MUSIC REQUIRES LESS SKILL for every passing generation! (WHY OLD HEADS ALWAYS HATIN)

[Imlinkin]

First off, let me say that you have some valid points sir

Secondly, let me go on record as saying that the generation just before mine shyts on the best artists, producers and writers from MY era. Naw I dont think R. Kelly is fuccin with MJ, Prince or Marvin Gaye, nor do I think that Kanye, Puffy, RZA or Just Blaze are fuccin with Quincy Jones or even Gamble & Huff in my opinion.



Youngins obviously feel different, that Chance the Rapper, Odd Future & young thug are out here breaking new groundn shyt running laps around old head 90s nikkas with their boring azz raps and structured rhyme schemes...so be it....

I agree that the tech advancements make some skills obselete as I admitted in an earlier post.

Also, these talented rappers that you speak of on youtube, please share a link. Id like to be wrong about the drop off

#6 is your realest point. People do prefer trash over substance.

You are lying...like any profession in life...

(1) In the beginning of something new, there is interest in just the art form itself...People don't really know what they are doing but whatever they are doing sounds/looks good, and they are rocking with it...

(2) Then you reach a point were fundamental rules are established and there is some form of consensus of how the art form should look/sound like...So, artists are able to perfect the skill and expand on it to the maximum...That;s when you get the peak...When the artistry is at a high level and the skill is at a high level...

(3) Then you reach a point were the art form gets SATURATED with skill...Almost everybody and their grandma learns the skill and they start to make it look "easy"...At this point, the consumers get bored with the skill, and they want something "fresh" regardless of skill...

(4) Then something new comes along, and the consumers gravitate to it even if it requires less skill than its predecessor...

(5) But that doesn't mean that contemporary artists are not as skilled as their predecessors...They just need a different skill set to make contemporary music, and this may not require older skills...

(6) There are thousands of SUPER SKILLED technically GIFTED musicians on Youtube, but people want Future and Fetty Wap....It is like saying "there is no longer fresh fruits and vegetables" because the consumers today prefer to run to McDonald and get a quick burger, rather than spend time preparing their own fresh food...

Some skills get lost as new ones are acquired...
