Is Old Music Killing New Music?

No disrespect to you, but IMO this is an insane take on things.
Kids don't give a fuck about politics in a way that affects their taste in music.
Not to mention all these kid/teenager sounding voices. Where are the adult sounding singers at? Sick of listening to kids trying to sing!! Lots of great singers out there that get zero free radio play! Keke Wyatt. Ledesi. Maysa. Layla Hathaway, etc, etc.
Lastly, why is every gott damn R&B song a fucking slow jam?!?! Where the party, dance joints at? You got cats like Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake bringing it! Brothers don't like dancing no more? WTF?!
Amen Brother
I was looking around at all the vinyl I have and was actually thinking "why am I holding on to all of these?" I was gifted the collection and it's a mix of funk, gospel, a little rock, lots of sour and r&b. I added on with some hiphop but not enough to rock a party. I have a harddrive full of music too so I can play whatever. They say vinyl is popular again. I just bought a record a month ago but still wonder why I'm holding on to these old formats.
I have players for all the media so that's not an issue. It's the space it all takes up.

All rap sounds like this to me now, but at least this retarded shit slaps

I just don't see the average 15 year old actually wanting to listen to Cardi B and Kodak Black when they are 30. Most popular musical is throw away hype meant to capture advertising clicks in 10 secomd blocks.
Every generation chooses what it wants to enjoy. Just what it is.

I'm a super underground independent hiphop guy
th1rt3en (pharoahe monch/daru jones) - A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism
Lupe Fiasco- Drogas Wave
Tribe - We Got it From Here
Isaiah Rashad - The House is Burning (not for everyone but I love that joint)
THIS. ALL OF THIS
Stephanie Mills said it best, they want our music they just don't want it from us
And this generation, the generation of people younger than 40, they aren't real musicians. They don't have as deep and wide a knowledge of musical instruments like guitar and piano and saxophone and on and on.
BUT, White people killed both RnB AND good rap music. Rap music today is a collection of pew pew sounds and garbage like a bootleg bootleg Timbaland
When I listen to shit like the insecure music soundtrack, it shows me that good music still exists, but I don't know where to find that shit
As far as old music killing new music, if an old artist comes out with new music even though it's themed after their older music, people want to hear there old songs
So with the Isley Brothers or Lionel Richie comes out with a new CD, people want to hear their old songs and not anything new that they create. It's actually pretty sad.
They're killing creativity a little at a time

I listen to old shit about 95% of the time and it's been this way for about 15 years.
Same. One day I put on Love Come Down by Evelyn Champange King
The music production from 70s to late 80s till this day is my favorite.Past two years I got heavy into Bossa Nova Jazz, Samba, Bamba, and Dembow. I rarely listened to really any music from America.

TL DR new music sucks /thread.
Silk sonic is a breath of fresh air
U fuck wit Russ??
I have gotten into several arguments over the years, and even been thrown out of a relative's house
for saying essentially this.
I could not agree more. Old music is BETTER. The musicians had TALENT.
Now, it's all about a pretty face, round ass, or bad attitude, sometimes all of the above.
Fam i say this shit all the times my guy's, if there was a balance there would be no problem.
Nice Song
Really good read. The Atlantic is one of my go to publications. Think everybody knows across the board that mainstream music as a whole is done. Just part of that artistic decay and stagnation we've been in for several years now. It'll come back around. It might take a little bit tho.
Notice how every one of those songs sounded distinctly different from the others. From voice to music, there was something different.
Play five songs from today. Same 808 kick, snare, hi hat, vocal style, autotune, cadence and overall mix.
Let's keep it real here. There's nothing new about this. A lot of late 80s/early 90s music began to sound alike as well.
The difference then being....there was a global musical fad that had JUST taken over: New Jack Swing.
Of course everyone jumped on that bandwagon. Thus songs sounding similar.
What we're seeing now is just sad repetition without change for nearly ten years.
Sampling: taking the words, music, and/or effects from a song or songs crafted by gifted,
long revered musical artist in bits and pieces, stringing them together with a rhyme or three,
and calling oneself an "artist" because of it.
a.k.a. taking somebody else's shit and calling it your own.
