Is it just me or is music dead?

I know alot of people will agree and alot won't agree. But listen to my reasons, I feel music is none other than money anymore like I mean just money there is no passion, nothing at all just lifeless, zombie mainstrean b***s**t. Even with the bands I grew up to love, I will admit they have all fell into this big business, make as much money as you can, trap.

I'm a lover of metal and hard trance (I no, weird combo but I grew up with them) . Metal has taken a turn for the worst most bands don't even make it past their 2nd album anymore because their style changes but I believe they do this against their will to make it more ''accessible'' to everyone, therefore more sales and a hell of alot more money. Trance however died long long ago, This is only my opinion now so I don't want sarcastic comments. Please note I'm only going on these 2 genres. Back to the subject at hand. The story with trance nowadays is the same, money money money and no passion or heart for music. It has become pop music for the younger generation just like most music. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying it's fully dead but I do feel alot of it died out a long time ago.

I no I don't propose much cause in the 2 paragraphs I have written, but I have left it to discussion as I can't propose any more reasons at this moment :)

Felt the exact some way for at least 3-4 years until I found

Alter Bridge

and

Porcupine Tree

It's just you.Lonelynight

Ya I can clearly see why :roll:

While I do not agree that music is dead, I believe mainstream music has taken a turn for the worse.

I simply don't like this overuse of auto-tune. Among other things. I can enjoy mainstream, I can still enjoy it for what it is, even. But I still liked it better earlier.

I don't listen to metal so i can't give you any suggestions but i don't think music is dead with bands like Them Crooked Vultures and Queens of the Stone Age still making music

Music has always been about the money, it is a business after all.

Start looking other places.

All those albums are free. Knock yourself out. You'll bound to find something there.

Yep it's just you.

It's just you. Music is not dead. End.

Depends upon your perspective.

It's not dead but it's buried under 6 feet of generic, flavourless, odorless, pop crap.

It's just you. Music is not dead. End.

I think music is dead.... for now

Even though musicians do most of their songs for money. They do it well, so it's just you yes.

As someone who listens to Spanish music, it's almost dead. If it weren't for some bachata artists like Aventura and Prince Royce, I would have given up today's music.

I don't listen to much music nowadays, but it can't be dead if it still exists.

Turn off the radio. Of course the music thats popular is gonna be mainstream **** Thats how its always been.

There is some great **** out there right now if you actually look.

youre music might be dead, but mine is alive and thriving.

actually I dont think music really dies, it just evolves into something you dont like lol

It's just you. Trust me.

It is you.

It's just you.

trance is not dead:|

tiesto, ATB, Armin van Burren

Metal is better than it's ever been these days. Dunno what you're talking aboutRobboElRobbo

music is only dead if your getting it from the radio if you actually look for music youll find something you like.

It is, until radiohead releases their new album.

music is as good as it ever was, or better, however, the good stuff is pretty unpopular.

Mainstream music is the worst it has ever been though.

Mainstream music, sure. But music as a whole? No.dreDREb13

LOL at mainstream music.

Well that really depends on your musical taste, as much as I hate most of todays mainstream music, there are plently of people who seem to like it.

I just feel like you have to look harder for good new music. I usually stick with Classic Rock and Alternative Rock though.

I think it has. I'll occasionally here something good, or cool, but, for the most part, most modern music is crap. Even bands I like are no good anymore and should give up. (I'm looking at you AC/DC.) Like I said, there's the occasional good tune, but it just stinks most of the time.
