I see I'm not the only one that can rant as close to literal as one can reach forever about how completely enraged and even more deeply saddened about the current culture of not just the music industry and the world of music but all other facets of culture and the arts as well. I too despise the current times we live in when it comes to what is valued as good and right for the arts and culture vs instant gratification, especially compared to what we had.
I see the current civilized culture(s) going no where better too, it will get worse and worse imo unless as stated someone or some people step up and turn things around quick.
Do you know Miley Cyrus said her favorite band was Radiohead, and she didn't know what Hail to the Theif or Exit Music (for a film) was?
I just see people especially in masses being so sheepish and to be frank unknowingly brainwashed that the good will be driven out not just of sight, but eventually fade from memory too, and that is the real feeling of lost hope when I really think upon such a subject. Unless someone can start being at the front leading the way. It just seems like 50 years from now if the world doesn't go to complete ***** that people will be talking about Lil Wayne instead of Hendrix or Dylan because they didn't know any better, my opinion of course.
I feel like we had it sooo good, and for whatever reason we changed course and our headed for the end with no sight of return, it really seems like it won't ever be as good as it was, but maybe I'm just a pessimist, I am.
Then again this goes more about how I view culture and time period in general more than just music, "In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey" Loser, Beck, 1994~
It was good to see I'm not alone in how I view the current culture of music and how I feel the masses are misdirected.
