Most music coming out nowadays is crap and requires no real talent. I'm a fan of 80's and older metal primarily, where it required a gift to actually play the guitar well and make music sound good. Today it's all generic "mass-marketed" music designed to appeal to as many people as possible without actually meaning anything or being original (see: Linkin Park). That's not to say that the music overall "sounds bad", it just means that it's generic, like the Hollywood Blockbuster movie that comes out every summer. It's simply a "feel-good" movie with nothing meaningful behind it.
The problem is that the "good" new music that comes out is very few and far between. I'm sure that in the future, music will break out and become good again, but untill the RIAA is abolished or at least reduced in power, "their" music will continue to dominate the mass market, and overall ruin what should be driven by artists, not money.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
