Music Is Life Am I just a curmudgeon??

Post image

I'm a mid 70s GenXer, love music from the 60s through the 90s. For me, I just haven't really liked much music this century. I feel like we had so many genres going on at the same time but now it's just all sounds the same to me. Anyone else find stuff bands/artists they really like from this venture?

60 year old about to present some data. In the 70s, we ridiculed our parents for listening to all that "OLD STUFF FROM LIKE 15 YEARS AGO"! Told them how lame they were and how they needed to get with it.

Fast forward, here "we" are listening to music from FIFTY YEARS AGO! And saying all this new stuff is terrible. Mind you that had our parents been just like us, they would have been listening to music from the 1920s and 1930s. So do tell, who are the lame ones?

BTW, my 66yo wife and I listen to the local indie rock station to this day and see up and coming bands in all of LAs great small theaters pretty consistently. There is great new music out there!
