What the FUCK happened to music?

who watches this obvious click bait?

>>127343253
Its for old retired men who just discovered youtube in the last 5 years. same thing with the videos like "[musicians] HATES these 5 bands" and then the video is just fake AI shit. youtube is garbage for music commentary. the zillenial targeted channels are just as bad really

>>127343200 (OP)
It's the same thing that happened when his generation was growing up in the 16th century, how dare the lute become an obsolete instrument is something his parents thought! This will happen in time, we will get old, wonder what the fuck is the newer generation listening to and how music is crap. This pattern will keep going forward each generation.

>>127343200 (OP)
2 more weeks until music finally collapses for good
Screencap this

idk what happened but its definitely zoomers fault

>>127343513
let's goooooo

Boomers really thought Pink Floyd, Madonna, Britney Spears, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Black Sabbath and others would still be topping charts. Get over it.

>>127343689
>Black Sabbath
>topping charts
Never happened

>>127345102
Paranoid reached number 1 in the UK charts

>>127343507
I'd like to think I'll never be like him.

>>127345139
Just this summer? Non boomers btfo.

>>127343200 (OP)
he is genuinely 100% right. also he's a miles better music reviewer than anyone who doesn't discuss the actual compositional qualities of a song (almost everyone).

>>127345461
Brad makes mu seethe

>>127343253
Oh, sorry. Because watching your "theneedledrop"/"deep cuts" kind of channel is not clickbaiting you into listening to industry plants and is much better than listening to actual rock music anyway.

Criminally under-viewed.

>>127343507
modern music is shit because it's harmonically shit

>>127343200 (OP)
I swear boomers were literally music gods because everything before and after them was total shit.

I agree with him.

>>127346293

Skip his clickbait/ragebait but his What Makes This Song Great vids were really good. The Steely Dan ones especially

Rick Beato has a horse cock

jews still cared then

"his What Makes This Song Great vids were really good"
>let's check this song out
>now that's an F MAJOR CHORD... isn't that so cool? let's solo the guitars
>*obvious mistake in song*
>see? music was so much better before click tracks

>>127343200 (OP)
I need a shit

>>127343507
Not true. I don't find music from the 16th century to be crap because it's old.
This is a very modern mentality that we project onto past eras, since modernity accustomed people to seeking novelty in ever-new currents and products

>>127343200 (OP)
I watched all vids they were good in particular:

>>127346136
Boomers were half assed degenerates that thought amplification and electronics made them look creative.
Gen X took it in more interesting directions anyway. Boomers did not create Dungeon Synth for example.
What happened was millennials and their complete cultural and creative bankruptcy. But now everyone blames zoomers instead.
Its just the mainstream thats even shittier right now than it has always for the most part been. So no. Music is not dying. Pop slop is.

>>127353087
Its funny to me how boomers live in this idiosyncracy of being liberal snobs towards pre-boomer music yet also being conservative snobs towards post-boomer music. As if only they mattered. In actual truth they mattered little creatively. And their few accomplishments are overshadowed by all the slop even that would inspire.
Nothing pisses me off more than this whole the whole world needs to stop immediately phenomenon as soon as some famous boomer dies.

Above video sums up Ozzys recent passing as well aside from the suicide aspect.

>>127354170
>Boomers did not create Dungeon Synth for example
This point alone makes boomers sound good.

Modern pop is way simpler than in prior decades - it's shorter, lyrics are less complex, chord progressions are simpler, it's more focused on hooks, etc. It's basically become totally commoditized, there was a book on it about 10 years ago. This may be changing though. I read an article that songs are actually starting to get longer.

>>127354372
I would like to tell you its all subjective but nah. Boomers gave us utter nonsensical crap like Einstürzende Neubauten instead.
I stick to shit thats actually listenable instead.

>>127354397
too fucking late now, we already used all the good hooks

>>127354397
Get over yourself, boomer. Pop was always slop. That its sloppier than ever right now should serve as a wake up call to what this CIA circus music always was. But no. Not just boomers but a lot of gen x and millennials too feel like they have to retreat back to their youth and wallow in the pits of nostalgia. Pathetic.

Black Sabbath was MI6 circus music. Some of their stuff manages to be good regardless though. But it was still MI6 circus music.
Literal feds were drowning them in Cocaine while they were renting John du Ponts mansion in Bel Air during the Vol.4 sessions.

>>127354751
Not everything is a conspiracy chud. Black Sabbath invented metal. Nobody working at the CIA capable of making those riffs. Theyd be famous musicians, not working in intelligence on government pay. Kibbles and bits baby.

>>127354859
You are on drugs. If you are not then you are more than welcome to try and debunk what I said about the Vol. 4 sessions. Instead of you know just reflexeviley and aloofly dissmissing me because you think you look cool doing so. But nah. You are just cringe and shallow.

