As a lover of music, I sometimes feel that the music I like is GREATLY under-appreciated.  Many of my fellow students listen to newer, lamer music.  Music like Kanye West and Deadmaus are polluting eardrums all over the world. The music I like comes from the classic genres like blues and old school country, not techno and hip-hop.

The greatest genre of the two is definitely blues. Everything came from the blues and musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed. The best modern blues songs are by the White Stripes. Country is a great genre as well. The newer country is much worse than the older stuff though. By older I mean musicians like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Jr.

Obviously though, not all new music is bad. As I said before, the White Stripes are amazing (even if Jack White has sold out). Bands like AC/DC and the Stones are classic. People need to remember where music came from in order to appreciate the music they like now.
