Scratch

I will agree with you on one thing though: some bands I like/liked have had a decrease in quality over the years.

Bon Jovi, Mumford And Sons, They Might Be Giants, Ect. Are Good

Bon Jovi is still around?!?!     

@PlutoIsHades and Dinoclor: Come on in.    *starts playing Bon Jovi music from the 80s*

*switches music to Bob Dylan songs*

one good song makes someone the savior of modern music?

Music isn't dead, it's being slowly fed to an overhyped hip hop monster.
There are still good bands out there.

I still like Owl City's dream-like music. It's soothing, and it has kind of a pretty sound about it. I also love the way that Adam fits so many lyrics into one song. I can't stand 'rap' or 'hip-hop' kind of stuff, though.

It's the lame songwriters. I usually only listen to bands that write their own songs. :l

Justin Bieber CAN sing, he just has awful songs. >.>

This.
Maybe if he lost the auto-tune and waited 'till his voice was a bit deeper.
His voice is girly :L


But, yeah, I completely agree with you. Modern music is terrible, but if the old bands stuck around, eventually, they wouldn't be as good.
Of course, Radiohead still rocks.

Yes, this

And the fact that the music industry is not dead. It's as alive as ever.

You are comparing the underdog hits of the 70's-90's to the mainstream music of this century.

It's like comparing Pearl Jam to Hanson, the mainstream music always sucked. They don't play the good stuff on the radio.

I agree; I hate most mainstream music.  Here, MCR is almost NEVER played on the radio.  Some of my friends remember when MCR and 30 Seconds to Mars used to be played on the radio the odd time, and we sing songs in the corridors like "The Fantasy" and "Teenagers".  One mainstream band I love is Snow Patrol C: Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Mindless Self Indulgence, Flyleaf, Skillet, Red; all UNKNOWN here D:<

MCR were on Radio One at midnight the other day XD

But yep. It's the song choices.
JB has a goo voice, Cher Lloyd has a good voice.
Obviously when 'Swagger Jagger' was written, Cher's songwriters ate alphabet spaghetti and pooed out the lyrics |:

I wish I wasn't stuck listening to [I better not say lol xD] or SPIN1038.  But guess what?  I am >.<

No, most of them are about as mainstream as you can get.

Most of them are, like I said, NOT mainstream here.  All we have on the radio is pretty terrible.

Read what I highlighted again.  In the U.S., they may be popular, in Ireland, nope.

Do you have any kind of modern rock station? Except for Mindless Self Indulgence, those bands get played all the time.

There is some station that plays only rock... but mostly 80s rock, some Coldplay and Nickelback. I like listening to it the odd time.  Other than that, no.

Oh, okay.
