Well Clint you know how I feel about this. I dont feel like most of the modern rock bands can play nearly as well as the classic artists. I know there will be intense debate, and some of you can point to all kinds of modern bands where they are good players, but, I see things like Arctic Monkeys, White Stripes, Kings of Leon, even Queens of the Stone Age, and all I hear is mediocre and worse musical ability. It just doesnt do it for me.
 
A lot of it is backlash, surely, the 80s hairmetal people took music ability to an almost Olympic level of competition.
 
It could also be that old farts like me simply cant relate to the new stuff, for example, I loathe rap, and it seems to be an almost invasive movement into rock. Probably a natural tendecy for a lot of people to give up on modern stuff and start looking farther backwards.

"Of all media, why is music the most susceptible to people giving up
on it as they age? Is current music just not as good as it once was?
Or are you one step away from yelling at kids to get off your lawn?"
