Well it seems most of the ideas have been put it so I guess I'll fill in mine.
Honestly, I'm probably a walking contradiction, so try to keep up.
I really think this whole thing is ridiculous. I started this because I was looking for something (forgot) that had to do with rock/song. And I ended up on a site where this guy, who apparently knows what he's talking about since he took a major or something in music, constantly bag on new rock/metal.
So instead of finding some way on the internet to personally flame him I wanted to hear other's thoughts on it first.
I myself think there is really no point to be making a big deal of these types of things. I mean I can say I think old rock/metal sucks, but I can't say old rock/metal sucks. mostly because it would be a lie. It's all opionated and other than that I find it a good thing that old rock/metal came before current songs, it means I've grown up knowing what I currently like and stuff.
Here's where I'm a contradiction. I say old sucks but I also say there's nothing better than the oldies.
Before I got on this topic and while typing this I went back to my old playlist of songs that I have literally RAPED one way or another.
Honestly I miss the times when I first discovered them when I would check my mp3 and see 'played this song 150+ times' or 'most played songs in a list of 1-10' playing old games in my old noobie playhouse
So basically I don't know why there are so many people bagging on new rock/metal I find it's more of new genre listeners being more passerby and nonchalant and oldies hating on what rock/metal has become. I mean I myself would be proud of the way it has evolved.
But yeah
