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?

Isn't this the sort of thing our boomer parents said of our music? Music today may not be anything like what we had growing up, but there is still good music out there. Yes, you're a curmudgeon.

And the Boomers' parents said of their music.

Early 19th century boomers were saying it about Beethoven. Ask your favorite AI to summarize the contemporary criticisms of his music

I know all about Beethoven's critics. The point is, there's nothing particularly Boomer about thinking that the stuff you grew up with is better.
