I have said this before and I will say it again, today is the best time for making innovative music, technology is developing with tremendous speed and you can do with sound everything you wish for basically not so big investment. Some people just can get past the 80's and keep whining about todays music and the past days and blah blah...In fact I would have liked the 90s to have continued for another 30 years, I am a big fan of Seatle and the alternative scene, but you know, life is changing, and you have to be able to evolve, kind of. Just by saying that everything around is crap you confirm that you have not made any effort to find anything that is worth sticking to. And I am convinced there are plenty.
I am more and more convinced that people who think in this way have the problem with themselves, not with music. You have to be more positive. For example I have favorites from every decade. Of course there are many things that I detest but the whole point is that you have to be more open minded.
I am not ranting or bashing against any particular persons. Individual taste is always respected. I am rather putting a comment for this general attitude I see in some people on this board and in some of my friends actually.
