Liquor. What else is there to buy? No good video games ever come out and they're all shit along with everything else these days. Once you have a decent pc you're set imo.

More or less, yeah.

Fortunately, at least great music is still being made. You just have to look hard for it...

I'm definitely not seeing any good music since the 2000's. Since I was a kid I remember iTunes making the song "This is why I'm hot" #1. If you want good music you have to look have in the 90's and possibly very early 2000's. I wish I grew up with decent music =/

this is just ridiculous, you think there hasn't been great music made in the past 10 years?

There's definitely been great music after the year 2000. You tell me one music style and I'll tell you some good pieces of that.
But maybe we should open a separate thread for that.

haha very little. Recent albums or artists I like such as eminem, linkin park, and other have really lacked what made them great in the first place. The only artist that has kept up making good music until now is Alice in Chains. There has been good music but not much at all. I almost forgot the prodigy! Everything they made is also great still.

Well you can't keep writing songs in the same style forever, like grunge or techno for 30 years. Times move on.

Sounds like you're only focusing on the "pop" artists, which just is not a style you like. There's still plenty of great stuff out there. but I don't know your preferred genres

I was listening to the radio on the way to class and eventually I had to just turn it off. I'm talking about new artists that are making music recently and it's all garbage to me.

my point is the radio only plays a small section of music that is produced. There's way more music that you aren't even hearing from new artists you don't know, you shouldn't generalize
