The old music is better for one main reason, It paved the way for the new. Modern music is not as original as it may seem. If you study music theory you will see that modern music uses most of the same principles as the old music. They may have more digital and other weird sounds now but the fundamentals are the same. I like some of the new music as well. I'm in my late 30's so I'm sort of in between the old and the new.Do you ever get tired of hearing your parents and other ancient people tell you about how music was so much better back in their day? They claim they had the best music, and the best dance moves, and that all our music is noise! Sometimes i listen to the old stuff, but it can't compare with our modern greats. they just had Elvis and Michael Jackson! What's better in your opinion - old or new?
Brilliant. I saw Blondie just a few weeks ago here in UK....another come back.....absolutely spot on.....brilliant. Ok...and I know that One Direction have also covered this song....but lets not go there....hang on...its actually really good. oppps.I have more favourite "old" bands than "new" bands currently. I would've definitely said new music was better about 5 years ago, but now I completely disagree. Maybe that's just because I love Punk music especially the 1976-1979 era. Most of the bands I love which are current have been inspired one way or another by Punk anyway.
Edit- I didn't mean to actually put that Blondie reference in there... But it worked.
