Music has hit an all time low. I can appreciate popular music from literally every decade over the past century except for this one.

Of course there are exceptions, but in general the music reflects the youth of today, and it isn't good news. Materialistic, shallow, entitled.

lol okay grandpa zod

i see some of the same things in the shows my daughter likes to watch that are considered kids shows. lots of over-the-top sass and disrespect. we've really started cutting back on what she's allowed to watch and trying to get her outside as much as possible. unfortunately i know that most of her friends at school have the same kind of attitudes and they are feeding off of each other....and she's only in 2nd grade.

 

but then, at least as far as music goes, the 80's had a lot of shallowness to them coming out of the disco drenched late 70s. and then they moved to a lot of emo crap in the 90s because they mostly had parents that were self-absorbed and more interested in their careers and their happiness than their kids. when those kids became parents i think they may have inherited their parents self-absorbing tendencies, but tried to overcompensate by spoiling their kids and created the shallow and entitled kids we see today.

 

i do think that there is a break in that and quite a few people are trying to go back to more what we might consider more traditional family settings or at least trying to get back to a simpler more family focused type of life. it's going to be hard because i think we've all gotten addicted to getting more and more stuff.

I think you are right. Current day is a lot like the 80s. Excess, narcissism, materialism. It was garbage music then and again now.

The good news is something new and better will come along soon and squash it.... Hopefully.

 

Ugh, I'm not sure I want to experience the digital age's answer to "grunge."

Sigh...what ever happened to dedicating years into an instrument or voice lessons?

Now all you need is a computer and a 'beat' and the masses eat it up. What a joke. It's comical to see any argument of talent in this thread.

Music is not the same as performing/acting, music has nothing to do with visual aesthetics or 'hotness'; I think many of you are confused.

Many rappers, RB, and pop music today are performers/actors/computer producers not musicians.

      Grades are in; how did Panthers do in this years draft

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      They definitely have to get better in the draft. My other big concern is whether this coaching staff has what it take to win some games.

      I thought his contract was fat to make it happen and no one really thought he would playout at least that 4th year, just a bonus year to make the numbers work while including the guaranteed money that made it happen. It could be his last contract and to me it reads as he has 2 years and then they will see what happens then at a higher then normal cost. That QB room and the owner/gm meeting room away from cameras too. Just depends on the personality types. Cousins is a old pro with a fat contract and a no trade clause. IT could blow up or be just fine this year. By next year that's when it ramps up. Cousins could get a trade done and find another spot to finish this contract. It's 35 mil dead cap to cut/trade him after year 2 and 12.5 mil dead cap after year 3. If Cousins wanted to play somewhere else then he could give that a try but either way after year 2 the team has options. If the rookie grows and is worth it at year three then even that dead cap would just be a normal QB pay outside the rookie wage scale. Looks like they may get 1 year of rookie pay advantage and then the option year if things go well for them so 3 years lost and 2 left.  They should have given a heads up to the owner, Cousins tho. They had plenty of time to say what the plan was. Cousins isn't young but it's still a trashy move when he just got there 2 months ago. That was also a rather big move considering the player and their needs. Just dumb way of doing it all IMO but I always get 'it was for a QB and you have to take shots when you see them'.
