Truely artistic music is still being made, but you just have to look for it.
Yup
Examples of this, for me at least, are groups like AFI, The White Stripes, Coldplay; artists like Kanye West, Talib Kweli; examples of people who, you can just tell, put real effort into making their music; damn, I'd even say Evanescence
Rap has gone downhill, or better yet, fallen off a cliff. Money is the evil in all of this, if you ask me. Groups or artists from as early as 15 years ago made the music, and the reward they wanted was just to be recognized as as good musicians, etc etc.
Now, music is a huge industry; the motivation isn't good quality sound, but just pop culture
It's annoying, and it's frustrating that my radio is gathering dust as a result. And yea, there are exceptions to this ugly trend, but you have to look, and that's the problem
