Last night the Grammy Awards were on. I stopped watching award shows about 30 years ago for a variety of reason.
I saw some headlines this morning about the winners.
The Song of the Year is Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us"
This song is a piece of shit and how this garbage would be considered Song of the Year tells me that the music industry is another woke crap infested dump.
I'm 55 and think most new music blows, but Im not gonna go on a rant about it. I appreciate different opinions in this world, and ain't gonna get al tied up if something I don't like is popular.
I did notice that there are no longer bands.
The Best duo/group nominees were all solo artists who teamed up for a song collab.
I think marketing and executives are to blame.
I like some new music but mostly listen to retro stations. Music is a great mood lifter, I aint gonna turn on it. [Reply]

Rock bands aren't dead. They're just not a popular thing anymore. It's all about individual personalities. Like you said, the industry is focused on featuring top tier artists with other top tier artists, stacking personalities. It was said in another thread: pop music is generally very shallow. So shallow that it often doesn't even matter what music they make. As long as a song has the right singer, it will sell. [Reply]

It's funny, when I was a kid, "classic rock" was stuff from the 50s that was 20 years old. Now, classic rock is stuff from the 70s and 80s that's 40 to 50 years old. There's a reason for that.
It's not like there wasn't plenty of vile shit being pawned off as music back then, but the stuff that was good has stood the test of time. [Reply]

Classic rock is Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Janes Addiction now. [Reply]
