Hey bro, as a musician personally...
I agree with you, it makes me sick how many times games or movies will use THE SAME OLD classic songs... not that classics are bad...
But because it makes the music industry one sided.
Its why my personal feelings are that IN AMERICA music is dead, its everywhere now, but its overproduced sold out trash to the same time signature, and a whopping 3 chords.
Chances are the people making the commercial have no idea about "modern music" plus they likely have incentives for using Sony brand music.
The worst part being a musician is you live long enough to see a change, but realize its left up to the no experience joe, or the mind altering media to tell us "what good music is"
Cobain died to avoid becoming the same fascists corporate dogs, that any band today strives for. Classical rock (jazz etc) is great but most of it is owned by the same 3 corporations that will keep shoving it down the medias throat as long as there is still a teenager, buying another beatles t shirt.
No point for you to waste time with the forum trolls on this one, just know that I think your right, but we are outnumbered by the average joe. A joe who inherits the music they listen to.

If you think all new music in America is overproduced and simply 3 chords then you're listening to the wrong music.

Its not and i know that thank you, and if you read my post i was commenting on how i think (up and coming artists dont have a fair chance) Its just sad that Led Zeppelin can still make moneu off of the same songs, when in america many schools cant even afford a half decent music program. Music makes billions if you are talented (beatles , led zeps of the world) But for the broke kid living in the ghetto you cant even get a real music education in highschool any more

I personally only listen to classic music, 1920 era speakeasy music is my personal preference but I do like to spice it up with some Simon and Garfunkel and the such, I agree that music has completely died and become an arbitrary statement about asses and tits

Cobain died because a junky should never play with shotguns and he had some mental issues.

American music is far from dead. There are absolutely amazing records released every year. I can list many example if necessary.

This is why I listen to classical music, anything (almost, at least, I don't like much of Mackey) you listen to is fantastic no matter how many times you listen to it

Thats the point my friend I will never tell you not to listen to your favorite album or song, or youtube if you must. Its meant for us to enjoy. I like classical, jazz, rock, hip hop, techno... pretty much anything not country (personal taste i guess) My passion for music is slowly dying, but my love for it is still enough for me to enjoy it
