When I hear someone state that the music industry is in the toilet, and that everything coming out these days is crap, I take exception to it.
I will digress that these days there IS a lot of crap out there. *Looks at Justin Bieber.* *Looks at Rebecca Black.* *Looks at any so-called singer who uses Autotune.*
But while I won't argue that point, I will argue the fact that despite there being a whole lot of crap out there, there is also a whole lot of very good, high quality music being released. Just because there's a crap song with 30 million views on YouTube doesn't mean it's the whole representation of today's music. You'd be an idiot if you thought that.
On the contrary, there's more diversity when it comes to music these days than ever before. There's probably a genre for ANYONE, and all you need to do is find what you like. It isn't too hard.
So while I do enjoy listening to my favorite stuff from my teenage years, my childhood, and even from before I was born, I'm equally enjoying brand new music that's coming out every week. I'm consistently surprised and thrilled when I hear a brand new song and it becomes my latest favorite -- something that too many people seem convinced will never happen for them again.
It would only take a small amount of effort for them to discover that that is probably not the case.
