If You’re Under 25, Your Music is Fucking Garbage
You show me a machine or a computer program that can match the stellar majesty of Lauritz Melchior singing “Nessun Dorma,” and I’ll acknowledge it as music. Until then, it’s fucking garbage.
If you’re under 25 years old — or an immature 30-plus — I’m about to set your ass straight.
So, listen up.
Your music is fucking garbage.
There, I said it.
Mindless crap. Eardrum-bursting, dagger-in-the-eyes, ass-bagging, blow your fucking brains out — unadulterated dog shit. That pretty much sums up the type of music that’s popular with today’s young people.
Listen, you stupid sons of bitches. I’m talking at you. I’m your elder. My opinion demands respect.
Your music hasn’t got life. It’s fucking dead. Your music is void of humanity. It’s as fake as a porn queen’s orgasm. There’s no soul. It’s tripe. It’s a carp in the sea of music. The stuff you listen to was created by fucking machines.
Today’s “artists” — there’s an oxymoron — don’t even need to know how to play musical instruments or sing. In other words, no fucking talent whatsoever is needed to succeed today in music. You heard me. No. Talent. Whatsoever.
And, I’m fucking sick of it because the current generation is taking the gold we gave you and dragging it into a sewer.
Listen up, you little pricks. I’m not stuck in some kind of classic rock time warp. Fact is, I expose myself to many different kinds of music. I give all music a chance. Even the techno-trash littering the modern music scene is something I’ve tried to digest, which I found to be like choking down a plate of raw oysters laced with salmonella.
It would be nice to enjoy fresh musical acts. I want to hear new songs. I like some young people, especially when they get my order right. But real music is written and performed by humans, not a fucking computer program linked up to a laser show.
Fact: The more fancy gadgets and distractions you need, the most your music just flat out sucks.
Music should convey some sense of humanity — who we are, and what we feel. I know that’s a hard concept to digest since your idea of a relationship is picking up a new Twitter follower. Where’s the love and romance in the mind-numbing rubbish that’s played at most nightclubs? Is there any conveyance pain and loss? Or pride and joy? How about playing a catchy tune that’s just fun to sing along with?
Is that too much to fucking ask?
I don’t expect to like everything that’s new. As an amateur observer of the human condition, I freely acknowledge that successive generations are obliged to a continuation of the species which sometimes entails pushing boundaries and violating the preferences of their elders. History shows the more radically different one generation is from one to the next, the greater degree of innovations are sparked from such permutations. Music is just one by-product of inevitable cultural and technological shifts, sometimes mislabeled as advances.
Yes, yes, yes! New music should piss off plenty of parents and leathery jokers like me. At least I’ll accept “cultural evolution” as being inevitable, and necessary.
If you don’t believe this, take a look at the past century. Nearly a hundred years ago, traditional musicians hated a new sound called jazz. Later, jazz loyalists despised rock n’ roll and even the early sound of Motown. After that, the rockers hated disco music. Then, just about everyone hated New Wave and the 1980’s. Next came rap music which irritated everyone over the age of 30. Now, it’s hip hop and something called dubstep, which is essentially music made by computers and sound-making software. This garbage makes rap sound like fucking Amadeus.
There’s a reason this “music” is used as a weapon on suspected terrorists, forcing them to wear earphones and being bombarded with such abuse for hours. I’m not making this up. This is the brain-frying shit they put on the headphones and strap to the ears of prisoners who are handcuffed behind their backs and sit naked in jail cells while they are forced to endure this madness. I’d rather blow my fucking brains out, and if I ever did managed to get out, I’d be running off to join the nearest terrorist cell in order to extract my revenge.
Have a listen this rubbish (CLICK BELOW) if you can stand it for more than a few seconds:
.
I know what you’re thinking. You want to go after my music. You want to blast away at me. Go ahead, fuckers. See if you can top what I like at the conclusion of this article. You’re drawing so fucking dead you should even be in my game.
So, what constitutes real music? Here’s a list of things I believe to be essential.
REAL MUSIC DEFINED BY NOLAN DALLA:
(1) Real music is created by humans, not by a machine or a computer.
(2) Real music has structure and consistency.
