Anyone recall when Greenday was Punk, when Modest Mouse was Indie and when Gwen Stefani used to be a sexy little ska-punker... not some blonde hip-hop queen singing about her material posessions?
... I guess this is just my generation moving forward in the 'classic' age.... I can't wait to hear what music is like in 20 years... do you think we'll complain about our children's music?

yes, its called selling out. Money has an effect on people...

It was odd, when Bono said it was the best Grammy (line up ?) ever.
I thought it was the weakest line up in a long time, but then again, I don't care mucgh for the Grammys anymore.I hate when they have actors as presenters, it's a music show, get musicians to do it!
There are a shit lot of great artists, but it's the same olds artists year after year.
How many times do we have to see J. Brown do his old moves.It was fine, that they wanted to donate $ to the tsunami victims, but how about donating some $ to music programs in schools.

all I'm saying is 'remember when'...
... I remeber when kerplunk from Greenday was played when I was 15 - skating my neighbors ramp...
... i'm going to be 29 in a few months...
... haven't watched Mtv for more than 1 or 2 minutes at a time in about 7 years... ever since Sifle and Olly went off the air. :(

It seems to me that punk has become a very "i'm a rich white angry american kid" thing. Whats that all about.

Is this really a "Things were better when I was younger" thread? I don't believe it

--------------------------------So true. If you want to discover new things, bookmark the website http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/ and you'll discover some very original no-commercial music.
I recently discovered the band The Fiery Furnaces because of them, and its one of the best thing i've heard in a long time. That and many others.
To discover original and non-commercial music, you have to work a little bit... you have to go to the music because the music will not come to you. (its not commercial... ya' know)

some of us remember real punk and when Madness was ska.
nostalgy sucks.

mwahahahhaaaa.... yeah! we don't want musicians that make money now do we? we rather have poor starving ones so we can say they are underground and their coolness shines off on us. either way we'll download their stuff for free anyways.

thats a nice resume of the situation

I think it's rubbish to say 'real' music anyway. What the hell does that mean?
Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's no good.
