So, recently I've begun listening to my local modern rock station to try and figure everything out, and I've learned some interesting things.

A) the new hard rock still being made sounds completely identical to the shit from 2005.
B) there has been absolutely no innovation or evolution in the genre in nearly 20 years. Speaking entirely of radio rock.
C) strangely enough, it has fans, even the modern stuff. Rabid fans. Even the dj's seem to love it. Digging further online it seems like an entire subset of people still stuck in 2005 who think that kind of stuff is badass and don't want to change.

Nah, there's more good music out there now than ever before due to the rise of independent music, the many platforms for distribution, and the easier accessibility for finding music where you no longer need to know a guy, who knows a guy, who when to school with a guy, who's cousin plays in a band that's actually pretty good.

If you want to argue specifically Top 40 music has gotten shittier then that's arguable at least, but as a whole music is doing great.

Top 40 has become completely homogenized. There A videos about it, I forget what it's called but they all follow a similar concept. The something drop or something.

Isn't the whole point of music to make money? Now calm down, I know some of you guys will insist that there's some kind of magical passion or art involved, but I aint hearing any of that. Coming up with a sound that brings in fans and running with it isn't a crime. Even Elvis knew exactly what he was doing, ya know?

Oh I'm not arguing it worked or made money, but that doesn't measure quality of music.

Also, no. That's not the point of music if you're in it for the music. I see music as an outlet for emotion and as art and that's how I treat it.

If that's how you want to measure greatness and you like that sound then cool. I'm not gonna stop you. That's just not how I view it.

Music is subjective

I just figure that quality is subjective, especially when it comes to something like music. Back in Black made some serious bank.

There is no singular point for any form of art. People do different things for different reasons. Some people get into music to pick up chicks, some for money, some to get famous, some to share ideas, some as an outlet for creativity, some to share a message, etc. etc. etc. As well as a combination of any of those things.
As well as different people measure their success as an artist in different ways, and regardless of what their goals and measures of success are, it's possible for them to not achieve that and still make good music and vice versa. success =/= quality.

I agree with what you're saying. Some popular artists right now I consider to be absolute garbage. (Eminem, Lorde, Rihanna) But I get why people like them. I used to like Eminem, back before... relapse? I think it was. But I also think Taylor Swift makes some pretty dope music.

Meh, everything is subjective, I guess.

Yeah. Exactly

This however is a stupid opinion. I have a music station that playes Aerosmith from time to time and usually I dont recognize the artist because of the variation.

If you want a shit tier band that has a thousand of the same song, many country and modern pop artists work, or a band like Linkin Park.

I mean, rap is garbage tier. There are no instruments or vocals, just a guy talking garbage with a beat. It doesnt even fit into the definition of music. Though I do like Amish Paradise.

This is base level rap trolling

music/myoozik/
noun

1) vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
2) the written or printed signs representing vocal or instrumental sound.

Technically tribal drums are the same. Rap has always had that issue, arguing otherwise just means you have somehow been unaware of it until now. Of course tribal drums tend to sound good. 99% of the time rap doesn't.

How does rap not fall into that first definition

Sounds like you've listened to very little rap if you don't recognize harmony, melody, and emotion in the very least vocal performances.

Rap has no harmony or melody. It's a guy talking and a beat. You could make a case for specific rap songs, but that isnt the genre, the genre is someone talking and a beat. This goes back to the question of what music itself is, and whether or not rap is pioneering music, things like that. So far however I've heard no universal acceptance of rap as a genre as music. That's just how things are defined. Like I said, a good drumbeat falls into the same category. I had a book that goes into this in more detail at one point but not anymore. I'm sure I could find a source online somewhere.

Regardless of how its defined in the musical community though I view it as simplistic and lazy much like the majority of modern music. If you can't see why that is, I'd take your ability to critique music into question. Furthermore it mostly sounds bad, again like the majority of modern music.