(3) Real music elicits real emotions — of love, loss, anger, fear, happiness, hope, inspiration, or anything related to the gambit of being human.
(4) Real music requires talent.
(5) Real music requires instruments and/or voices.
(6) Real music should be cross generational.
(7) Real music shouldn’t need gadgets or special effects to be enjoyed.
Here and now, I’ll leave you with a video clip of real music (CLICK BELOW). When one of those fucking machines creates a sound that can somehow match this magical majesty, then give me a call. Until then, don’t label what you listen to as “music.” It’s not music. It’s garbage.
Writer’s Note: I wrote this over-the-top satirical outrage back in 2013, not expecting it to become the third-highest rated post on my website, with more than 100,000 page views. Had I know that trolling could generate such high traffic, I probably would have utilized the tactic more often. That said, I’ve come to modify my position somewhat on modern music. There’s an astonishing array of excellent high-tech, computer-generated sound that’s as profoundly creative as anything ever written and recorded. I continue to express some bewilderment at what masquerades as “popular music” today. Much of it is garbage. However, I wish to amend my previous remarks and withdraw the blanket condemnation of anything enjoyed by listeners under the age of 25. Now, please continue to post the often hilariously hateful comments below. Regards.
How does it feel to be an old person? You are actually there you are listening to opera which literally is in a different language 90% of the time what the fuck are you doing you are literally a weeb you are an old ass weeb and I’m not defending this shit music today it is fucking absolute undeniable garbage. It physically makes me sick, but you are also undeniably old. Old as fuck I may add that music isn’t classic its fucking ancient it was classic to people who lived in the 60’s I mean honestly reflect it’s someone slowly screaming at different octaves for 7 minutes. I’m sorry it just is a FACT.
i agree. i think the main problem has to do with how music is produced, the over-production of it. a lot of these artists we hate and their song wouldn’t be as horrible if they were sung in one take, with meager recording and not overly produced. it would sound like a human doing something, not just a bunch of noise.
It’s strange how people are obsessed with auto-tune. There’s lot of music, like indian ragas where it has constant micro-tones, meaning it’s constantly shifting around the tones. Being off tone is okay!! I think it’s actually what gives it flavor and soul. Listen to “lake of fire” by the meat puppets. He actually is on tone most of the time contrary to what people think, but the wildness makes it perfect
Hey now i’m 17 and agree with this statement it’s so true i hate modern music
Your’e to quick to assume im 17 and dislike modern music you fat fuck
I suggest you research the definition of the word “music” before creating such a bullshit article. Also just a reminder, this is only your opinion. When you learn thing or two about music then maybe I will take you seriously. Also I’m 23 years old just for your information
Force fed agenda pushing and dividing garbage, thats all I hear in mainstream these days.
Pavarotti, Nessun Dorma,
Now I know what you are, sir, A Classical Music Poser.
You want to hear true genius, Listen to Bach’s Mass in B minor, or the Goldberg Variations. Mozart’s Piano Sonata K.331 or Beethoven’s Eroica (Symphony # 3).
Handel’s Violin Sonata in G minor Op.1/6 HWV 364a.
Every classical music poser has done Nessun Dorma in some shape or form.
The only thing I agree with you in this article is that Modern Music Sucks.
“Music should convey some sense of humanity — who we are, and what we feel.”
Your biological parents must be siblings if you think that modern music isn’t music, yet say something like that. Lmfao. Yes I agree with the fact that about 90% of shit coming out now is utter garbage, but some of the music I listen to you would definitely classify as trash, so I just had to point out at how laughably idiotic and contradictory you sound. Also, learn how to properly code a website so I don’t have to scroll down for an eternity and a half to get to the comments box.
hi im 12 years old and i agree our generations music is fucking awful
Fun fact! Most of these fuckfaces stuck in the past have no idea how eletronic music is made. Like most of these idiots think COMPUTERS DO NOT MAKE MUSIC BY THEMSELVES. I hear this so many times it’s fucking unbelievable. It take as much skill as playing piano or any other instrument. The difference is that you don’t need any instruments because you have virtual synthesizers that also got the exact same sound as real instruments. Just stop living in the fucking past.
