@slayermate07 Modern music is different, but not worse. It's for different audiences. Just because something is old does not make it better. I think every decade had amazing music and not-so-great music. That does not mean the whole generation has gone to hell. We just have a different culture today than we did back then and so we create different types of music to represent this generation. It's like when people see a good classic film and say modern film sucks. It's not bad, just different

@yarful And now you attack my character when the argument simply started by offering more open minded ideas than what was already present on this page. I'm not arguing that this music is at all bad. I'm just trying to say that I like more than JUST this. How does that mean I have minimal grasp on life?

[yarful]

@PDavidProductions I would venture to guess that you have a minimal grasp on many things in life, not just music. In 10 years nobody will no who lil wayne is. In 200 years people will still be listening to pieces such as this one. So by all means, continue standing. Having an open mind doesn't mean you suddenly have an understanding on anything.

[PDavidProductions]

@yarful That's exactly what I did, and I stand by that statement, but saying that to you is pointless. It's not like any logic I use will go into account for you because you've already made up your mind, which is fine, but don't say I have no grasp on music because some people have an open mind to music, while you're stuck in your little bubble.

[yarful]

@PDavidProductions You sir, have absolutely zero grasp on music or complexity of a piece if you think anything you hear on the radio is even in the same ball park of complexity as the three greats. You do realize you just roped the three greatest composers of all time into the same category as lil wayne.... because he has 'clever lyrics' lol.

faith in humanity for today: -1

@slayermate07 I've heard plenty good music from the last few years. It's not all bad, but some of the best stuff isn't exactly prominent.

I see what you are saying, but again, I have to differ. I do appreciate what todays music has to offer, be it layered beats, lyrics etc. However, having analyzed scores of music from great composers and music from today, the music of the 1500's on is vastly more complex on the melodic, harmonic, and occasionally the lyrical level(have you ever tried writing a song in German?) Composers not only did this without the aid of tech, but did it with style. Writing for 50+ instruments is genius.

[PDavidProductions]

@ficarraguitarra1 not as complex? Today's music not only has to incorporate thousands of computerized beats that all work in harmony (do you see a connection?), but also has to concern itself with clever (or audibly pleasing) lyrics, which force the artist to stretch his or her ability with language to great levels. I'd say today's music is every bit as complex as Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart's music was in their respective periods. You just notice it less because of all the added layers.

[ficarraguitarra1]

While it may be true that each generation creates an entirely new sound, it cannot be denied by you, or anyone else, that the music of today contains no where near the complexity melodic/harmonic progressions and musicality that the music of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras Music today is much simpler, thus the reason we call Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart the great composers-because no man has matched their musical genius. I have hope for us but thus far nothing of today compares to this
