Whilst certain areas may be in decline, others certainly aren't. There are whole genres which I listen to which didn't exist 20 or 30 years ago, just like when Rock & Roll came along in the 50's, or Punk in the 70's. Music is a cyclical thing and always has been, as each generation has grown up they've bemoaned the crap music "kids" listen to "these days" because it isn't the same as what they listened to a few years previously. Then their kids grow up - lather, rinse, repeat. Whilst Grunge certainly seems to have run it's course (likewise, thankfully, 80's Stadium Rock) - there are plenty of artists doing amazing things in the various dance sub-genres (house, progressive, trance, etc), world music, Hip Hop, and crazy fusions of all of those. From my musical viewpoint it's an exciting time to be alive. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25759 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
