| Re: New Generation of Listeners For my next comment, I'm going to be beaten up for, but here it goes.
Everybody on here is saying that new music of today sucks. In saying this, I am mainly referring to "boy bands" and the Britney Spears-type music. The fact is, that the reason this stuff is being done is that people like it. They do it because it is what is going to sell records. Maybe it is not the musicians who can't do anything "meaningful", but is the listeners that don't care that it is not meaningful. We say that Pink Floyd is real music, but that is because we enjoy it very much and it has become apart of our being. Maybe, the same thing happens to other people in another type of music.
Even Roger doesn't believe that other types of music is bad just because he doesn't like it. He has said that he once thought that people don't like good music, but has changed his thoughts on that now. Maybe, it is us that don't like good music.
Or maybe, no music is better then any other, it is just a matter of personal taste. Whatever is out there, anyone can take or leave.
There. Phew.
