I have been thinking about music lately, and i find it pretty remarkable on how much music has evolved in the past century.
In the 1900's, jazz was on the rise, and all the wind instruments were the favorites of the public. then soon, vocals came in, and the tempo and rhythm changes, then the 1960's came in, and that is where all the real changes came in. Michael jackson doing his moonwalks and Elvis doing his thing with his pelvis. Then the 1980's came in with it's electronic variations and disco themed songs. 2000's was moving towards electronics and shifted towards the modern music.
To see music and the peoples taste in music change this much is, i think, pretty unimaginable. who would have thought that we would have dubstep or house music playing, even ten years ago?
What do you guys think about it?

I personally think that Dubstep started becoming very overrating and very popular in the past 2 years. I really don't like listening to it that much. To be honest, I started HATING the fact that wherever I turn on the radio in my car there is always either Gangnam Style or some super greasy Dubstep. And that pretty much made me dislike Dubstep really much. The thing with all these Pop songs becoming suddenly famous also pisses me off. I think musicians need to start using REAL instruments rather than making them up in FL Studio for example. I normally listen to Alternative Rock but that's just my personal taste for music.

i kinda agree with you on the dubstep opinion you have there. for example, i cant STAND like I CANT FUCKING STAND shrilex. he has absolutly NO lelody WHATSOEVER, and he is just sounds and horrible tunes clashing together to make this "music." i especially hate these dubstep remixes too, as i think they make the music more horrible with the extended bass and such. but that is just me. dubstep can be good IF it has some sort of melodic variations to it, and it has some mellow sounds to it, rather than extreme heavy bass sounds.
pop, however, has its benefits. it does require talent, as you need to sing, and some of the songs have some good singers, for example (and probably the best example) Michael Jackson is a true singer as he "composes" songs with a recorder rather than write the lyrics, and makes songs on the spot, which is pretty much pure talent right there.
alternative rock is ok IMO, but i never really listened to one before.
