Carlos you have very valid points, which I agree almost 100%, but I'm not sure if they're right. I mean, me and my wife were musicians and usually talk about that, and we always wonder if MAYBE it's just that we're kinda old for juvenile stuff and we can't get it.
for example, Mike mentions NIN and Jane's Addiction, 2 bands that I love, but we gotta admit they're quite old. Question is: are they THAT better to what there is right now or it's just that we grow with them hence our taste has evolved the same way? One of the things is that I've heard some really good stuff, but I don't see any young artists doing it, so maybe it's just that we got stuck in another time/decade. (btw, I don't agree with you with 96/00 question mark, there was some amazing stuff those years, mainly from electronic bands breaking the molds, the stoner scene, the "alterlatino" scene and so on).
On the other hand, my older daughter is 15yo and she listen basically the same as me and my wife, which would be the confirmation of your point, but at the same time I remember myself being a big fan of 60s and 70s music in the 80s, where everything looked to me like crap. ANd now I love a lot of 80s music, even a lot of stuff I hated at that time.
So again, not sure. From a very subjective point of view, I'd say you're almost 100% correct, but at the same time I resist to believe it. I can't imagine a world where the only thing you'll hear is Christina Aguileras, Britneys, Lil Waynes and horrendous crap like that (and I'm a fan of hip hop, just not nowaday's crap)
