Ok so what I can think of so far:
2001 - 2010:
- emo rock for disfunctional kids
- bubble gum pop for kids
- weird r'n'b with fake singing
- indie rock (bands that usually suck so they are labeled and marketed as "indie")
Not much variety really, unless you are an audio masochist.
The other thing is that all this crap is directed towards kids and teenagers and say maybe people in their early 20's.
I can't imagine anyone sensible playing most of that, when they start to get a little bit serious about anything.
The corps have to be fucking themselves a big time, because there's a big hole in what's been offered, gotta be lots of hungry musicians around, that just won't ever accept being turned into a part of that bubble gum crap mix, and lots of listeners hungry to hear them.
Also the structure, how music is presented has changed. There are no radio or video DJ's anymore to present their picks, you get served all that crap cocktail over and over, since it's the corp that ordered it.
Also I guess 90's were the last decade when the sex drugs and rock'n'roll legacy lived.
Shit today is just boring,
no revolt
no madness
nothing to be scared of unless you're scared of boring things
Like you watch Kanye on the stage singing fake stuff - that won't change your life much I guess.
I dreamed about playing in a band, driving a 68' Mustang Fastback, being wild, getting laid a lot, watching the Hollywood sunset and be cool as Slash.
Actually played in a band for a bit, survived lots of party rampage, got a chance to enjoy a little bit of sex here and then, driving an older car I love, had a chance to watch the sun rise in Vegas, NYC, Florida, although the only Hollywood I visited so far was Hollywood FL, never realized I even more or less satisfied my teenage kicks till now, not too bad.
You see Kanye on stage and what dreams that triggers - maybe buying a new tight Armani pants that show package and buying a 40 sq feet sunglasses that will make you look cool - not a whole lot of rampage.
