I will also add that is does not translate to good pep/marching/concert band music.

We used to play Chicago/EWF/ and all other kinds of music for pep and marching band. Horns make a song.

Today-it is just. thump thump boom boom thump. The music teachers in my school are having a hell of a time finding music the kids are interested in playing. Kids want something from today--well-it does not work well. The Admin told the teachers to make the class more 'sexy'. yes. You heard it.

Justin Timberlake does not turn into a good pep band song when a band is 12 players.

The fact is, much of new music, as has been mentioned, all sounds the same.

I'm of the age now that I am out of touch mainly with new songs and I don't even know how I would find new music. It isn't even a rap thing because I like rap, even somewhat newer rap like Logic and Joyner Lucas - ok not too new - but not much older than Kendrick's older stuff.

This is a pretty accurate take. However, I think Scho’s point (and I certainly agree if this is his take) is that a lot of new music just sucks. It’s not the dance moves or the messages being portrayed, it’s just not good music. But white middle aged guy is probably not the target demographic for most of these artists so they care **** all about my opinion. Hell, the last “new” band I got into was The Killers and they’re what, 20 years old as a band?
