Is Old Music Killing New Music?
Apparently, a lot of people are enjoying older music; even those of this generation. In the article Is Old Music Killing New Music? it states, “Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking. … The 200 most popular new tracks now regularly account for less than 5 percent of total streams.“
Is Old Music Killing New Music? Interesting article.

Works for me. What passes for music these days (hip hop, C&W, religious crap, etc.) Is just noise to my ears.

Agreed. The music today is like audio-poison It kills the beauty of true music - IMO.

These days I'm finding solace in Ben Webster, Oscar Petersen, Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Duke, a few others and then a lot of great classical music.
Every now and then I catch some of the "new" music on the radio or tv or some garbage emanating from the car next to me in traffic. Makes me want to

If it weren't for newer music I would dump this hobby in a minute. I don't need to listen to the same stuff from the 60's and 70's that I grew up with. Heard it enough.
It also BS that so much of that music is great. All of that early Beatles stuff is no less trite than any of today's stuff. And the world has spoken with their pocket books. Jazz in general is the worst. |

The problem with new stuff is not only the style of music, but the quality of the recordings.
More often than not, the records are compressed so much and thus their dynamic range is terrible, they are just too loud. For me, modern stuff doesn't really wow me. There are exceptions of course, which I have them in a "New Rock" folder to quickly identify them and that folder is not very large.

Sounds like 95% of the really great songs have already been composed and the new musical artists simply can't come up with a good melody to save their rear end, That's why new music sucks.

I listen to classic rock, country, blues, and smooth jazz. Tonight I am listening to Santana, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings. The new stuff just doesn't do it for me.
