I am currently listening to a Thelonious Monk playlist and I am thinking to myself. I’m wondering why people of my generation or younger for the most part think me or anyone else who listens to jazz or classical or anything not currently popular is weird. How have things gotten to a point that when I go to type Thelonious monk on youtube when I type “thel” the lonely island is a recommended result first? I have come across this sort of thing many times and wondered how these new acts, which I deem horrible, are more popular than acts that have been well known for decades. I declare the 2010′s the decade of musical regression, and I mean regressing in the sense of music that should be intended for children. I wouldn’t say just musical regression either, it is much broader than just music. People are now finding entertainment in people getting hurt. To me this seems like what should amuse a child and concern an adult. All in all I just hope that someday soon people will wise up and start listening to good music and if possible legitimate sources of entertainment fit for intellectual viewing.
