From what it means and symbolises in our culture today, 'modern' music is nothing more than commercialised crap worshipped by those that cant comprehend the effort put into REAL music.
Modern music is often the work of fat greedy managers
churning out the sassy stylised crap in the hopes of increasing their bank balance. On the other hand, you could see it as a global conspiracy wherein the government is acting through the music industry to prevent bands who could deliver important social messages and revolutionary ideas from ever being successful and putting the control of the masses via the government in jeopardy. Your choice. Modern music described in the form above usually appeared after late 2006, and the only bands that dont fall into this category include bands who either started off before the 21st century and have remained successful to this day, or a few notable exceptions such as
MGMT,
Beach House, and a few other decent bands I have yet to discover. Unfortunately, the current music scene will continue to
churn out this garbage and
drown out decent bands who could bring forth a new musical revolution etcetera... so unfortunately for now, its here to stay :'(
