Odd Future > Your Idea Of Music

I don't know if this is going to make sense but I think it's a generation thing. Reason is because most citizens grow up to artist(s) they admire from their teen/young adult years and if they try to listen todays music, they will dislike it. For example, some one who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath at their time and if they try to listen to deadmau5 or Skrillex, then they won't listen it because they are so adapt to the music they grew up with. Teens now in the 2000's - 2010's will go through this same process and admire artists that are known in todays world.

When you mentioned about EDM staying away from actual instruments ... Well, it's not just EDM, it's ALL types of genres because technology has improved on a yearly basis and I believe that some time in the future "when I'm really old," that music is going to be played through data via MIDI. MIDI is getting really popular now and that is getting used in todays music production because it's such a easy access to all types of musical instruments and the different sounds of that instrument that's actually amazing that this data known as MIDI is available to the world. Don't get me wrong though I love the sound of live instruments played at home but I think it's just getting more advanced through out the years.

I like basically everything too, but you're missing the point of the OP's creation of this thread. He's concerned that the rise of electronic music will cause the extinction of music created with actual instruments. He's not bashing other people's tastes in music. If you actually read the OP, you'd realize this.

Couldn't of said it any better myself

How is odd future better then my idea of music? I'm not saying OFWGKTA is bad, but if your going to make a statement or even an argument could you use a little evidence?

I Agree, my parents grew up with Black Sabbath and others bands. Their still trying to adapt to today's ever-changing bands and as well as their music. I also agree That MIDI is quite amazing, and I'm fine if people would rather listen to it then say live instruments. I'm just worried though that all these MIDI Bands such as Skrillex are going to cause an extinction of yesterdays music. Like it's come to the point where artists such as skrillex are being piled into genre's that they aren't as well as being referred to as a genre.

And then there are the kids that think they're awesome for talking about how epic the music of the previous generation is. Kind of like an anti-hipster. Those people annoy me more than dubsteppers ever could.

I really hope we don't transition into MIDI for everything. I occasionally make scores for people and it really bugs me how bad MIDI instruments sound. I actually did an English ACT thing with the history of the transition of virtual instruments and it's really amazing that within only 10 years we've completely changed the way music is made. I'll admit that MIDI is one of my favorite musical inventions, but it's best that it's used in merely making sheet music.

Yeah I have to agree with the anti-hipster deal because they are people on the internet that only like music in the past because it's better whether it's rock or medal or rap. They hate any type of new music but they love the music that's older than themselves.

But the MIDI thing I don't know. Because I think that it's such a handy tool for you to write your music and I'm not just talking about making sheet music. I mean like for example, I took a intro to Pro Tools class where I was able to use the basics of Pro Tools 9 and I had to do a project where we would have to make some sort of an instrumental with one basic instrument and when I was working on my school project, I was making creative drum rhythms that were creative to me and when I finished it, I used that drum rhythm on my personal set. I thought that was such a cool way to write your own music in a different matter. I just think that MIDI is just getting started because I thought that it was invented not that long ago and I think that it will get more advance where the quality of the instruments will sound more like instruments and not like data but the making of sheet music is such a handy tool. It helped my drum instructor to print out sheet music of rock songs that I wanted to read, play, and notate.

Wow I'm really surprised with how much people have been getting involved in this thread. I honestly thought no one would post their opinions or thoughts. This is awesome, people please keep posting your thoughts as well as opinions.

YOU PEOPLE RUIN MUSIC NOT US [ you listen to someone constanty screaming down the microphone and tbh gives me a headache!

You people are sick and your a pollutant to music. Your so ignorant that you think anything that involves an actual instrument being played is "screaming into the mic". If the song doesnt go WOMPWOMPWOMPWUBWUB, then its yelling into the mic? Your wrong and dumb. There is a reason it is called classic rock/metal, because it will always be remembered for its beauty, composition, abd skill to play. There is a reason there is a rock and roll hall of fame. You say we ruin music? Thats a joke right? The bands we like play these things called instruments, which is what music is made from, have you ever head of them? Im not defending those metalcore band s that just moan and groan into the mic, that in my opinion, really isnt good. But rock and hard rock is ruining music? Your stupid. We will be remembered. You will not.

It's all about point of view. Honestly, I don't like quite a few of the bands (emphasis on bands, most of the singular people on there are cool) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I wouldn't go as far as to say they're garbage--that's just socially incorrect--but they aren't pleasing. I love Buffalo Springfield, I hate Metallica. I like Jefferson Airplane, I don't exactly love CCR. Someone who's really into classical and jazz music could say that amplified music like rock really is destroying music. I was kind of like that (my first two instruments were the piano and saxophone) until I discovered how technically amazing some metal bands like Pavor are.

I was using the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an example. Im a metal guy, so i dont like alot of the bands in the Rock and Roll Hallf of Fame either. But those bands will always be remembered for skillful playing, beautiful songwriting and composition, and their famous sound which came out of THEIR instruments using THEIR hands as the tools to make the beautiful songs.Too many of the groups today stray from that art and use technology too much. Music is slowly dying and losing its title as an art, and turning more into noise.