Another fun fact ; 80’s and 90’s music were also made with a computer,just in a bigger studio with more shit 🙂
singing is not music you retard , my music does not have to sound like one of the greatest singer at all since they are two total different thing , that first quote made your entire article idiotic
This is odd, I like the same type of music as his. (Virtually no modern ‘music’.) Does that count as garabge. And yeah, singing is technically music. It’s called vocal music. The reason the article says modern music is garbage is because, the topic is so boring. Take Non piu Andrai for example: Figaro singing while teasing Cherubino. This is the joy of our music,any topic: Teasing,Life, Love,Comedy,Licking an butt, etc. And yes, Mozart wrote lyrics for another composer’s canon. The original was clean and let’s say Mozart had musical diarrhea,that was sublimely beautiful. The joys of our music, even bad stuff becomes elegantly beautiful. So don’t be salty as hell when your reply to me please.
First off, there are still plenty of guitar-bass-drum combos out there whose members are the “millenial” boogeymen you old farts always bitch are ruining things.
In fact, there’s a pretty big 90’s revival, an era you le wrong generation snowflakes hold up as being the pinnacle of Western civilization, happening in indie rock right now.
And want to hear something that will probably blow your fragile little, and I do mean little, minds? A lot of them are recording using analog equipment and techniques.
And if you want examples of samples being used to create new and unique music, I recommend giving Entroducing by DJ Shadow and Since I Left You by The Avalanches a listen.
Oh, and computers can’t create “majestic” music? Please give the music that Orbital and Future Sound of London create a listen before you hand wave away electronic music.
I would just like to say… your point is flawed.
Remember the time when people thought rock n’ roll was bad, then bands like Bon Jovi and Aerosmith started to become popular. Now songs like “Livin’ on a Prayer” are rock classics. Yet it was still considered “noise” back then.
EDM is that same case, people like you hate it. You prefer other music, whatever is your taste.
EDM is a example of what happened in the 70’s and 80’s, it is noise. But just because a bullshit fucktard decided that it wasn’t his taste, doesn’t mean it is garbage. When you die, EDM will be the new genre that young people have grown into. So go watch your fucking Luciano
Pavarotti while you can, because it’s fucking garbage.
How do you like it?
I agree but problem with music scene is “new waves” in my opinion.New styles of old genres like europop,future techno,trap and other.It doesnt have a original lines of sound what make genre a genre and make it mix and nothing and sounds more weird.Or today artists put nonsense sounds into it.It isnt something really new but experimental and crazy shit.I like the electro swing for example and thats can revive swing scene in my opinion but some styles really not revive original genre just make it crap.
Hmm, Jeff Buckley is great, and he made music in the mid 90’s. I honestly love that people take advantage of the new “gadgets” to make a name for themselves. Chord progression/melodies are limited on instruments, these “gadgets” on the other hand can turn even vocals into melodies, it’s pretty refreshing when done right.
t-t-t-triggereeeeddddd XD
Look brother! I being an 18 years old boy, I like listening to classics like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Elton John, John Lennon etc. I really don’t like listening to all that modern pop bullshits which makes my ears go bleed, these modern songs (majority of them) contains no visible talent at all, and the music industry is much more money minded now then before, and they knows it well that their targeted audiences will buy anything with a catchy beat, anything intelligent or lyrical won’t be much popular nowadays because people my age are so accustomed to modern bullshit music.
someone show this man autechre or just about the coldest sounding IDM possible. sounds inhuman, soulless and robotic. but yet requires enough talent and dedication to go nuts and create it. would be hilarious to see how pissed this guy would get
You’re full of shite you old fossil. Show me a fully velocity mapped composition using knowledge of soundwaves, frequency modulations and arrangement; compounded with extensive knowledge of EQ balance, created by you, and I’ll acknowledge your blinkered view you tripe merchant.
You fucking shitbag. Nolan has a point. Good music isn’t techno. Techno is just pop music. The good stuff is played with REAL instruments, not fucking FL studio. Get out of here lazy 10 year old.
Wyatt,
You are a fucking moron.
Under 25? lmao more like under 50. Enjoy your elderly circle jerk and superiority complex then.
