I remember when I was a child that put old music on a pedestal like you're doing right now. The fact is that there's no difference between what was on the radio 40 years ago and what's on the radio today. If you put any effort into music listening as a hobby you'd come to that realization yourself.

LOL theres a huge difference. Are you insane? The entire genre of music has changed. We have maybe 1-2 good bands that come out a year, tops. The rest of the music is just some pop trash

"i don't hear any good music on the radio when my mum is driving me to middle school in the morning so that means music is bad now"

No, your opinion is based solely on ignorance therefore it doesn't matter.

Burden of proof doesn't work when taste is subjective, moron. The fact is that you aren't entitled to having an opinion on something you know nothing about.

I suppose you're right. Taste is subjective so there's no way of knowing whether or not a band is good. Awards like Best New Artist don't exist because "taste is subjective"..........

I'm fully entitled to my opinion I'm not sure why you feel you have any power to take that away from me. It's clear you are in fact the one who does not know what you are talking about. You don't seem to realize that elements of music are not subjective. For example, if someone has to use auto-tune because they can't hit any notes. Obviously in this case an artist who could hit those notes would be considered a better artist. There are other factors at work as well, the depth of their lyrics, whether or not they are talented with any musical instrument, whether or not there is any uniqueness to their music or voice, etc... Modern music contains a lot of things to "aid" an artist to appear to be much better than they actually are. If you were to climb the stairs out of your mothers basement and go see some live bands you might realize this. Turn on your radio (not too loud, you don't want to wake your mother up) listen to a classic rock station, then listen to a pop station, you'll notice a major difference in music that was created prior to the modern information age and music that was created after. Not to say that ALL modern music is bad, there are of course quite a few exceptions. Most notable issues with modern music (in my opinion) is the lack of instruments, weak shallow lyrics, poor lyrical structure, and of course digitally altered voices.

How about you don't turn on the radio at all? And some of the most influential artists used voice effects, My Bloody Valentine for example. The voice is an instrument and people are allowed to do whatever they want with it, I'm sure you don't cry when someone uses an effects pedal to give their guitar the sound they're looking for.
