I dunno why but I fail to see anything interesting in contemporary music. Maybe its because:1. There are just too many artists to listen to.2. Genres have evolved radically to coalesces with other genres and then split again to form new different friggin genres.3. The "new" and "emerging" artists aren't dead yet. I know this would be a bummer for concert ticket sales but...I like listening to dead people. No media spins, no Michael Jackson - esque humiliations, they played, they died, they got famous.4. I've been dedicating way too much time on old shit. Incidentally, I just love them to death. 5. Well even if some of the artists I've been listening to aren't dead (yet) they've been around for a considerable amount of time to qualify them as original or track-worthy.6. Maybe I'm just too much of a grouch to appreciate the offspring of rock. Don't get me started about rap.That being said, I don't HATE new artists per se, I just dont find that inquisitiveness to browse more of their songs when I'm listening to them. And now here I have (up to an extent) exhausted my limited supplies of music from my favourite artists, and don't know which direction to go. Offcourse these artists have a high replay value time and again but you know the law of diminishing marginal returns act on EVERYTHING. It's good to hear something that you liked but haven't heard in a considerable elapse of time. But something that plays in the radio 5 times a day every friggin day of the week makes you want to kill something. or someone. I guess the point of my note is.. there isn't actually any point at all. I'm just a bit flustered up that I've subscribed to Rhapsody all access and my choice in music kinda limits my choices.Well have a good day. I hope the Ramones make me feel better.Ta Ta!

I know this post is a little old, but I saw your soundgarden picture, so I had to stop on by. I think you made some really good points in your post. Already at 22, I find myself so very disconnected with what's out there today. It just doesn't interest me. As time goes on, I tend to go backwards down the timeline of music. Kinda strange...
