Does anyone else feel like, old music gets preserved well beyond its expiration date? And old bands have been musically irrelevant for a long time, as in, they don't put out good music anymore? And people are trying to keep the bands' legacies alive in an inappropriate manner, to the point that it actually stifles up and coming creativity? Don't get me wrong, there are some old bands that I really love, such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Metallica. I just feel like people shouldn't gush over old bands and keep the music scene trapped in the past, always trying to live up to old standards. There are newer artists I listen to, such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Billie Eilish, and Grimes, who really take modern music to a really great place, and it would be really cool if more modern artists did novel stuff with their music. People shouldn't gatekeep old bands, they're old news. Let's bring in the new.

Ah so you hate actual  music




Nothing the new poser you have listed even comes close

I often lament that Mozart isn't putting out any good music any more. It always seems to be the same stuff.

Classical music is definitely good, but also boring.

He has been dead for some time for sure. But the truth is, all the music every generation, older, our generation, or younger, has always hinged on change. I cannot imagine ABBA or Metallica or Queen existing, for example if Mozart had not existed.

Someone's obviously never heard jungle boogie.

New "music" sucks!
I'll stick with Hendrix.

Have a nice day. Thank you very much.

While alive, he was composing. Now he is decomposing.

You shouldn't be concerned over what music other people like and want to listen to.  It's none of your business.

Of the three artists you mentioned, only Eilish is remotely "new".
