Any new sound will be quickly copied. Why should that be a reason to become jaded?

maybe jaded is the wrong word. i've just outgrown melodramatic indie pop and tired-ass indie rock

Your insinuation that Pitchfork listeners do not even like what they listen to and just do it to be cool is pretty much the height of arrogance.

Even if 'music is dead' as you stated. Is that to say you feel you've heard everything you could of years gone by?
Most of BIG moments with albums were not new albums at all. Just things I hadn't heard before.
Basically, if music was dead. I think we would still have enough of a back catalogue to keep us going for a while.

Rainard Jalen>>> It was more of a dig at the orignal poster, suggesting that maybe he needs to widen his scope of sources for new music. It that is the problem.. I don't know.

That annoys me... when people talk of music with 'good bass', it nowadays seldomly means that it actually has a well-written bassline. More just that it's loud.

Given the thread question, I'd say a thread full of contradictions and bickering was expected from the outset.

Bassline seems to be growing increasingly popular in the UK. I like to see you question the basslines used in that.

I think you misunderstood where I was coming from. My post wasn't intended to be read in the sense that I think there are no good basslines nowadays (because that's not true).

I'm just referring to some of the rubbish 'basslines' which seem to be rife nowadays... you know... the kids who just want to beef up their sound system and take their cars for a spin with the deepest bass possible. There seems to be a widening riff between 'loud' bass and well-written basslines.

I think you'll possibly see that change. I think the two will merge soon. I, personally, quite like this whole fascination with sub bass though, to be fair.
