I'm amused by all the folks in "my generation" (and even a bit younger) complaining about #GRAMMYs last night, specifically about the "lewd" dancing, revealing costumes, and dirty songs. When is it that we became our parents and grandparents? 1/

With the huge advances in accessibility of recording and production tech, there's probably more good music being recorded now than ever.

Oddly enough, my musical tastes have gotten broader with age. I've even started to like some rap and hip-hop that I hated 20 years ago.

Also when it comes to "no good music" availability bias might kick in. It's mostly the hits that are remembered.

Sure. And selective memory. We remember the good music and forget all the crappy music from our youth, which ALSO isn't played any more because it was crap. Music by The Beatles still gets played. Lousy hit music from the 1960s, by and large, does not.

I think as we get older and our hearing degrades, maybe we lose the ability to discern lyrics from songs we haven’t heard before, making them “unintelligible” and therefore, crap? We remember the songs of our youth, so they’re comforting and make sense.

Music was definitely better in the eighties and I can prove it. Here's my evidence. Enjoy

Whenever I complain about how overproduced and overprocessed music is today, I just remember music of the 1980s and how ridiculously overproduced and overprocessed it was and realize again that this is nothing new.

You're quite right, though haven't watched them in prob 30 yrs. But what I miss is music played on real instruments, & singer-songwriters. I realize it still exists, but so much is about the visual & not the actual music.

Me: I beg to differ Dr. Gorski. The 60s was a golden decade for wonderful, complex, progressive, and really, really deep music. Also Me: 1968. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy. The Ohio Express. Me: Never mind.

There's an astonishing range of good music out there now, and it's easier to find than ever. I'm not sure the music being produced has ever been more varied and eclectic than it is right now. Hell, one of the biggest viral bands of the past year is a Mongolian folk metal group.

Even if there had been such music 30 years ago, how would you get hold of it? Now you're likely to run across them on any number of online platforms.
