  • Both! Just depends on what you like.
  • surrely it will getting better
  • worse with the exception of country.
  • depends on our choice but i find the music of the 60's and 70's much better
  • Worse. A lot worse. Weak melodies, poor singing voices, silly lyrics, no originality. That pretty much sums up what I think of today's music and the direction in which it is headed. Everytime I hear "today's music" on the radio, I am compelled to turn it off----I don't want to let it ruin my good mood.
  • Well it is the way one was conditioned to listening to great music. My generations music was totally from the Seatle sound town of Grunge, Grunge the anthem of the 1990s and then the music touched my soul they whole movement was heavy and it was mine, Generation X, so any music after the ninties was not the same and the same can be said for the Hippy Generation they could hardly relate to disco, so perhaps the people of the eighties sound were unable to give up the synthesisers and Micheal Jackson, so of course music will not always agree with your fondest memories of youth.
  • I think pop is in a downward spiral, but a lot of other things that I enjoy more seem to get better every day
  • It depends some of the music genres i used to like are getting worse and way too commercialized for my taste others are getting a lot better i guess its a matter of perspective.
  • I don't think "today's music" is any better or any worse. I do think that today's musical climate lends itself to the propagation of a lot of BAD music for the sake of sales potential. You have mega corporations in control of the industry who are more concerned with profit than putting out good music. There is still good music out there, you just need to DIG!
  • Just different.
  • Music doesn't get better or worse. It just, you know...changes. Anyone who thinks it's getting worse just grew up liking the music of their time, and have become attached to it.
  • I think the sound quality is getting better, but the styles of music today are what I can't stand, gotta love those older songs.
  • Consider modern rap compared to older music, and you will realize that music is certainly NOT evolving. Come to think of it, there never were any cavemen, though we today have plenty of kids living in parents' basements, which lends credence to my theory of modern degeneration.
  • I think music is getting worse. Most music these days is merely sound and fury signifying nothing.
  • I'd say it hasn't gotten better OR worse. There will always be new types of music and music we like and dislike. Generally we stick with music we grew up listening. I listen to a lot of 70s and 80 music although I listen to newer stuff.
  • The music is getting better but the music videos are full of drug addicts and sluts
  • It is evolving. The generation of the times dictate what is good music and in a couple of decades from now, current music will be the golden oldies while the oldies will become the classics.
  • worse all thay do now is swear and talk about sex or killing some one. rap has went way down the hill
  • It has gotten worst. Infact what people call music now is nothing but noice. The Very Best music was from the 1940-1965.
  • Music is what you make of it. Most music is sufficiently complex as to confuse some of its disinterested listeners -- whether classical, pop, jazz, rock, soul, hip-hop, etc. Every generation for the past century has decried the "noise" that their children considered to be musical. Good music persists and has a life of its own, whether written or performed by Chopin, Eric Clapton, Beethoven, Lennon & McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Dave Brubeck, Henry Mancini, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder ... you name the artist. The "good" will become timeless and the "bad" will just fade away into obscurity for the garbage that it must have been. ;-)
