Because there's hardly any good music being made by anyone except for Taylor Swift.

Of all the music nowadays to compliment, you go with Taylor Swift?

Yes. She's the only mainstream act worth anything.

I disagree, but that's all subjective. Also really depends on what you consider mainstream.

Do you like Taking Back Sunday or New Found Glory or Rites of Spring or Mineral or Sunny Day Real Estate?

I like the Rite of Spring, yes.

So I just realized that basically the only generations that like good music AT ALL are Millennials and the younger Generation Xers. That's basically it. Ugh.

we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
so I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive

His comments on trans people were his first step.

The Good Left Undone
Chamber the Cartridge
Angry Chair
Forest
Sad Statue
Frances Farmer will have her revenge on Seattle
Moon Baby TBH a bit creepy to put given some of my ... history...
UN Owen was her My previous username
was meant to be a reference to both "And Then There Were None" and this song(referencing it).

Just a small sampling of the music I listen to.

Is this all trash compared to the "music" you praise?

Because rock music and its guitar-driven subgenres stopped being any good about 30 years ago. Nothing interesting to young people nowadays is going to come from an ossified gen-x genre like hardcore which was played out before they were born.

Good music in 2017 (ex.) is the exploration of new soundscapes via electronic programming, not some guy screaming into a mic while playing a three-chord riff like every idiot's been doing since Chuck Berry.
