Yeah sure they are.

Anyway re : what Zee is saying I think great music is more plentiful and easily available today than at any other point in history obviously due to the power of the internet as a platform it's just - a cliche I know - the mainstream stuff that is gack.

I don't think music is as exciting though. The thing is until very recently music was always going somewhere new. Each new decade brought new technologies and styles of music. Right now we're at a complete saturation point. Everythings been done and becoming harder to invent new ways of making music. All you can do is make it faster and in increasingly absurd subgenres.

You're not going to get the birth of rocknroll again. You're not going to get the dawn of synthesizers and explosion of electronic music again. That's all been done. We're now here in 2011 and we have everything. We have all the available genres and all the available technology. Music just lulls about now being either dreck, decent or somewhere in between.
