Sad but true

They just can't handle the sheer skill used in making it, nowadays they don't even use instruments, just synth

Yeah, they just use pre-made stuff on computers and that's why it all sounds the same
I mean, I listen to The Story of a Young Heart, by A Flock of Seagulls, or even a Duran Duran album, and I just think about all the time and effort put into it to make it sound good, and make it touch your heart and make you actually relate to it, then I hear the stuff that's played in stores and restaurants and I think "Why?"
I wish I'd gotten to live back in the '80s

Real

I have now advanced to new levels of life, and now think that music is just music, and you can listen to anything you want.

i listen to like 50s so i get it

Oh, boy...
