I'm a Classical musician and it's quite likely that there is no one on this site that would share my opinion, but the best works of music ever written are all Classical. It's very hard for people like me to look up there favorite pieces on youtube only to find that it has only 35,000 or so views. I'll admit that I was a fan of SOAD a few years ago, but now my intake is strictly Classical, and even Classical music has begun to rot over the past century. People have started believing that to really make it big, they have to innovate. This notion has created, unbearable pieces that have no purpose but to be studied by music majors. A truly well written piece has to be enjoyable to the layman.
Thus music is slowly dying. It will take a true miracle for music to relive its lively past.

Thus music is slowly dying. It will take a true miracle for music to relive its lively past.
i dont want to call this statement stupid. but its deffinatly not very intelligent. music has expanded so far out since the 1600-1700's when classical music was prime. we have evolved in music and now we have the most powerfull and the most diverse form of music there is. rock. i can respect that you like classical the most, but to say that rock isnt as strong as classical is not smart
And i`m actually a person who doesnt care about that mainstream stuff.I listen to my own music like Death Metal,Death Core and other brutal stuff but sometimes it really pisses me off when people discuss some1 like Justin Bieber in METAL videos even though everybody already know he is GAY.
i'm with you on there. but now even the more extreme genres are becoming major sellouts (example: winds of plague. listen to their first album then compare it to their latest album and you'll see what i mean).
so in a way, yeah, most of music has changed for the worse. but like everything else, msuic changes with time. who knows? music might actually change for the better in a few years. boring, repeitive, autotuned rap might become the world's most haed genre and 50's 60's rock might make a comeback, or even classical music from about 400 hundred years ago. all we have to do is wait and have our ears tormented with commercialized human waste that we've all come to know as poop.
In my own opinion, music doesn't necessarily get worse. Culture and society change quite often; which shapes what music is perceived as good and or bad

thats not because they signed to a major label though. ive givin this schpeel many many times on AG so hit me up on my page if you want to know why their last album sucked
music has evolved and changed a lot. but it has changed in many different ways too. the popular music has changed from techno to pop to rock to rap etc. it all depends on how you see it to determine whether it is for better or worse though.
Well depends... All that stupid bieber pop thing just arent good even the metal has turned stupid with the screaming and satanic lyrics... Just stick with good old classic rock(led zepellin) and classic metal(Iron Maiden, Metallica)
The music has actually changed for the better. If you don't change with the environment you could stuck behind and the audience won't lie you. The singers like Akon,eminem, and lady gaga, are one of the best and they are from this century itself.
Any music style I love except for stuff from about 1995 an on.
Music started sucking when the "boy band" area started N'sync, backstreet boys 98 degrees, thoise kinda guys
and then came the 2000 and on rap music, destroyed the good solid rhythms that originated it and replaced it with filthy language and vulgarity of drugs and sex.
Then we get to todays hit artists...... Teenager boys with high crappy voices (Beiber) and then theres gaga and lets face it nobody knows what it is.
Yes music has gone down hill, and I hate the fact that every one seems to sound the same anymore, mainstream music at least
