okay so for context, i’m only 18 years old and i’ve always thought older rock bands are a lot better than newer rock bands. when i listen to a newer band (2000s - present) i feel like they’re just boring and bland. when you listen to older bands like led zeppelin, pink floyd, black sabbath. they were all so good and so popular because they were doing something that nobody else had done at the time. when i hear a song from a modern rock band i feel like ive heard it all before. in the 60s it was soft rock bands like the beatles and the beach boys, 70s was hard rock and heavy metal, 80s was glam rock, 90s was grunge and then it just felt like no new material was coming out. am i hearing something other people arent? do i need to be more open minded to new music or do other people agree?
