Is music these days better than it was before?
My answer is no.
Because I think that the quality of music has really gone down recently. People these days rarely create real music, real art. The songs don't have meaning, and they usually spread hateful and horrible messages to society (I'm thinking about most rap music here); or they don't have any message at all. Like 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. I hate that song, and I don't get it.
Especially pop music.... I can't remember the last pop song I heard that really touched my heart.
The only artists I can truly say I like these days are: Adam Lambert, Evanescence, Kamelot, Céline Dion, Michael Jackson, Michael W. Smith, Demi Lovato and Three Days Grace.

No, music isn't better then it was before. Music is as good as its ever been. It is the emotion and motive of the artists that has changed, maybe for better or maybe worse. Beethoven has songs that are unmatched by today's music. My prime example is Justin Beiber. Beethoven was a deaf master of music. Beiber had a hard on and some friends in the music biz after he became noticed on YouTube. Side: No

See better, is kind of subjective in a way that's what's good to you may be trash to others. Take for instance metal music. I can't stand that genre and seriously wonder how people put up with it, yet I have acquaintances that can't get enough of the stuff, and call my rap music horrid. Yet based on my personal opinion, I'm inclined to say no for these reasons. 1.) Pop is on the rise while other genres are either dwindling or becoming stationary. All pop really is is everyday situations to a fast beat. Usually about parties, and in my opinion, annoying. 2.) Everything that songs talk about now, have already been described in vivid details by other, earlier songs, one hundred times over. Take for example all of the covers of songs, and all of the song titles that exist. Seriously take just about any word, google it with the word 'lyrics' following it, and see what comes up. 3.) I have a favorite song from older times, and it's still been unmatched, in my ears, by any song, any artist, anything that's been made. Covers don't come close, parodies just insult it, and any attempt to change any of the lyrics should be a crime. Don't stop believing

No! This is a simple answer. Music these days is crap compared to what it used to be. I can still remember when music used to mean something but now a days all you will get is a dubstep beat, rap (meaning less), or some new singer singing about sex. Over all music USED to mean something which made it good. People/teenagers don't seem to understand that music is good for the meaning and how its sung. Side: No

Music has become too commercial. Lyrics and theme's are not as nearly good and deep as they used to be. Many people say that nowadays music is better because we have more instruments and different sounds but that doesn't mean anything. Indians at Little Bighorn fought with arches and arrows against better trained US military with guns and rifles and they've still won. Its not about what do you have its more about how do you use it. My favorite song, ever: Sultans of Swing
