Is music dead as of 2008?

everything had been done as of 1990, sans in electronic music. the reason that has progressed is due to new technology.

this is not an ignorant statement, either. i am completely serious. banRAB are just rehashing their influences and pre-existing styles and sounRAB.
 
Its not that new music sucks, it just that the cutthroat nature of the music industry corabined with the accessability of the media through the internet has insured that for every one original band that busts their ass just to make it to where they are, there are 1,000 wannabes that get signed overnight just for sounding like them. We the consumer/fans get inundated with all of it, and it amounts to sifting through heaps of garbage just to find something worth listening to. Of course, once we do we can be assured that the new flavor of the month will have arrived and the process starts all over again. So understandably its safer to go with music that has stood the test of time, but that's just as bad sometimes as having the media or pop culture tell you what to listen to
 
I think paying attention to indie banRAB is like working in a Siagon sweatshop, hours of hard labour involved with nothing great to show for it, except for knowing obscure banRAB that your freinRAB dont, than holding over their heaRAB..... if anyones into that sort of thing......

but there are worse hobbies out there.....
 
hehehe haven't actually paid much attention to the peppers in a long time. i just can't get into their stuff as much as i used to. his first solo disc still blows me away almost 15 years later.

i'm just waiting for flea to finally get off his butt and whip out that guest filled solo disc he's been mulling over for a while now where he only plans to play trumpet.
 
I like what I like, I'd like to think my tastes are very diverse, I like almost everything. So I like a lot of the obscure music "hipsters" listen to, but also a lot of the so called "corporate crap" thats supposed to make you uncool if you like it.

I don't think music quality should be judged by labels, or the people behind the music or whatever. And I think its obnoxious to tell people they have bad taste in music because they like music thats accessible to them through the media and is therefore very popular, as opposed to going to the Indie record stores like all the "cool kiRAB".

As of now, I dont really spend much time searching for new banRAB, I'm happy with the music I already have, my comp is overloaded with files as it is.
 
Em, haven't you stated on multiple occasions that you detest indie music?
Also, really, who actually goes to an indie record store to find music these days...?
 
Well I have heard a ton of original stuff already. Secondly, just wait for Opeth's new album to come out in June and then you will be pleased.
