No music isn't what you want it to be.
MUSIC is created by musicians who can actually sing and play musical instruments.
EDM is total bullshit.
Did you see Beyonce's "Lemonade" on HBO? It is MUSIC with guitars, bass, drums actually playing. Not just a bunch of samples. And the album is a concept album...the accompanying video to the entire album is also a work of artistic merit.
EDM? A DJ pushing "play" on his laptop from his "mixes" of other people's actual musical work.
Sorry, I don't buy that.
But as for actual MUSICIANS and SINGERS of our modern era? Hell yeah I listen to them and appreciate what they do.
I was one of the first people in a GFY thread to say that Lady GaGa is the real deal.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good of a guitarist Keith Urban is.
Adele is a monster talent.
Miranda Lambert kicks ass as a songwriter, singer, and just overall bad ass vibe.
Bruno Mars is a hell of a talent and so is TheWeeknd
Gary Clark is a helluva blues player.
I have zero respect for DJ's calling themselves "musicians". That has nothing to do with "modern" times.
I would have said the same thing in 1950 and the same thing 100 years from now.
