I can’t say I have any peers that say music use to be better. I hardly find music to be stagnant now, hell a lot of the recent pop music has had some things that have resonated with me and I’m a dude in my 30s. The thing is you can’t let yourself stagnate. I am a music lover who is always looking for something new and different. With the internet and recording being so accessible there are more artists being able to put their work out there than ever. Even then, I am still going back to music of my youth and still enjoying most of it. My parent’s music was never went away- I’m digging even deeper into their record crates and finding the stuff they weren’t quite fond of and finding a lot of things I enjoy. Open your ears, the birds are singing and bells are ringing. You just have to go to the woods or the town square to hear them some times.
