Classic Rock vs Modern Music

Have you ever thought about a comparison between current music and Classic Rock of the 60's-80's? Well, I have two different points of view, check them out:
1. On one hand, Rock and Roll, which many experts of music and some historians think was born in the Unites States, is mainly the root of modern culture. However, rock and Roll has existed since 1940, with a lot of bands that made particular sounds.
You can realize that in the 60's, flowers were a better ornament for you than gold, music flowed at the same time your hair moved with the wind; people were against the war, looking for freedom and peace from the most beautiful art: music; also that was the time when a lot of demonstrations and massive protests took place, trying to change violence for peace and love, expressing your spirit.
Furthermore, in the 80's, the "X generation" was born; a kinda lost period of social transition. Many musicians of Europe and United States came to explore the music art more, creating sounds with the technology of the age, giving more opportunities to the modern music to improve their sounds, which are mainly the copy of music of the 60's and 80's. For example, bands like The Doors, The Beatles, Creedence, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and many more, are the icon for new artists, namely Lady Gaga, who confessed in an interview that she was inspired by "Queen" to write her songs.

2. On the other hand we have that although much of modern music is inspired by other music, from the 60’s or 80’s, you can realize that “copying ideas” is not a demonstration of your talent. For example, other waves of music are original, like EBM/industrial, and not well-known commercial bands, as neoclassical music (for example, Caprice from Russia, and other bands).
As the name properly says, pop music is “popular”; you can follow the flock, or be a different sheep, listening to another kind of music, not only music that is a copy of another one who has the “greatest brain” to create his/her own music, not expecting that a silly clumsy guy came to steal his/her ideas.
Modern music is not in conflict with oldies hits (rock, for example). There are still people who have a great talent for creating songs and original music. If you want a name, you have Tarja Turunen (ex-female voice of Nightwish) and her album “My Winter Storm”, Diorama and their “World of Ice” (Electro-dark music), London After Midnight and their “Violent acts of beauty” (Gothic/darkwave), or you can try with Celtic sounds, like Era or Within Temptation with the album Mother Earth, which is a mix of metal and Celtic sounds.
Anyway, To conclude this essay, I can say that pop music is not always the best option, or something else. You can try more music, non-commercial or other genres, it would be great to increase your music culture.
You can do it!!! Or if you prefer classic rock, it’s fine; the Greatest rock bands will never die. Rock and Roll Rules! ^^
