I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

@AttackBunny @JoYo modern music always sucks. the reason why the music of the past seems better is because nobody remembers all the chaff that populated the charts.

We also don't have time to listen to all current music.

It's not that we don't remember it, we've never even heard it.

Oh trust me, there is plenty of older music that I hate, however, I could throw a rock from about any song/band and find one I like. Now, not so much.
