CMV: The new wave of popular music is sickening.

I've had it up to here with the new style of "pop" music coming out today. None of it has any soul, any authenticity. It's all manufactured drivel, meant to make teenaged girls scream until they're hoarse just because the guys playing their guitars and drums are hunky.

Just look at the stuff Ed Sullivan's been showing recently. Those British folks with the bowl cuts and bass guitars just play four or five chords the entire time, and they're still making stadiums of kids go wild. All this lovey-dovey-love-me-do crap is meaningless. It's got all the emotion of instant coffee. I can't believe people actually *like* it. And their name doesn't even mean anything either! What is this world coming to?

And don't even get me started on those Surf Boys, or whatever they're called. They're just a bunch of California no-gooders who make songs about fun, fun, fun, and surfin', and Lord knows what else. Plus, they have the *audacity* to call themselves "rock"! I can't believe it, to be frank. Bill Haley and his folks were rock. The King was rock. This? This is some lazy, washed-up "music," that's what.

You know the worst part? I started listening to my pa's record collection the other day, and the things in there are *amazing.* He's got all this big-band and swing and jazz, and there's just nothing like it. A trumpet solo? That's got emotion. A nice swing groove? That's real impressive. This guitar malarkey? It's got nothing on the stuff of the past. I guess I was just born in the wrong generation - all my schoolmates just listen to crap.

The music of the past doesn't get the some scrutiny because much of the bad/derivative has been forgotten while we have people who've filtered out most of the good and original stuff over time. 

Popular music of today hasn't yet gone through that filter, hasn't had to stand the test of time, and so it can seem like modern music is awful because you're comparing it to the top ~1% or so of music from the past that people still listen to. There are countless awful 80s pop bands that you'll never hear, lots of terrible disco stuff from the 70s, etc. etc.
