The Good Stuff Is Gone. Let’s Find Where It’s Went!

Let’s face it. Music isn’t what it used to be. Every generation has said this statement, but it’s most true in recent days. To quote Leela James,”Where’d the music go/ It’s all just for the dough”. Modern musicians ares becoming less like musicians and more like ridiculous images who only entertain for money and don’t put much, if any thought into their songs. Anyone who is any good or actually cares about their music is long gone, barely remembered or still undiscovered, spending their nights promoting their music and their days working at a pizza joint.

Unfortunately, this situation doesn’t hurt the musicians as much as it hurts the listeners, especially people my age. Most of them know that they’re hearing poor quality stuff, but very few are encouraged to go beyond what’s popular or available to hear on the radio. Being able to explore music can prove to be more important than it looks. Diverse musical taste can not only lead to individuality, but can also inspire the listener to explore the culture behind the music, and a history lesson can be derived from looking into an era a certain song is from.

I want to do my part to encourage this. I’m tired of listening to the equivalent of senseless racket. I want to show people that there is something better to be found. Skip the phenomena in favor of something that one will actually keep enjoying long after the popularity has faded.
