What surprises me most is this...
I think many of us have encountered the phenomenon of the older generation rejecting modern music. Well, I doubt all grandmothers used to be fans of Black Sabbath. Quite often, when trying to discuss music with older people, you hear statements like, "All this modern stuff is just noise and nonsense." And no amount of "Nothing Else Matters" will convince them of its melodic qualities. They simply don't listen – neither to the music nor to the person they're talking to.
And in this thread, I'm amazed to see the same stubborn conservatism, but not from the older generation. Young people, who are supposedly open-minded and receptive to all ideas and trends, are showing the same rigid stubbornness, but in the opposite direction: jazz, country, blues, chanson – "Ugh, it's all pop! And the heavier the music, the better."
Think about it: how are you any better than the old man sitting on a bench in the courtyard, grumbling at the Rammstein blasting from the window: "Noise, a bunch of hairy idiots..."
