RIP Music

What happened to the music industry? Why haven't any guitar hero's risen up to rock our socks off? It seems like every piece of new music that's coming out is a reprise of some other band that's not even 3 years old. Singers with voices that sound like a cartoon character suffocating. Power chords constantly with no interesting guitar licks. Drums with the same fills over and over and over, it's ridiculous. I understand the difficulty of writing a new song that has an interesting sound and makes sense, having written quite a few myself. When was the last time you heard a song that became so huge it was listened to for multiple years? Do you really think Britney Spears and Green Day are going to become timeless like Journey or Zeppelin? Come back to me in 20 years and sing a Spears song. Heck, in 20 years you could possibly still sing me a Led Zep song! My theory is that every 100 or so years music begins thriving again. Guitar hero's will rise up and songs will be written with such genious that they become immortal in a lack of a better word. This will hopefully happen around 2055. Till then, man will forget about rock n roll show and all that jive. For now, music is dead, waiting for its day to be resurrected.
