I used to be the kid who said, "new music is no good". I was stuck in the past. If you acutally take the time and listen to what is out there many will quickly change there tune. My big problem tho is the ones who say "music on mtv/radio is there for a reason, because it is good" alluding to the conclusion that anything not played on the radio isnt good. That is garbage. It isnt played on the radio because it is good, its played on the radio becuase big money hungry corporations tell you its good. and thats the last thing I want, people telling me what to listen to. Sure, System of a down - BYOB is the [censored], dont get me wrong, but take the time and listen to the whole album, its amazing.
There is great music being made everyday, however you have to look somewhere other than the mass media (radio/mtv for the slow) to find it.
