| Shitty mainstream music dictatorship. "You loved me but you don't love me anymore but I still love you but it can't work between uuuuuuusssss!"
Put an electronic drum beat, some synth effect, a stripping girl and peoples will belive there is talent.
An alternative: give a guitar to the first dude you meet, teach him two chords and put a lot of propaganda. You'll have Tokio Hotel and some millions teenish girl following them at all their concert.
Where is music? Lost somewhere, hidden by "musical" industry's oily and meat-less BigMac. In 20 years, all that is listenable was underground or very little known band, such as Buckethead, Joe Bonamassa or some jazz fusion artist getting old.
First of all, what's good music? Music is art, art is a way to express his feeling. Good musicians are people who can laugh and cry with his/her guitar, sax or keyboard. Gilmoure's soloing, Miles Davis' composition, Yes and King Crimson art rock...rich music is no more on the scene.
Modern ARTISTS exist, but are in the shadow of Rihanna's umbrella. What about jazz in MTV? No way sir, it's far too expensive to find talent: we've got an army of pre-fabricated boys-band waiting the current one to be unfashionable, let's say in 6 months.
You're not missing real music?
