Today's Mainstream Music v. Classic Music

[snozola]

Why would people have opinions if they believed they weren't right or wrong?  Where is the logic there?

An opinion can be contrasted with other opinions and can be proved wrong or right.  It depends on the subject and context.

No, he's right. Opinions can't be right or wrong.
They can be stupid, though.

The key word above is 'believed'. An opinion relies on what you believe about something, not whether or not it's true or false. If it relied on being true or false, it would be a fact.

Can we get back to music? We have derailed here quite a bit.

Opinions can be turned into facts if given enough research and actually proven.

Yes, it is an opinion until it is proven, then it is no longer an opinion and it has become a fact.

completely agree with the part about not being able to pick up a guitar and play like a god as i have had the same experience and can only just play a small amount of deep purple's smoke on the water.

So what is this topic about now? Did we already establish sucky mainstream music always and will always exist?

Did we already establish sucky mainstream music always and will always exist?

Mainstream music in the 60s and 70s (classic rock and disco) wasn't bad in my opinion. I don't like too much of disco, bit it is better than today's mainstream music.

And yes, I guess we have established that today's mainstream music is bad.

I think it's ok. There are a couple disco songs that I like, though, like Stayin' Alive and Night Fever.

[Cybersix]

No. Just no.
It's like the dubstep of the 70s.

It is actually stuff though. It's just like all this pre-fabricated pop/edm stuff we have nowadays.
