There is a lot of talk in this blog about the decline of music quality today. We have outlined several factors such like globalization and the mass media production, the technology booming, the way music is promoted, the record labels etc…

We accept that the majority of popular music today is not as meaningful comparing to the music of the 80s, 70s etc and it seems that a lot of people will agree with this statement, however there will still be a percentage of those who may have a different opinion.

We have added this poll in order to get a flavor of what people think about this issue.

We reccomend also to use the comment form and tell us more of what you really believe.

   Cultures was always mixed. Most of the human achievements are a result of cultural interactions. Even the traditional music is the same. Today cultures are mixed badly and not in purpose of creation but of profit.

   I believe music in the past was much better than now. Music was predominantly influenced by the cultures, and nowadays cultures are being merged heavily due to globalizations, music is also changed. Moreover who has time and patience to enjoy the traditional music.

   today’s mainstream is too conforming and cookie-cutter. Have we really discovered all the music styles available? Everything just seems to be regurgitated.

   Thanks for your vote and your time.
   I absolutely agree with you that our music has to do with our culture. We have mention it a lot of times that today what we have is a fast food culture, or better say it a nouveau riche lifestyle. This is what the Media promote all the time in order to make the people as less inactive as possible.

   I’m not saying there are no good things today, but there is so much cheapness. As far as the edges you say… I believe that reflects the coldness in our social life. For me it looks like, the people are simply tired of almost everything but we react wrongly. We all try to find what is going wrong but we don’t see the truth is in front of us. We have ended up consume machines rather than human beings with free will. What is civilization? Working all together for the common good, but we prefer to destroy rather than build up, and this is so hard to change it as the few try to oppress the many.

   Love the subject matter of this post! Have been thinking about this a lot lately. Culturally right now we are obsessed with our vampires and our secrets and a need to be different and whatever we do we have to be edgy. Our music is no exception (pop with an edge, r&b with an edge, country… you guessed it, with an edge!)

   So the real question could be.. is our culture as good as the past? Becuase whatever we are doing culturally, will definitely be reflected in our music.