What about Lindsey Sterling? Yes she plays the violin but she does so to dub-step, which I am assuming is what you are referring to as “machines”. Sorry but this is a little too general and it’s plain small-minded. What about Benny Benassi? What about Pretty Lights?
And I’d like to hear a response please once you actually listen to those specific 3 artists.
Crystallize – Lindsay Sterling
Hot Like Sauce – Pretty Lights
Cinema – Benny Benassi.

Thanks for the post, and the question. Naturally, there are exceptions and you cited a good one. My commentary generally applies and I will stand by it. I’m also pleasantly surprised to be wrong on occasion.

Also, my boyfriend who is 29 years old but was 18 years old when he started the band. He and his band are incredibly talented and you may enjoy their music, it’s bluegrass. http://treehousecharlatans.com/
Thanks for reading 🙂
Gramatik, Parov Stelar, Glass Animals, Caravan Palace, Griz. Educate yourself :).
ODESZA. Last post I promise. But they are amazing.
Also my two friends who are DJS: Jaminic (Gregory Nickerson) : https://www.jaminicmusic.com/
GRiZ is absolutely fantastic live!!!
I kind of disagree, I mean I don’t like most the modern music put out today (mainly the rap artists) but some of the computer software or synths can make interesting sounds that can sound otherworldly or sounds that cannot normally be generated by standard instruments. I think a very good example of combining classical instruments with digital software would be Björk paired with her extraordinary and unique voice.
The great artists are gone..and the new generations did not pick up the mantle. The music business is to blame too because they didn’t force the issue of crafting good music.They let the rains go and went for the lowest denominator.Whatever the idiot public would buy quick that’s what was put out!Nobody even plays an instrument anymore ( too hard ).. just a few repeated lines about killing, screwing and pull on your crotch and your a star!Things will never be the same as it was..so just listen to your own music you love and remember. This new music will never be remembered as the old classics because this crap never crossed over to adult contemporary and it never will.Crap always stays at the bottom of the toilet!!!
I’m one of those “Under 25 years old” people, and I couldn’t agree more. I cling onto the good old days of the 70s and 80s. Introduced by millennial movies and then my music addiction sprung off into its own thing. I still listen to the occasional broadway song, but for me it’s all about nostalgia.
Why do you people even care what music other people enjoy? It’s not like it matters. Why can’t you just let people make and/or listen to what they want, and then make and/or listen to what you want? It seems like a waste of energy to get upset about what “this generation” enjoys when it’s not doing anyone any harm.
Absolutely agree with you, I am 13 years old myself but am absolutely appalled by rap or the stupid tech b.s. Im just waiting for my generations queen
Shut your bitch ass up, I think most of these young musicians are good. The title of this article is SHIT! Yeah anyone that’s under 25 is automatically not good at music, shut the fuck up you angry twat.
Fuck AMP pages. All of them and yours toio.
Just because your age can rival dirt doesn’t mean your opinion should be respected any more than any other human beings you old shitbag. And you disrespect other peoples opinions so you are probably garbage
You do realize that ageism is supremely disrespectful, right? The pot is calling the kettle black.
Have you ever heard piano music remix with techno? It’s probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard. I enjoy techno, it makes my heart beat faster and it’s about the energy it gives me it makes me feel alive. I also adore piano pieces because the piano is the voice of the soul and people are beginning to combine them and its beautiful. Seriously, listen to River Flows In You remixed by Olivund. Its amazing <3
Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Extremely useful information specially the last part gfbeeabggegkkbge
So, because creating music is more accesible and easier to share it’s gotten worse? That’s your logic?
Oh okay. I guess all these legends you praise made their own instruments.
By the way, I’m 28.
I’m 45 and my view is if you like something then listen to it.There are no rules to music.I have all sorts in my collection some of you will love and some will hate with a passion but it’s my playlist so i don’t care.People are too concerned with what other people think now due to Facebook and all that crap. Just put your headphones on ,press play and enjoy whatever the hell you want to.
