This conversation really isn’t about who likes what because arguing that one person’s taste is superior to another’s is pretty difficult. That’s why the only thing I’m trying to prove here is that 00s music is, by and large, less
original and hence less
remarkable than most of what went before. Do copycats and emulators sometimes come up with pretty cool stuff? Sure, but showering them with praise and laurels is bit farcical.
Another thing to note is that this isn’t a question of talent. The ability to play a guitar like Jimmi Hendrix or Frank Zappa is not in itself particularly interesting (at least not to me). It is a mechanical activity. It’s the imagination that goes into crafting new soundscapes that is significant.
Since you asked: none of the stuff you recommended to me seemed
too bad, it was just kinda predictable to be honest. There was the cutesy female singer/songwriter and various soft rock bands with progressive rock influences and really annoying whiney voices. It was all rather tame but perhaps some of it does deserve a second listening
