All modern music is rubbish

All Modern Music Is Rubbish!

Discuss



This theory implies that all music that has been developed after the 1750’s is simply not very good. Many different types of music have been used and created after this time period, so it is hard to determine whether this music is actually ‘rubbish’ or not. In some people’s opinions, music developed before the year 1750 is considered as not the best music, but this can depend on taste and whether they have actually listened to all the different types of music in this era.
‘Modern’ music is often thought and confused to be music that has come out in the past decade and is often seen as music that does not use as much creativity nor has as much classical context as music in the classical period. But it is impossible to consider it rubbish as we can not obtain and determine whether the music of the classical period is necessarily all better than the music in the last two centuries, and plus none of us have ever lived that long to know whether it was not ‘rubbish’ or not.
Lots of great music has been developed since 1750 – think about legends of the sixties that we can remember more clearly even to this day – The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, and amazing artists such as Arthur Lee and his psychedelic band Love (if you’ve never heard of them, go buy a copy of Forever Changes, which is considered one of the best albums of all time.) Modern music cannot be ‘rubbish’ with people like this - John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix… all outstanding music artists who will never be forgotten. Yes there may be people such as Bach and Vivaldi and other artists who produced music that was not ‘modern’ and ‘rubbish’, but the musical legends we’ve had in the past 40 years are just as great as them. Therefore modern music is not ‘rubbish’. The end.
