You play the age card against me all the time but it's not me who wanders into this forum looking uneducated is it? You're genuinely out of touch with all the great modern music post 95. No wonder you don't understand why I voted FNM as number 1.

Really when I listen to most music today you can tell how little it's moved on. I have a great deal of post ninety five music. Truth is music goes in fashions as you get older (you played the youth card 😂 ) you will understand this more.
Your own tastes also change a bit, I used to enjoy more aggressive music, but as I have grown older I enjoy people who speak to me at the age I am now in their songs. Is that a bad thing - Not in my opinion, now I own a house and have a stable relationship, good job, finished my education and am expecting a baby, most twenty years olds music has little to say to me. It will have little to say to you one day, you can only have so much angst and you will fondly remember the angst filled bands of your youth although you will play them less and less.

I'm following you now. Interesting.....
...would be kind of weird though to say it and not believe it. But, I could see how most new bands would want others to perceive themselves as having a sense of history, and knowing their craft, seem intelligent, blah, blah, blah instead of just trying to make a "quick buck".

The music is all still in existence though: one need only listen to it with an eye on the chronological details; living through it isn't compulsory.

Doesn't though does it? That's you being bitter because music HAS changed a great deal and it's no longer how you like it. I'm sorry but that's just tough. When I get older I'm sure music will again be greatly different than now, but that's what happens. Music changes, musicians get older and musicians die. They can't be around forever and things can't stay the same.
Music has changed a great deal, you just don't like what it's changed to.

Hahahaha! How ironic, you complain about music becoming phases or fashions and yet YOU grew out of it because the musical trend you were into happened to pass. Irony at it's best. What a love of music YOU had, eh?
The difference between you and I is that you chose to listen to bands who WERE angst filled and speaking "to you", as said above. I love music, what they're speaking about doesn't matter to me.

Of course not and most of it is more prevalent than the stuff you and AC lord some of which is not bad at all. But it's prevalence shows how influential it still is.

Happens all the time. The Beatles in popular music, while the trend du jour in metal is to name Black Sabbath.

So you like the music but the song never sings to your soul, I get it the poetry means little to you. Thats OK I'll take Soul over Content anyday.

Agreed, Vic about Black Sabbath and what not. The only difference is the Beatles touched waaaay more people whether true or fictitously (as AC has said, which I won't discount altogether-it's a half truth).
Depends who you ask. However it's important to maintain the distinction between popularity and influence.

Where did you get that from? The music is extremely important to me and touches my "soul" more than anything.
Hence why it will always mean as much to me. I don't like any of the bands I do due to trends, you obviously did and to you the lyrics were obviously so important that your love decreased when you got older.
Won't happen with me because lyrics don't mean much to me, music does. Music is timeless.

Resorting to telling me i'm out of ammo really is empty AC remember and act on this 😉
There's nothing wrong with having nothing to say - unless you insist on saying it.
Wait wait, I thought you were joking.
You genuinely believe you can tell me why I choose to listen to bands...and be right? I always thought you were a pretend idiot, not an actual one.
I don't and never have listened to bands because of trends. You have, but that's not my fault. I haven't and your self-disappointment for following trends doesn't mean I have done so.

AC as usual you misunderstand
To call you an idiot would not only be a waste of precious breath, but also an insult to idiots worldwide. We can trade insults all day 😂 Truth is you just don't get it.
