I can't really speak for anyone but myself, but I
think you missed the point. It's not that "old music
is better" - not at all. This isn't another "I'm
losing interest in new IDM" thread.
This, for me, is about how I choose to listen to
music, and about dealing with the sheer quantity of
stuff I find available. It's not like there's
suddenly a glut of music, although due to electronics
there's probably more than there used to be.
It's more about the fact that there has always been an
ocean of music out there, but when I was a teenager I
just wasn't aware of more than my little inlet. I
played there and got to know the waters quite
intimately. Then I began to discover that the water
just kept on going, and I felt that I needed to swim
through everything, as if it all deserved my
attention.
Basically, it's not that the quality of music is going
down, it's that I am just not personally as satisfied
simply being familiar with a large quantity of music
as I am intimately knowing a smaller quantity of
music.
That's all.
-Adam
