Pillowpants's blog: "What it is."

FUCK NO!!! Seriously, It breaks my heart when people speak phrases like, "All the music these days sounds the same." Your parents said it and you hated it. Their parents said it. My friends are starting to say it. So much of the music that came out when I was a teenager is timeless. You can still be inspired. The world can still be huge. Music can still be good. You probably won't find it on the radio but you might. There are musicians born every day. They have vision. A guitar feels good in their hands, or the rhythm drives them to drum. Maybe industrial or tribal or digitallly enhanced sounds drive them to create. Open your heart. Your old favorite musicians still put out great shit. Find out what they are doing these days. Who are they working with? What are the musicians that you love listening to? EXPLORE!!! Art never stops happening. I love all of the music I used to love. I still listen to it. When I find a new band that blows me away or a new song that just leaves me swelled up inside it is like I have found the fountain of youth. The magnificence of new music is still just as grand as it always was. It is you that has gone stale. If you listen to ONLY songs you have already heard then how does that not "sound the same"? I find new meaning in old songs all the time, I'm just saying it is still out there. DON'T GIVE UP I BEG YOU! I respect every human being too much to see their mind close up.
