Of course that is true, but in general, the argument is not pointing at which genre of music is the best, but it is saying that todays genre of music, techno pop, or house, is the best. The side "todays music is crap" is arguing for the other typed of music, the music of the past, such as rock and roll, and jazz. So it is absolutely possible to argue this debate.

I believe that todays music is absolute junk. The media glorifies what today we call music, a bunch of synthesized beats. What comes to mind when you think about music? How do you create it? The main thought that comes to mind is instruments. The music today, though, has no instruments, unless of course you listen to One Direction, and there was that one time where Lil' Wayne managed to pick up a guitar... But even so, when we think about todays music, we are generally thinking about the majority, not independent people who listen to Andie music, but the mainstream people who follow the latest trends.

Today, the trend is tech no pop. There is nothing in it. It is not even made by the person who claims they made it, for example, Flo Roda claims all credit for "his" song, Good Feeling, however, if you look on this website, you can see that he sampled Etta James' Somethings Got A Hold On Me:

Just look at our most popular DJ today, David Gerta. Look up his name, and you will find over 25 samples from different people. What exactly does this show? Well, it shows that the talent, and so called originality in todays music, is not present. Back then, in the 80s, when a band such as the Scorpions wanted to record a song, they had to pick up instruments, make up the song, the notes to it, the lyrics. That is talent. Writing songs, playing instruments, being in a band. Now, thanks to sampling, we can get any old beat, remix it on a computer, and publish it in our own name.

It hurts to see this happening. It is so unfortunate that the real music had to go, but then again, what can you do? The mainstream media will continue to dominate the music being listened to today, and whether we like it or not, the real music is going to have to die someday. It is just sad to see it destroyed by what is so obviously crap. I, personally, am 15, and since 3 years ago, realised that after listening to a song called Lo ca by Ska Noel, that what I was listening to at the time was absolute junk.

I was embarrassed. I still am. How could I possibly have listened to such... such stuff. Luckily I had managed to remove the blind from my eyes, I had managed to escape the room dominated by the mainstream society and decide for myself what I wanted to listen to. Many people today fail to do that. It is sad. Truly it is. Luckily, I did it. And I can say today that I made the right choice. This, in itself, my story, is pure evidence of what is better. I have been to both sides, and have no regrets listening to rock and roll, heavy metal, and classic rock. It is probably one of the best decisions I have made in my life, along with taking up playing the guitar. I am self taught, and people say I am extremely talented for it. On the other hand, if I tried to make a beat up, I know that people would not look at me the same way in terms of talent.

I hope that this has given sufficient evidence to support the real music. I strongly oppose todays music, and thus, this is why my post in particular is so long. This is my complete and honest personal opinion on todays music, and why I despise it so much. I hope that I can make someone out there see that they are being controlled and told what to listen to. It is not right. It just isn't. You should have your own choice. Even if you don't agree with my taste in music, primarily rock and roll, go out and try another kind of music, like jazz, or classic roll. It can't hurt, can it?

That is all I have to say for my side. I beg you to oppose the motion.