Obviously this person does not understand the concept of opinions. I undertsand what your trying to say, music is evolving, like everything does, and you dont like it, some people do but you do not. There,I said it. Dummy
ily <333
So right, except for some of us. I am under 25 but I like the old music, (e.g. Glenn Miller: The Army Air Corps)
Music speaks to people man. Jut because it doesn’t speak to you doesn’t mean it’s bad. Besides, if you want to see random machine sounds and shit mixed with good lyrics in a perfect artistic balance listen to Jon bellion. Listen to what you want but don’t hate, and don’t generalize people’s music when there’s no way you could have heard all, or even a fraction of it
You’re moron there’s plenty of good shit, you just have to sift through the bullshit to find it
You have a point to some of the music out there but you can’t demand respect with your vulgar vocabulary. You are completely one sided and in the end, disrespectful of other people. You cant ask for respect then insult them.
The amount of boomers asserting that their woefully half-baked (and that’s putting it favorably) opinions on music are indeed fact is simply hilarious. These mouth-breathers will tell you that electronic music has no complexity or talent involved and that rap music is trash because it is only about sex and drugs, and then proceed to blast their favorite dadrock song which consists of a 12 bar blues riff played in 4/4 with lyrics about snorting cocaine out of a stripper’s anus, and insist “Now THIS is REAL MUSIC(TM)!”. The truth is, these guys have unrefined tastes in music and art, and have ALWAYS had unrefined tastes in music and art. Please continue to be miserable and make total asses of yourselves; it makes for endless entertainment for those of us who possess a working brain.
this. THIS. i love u. thanks for standing up to this dumbass article and these boomer juice crust ass babies in the comments 🙂
although this is only a blog, this blog is very high quality and I want to always read every new information that is provided, especially new information
Do not retract your statement or amend it. Modern music is fucking garbage. I am 39 for the record. Everything you said was true and no one under 25 would know what the criteria are to qualify as music as they fill their heads with computer generated crap and auto tuned “artists”. I honestly don’t know what gets people record contracts anymore because it is not talent or musical ability.
aight adam anal, lets get one thing straight. generalizing all modern music makes you look like an ignorant ass cuck. moreover, this article, if you can even call it that, is so incredibly unprofessional and provides literally no reasons as to why they find modern music so “garbage”. if you want to generalize music like that, ask yourself why you feel the need to spew unprovoked hatred? ive legit never seen someone who enjoys the likes of lil pump, ski mask, or xxxtentacion go after old music ?? ?? so why do people who enjoy old music feel the need to attack people who like modern music?
I have stayed mostly out of this due to the ridiculous nature of the posts, but I can’t take it anymore:
Every era of music has great stuff and garbage. If it moves you, its great; if it doesn’t, its crap. Simple.
And I am sure Mozart and Beethoven would find Led Zeppelin low brow nonsense for morons.
Popular music isn’t high art. Please get over yourselves. Just because Yes made Tales from Topographic Oceans doesn’t mean they should have, and Radiohead isn’t Miles Davis.
Popular music, today, is largely pretentious and contrived. The production methods alone have become so robotic and uniform that they have negatively affected the artform as a whole.
But, opera music is snooty and boring.
hmmmm well what if I called you a faggot? Or that because you like such old classical trash you are instantly a piece of trash, I’m a musician myself and love all forms of music. However; it is the ideology of a decrepit elder such as yourself in which I despise. Therefore, take whatever piece from whatever composer you hold most dear and shove it up that wrinkly ass for making such an invalid and refutable argument. I expected better of the generation before me, clearly I was wrong. You’re more selfish than the government official who would hang the neck of the innocence
First of all it’s wrong to assume that because i’m a certain age doesn’t mean i listen to my generations music. I’m only 17 but just because i’m young doesn’t mean i listen to new music. i acutually listen to older music. and then people like you say stuff like “ how do you even know about that “ and “ that was before your time” I can listen to older music thanks to the technology we have now. Some people don’t believe I like the music that i like because of my age. I personally feel that you shouldn’t do something because “ people your age do that”. If anything that statement makes me want to go against the grain.
Simpleton. You are falling prey to the exact same mentality of previous generations. You spew the same idiotic rhetoric. You know the past (who doesn’t) and yet you repeat it. You are a little mind. Learn from your foolishness and perhaps I’ll respect you.
