Yeah, I agree with the last few posts. I also think the original post was more directed at pop culture and its music.

The 21st Century pop music culture is in a sad state, yes. I can't say the same for other genres.

I'm completely immersed in the jam and bluegrass scene, and my god, it's nothing but a rush of creative juices. Every concert I go to almost seems to be better than the last; the music gets better and better, and for the most part, the people around me also seem to get nicer and nicer.

It's all in what you listen to and what you like.

I'm just sorry you can't be enjoying what I find an extreme amount of joy in.

It lets me know I'm alive for god's sake. ~
