Don't do it please.....Don't mean to be thread stealer, just would like to toss my 2 cents in...if I may.
I agree with what Kirk said about the music and some of the music that the youth of today are into.
But, from the other side, I play at part-time DJ-ing, and truth of the matter is... they do "get into it". Groups like Rage,Korn,Godsmack,Slipknot...Etc are the most requested from the younger at the parties I've overseen the music at. Personally they all sound just like the other, but to each their own. And yes I have Gbs of that style.
One other take on this...I'm 48yrs old, came up in the time where sex,drugs & rock& roll was the "in thing" and I can remember my Folks, Aunts & Uncles, anyone of that"Ol Geezer" age, constantly complaining about the music I chose to listen to...Black Sabbath,Ted Nugent,Steppenwolf and lets not forget King Crimson or Frank Zappa for that matter.
I guess after all this rambling all I'm trying to say is....To the youth of today---Your not really experiencing music when it all sounds the same, musically and in the lyrics.---To us Ol Geezer types, well just try to remember our own youth and how others had strong opinions of our tastes.
I apologize for not offering anything to the OP and their original request, or anything for that matter...just rambling on.
