If i was 14 and just getting into music Id feel ripped off by todays music, and Im pretty sure millions of teenagers agree with me and thats why it'll change, when it does change I think the Triviums and the Muses of this world will be the laughing stock they deserve to be, and forever doomed to the bargain basement bin.

I would say if anything there's
more musical diversity
now than ever before. Saying there are no Sly Stones or no Allman Brothers in modern music is a bit of a non-sequitur. I could turn it around and ask why there were no Duke Ellingtons or Charlie Parkers in the 70s, but what would be the point? Just because the 70s didn't produce the same kinds of good music as earlier decades doesn't mean that the 70s didn't produce great music. The same is true of comparing the 70s to the present.
