[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 11337135, member: 83302"]It's a whole new world. I love old movies. From when sound was first invented, there's always an old guy in the movie complaining about the new generation. I always think "it would have been a great time to be alive." I'm now the old guy complaining. But, I can actually point to the issues with the modern generations. 1. They don't listen to musicians anymore. Everyone is autotuned. If you ever wonder why all singers sound so similar now, it's because their voices are being tuned. I will say with some knowledge (I heard Taylor Swift live on awards shows back when she was hitting it big) she can't sing. If autotune was never invented, she would have no career. Name some famous musicians (guitarists, keyboardists, drummers) who are on top of the charts. There are none. 2. Filmmaking is on it's last death gasp. I borrow everything from my library (I have a movie theater in my attic) and 95% of the movies released now are unwatchable. I've borrowed over 400 and 300 are in a terrible list, 60 were alright, and the others were either good or very good. 3. The kids I see are non communicative. They just stare at their phones. Many wear headphones to drown out all noise, and most when not looking at their phones have a terrified look on their faces that someone might say something to them. 4. I don't like to get political. On many subjects I just shake my head and wonder how we got here. It's sad how a person's life can be wiped away a moment after they pass away. I'm lucky. I know I have friends who want my garbage. Hopefully they get it. I know my wife will be selling most of it before I'm cremated.[/QUOTE]
