Am I old? Or was music better in my youth? (1970s-1980s)

[uriel1972]

74. The '80's was one of music's explosion eras...

New types of instruments and delivery formats along with the willingness to break old formulas brought about so many new and short-lived sounds and bands that I loved so much.

Tragic New Wave fan speaking lol.

The '90's brought about refinement of the '80's styles and sounds, but it was already forming into tired old ruts and tropes that we see and hear so often on the media today. Especially with the policy of SUPERSTAR or don't bother of the studios it's hard for new music to break out and amaze us.

That's not to say there isn't good new music... there is and there always will be, it's just that you will never hear it played. You will have to search high and low for it.

And yes, like me Yavin IV (where have I heard that name before, I'm sure it was a movie... I dunno), you are becoming an old fart... minute by minute... hour by hour... day by day... it stalks you.
