The State of Music has never been better * 5
    #22465344 - 11/02/15 04:55 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

We are living in the most interesting musical times and the most abundant times.

There is nothing in music you cannot try and will be seen as weird. People are now very accepting of the fact that music is about experimentation and finding new sounds. Remember when back in the day, some people were unsure if Ministry was EVEN MUSIC? Remember when people questioned whether rap was music or not? Those days are long gone.

Now, you can sound like a band form the 70's mixed in with elements of modern electronic. You can blend any two or three or four types of music. Everything old is new again. There is a whole genre based around sounding 80's. Some people make 90's sounding stuff on purpose. It is almost as if music is not limited to the time period it is made in any more.

When most people bitch about music being crap these days, they are REALLY just bitching about how HARD it is to find music they fall in love with. Abundance and a much cheaper entry level to making music has contributed to the enormous amount of music out there, which in turn translates to more hours searching for it.

I've always thought though, if we see a band or musical act on par with the influence of the Beatles, in won't happen until I'm a great-great-great Grandfather.

I agree.

It pains me to see people saying music is crap now just because they're too stupid to use the internet.

Here are roughly my current ratios for music searching:

My wife and I will go on new music hunts about 3 times a week
and as a very rough estimate:

Out of 100 songs,
we will LOVE 1 (like absolute classic, a song I may not get bored of until 2-20 years have gone by)
About 10 we will really dig, not quite love, but think are awesome
and the rest is a combo of we won't hate it but won't listen to it again
and stuff that sucks.

To be fair, if you turned on the radio to listen to anything new, you'll find 100% crap.  I don't think most people care enough about music to dig for it, unfortunately.

OP is backed 100%. So much crazy good music out there these days, makes me proud to be a music fan in this decade. Unfortunately it's kind of daunting as an aspiring musician as it seems like no matter how good your music is, it won't matter if you can't "break in" and get a solid amount of people sharing your music. It's easy to fade into obscurity among the masses of would-be musicians. That has always been the case, but the "market" becomes more and more flooded every day.

It's only hard to find music because it is so readily available and easy to put out these days. In the 70s unless you had a shit load of money you couldn't put your own music out.... Now everyone has a "record label" cause they can put the music out from home on their computer

How do y'all go about finding new music?  My main way is through asking friends to throw some tunes on while we hang out.  I agree that the music scene is great right now and im blessed to live in the music hub of Massachusetts.  There are so many different sounds popping up and it's all so accepted its lovely.

Here's some twiddle =D

Why would anyone want to see a BISCUITS run? 2002 is long gone and barber is a fucking joke at best, but more often just an embarrassment.  9/24/09 was the last good biscuits show.  They are done.  It's funny to see people act like they are doing something special though.  Calling brownie and barber musicians is really insulting to peopl around the world who actually learned to play their instrument. They are just a Cashgrab band at this point.  The biscuits are like anal sex...they are painful and invasive,  but if you get lubed up enough and make yourself their bitch maybe you can pretend it's not horrible :rofl:

Yeah, i'm not a biscuits fan at all.  That being said, lots of people are still really into them.  Im not sure why.  They should be listening to Twiddle instead!

Bieber hasn't been rising anywhere in years. Last I heard about him he'd recently picked up an opiate habit and caught a DUI. I don't think Ludacris even makes music anymore. Just learned Luda's still in the game, somehow

I don't like Drake but he has a few good tracks (read: ones he doesn't rap on). Dude is just straight up a bad rapper and he doesn't even write his own verses.

I agree except the whole "if we see an act on par with the influence of the Beatles"
First, your wording there makes it difficult to read and properly understand. Truly though, The Beatles weren't the end-all-be-all of music, Velvet Underground was doing great shit with sound too. Then you could argue that The Doors were even more influential prior to all that.

There are a few bands that still create new music which have the potential to be a catalyst for large genre and style movements. Ironically, Modest Mouse is amongst them. The Pixies come to mind as well, they'll be inspiring artists for decades to come.

Saying "oh no one will top the influence of The Beatles until I'm dead" is quite dense. You can't objectify music like that.

