Every generation bemoans the state of music and how it was best in their day. Music is in a constant state of renewal and there has been good, bad and terrible music in every era.
In 2040 we'll have middle aged people saying how terrible music is and how they miss the good old days of grime, K-pop etc from the 20s...
I was wondering if, as you say, in 20-40 years time, people will look back and describe anything from the last 20 years (or the next) as ground breaking or 'changing the world'. Possibly it will and some of us are just too old to see itWhen freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

I thought electronic stuff of the late 70's early 80's was tulipe, but now when you look back and watch BBC4 and Sky Arts documentaries about the period, it doesn't look quite as bad and you can see that it was new and in a state of development and evolution.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI remember playing the Pistols to my mother when they came out, her comment was "it's just rock and roll but the singer can't sing". There was nothing really revolutionary about the music
Others that were touted as being the new Pistols followed in their wake but none generated the same levels of outrage as they did. I'm thinking Jesus and Mary Chain and Sigue Sigue Sputnik in particular and though TJAMC were good I seem to recall they just used to upset people by not showing up to their gigs!Comment

Quite the opposite. The Gruan is more in favour of modern artists than the papers stuck in the past who want Elgar played everywhere.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