>>127354920
Snopes says you are wrong, oh chuddy ol pal

>>127354937
When did they say i was wrong? Sauce me, cringemeister.
If my memory serves me correct right now Ozzy himself admits in his autobiography that some of the pushers worked for the government.

>>127354990
Ozzy said a lot of crazy things and a lot of things tongue in cheek. Proves nothing. Snopes is a proven winner, i'll trust my sources over yours.

>>127354859
And nobody was saying the MI5 or CIA wrote the music. But that they were pushed and planted by government agencies and even military intel. Read Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon. I do not recall Black Sabbath being named in that book though. But they still carried all the hallmarks. The Vol. 4 sessions alone suffices. But there is more.

>>127355013
Then post the source you utter clown.

>>127355029
I know all about that laurel canyon propaganda made up for book sales.

>>127355064
You are not even trying anymore.
Both Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon and Programmed to Kill is among some of the most impeccably well researched shit ever printed.

>>127355093
Damn right I'm not trying. If I want fiction I'll shop in the fiction aisle. If you want to waste your time on that then that's on you pal.

>>127355064
>>127355093
And there really only is that one book that actually delves deep into Laurel Canyon and governmnet agenices/military intels influence on popular music. So how was it made up for book sales, you complete fucking midwit? Go back to shiditt and stay there forever.

>>127355120
Yes. Yes. Keep going, you snarky assface. Keep calling it fiction. Call me a chud again. That will show me. Thats really like my fucking cryptonite. How did you know that? Ow it hurts so bad when you call me a chud. How will I ever recover?
Thanks for yet another braindead conversation, mega clown.

Nothing. It always been this way. Only people like you care about youtubers. Critics have no real power. They offer nothing but parroting mainstream opinions

Not really. I have been worse.

Finally some good news

>>127343200 (OP)
rick's a massive faggot cus he never tries to listen to anything he might actually like. all he does is check spotify top 10s and ignore the existence of anything else. everything is negative, nothing promotes positivity other than when he talks about the past. effectively he's part of the problem of modern music. i guarantee he'd nut from pic related, one of the best rock albums of all time which came out ~5 years ago, one which could use some exposure in west from someone in his position, but he'll never even know it exists.

>>127343200 (OP)
it actually makes me sick to my stomach that we both love Swervedriver…. he’s so unworthy of music that good.

>>127357158
He does say positive stuff about some chart songs. It's not surprising that you'd focus on what's popular for the purpose of making content the most people will watch. Let alone not listen to any given obscure album. Outside of mu everyone who says modern music sucks will add the asterisk "pop music specifically"

>>127354170
Gen Z is getting really fucked over a barrel by boomers. At worse you guys are making similarly good pop music as millennials at the same age. Millennials didn't really invent any music but at least you guys made hyperpop.

>>127343253
>>127343461
let's hear you girls break down a hit song. production, harmony, melody, band history, industry context. then play every single part live except the drums and sometimes even the drums.

Jesus Christ, take your meds. I can understand the Doors being CIA music because Morrison's father was a high-ranking military official but Sabbath was a bunch of fuck-ups from Birmingham that were trying to get famous.

>>127345951
who said we like those faggots either?

>>127346136
boomers made shit music

>>127343200 (OP)
What the fuck happened that an old boomer cunt gets viewers at all. He's literally the old man yelling at clouds personified.

>>127343200 (OP)
He is correct. Music HAS become worse.
>Why have your ratings of rock album steadily declined over the decades?
>It is unfair to compare an album of the 1960s with an album of the 1990s (or, worse, later). In the old days it was expensive to make an album, hence musicians would make one only when they had a lot of material and could select the best of the best. The vast majority of their output was left unreleased. As the cost of making a disc decreased, musicians started releasing everything they compose. Inevitably, the average quality of an album has decreased.
>When a new genre/style/discipline is created (as it was in the 1960s), pretty much everybody is doing something original and influential that will be remembered for decades or centuries. The generations who come afterwards are not as lucky: whatever they do it is likely to evoke something that was already done a generation or two earlier. Therefore their output sounds less exciting to the listeners of the previous generations.
>Combine these two points and you get the explanation to why you don't hear a 9/10 anymore these days.
It is not even clear why there should be albums at all anymore. In the age of the download, why should artists release music in units of roughly 45 minutes? Just because in the 190s that was the format that made sense for the technology available at the time (the 33 RPM long-playing record)? It will eventually become meaningless to rate an "album" because the "album" in most cases is just an artificial marketing tool. Very few "albums" are designed to be such (and they are usually called "concept albums"). The main reason to still group songs together is that they are recorded at the same studios during the same period by the same group of musicians. That too is likely to change in the age of digital recording.
Prove this fucking wrong. You can't

>>127355595
it was funny how he had a little something to say about every album on that list but the Eminem one.

Also that is false, 60s music just as much averaged 10 filler tracks for every good song.
