Of course there is. This is like saying grass is green.

The difference lies in saturation, old music has more songs with better lyrics, instrumental, and vocals than current music. They also had better composition and actually had substance.

The difference is you no longer here the old, bad songs because they've been filtered out by the listeners. You'll never listen to them on your own time, and the classic rock radio station is only gonna play the hits, so of course it appears that old music is better...you don't hear the bad stuff.
In 20 years the good music of this generation will make it through the filter of whatever future society wishes to hear, and everyone will think our generation had no bad music.

Songs are like people, except they get immortality if they are good enough.
You having only met the immortals because the rest are dead, does not imply that the undying were the majority.

My dad was born in 1959 and started collecting records when he was 11. He has not stopped and if he sees something he remembers he or his dad or a friend or joey down the blocks older cousins boyfriend liked, he buys it, good bad or otherwise. I have so many vinyl records from between the 40s and 80s i have several bookshelves dedicated to them. There is a definite higher amount of lower quality music produced and consumed today.

Of course you're not going to get a legendary guitar solo nearly as often as it's an instrument that has fallen to become more of a rhythm instrument in popular music, where it was once a leading, melodic feature.
Of course there is also the chance that you are correct.

Im not saying they dont exist im saying in general music today is worse than it was in the time of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Or maybe not that it is worse but that there is less music of quality being made.

pawnman (01/11/2016) [-] Actually i think there is plenty of good music being made. It just isn't at the top of the charts. What is at the top of the charts is the catchy pop tunes and the actually good music with substance is at the bottom.
Back then the good music was at the top and the other **** was on the bottom.
