And prog scene.

Also i think there are a lot of good britpop bands as of late.

thats the whole philosophy of prog bands- innovation. that goes without saying.
yeah to me the brit-pop scene is starting to flourish again, went through a huge slump in the late 90s early 00's.

So should we assume he's talking mainstream or altogether?

MUSIC is not dead, its just 99% of mainstream music is nostalgic recycled crap. notice how if theres one band that comes into the mainstream with a fresh sound, sooner or later theres a few thousand of them that just sound the same? ex. the entire seattle grunge scene in the early 90s (although i like grunge), or green day followed by blink followed by NFG etc... or creed, followed by nickelback followed by default followed by a bunch of other muffled bastards droning generic lyrics over an all too familiar song. as many people have said, most corporate radio stations and record labels simply use this years "hot button" to make as much money as they can, until theres another trend, then again they latch on. my advice is to just dig deep to find something original that makes you shake. so no, i dont beleive music is dead, and i dont think it will ever die, as long as theres a kid with an open mind, something to say and an instrument to speak through, there will be passion and originality in music.

Music is getting worse....the people who like the older stuff are just getting older and aren't liking the newer stuff.

Did that make sense?

It doesn't explain how music is getting worse.

My whole point is...it's not getting worse, the style is just changing.

I've said this before:

Music has changed
Everything Changes
live with it
