why haven't I heard of it then
you think that this exciting new music would be talked about but all I know is that is exciting
I don't know what genre it is, who made it, how much of it there is, and that's disregarding the fact that I may not like it
by all means if you want to show me some of this then go ahead
but the fact that I haven't heard of it until now is indicative that music has gone downhill, because when pop got bad back then you knew about all the alternatives
the fact that you haven't heard any new good music recently says more that you're not looking for, or not receptive to new good music, rather than there's none of it being made. I mean.. come on. Show you any new good music made in the last 15 years? Even if i gave you a list of 1000 good songs it wouldn't change your mind.
Also, i disagree about the latter statement, because i don't think you were alive back in this time you're speaking of, because if you were, you'd realize that pop music was far more inescapable back then. There was the radio, CD stores, and like... MTV. That's how you discovered music, unless you had your finger on the pulse. I haven't heard a single pop song i didn't want to hear in the last 5 years, whereas when i was a kid, i'd hear them every day on loop.
