I don't get it, are you saying that those songs are awesomely fluffy or what?

You know what was great and didn't stick around long enough: Pop-punk. I love this ****. Not really the pop over punk groups, but the rock bands with a little harder, more raw edge.
I love the **** out of things like The Atari's, Thursday, and Billy Talent (even MCR's Desolation Row was phenomenal). It got all banged up when the emo kids had their **** hijacked by the guys taking a drag off of the Queen cigar, but for the most part it was an all too short-lived genre. Who knows, maybe it will produce better now that its back in the shadows.

Mainstream music was great back in the 70s and 80s. There is still awesome music being made today, but in my opinion, 99% of it is either underground or is only popular in Europe, Canada, and Asia. Living in America sucks. =(

I believe music back then was just as good then as it is now. I'm not like some who totally dismisses the past, or totally don't like anything about Rock in it's entirety - both are something I don't understand. So I think that should be a plus. But to say was music so much better then now, I would that is true for everything except Indie and Alternative Rock. Alternative Rock now is just as good, (sometimes better, sometime worse) then RnR in the 50's to post-Grunge in the 90's and all the countless sub-genres in between. Where I reminisce of the past is with Country and R&B. R&B drastically changed, it's much different today then say in the beginning like when the Ink Spots first started. Modern Country is vastly different then say when it was called "Country and Western" and play at the Grand Ol' Opry. When it comes to other genres like R&B and Country what I like is in the past the majority of it was in the 60's and 70's. Then afterwards the artist I like are few and far between.
