The good news is that great music and books never die and can be enjoyed for years to come. Besides, there is still some good music being created. Suede, New Order, Paul Weller etc are still making great music. They won't live forever but neither will we.This thread is yet more evidence that music is truly dead and buried. I cannot for the life of me get how people in 2017 can discuss music at all. That thing called music is over and was replaced by what some call music but it is of course not music. You can instead call them items of commerce.
It is used to sell and promote various commercial products but also lifestyle items and values. Hooky and JD and NO are dead without knowing it but at the graveyard they have a lot of friends.
The era when music meant something was a nice time to live and I feel so sorry for the kids these days struggling to make any sense of the time they live in. Now is not the time to be a kid and focus on childish things like music and concerts. The time we live in is all about becoming someone and copy your parents as much as you can.
There is no alternative lifestyle for the losers who cannot make it and I am glad I am not in that competition but it sure is fun to watch the competitors weep on their way home as they move like zombies through the store to buy something to eat before it is time to weep again so that they can finally fall asleep again.
What does that mean?
Is it shorthand for ditto? But it can't be, there are the same amount of characters! It must be something American.
And it's a very short post anyway Scanty, for you.
I hope you are okay?!
What the f*** are you going on about? Have you ever heard of a band called The National, musics not dead, perhaps you are and don't realise it?
I think when people say 'music is dead' they are thinking of bands like The National.
The National?? The National???
Thats your ace in the hole? The National blows chunks.
.Don't you mean, in your opinion? So who do you rate?
Wonder if our parents said the same thing?.
Most modern music is dismissible at best.
In the 'rock pop alternative indie' genre there's not much out there to rate, which may be why people who like that genre of music like these bands, not much choice. In 2017 there's not much choice if one has raised their ear on music of a bygone era. But I'm always looking, I hear bits of things that I like about some of the music being made now, but not the artists whole output, just little flashes of interesting things that don't hold my interest for very long. I have more hope in
some hip hop and the experimental music being made these days, where people are going out of their way to bring something new to the table, troublemakers basically.

.Generally, Morrissey speaks English and the words he uses can be found in a dictionary but for this one aspect of his life he uses a word that he has invented. Of course all language is an invention but he didn't invent his own language. It's not like he speaks a dialect of Klingon. So, no, I don't take this word seriously.
And I wouldn't care if he hadn't, how does Brummie Boy say it... "co-opted queer culture for commercial purposes" (Forgive me BB, I might not have the quote exactly correct),
*Tear you apartHearing the Huddersfield fans sing "Ince will year you apart" today as he was subbed late on was very heart warming and tells you a lot about what a great impact the music of JD still has compared to the current music no one cares about.
Mike Joyce?
probably, though the big difference here is that I'm still searching and create music of my own, which is why I don't have a great need to look to others for my happiness.
Is there any way you could be more of a smart arse?Is there anywhere we can hear this music of yours? Soundcloud maybe??
I've literally never heard you say anything good about another artist or band apart from Morrissey, so I'm assuming your own music must be fantastic....no?
that's funny, ketamine_suns posts read like a compendium of what's good out there. i think you mean she never says anything good about artists who've f***ed over morrissey, which is much a different thing than never saying anything good about artists--other than morrissey--in general.Is there anywhere we can hear this music of yours? Soundcloud maybe??
