginning of an enticing critique in the for of hip hop (just removing an end of sentence word or two). Brilliant writing. You should study it further.

@Drums McBashington: (an edit; apply a beat in the likes of Wu-Tang, and you are golden)..

@Drums McBashington: (see above [posting your prose in a sub-comment would have desyroyed all of the sentence spacing/structure)

@mrghoster: Hmm...interesting......I can see your words can also be composed to a hip hop/rap. I am definitely on that 'wave'.

@mrghoster: I tecall a documentary from years ago—how the 'competition' for producing the loudest songs was killing the dynamics throughout the spectrum (via increased compression). The damage they caused in the industry—and the respective recordings—was appalling. (I worked as an acoustic engineer for some time in my youth).

@mrghoster: Please pardon my typos. I am excellent typist...on an actual keyboard. I abhor typing on phones. But, so it goes.

@Drums McBashington: Please pardon my typos.

@anonmachina: Thanks. I've dabbled in lyrics from time to time. Just for shits and giggles though, never been in a band that was serious enough to write original material, and my life hasn't been stable enough to seek one out.
