      “Almost all my favorite music was made before I was born.”

      I was a young person hating new music. RIF.

        Sure, fair enough, but it’s just another variation on everyone else is wrong. The video is actually bitching about metrics. Music is easier to find than ever and the artists were never paid except at the top. You are always going to have folks chasing mass market appeal.

          There’s no such thing as ‘everyone else is wrong’ when it comes to taste in art. I was just providing my viewpoint that was in agreement with Rick’s. I don’t think he even discussed compensation to artists in this video, he’s just talking about how much people value music today vs in years past.

          There’s nothing wrong with enjoying mechanical music. I love some of it, in fact I’m currently on a big psytrance kick. But I agree with him that most of it coming out in the last 20 years is garbage. And it’s perfectly ok to disagree with that. I never said people suck if they like modern stuff. I just think it’s mostly shit. :)

          Edit: fact is, most of the music coming out at ANY time is garbage, and always has been - we only remember the good stuff from the past because everybody forgot about all the other trash
