    That’s kinda how I feel about all of his videos. He’s a great illustration of latching on to the music of your formative years and firmly stating that everything after that is crap.

    In present day, you’ve got to sift through a lot of crap to find the good new stuff.

    What this guy doesn’t ever address is that has always been true.

    My daughter always said I was lucky to grow up in the eighties because we had the best music. To this I responded that I only played her the good stuff. All the really crappy stuff, of which there was a LOT, kinda got filtered out of collective memory.

        Bookmarking this comment so I can look up the artists later! Always looking for new music.

        I think part of his these-although he doesn’t address it directly- is that even though there is still good music coming out it’s likely going to get drowned out by the flood of mediocrity because it’s all coming out so fast.

      This is commonly known as Sturgeon’s Law.

      90% of everything is crap. There were a ton of bands contemporary to the Beatles. Most of them aren’t well remembered.

        I looked him up. He’s an old session musician. Those guys get particularly bitter about modern studio production.

      There is and always will be amazing music. I grew up with classic rock and classic country. Now I’m listening to Tierra Whack. I’m a 46 year old white dude. I am sooooo not her demographic but fuck it good music is good music.
