DY: you’re saying what every old fogie says, namely that the music you liked was music but everything that comes later doesnt qualify. But I disagree- its never been anything but insolent noise. Every production boils down to the same formula:
Take 3 or 4 random notes and line them up, find a tonal center to put at the end, and theres your low part. Take the same notes and move up an octave or so, theres your high part. Next play a bunch of chords to take away focus from the melody, and call that a song. Then do a goirel hagra to see which part of tanach or sifrei mussar will be sacrificed to become the lyrics- or if you are really looking to skirt the edge, have a chassidish woman write “english” words that oh so subtly refer to moshiach. Its always been this way and the only way people are able to enjoy it is by playing it so loudly that their brain goes into a temporary shock coma allowing primitive instincts and reflexes to take over.
Even a Monkey could do better.