Shut the fuck up old dumbasses lol mad about the new songs much? Lmao chill the fuck out dumbasses
get off your high horse, pretentious asshole! let people enjoy things, okay?
Okey. i am gonna shred the spirit of all schizoid societies a ross the entire planet along with the normies…. done with their crap. Play online, paly on your filthy dirty gadgets and stay in your dungeon… 2 faced inbred schizoid losers who love strangers that hang their cocks out across country looking all over at them online and licking their moniters or screens. Stay there. If you’re going to be square you go nowhere. Bye felicias. This was perfect for me to vent. This little secret secret asshat society, closet schizos, covertly operating poop in their hands has gotta stop now. Pick up a bible.
ALL I SEE IN COMMENT MANY PSYCHOPATH AND TROLLS, FUCKED UP PEOPLES, I’M 30 AND I RESPECT OTHER TASTE EVEN IF I DON’T LIKE THEM, CALLING CRAP OTHER MAKE YOU CLOSEMINDED, PATHETIC, MOST STUPID HUMAN EVER LIVING IN A CAVE. OPEN YOUR MIND, AND STOP FEELING SUPERIOR OF OTHER CAUSE YOU LISTEN TO OLD MUSIC, I TOO LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC AND DON’T ATTACK OTHER FOR THEIR MUSIC.
Hmm, funny how few fucks I give. Suck it up old man, only going to get worse from here.
Can you read this out loud and post it so I can sample it on a mindless computer generated track and layer soulless drums on it?
NOLAN REPLIES:
Most clever suggestion of dissent, so far. Well done.

There has always been bad music. Unfortunately today it is more prevalent. It started around 2014 and by 2017 the industry was in free fall.
I listen to everything and try to find appreciation in all music, from opra to rap. I do feel and will never sell out on the fact, not opinion, computer generated tracks are void of talent. Heartless, emotionless and soulless. Doesn’t make it all unlistenable, some of it is catchy but it still doesn’t change the reality that music is dying.
I don’t see kids laboring over a piano or wearing callouses in to their fingers on guitars. Now it’s all unintelligible, beeba dabba, booty booty, be like shit, nonsense.
You may disagree but let me offer this warning. Music is the most influential art on the planet. Even if it’s pure shit it reflects where we are as a society. If you think we are in a good place then by all means, defend this horrific show. If not, well..what you are listening to is how we got here.
What kind of a cunt face is this? Seems like a classic case of an old fart with no talent being jealous of younger people who work their asses off to succeed.
Go fuck yourself.
sucks to be a fucking homo doesn’t nolan you gay little retarded whore.
Bitch nigga, are you fucking insane? Rap is real. You just don’t get it. Rap is like…who the fuck do you think you are? You God now ain’t ya? Thinking just ’cause you said is rap is all shit that is all shit, well it’s people like you that make this world shit. Come up with conclusions that aren’t even the slightest bit of openminded
If I’m not wrong, it seems like you hate this generations music, am I correct?
Snarky Puppy? There are new musicians that are considered the best of the best Cory henry for example?
Old & Young people are into Snarky Puppy
I was gonna share my opinion but then i read writers note so nvm ig lol
I… I have no words on the complete and utter shit show that is this comment section. Never have I seen such a pure anger, hatred, and rage, concentrated in one place like this.
Like, y’all need to calm the hell down. This post infuriates me too, but… yikes.
Nolan, no need for the disclaimer at the end. The state of things in contemporary music has only got even worse since 2013.
I agree 100%. Hearing today’s music feels like actual torture. I can’t even remain in a restaurant or store if they’re playing crap music.
all these jackasses ignorant and too stupid to realize pop music is just one category of music……if you’re too stupid to find new quality music of any genre that means you’re just an idiot. REAL MUSIC LOVERS Don’t LIMIT THEMSELVES BASED ON ANTIQUATED HATEFUL STEREOTYPES.
I play the guitar as a singer songwriter, play mandolin in a jamgrass blue grass band and use to be the bass in a funk band. I’m a PUBLISHED POET WHO ALSO CREATES TRACKS With a MYRIAD OF SOFTWARE Even SAMPLING MILES DAVIS LOOPS For the HOOKS.
