I'm not discussing music anyway here. All i say is some people treat music like a product, some as an artform, as way of self expression / healing.
period.

well I still like Modest Mouse. If they represent what mainstream music sounds like nowadays with 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News', then the music charts are in a lot better shape these days than they used to be.
Pitchforkmedia are elitist scumbags.
But they do recommend some good stuff sometimes. The Books and The Swords Project are my favourite finds from there.
But elitist scumbags they remain, and you should take everything they say with meteor-sized chunk of salt.

sheesh... I wasn't discussing this in an elitist manner...
.. I was simply pointing out that when Kerplunk was out by Greenday - I was 15, skateboarding... and everyone else was listening to KLF, the white room... or Boys to Men (or some of that other classic stuff)...
... and now the 'underground' of yesterday is huge... just like it always is - I'm just feeling old I guess...
... and no one answered me - do you think we'll hate our kids music?

I think the music of your early teens will always be special to you as it evokes memories and feelings you had at that time of your life.
As for hating our kids music. Well, the subject matter and attitude are harder to relate too because their culture is slightly different to ours was.
I think if you're inteested in music you can hear lots of good stuff, mainstream or otherwise.

this is the antidote.
- Blofeldt0
antidote to what?
- clerk0
to the cynicism of the mainstream music industry.

We'll only hate our kids music if we close our ears, which most of us will

The Grammys will "always" suck a little bit. Unlike the Oscars, it's very hard to cover most releases, so many great artists are overlooking. Not only by the grammys, but also radio and TV. I don't care if it's mainstream or not, just if's it's good.

any alternative to Pitchfork then ???

For the widest selection I like BBC radio
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/I don't like the idea that there's this rich vein of pure music out there that can be tapped into, and by doing so you are some how enlightened

Hmm. I don't mean to butt in without readin all the other posts - but Greenday were never "punk".
There's been no punk since the late 70's, early 80's.
They were a joke of a band when I was at School, and they still are.
- benfal990
the new word is "punk rock"
like NOFX, Bad Religion ...

Punk Rock. They can shovel it up their ass.
They don't know the meaning of the word.

"They can shovel it up their ass."
What a delightful turn of phrase
