PiKA, I think the point is that there’s nothing TRULY new about music today, and not that there isn’t any other music out there besides the 20 top songs that are played on the radio 24 hours a day.
The second half of the last century brought a lot of things to music that people had never really seen or heard before…
KISS, with their crazy makeup and outfits.. The Beatles, the first true boy band that girls went CRAZY for… Queen, which needs no explanation. There were songs that people loved that were more than 10 minutes long (and in some cases, much longer). There was the creation of rock ‘n roll, Motown, disco, rap, hip hop, R&B and grunge… and crazy guitar riffs that most people only wish they could play. Woodstock.. need I say more? (I could go on and on with this list...)
The point is, years and years later, people still LOVE the music of those 50 years or so. Hell, I love that music, and I’m not even old enough to have been able to truly live most of it.
It almost seems as though there's nothing new to create.
In 20 years, what “classics” will still be playing on the radio from this generation?
