Every generation thinks they stopped making good music after they grew up. It doesn't. Old people just don't put in the time they used to looking for music. But true fanatics keep looking.

People buy music that validates their world view. Rednecks buy country. Ganstas buy rap. Nazis buy white power metal. White guys in the suburbs buy...
