Todays music sucks, 80s music rules, who agrees?
All I heard about it how Nirvana came along and changed music forever. How they came on the scene and destroyed hair bands and metal. How Kurt Cobain was a legend and awesome. Well here is a news flash kids, Nirvana wasn't the first grunge band, they were just the first one to take off and hit it big, therefore meaning they didn't really change anything, they just did something other bands were starting to do.
People go on and on about the Seattle Grunge scene, well guess what, Nirvana was formed in 1987, in Aberdeen, Washington. 3 years earlier, Soundgarden was formed, in SEATTLE WASHINGTON. So yeah, already, Nirvana was 3 years late to the party.
Anyways, the real point of this is going back to what I first mentioned, how people constantly state how Nirvana killed hair bands and all that hooplah. Well to that I gotta say pick up your local paper and check out concerts headed your way. Or just look around online. You will see more hair bands and metal bands touring major venues while there are now grunge bands, anywhere, to be found. Grunge died. Hair bands live on. As does Metal. Grunge is the same thing as the bullshit we are dealing with today. Emo. And all these other shitty rock bands.
Music today is boring. No passion, no fun, nothing. Remember back when band members would get arrested and how awesome and fun it would be when they would talk about it and not just care? That was rock n roll. Today someone is arrested and they're all sorry about it and sad and depressed. Remember when bands would glue hotel furniture to ceilings and ride motorcycles down hallways? Yeah, no one does that today. Todays bands are boring. And useless. On top of that, their music sucks. I mean Axl Rose cancelled shows, stormed off stages, no showed concerts, all kinds of ****, but hey, that was rock n roll. Today no one does that. There is nothing exciting in music today. Just boredom and shitty bands that no one will remember in 5 years.
Then we got people like Kid Rock, and Lars Ulrich bitching and moaning about people stealing music. If we went back to the 60s, and Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison found out that people were stealing their music, they wouldn't give a ****. You know why? They are what is missing from music today. Artists who care about nothing but their music, and people hearing their music. That's it. Today it is all about fame and fortune. Musical talent comes last. Back then musicians only cared about their music being heard, and did it because they loved it. Today it's a group of guys put together because they seem like they would be good together and are products of record labels.
In the end, Nirvana didn't kill off bands, or kill off types of music, instead they killed the fun. Thanks for nothing Nirvana. Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam were all much better bands anyways.

i agree with u completely! todays music has no soul! eccpecially that rap sh*t! what the f*** is soulja boy! some new music is pretty good but its not as good as music from th 60s and 70s. ive always considered myself to have been born in the wrong generation. im like such a hippie. and im 13. im a huge fan of the beatles, jimi hendrix, queen, poison, and all music from the 50s-90s. i wish i could go back to the 60s or 80s or 40s or maybe even 20s. those times looked so much fun. and i dont see what the big deal is with hannah montana and the jonas bros. theyre so gay! and theyre more directed towards little kids yet everyone makes a big deal about them.

Just to let you know, I DID READ ALL OF THAT, and I have to agree with you!
As a Heavy Metal Fan, I too miss the old days, where the bands like Iron Maiden, SLAYER, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, TesTamenT, Annihilator, Metal Church, Corrosion of Conformity C.O.C., King Diamond, Rage against the Machine ruled the rock seen!
Like you have stated, the music seen has went to Fame and Fortune, THAT IS NOT WHAT MUSIC WAS FOUNDED ON,
IT WAS FOR THE MUSIC TO BE HEARD, TO HEAR IT, TO FEEL IT, AND TO LET YOUR BODY MOVE TO IT!!!
GREAT QUESTION I MIGHT ADD!!!

**** all music since Nirvana and G&R destroyed the face of music with their shitball grunge rock. All music ever since is talentless, shithole noise with no feeling or emotion. 70s and 80s metal/rock/retro ruled, and nothing has come close to it. I despise all so called music (you can t even call it music) since around 1990-95.

it does not suck totally..it depends on your perception how you see music as it is..but for now...its the time of the new generation to wave their flags and show their talents and attitude by their music..I wont lie..im a fan of oldies and 80's music too...but its not the end of everything..a lot of people in music industry is also influenced by the 80's music to their songs..its really up to the listeners how you listen to the music of the new generation...and I RESPECT to all the 80's band and those who passed away..

i like the 80s, but i like the 70s more, i was there when there was motown, some great music, then disco hit the scene and then things did change, was a great era to be in,
todays music is crap,
- Raging TrannyLv 71 decade ago
I dont think so. There's more music now than ever before, and much more of it is not heard by the mainstream. The eighties restricted people heavily to chart music and what they heard on radio.
