Is this the worst time for music ever ?
i say yes
Pop stars are here today and gone in around a week. Infact pop doesn't even exist anymore it's either songs that resemble Happy Hardcore dance music left over from 1992 (with a page 3 girl on vocal duties) or soppy by numbers ballads. Indie pop stars sound more like Duran Duran than anything with even the slightest bit of emotion or anger (Franz Ferdinan, The Strokes and the rest of the fashion rock parade). Rock music has no balls. Hardcore punk doesn't even exist outwith the relms of online journals and bedwetting emo and pop punk is afraid of itself and now has no pop or punk. Hip Hop has more bling and less socialy aware lyrics than ever and the bulk of the Underground scene is simply copying the shit above but without the financial backing.
there are a few exceptions, you know who you are and so do i so don't get angry but its a sad state when the only thing i have even been remotley excited about this year is that Morrissey is releasing a new album, a man who has been making music for as long as i have been alive. Oh and the Dangerfields Hellride e.p. that was pretty good aswell.
