@FontanaCinemas I can't really argue with you, as I have no idea where you're drawing any of this from. Bands would have an easier time drawing crowds due to technology, and yeah it would be easier to narrow down ones tastes to exactly what they want. Accessibility of music does not account for taste, and it's impossible not to look at the past that way as there are equally as many shitty bands right now as there were back then. Obviously people are going to focus on the good music of each era.

@ChadOnTheNet Yes, the good bands of today are getting a much bigger audience than the good bands of the 60's did. As long as you are good, you can find an audience and make a living on your music. And today you can find exactly what you are looking for. Audiences are more sophisticated, and the music is better. If you want to look upon the past with rose-tinted goggles that's your own business. But it's not honest.

@FontanaCinemas the point is, are these 'random bands' getting the recognition they deserve like they got back in the 60's? Just because good music exists, does not mean it's going to come out on top in 20 years and be cherished and remembered like the good bands from the past. I feel like there are so many bands and so many will be forgotten as a result of it. It just feels like we have to work much harder, pushing through shit music, to find good music even in this technology based era.

@ChadOnTheNet And that's precisely what's wrong with the argument. There were always shitty pop bands flooding the charts with the random good band thrown into the mix. The golden age was not the 60's. The Golden Age is now. You can find 100 times more good music RIGHT NOW than you could have back in the 60's. There are thousands you've never heard of.

@FontanaCinemas I think he was referring more to the accessibility of music today in terms of technology. I won't deny that we live in an age in which there is some brilliant music being put out there, but the popular, mainstream music is no longer the legends like the stones, the beatles, simon and garfunkel, the doors (i'm going too 60's but whatever) we saw everywhere back in their time. They WERE the Bieber and the lady gaga we hate today (but good), thats what makes it the golden age then.

0:57 Your beard will come in due time, young padawan.

@Skateda703 saying, "I like acoustic music" is a less douchey way of conveying your idea

I never knew Paris Hilton listened to great music as well! 2:18
@Skateda703 Yeah, and there's a difference between food and transportation - what's your point?

@Skateda703 Well, we still live in the time of Dylan (who tours CONSTANTLY), and Paul McCartney and Simon and Garfunkel went on tour last year, right? So am I really sounding like a dumbass??
There are SOOO many bands to listen to with the internet.
You can find out about a band that started recording LAST WEEK.
You can download or stream your favorite Miles Davis concert ANY TIME YOU WANT.
Yes, we live in the Golden Age of music.
Go pay attention to Lady Gaga and shit, but I won't.