YA IM Some Kind of HOOD RAT. Your Post And anyone who agrees wth you possess the intellect of a child
You can’t say that the music we all listen too is crap, I’m 15 and I listen to I wide variety of music, and for the most part it consists of songs with tons of emotion.
i fucking hate hip hop music.
I actually agree with a lot of your statements Nolan. As a 20 year old male I’m probably in the minority of my peers when I say music nowadays is absolute crap. While not every rap/ hip hop song is meaningless rambling about materialistic things acquired by a higher pay grade, a lot of it is. I struggle to find good music because in the Bay it is what a majority of young people enjoy… I for one can only hear about pussy, money and designer so many times before I start to really question this generation and it’s values. Furthermore, I don’t care who you are. No one wants to hear their significant other reciting “I stole that fool bitch then blew her back out” over a Jason Mraz song or something of that nature.
i feel like youre a wannabe maddox.
but i agree, anyone that’s ever used an amplifier isn’t a real musician. if you can’t make that sound without electronics and circuit boards, then you’re a talentless hack relying on technology to make music.
and that peter frampton song ‘do you feel like we do’, he can’t even make his guitar talk without a talkbox.
Alright I know I’m VERY late to this conversation.
But I have something I would like to say.
Making electronic music is not that simple.
Yeah, even I agree that the simple shit beats that are premade or have little to no effort are not something that should be considered ‘music’. But, there are plenty of artists who actually put the time and effort into it. It may not be to *your* tastes, but it is music. And to some it’s even good music. (myself included)
My point being, it’s not all cheap shit.
I myself have even made some electronic music. It was god awful seeing as I’m not an artist, but I still put in the effort, and it was still music.
Music may be subjective, and to some even whole genres are shit (how you can decide that by listening to about 1% of the selection, I will never know) but new music is made every DAY even. How about you listen to some of it and actually acknowledge the effort.
Alright I’m done ranting.
This was rather funny. I LOVE all music, I even love the trash you speak of. He were probably listening to the cookie-cutter fucking actual dog shit electronic music. If you actually dive deep and listen and actually listen some of the computer music is actually pretty fucking good and it does have some like emotion to it not all of it does but man I’ve heard some really good fucking electronic music that has brought me to tears or has made me happy. I’m just offering my opinion also… Opinions are just that, opinions. There is no fact or truth to opinions. opinions were meant to be heard and then a ripped apart and ridiculed and then sometimes respected and sometimes reinvented. Opinions are not for the faint of heart cuz people are people and a lot of the time we don’t like other people’s opinions so if you have an opinion anybody he’s ready to get told you stupid cuz you know we all are stupid we all have opinions. Happy Monday.
Ok boomer
Your age has no bearing on the importance of your opinion. This post just shows me how little you actually understand about music. It’s all subjective and the fact you don’t realize that shows how small minded you actually are.
Ok boomer
This post is obviously written by someone who’s never actually created music themselves. You’re ignorant to the amount of effort and knowledge it takes to produce music on a computer. I don’t see you complaining about the switch from solely acoustic music. To electric guitars with pedals and effects. That is the equivalent of the changes we’re experiencing now. And music would never evolve if we repeated what one boomer likes to hear over and over. Accept that it’s just something that you don’t like. Not that it in itself is trash. Cause damn I listened to “Nessun Dorma” and it made me wanna shoot myself. But I recognized that they are truly talented musicians in the genre they like to create.
Nolan Dalla –
You aren’t the officiator of what is good music and what isn’t. I don’t care much for Gen Z music either but I don’t condemn it and insult people that like it. Tastes change. Styles change. Manufacturing jobs get automated or go offshore. Deal with it and stop your childish ranting. You are an embarrassment to seniors.
Luckily, electronic music isn’t created by machines. It’s created by humans. Good electronic music is created by talented humans with a thorough understanding of music theory, which is something that takes time to learn. This guy obviously doesn’t know anything about music theory, because he thinks that electronic music is “created by a machine.” By this logic, you could just as easily say that classical sheet music is “created by paper.”
