All the new music I hear of comes from my really music savey friend, and he's very much anti-mtv and barely listens to the radio at all, he listens to a lot of different rock bands, and introduced me to ATDI and The Mars Volta. The problem with new music is I see very little creativity, sure every band is something new/different and everything sounds better because of advancements in technology, but nothing seems to stand out to me. I'm not the kind of person that wants to stand out because of preference in music, I just like listening to artistic music, something that shows talent, hard work, and real thought and emotion being put into it. I know what most [american] young people like these days, girls love pop like britney spears and ashleeeee simpson, boys like linkin' park, 50cent and similar bullshit (note I said MOST, not all, which is true). I really try not to shit on other people's interests as long as they don't shit on what I like, so it makes little difference to me what OTHER people listen to.
