Sexy cyborg lives in Shengen China ????

I know. That makes it obviously not likely that she is in the Maid Cafe. So I have a reason to try again and again. ???? 

And just in case she is there then I am happy to buy her a milk shake or something like that.

Don't get too close her tits might explode one day

You ignore Country which is huge in the States, probably as many are turned off by what passes for music on mainstream channels. I only listen to the channel that is restricted to 50s, 60s and 70s music.

The fun songs eg Ray Stevens offerings, have completely vanished, along with consideration, dancing and romance.

Well we can all find a little niche of commercial popular music that seems more attractive to us, personally I could listen to Alison Krauss all day, but there is no way around the fact that music is in terminal decline.

 

Many rappers like R Kelly, Jay Z or Lil Wayne would not even write down their compositions, they just make it up on the fly and record. Then you basically have manufactured porn which most female music is now or starts out as, from Lady Gaga to Cardi B to Madonna, they all start out selling their porn before they try to pretend to be serious artistes. Well not Cardi B so much, she prefers serious political analysis.

 

There's a thousand commercial niches that appeal to any and every listener, Scandinavians seem to have an affinity for Heavy metal, in Germany it's hip hop and electronic music, Britain likes it boy bands and Albanian bubble gum pop, Spain bizarrely likes rockabilly and vanilla pop, Koreans and Japanese like little girl groups, there's something for everyone. And the common link is that it's all basically musically worthless. We can't even appreciate real music anymore.

Bit judgemental IMHO.

If Mozart was alive today, he'd probably be writing rap.

One of the things I notice about most elderly white guys, their musical taste is mainly stranded in the 70s.

But I've managed to move with the times and find large amounts of modern worthwhile (for me) music to listen to from around the world, in many different languages. At the moment my preferences lean towards Spanish and Thai artists.

We are all different regarding music tastes, no matter what your age. If I have to listen to Rap, or techno stuff I usually walk away, does nothing for me what so ever.

 

At times I also like classical organ music, doesn't mean I am 300 years old....????

Well, I'd definitely go for country sung by Japanese girl groups.

 

Disagree 100% that music I like is worthless. If it's enjoyable it is definitely of worth.

My taste extends beyond the 70s to such as Enya, Chris De burgh, Chris Rea, etc, but they just aren't played now on the radio that I've heard. I'll play them from my CD collection, and if I want to listen to the radio it's  only a channel that doesn't play rap, hip hop, heavy metal etc.

My problem is that there is just too much music of so many types that I don't listen to a lot of stuff I like. Even classical music is enjoyable in the right setting.

When I was young I loved bagpipes music, but haven't played any for decades as new songs come crowding in.

Yes, it is judgemental, of course.

 

And if you take a bigger time arc in fact modern music is regressing, it is going backwards. Back to when rhythm was the primal factor, not melody. Like when stone age musicians made music by knocking stones together, the primacy of rhythm. We then moved beyond that with human singing. Opera was surpassed by classical music when musicians were able to write music that could surpass the human voice in melodic complexity. 

 

But with Jazz you go right back to the primacy of rhythm, since Jazz and Rock n' Roll, are defined by a simple rhythmic type, and the reduction of music to a common denominator through technical means which involved 12 year old adolescent girls in judging music you ended up with Elvis, 60s, 70s, and now the boy bands, and porn "music".

 

Modern times are a regression. And the more modern the more regression. What is rap if not the end of music itself, talking. Rap musicians do not even write down their compositions, see Jay Z, R Kelly and Lil' Wayne. They just make it up on the fly and get recorded. That's how worthless it is.

 

When I say "worthless" I mean musically worthless, ie musically simple. You may like Gold digger from Kanye West, but musically it is worthless. Not saying you do, just making a point about the quality of modern music.

I don't agree, old men get fixated in the past.

Modern music isn't worse, or better, it's just different to the musical time period your ossified mind has locked you into.

No, that's where you are wrong. Modern music is considerably worse, less musically complex and demanding.

 

To put a rap, modern Spanish or modern Thai composition next to a symphony by Beethoven would quickly show how much simpler, and less musically demanding the former are.

 

Classical music symphonies are musically the maximum worth the human mind was able to attain, whereas with modern rap, Spanish or Thai or any country's modern pop music, musically those works are much worse, and in part entirely worthless.

To dark and too many lights flashing, cannot really see the girls and they are wearing way too many clothes 

[Logosone]

Modern music can titillate and excite the tired modern senses.

 

It can not claim the same musical worth as classical symphonies. Most modern music is, musically, worthless. It only serves as excitement of the sense at best.
