Music nowadays....

Over the years music has changed, from the time of elvis to the damn dirty hippies, to Micheal Jackson, to hip/hop. But if you notice that nowadays music styles have changed, there isn't one dominating kind of style anymore. It's more like there are factions of styles ranging from emo rock to gang wannabe's. And beyond all this for me Music is awesome, especially when your kicking ass on Halo to Funeral for a Friend tune. 
 
What I'm saying is what's your favirote style of music and your favirote band?
 
Rock, favirote band: Smile Empty Soul.

yes, music has changed through out the years. now in days it's kind of all computerized to make music. more and more people are listening to hip hop and rap. i still listen to metal and rock all the time.

I disagree about there not being a dominating style. The majority of the population seems to listen to crappy hip hop and rap and lame R&B where the "singer" has to computerize their voice so it sounds better. I listen to rock

Yeah, most songs have weird robot voices or echo things or the clearly can't sing what so ever and they just fake it.

I'm really into Van Halen. Oh, new music? Most rock seems pretty indistinguishable from one another to me nowadays. That new Franz Ferdinand album was pretty good...

I was almost certain this post would be condemning modern music, but I was thankfully proven wrong. 
 
I feel like the dominating genre today is hip-hop. It seems like that genre dominates most of the different charts.

I listen to a lot of A Tribe Called Quest.  Rap today just isnt as good as it was in the 90's and late 80's

Hip-Hop is pretty much dominating music right now.

i disagree its just main stream rap which has become really crappy but there are still really good rappers that don't auto tune

" what's your favirote style of music "

All of this autotune stuff was just a trend started by Cher. It was never intended to manipulate a voice to that extent. Originally, autotune was being used by a myriad of artists just in an attempt to keep in tune to the music. It just got a bit out of hand. With that said, hip-hop is by no means a crap genre. There are just so many garbage artists mucking it up that people can't find the really great songs. Rock is my favorite general genre and it sounds better because the songs are more varied than hip-hop where nearly every popular song seems to have the same rehashed drum loop and synths. Getting more specific, I might say that I prefer metal to most other sub-genres.

^ Misused "myriad".
 
Also, we have way too many favorite artist/genre of music threads lately as Bruce noted.

I listen to a bunch of genre's. But if i were to limit it down to one i would say that i mostly listen to punk (90's punk if you want to be a douche about it). My favorite band almost constantly changes depending on my mood and what new music im discovering. So im not going to list it.

   "Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. "- M-W.com
 
Ehhh, I guess I'll just say Rock. My favorite band being Melvins.

I enjoy pretty much any style that's not country (with the exception for Taylor Swift), and whatever sounds good I'll listen to. I do tend to lean towards R&B though.

Mainstream music these days is just garbage that kids think is super amazing. There I said it!

Well don't I look like a douche?  It still sounds better as an adjective.

" Mainstream music these days is just garbage that kids think is super amazing. There I said it! "

anyone using auto-tuning doesn't deserve a pay-check.  
 
i agree the most popular music is garbage though.  
 
i mean, look what happened to country music these days. its basically crappy pop that a person sings with a southern accent and theres a fiddle in the background.
