I've always said that listening to my iPod all the time at work, or on the way to work, or back on the way from work, or in the bathroom and or when I'm hiking causes a great of deal of impact on the people around me.

Hearing remakes of songs from the 90s. The freakin' 90s. Then realising that the hot girls over there -- the ones who look fantastic in their jeans -- believe it's an original <em>and</em> would think it's better. That makes me die a little inside, every time. Tell you what makes me feel insta-old… Hearing remakes of songs from the 90s. The freakin’ 90s.

Sadly, it seems to be getting worse - I know this sounds cliched, but when you stop coming across the stuff when you turn on the radio, the chances of the next generations growing up on the good stuff is drastically reduced. God, I feel old. I don’t think it’s necessarily about the music, but as you said, about the lyrics and the meaning.

Music used to be synonymous with story-telling, but now it's become much less that way.... Often it's a collection of disjointed and misarticulated noises or meaningless words which just sound good with the melody. ... if there's even a melody. Good music still exists, it's just that there's so much more crap to wade through in order to find it.