You’re actually retarded. If you think that your music taste makes you better than anyone else you don’t even deserve to listen to music. I’ve never seen anything this retarded in my life. You’re actually stupid, and that’s not just an insult, you are factually below average iq. Like, imagine having so little going for you that the Only thing you can imagine to be insulting is people’s taste in music. I’ve listened from anything from Johny cash to lil peep, or Bach to metalocalypse. If you think that listening to a certain type of music makes you better or worse you’re a sad fuckin human being. Why are you even alive tbh, you have nothing to add to this world of ours. I’ve never seen anything this pathetic in my life. You’re a joke of a human
Only a stupid son of a bitch whose wife’s also one could write this and mean it and not ask for forgiveness as it should be, but since you also wrote you amend everything personally you said about people mentioned in the text…
typical close minded boomer.
I stopped reading. You are an arrogant cunt. I will actively avoid you and your shitty music.
It’s so sad that the generation that was born out of the hippy movement, the sexual revolution, and the invention of a plethora of new musical genres has closed its mind in such a smarmy way.
It’s even sadder that the people you are complaining about are the ones leading the new age revolutions and you all sit there putrid in your own farts and misery of age just criticizing. Demanding respect of your opinion just because your elders did it, doesn’t mean you get to have it. Respect is earned. And you lost all of it.
As for todays music, only the tried and true test of time can only determine what is or is not actually good music. This test is playing itself out now as i type. If in 20 years time there will be release of “bhad bhabie, dah gr8est hits ‘n shcidt u dun neva gone here of, hnuggha…str8 up. done fukk wid dat”(i have to stop at some point but it really is retarded, come on niggers, yes, this is why you are niggers) then i will shut the fuck up. Until then we all must wait for these greatest hit albums that will never be. Of course the individual person can make their own greatest cuts mix tape, if thats the case when and where these people start demanding the vaults of this crap be opened then i will shut up AND go fuck myself. buh-by u bhad bahbie beeattch…str8 up hnuggha cash me outsi den sheet gone git reel fuuk soon on sheet dam hnuggha….. LMFAO dumb kids wanting to be dumb ghetto niggers…oh yea im a black dude btw.
You are kind of mean. No one is going to want to work with you, what kind of motivation is that to share with someone you love?
The DPRK makesthe best music!!
Le wrong generation.
This rant was written by a real person, eh . . . really? Haha! just kidding. It was fun to read but managed to remind me of a real person I met in the bar the other day. Cheers.
Music takes talent and most of the Music today there is no talent to make it happen. Mosty of and I did not say all of the music coming out in some Genere’s do not have any talent involved. I agree with Nolan for the most part but if you look closely enough there is still some good music out there.
okay boomer

No shit people notice when your the only free music person ghost songwriter in the world of all music fuck Yo U all.
Im a 16 year old school kid who listens to the like of pink floyd, metallica,dire straights, pearl jam, sound garden, radiohead etc. I fucking hate new ear busting crap made these days
This article is 6 years old for now, and now I can say that music got way worse since 2013. Nowadays we even have an utter atrocity such as “mumble rap”, which would never be accepted 6 years ago.
The baseless whining here is chuckle-worthy and even precious.
Yes. Rap is garbage performed by human pieces of dung, but so is that Pavarotti trash.
Forget about music for a second – if you are under 25 EVERYTHING about you is shit. Ask any member of your government for verification.

Stumbled upon this. Not sure who you are but Luciano.. yup. Also, check out Valentina Lisitsa – Moonlight Sonata, also very moving.
I constantly scour every genre of music snd do fond a lot of new entertaining stuff and talent I suppose. It does strike me as odd that all the main stream “musicians” also look like magazine models. But next is where I find out who I can really relate with, one band, one guy really. Danny Alexander Boone from Rehab. Every single song in all their imperfectness. And I like Pavarotti. But until I meet sombody who can appreciate both I feel I will be alone forever.

Weak. Please tell me that wasn’t your best shot.
Pull your head out of your smartphone’s ass and try to come up with something more original, technoturd.

I don’t even listen to modern music anymore because it’s so shitty. Also, why the fuck are 99 percent of songs these days about having sex?
