Today i was told that i know nothing about good music because the last ten years of music are garbage since the increasing presence of digitized music. I was just too young and "didn't know any better". I thought this to be kind of mean because its not like ive never heard any music made prior to 1990. I do appreciate the craft of real music and do wish todays music was more artistry than technical. Its not my fault i was born with the internet and that i am almost always infront of my computer. I do feel like today's internet age has really disconnected individuals from the real physical and emotional relationships that human kinda relies on for personal evolution. We are taking for granted the skills we learn such as charisma, and interpreting others when conversing in person. Similarly we can say that when it comes to music we've lost the ability to see the beauty that come from artists making mistakes on guitar and working through them, the emotions invested into artists who sit and write each note and feel the beat in their heart the rhythm in their bones.
I do think its also ironic that even though we are of a computer generation all the older generations want to try ipods and internet and chat etc. Maybe in 30 years everyone will talk about something great that came from our generation as well, however i dont know what that would be. Lately im in a search for something, never feelings like myself or knowing who i really am, sometimes i often feel much older than i actually am. So maybe.... my withdrawal from social media, listening to older music, getting involved in creative arts is my way of trying to connect with the things that my generation is missing.
