You said it all. I dislike Hiphop and Rap but those are the genres that are getting all the "awards from the music industry." No generation was generally in love with heir kids music. The whole idea is to "rebel" against the generation previous and that means dressing and listening to music that is not only different but despised.
That's life. Few are making a living writing and performing symphonies. Many are writing and performing songs using prerecorded loops
and arrangements. It's all good to someone or millions of someones whether I like it or not.
Most working musicians making their living here in Myrtle Beach by a HUGE margin are over 45 because the clientèle who visits wants to hear the music of their peer group.