The Velvet Underground is pretty much the be-all end-all of rock music for me :inlove:

Nah that is definitely an overstatement, but the VU are a lot more important to me than the Beatles. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if an artist really became as pervasively influential as the Beatles were in their time, but I would be surprised if it was a rock band. Rock music doesn't occupy the same cultural space these days as it did in the 60s and 70s.

I'm not saying the Beatles are the end all be all nor even the best, but none of the bands you mentioned had even come close to the impact the Beatles had on pop-music. I'm just saying there is no way in hell there has been a band more influential than the Beatles, so far and I don't think I'll see a band like that or my grandkids will. Most influential does not mean best or greatest, which they aren't.

I don't listen to music. I listen to podcasts all day and use binaural beats for meditation . I only put music on it hosting a social event.
I think it's sort of a disease I have where I don't love music like other people do.

I love dancing though and there is lots of music I love including bass nectar for example but never go out of my way to listen to music.

It's not hard to find good music if you belong to a private torrent tracker. Other what.cd users know what music is good. I just pay attention to what is being downloaded and download that. What's hot right now...

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

The new Neon Indian album "VEGA INTL. Night School" is pretty dope. Just came out a couple weeks ago.

Out of 100 songs,
we will LOVE 1 (like absolute classic, a song I may not get bored of until 2-20 years have gone by)
About 10 we will really dig, not quite love, but think are awesome
and the rest is a combo of we won't hate it but won't listen to it again
and stuff that sucks.




That seems like a lot of effort. Last few years I have just downloaded the top few albums on Pitchfork. I prefer to have someone else listen to the shit for me so I don't have to. I don't really have the time to listen to 98 songs I won't like, maybe if I was a music critic getting paid for it or something. I would have to listen to a thousand songs just to have a 10 song playlist I like. That's not really practical.

If I'm not digging the song after 30 seconds to 1 minute, I go to the next. That's also why I love GTA soundtracks, there is a lot of good songs on there. I love exploring art though, so this is not a waste of time for me.

It really annoys me when people say music today sucks, thats so wrong. Music these days is great, you just have to actually care and find it on your own. Pretty much anything on the radio is gonna either be top 40 crap that sucks or its old music that we have all heard a bunch of times before. On soundcloud you can find some great tunes and artists. You have to find it yourself. That music exists

And I love the point the OP made, artists are willing to push limits now unlike back in the day and thats awesome! Theres some really eclectic music out there now

Welcome to the shroomery :hug:

Soundcloud is immense. So much great, original music on there that most people will probably never hear.

haha thanks! Ive heard about this place on other forums and been a lurker for a while so I finally decided to make an account. This place seems pretty cool

And yeah soundcloud is awesome. So much music on there. For an artist its just a great way to get your name out there. Free music will attract people to your shows

I strongly disagree. The easy access to shitty artists has just brought about huge quantities of the same beats and synth keys... You just can't tell the difference because you are not musically engaged enough

Indeed. If you have any interest in atmospheric, hip hop oriented beats check out the Soundcloud link in my sig, I produce beats.

You a musician at all? Question's open to anyone in this thread, I love listening to other musicians' on the shroomery

Nah I just love music and am always tryin to look up new names on soundcloud. I dont even use iTunes anymore or pandora or spotify. Soundcloud is so handy that it's really all that I need

If soundcloud got shut down, I would just be totally lost. Id feel like I just lost a huge part of my life

How do y'all go about finding new music?  My main way is through asking friends to throw some tunes on while we hang out.  I agree that the music scene is great right now and im blessed to live in the music hub of Massachusetts.  There are so many different sounds popping up and it's all so accepted its lovely.

Here's some twiddle =D






Yea mass is pretty good finding interesting music :cookiemonster::elmo:

I don't know where the music hub is located , like city wise, lol so I'm just assuming we have a large one

Learn to play an instrument yourself. Without my guitars in times of darkness I would be ready to go into kill mode (unfortunately)

There is a lot of shit being produced, yes. And a lot great stuff. Easy access is not just available to "shitty" artists, but to everyone. Before recent times, you had to be able to afford instruments and lots of equipment and oftentimes music lessons to be able to get to the point where you can be in a band. Nowadays, anyone who is musically gifted that has a computer can produce music. Sucks to be you if you can't find the great stuff.
