# Eugh, not Skrillex! I'm more a xKore or Excision man myself.
With you on Squarepusher, definitely. :D

And also, I used to know a 'merkin who claimed she went to school with Skrillex.

# I am too old to know who they are.
Until a few weeks ago I thought Rizzle Kicks was some sort of crisps.

# You know, when I was younger I thought I would always care about current music
but I really can't be arsed if I don't know who the latest shower are. And I don't care either. Which surprises me.

# I don't think I ever have cared much for current music
apart from, maybe, when I was growing up in the 90s, when acts like The Prodigy and Daft Punk where starting out.

# I remember the day I stopped my copy of NME at the paper shop and the shop owner asked
me why and I opened up the current copy and just pointed at page after page of shit bands. It was in hindsight I realised I could have done this 15 years previously and saved myself a small fortune.

The crossword was always good, mind.

# THIS ^^^
With big sexy knockers on. I loved doing the crossword but when it got to the stage where i might care about two or three artists in the whole of the NME i knew it was time to let it go and just go live in a cave and listen to Kyuss for the rest of eternity.

# This is an extremely familiar story
I stopped getting the NME when I realised that the only thing I was buying it for was the crossword, and much as I enjoyed it it wasn't worth the cost.

# Same reason I stopped buying Kerrang!
after 10 years. I think I vomited eighteen times into a passing granny's handbag when I read the word "NWOBHM" (New Wave of British Heavy Metal).

# I imagine about 15 years ago and earlier, the magazine had some worth.
But then there I go, comparing music from the 80s/90s to the music today. Nowadays, it's all about money, pushing a button in Garageband or FL Studio and away you go, debut album. Music's great when it's about spreading a message, and all that hippie stuff.

# I bet if someone had given you an NME magazine 15 years ago you would have thought it was shit then too,
seeing as it uses long words and doesn't contain friendly pictures of Spot the Dog.

# Yeah, I mean, if I was my age back then.
Saying that though, I think I was reading Viz at 6 years old.

# Actually, there must have been a few gems going off the end of year list. 1997 was a pretty good year.

Apart from the Verve. Never liked the Verve.

# Daft Punk = awesome
I saw them at an early gig in the U.K. (Around the World had just made it into the charts) and I was hooked from then. I do think there is some decent stuff now, but there seemed to be a lot of choice in the 90s, especially with 'Dance' music. But my folks would probably say the same about bands in the 60s vs the 90s.

# Oh yeah, there's definitely good music being released, just a case of looking for it.
I've heard tell Daft Punk are releasing a new album next year, with Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder. I'm hoping they do something a bit more like Discovery, I wasn't too keen on Human After All. It was good, but...

# ...I know what you mean.
Here's hoping eh? As for 90s stuff, where do/did you stand on the Sneakerpimps? For me, Becoming X summed up the 90s - the blend of electronica (hate that term) with guitars - a real moment for me!
(Jimbojames Wishing every day could be like today, Tue 7 Aug 2012, 16:26, archived)
# Sneakerpimps... they were the ones that did Six Underground, right?
LOVE that track. Moloko, Massive Attack, Coco and the Bean, Portishead, anything even remotely like those from the 90s (trip-hop?) is a sure winner.
(I helped save b3ta! Bourbon Fox Bourbon is a moron, Tue 7 Aug 2012, 16:32, archived)
# Yes!
I went to live in Bristol on the basis of Massive Attack and Portishead (among others). Yes - the 'pimps did Six Underground. I only saw them because another band pulled out (and I'm glad they did). Trip-hop... I thought things could not get any better. And then Snow Patrol came along (I really don't like Snow Patrol).

# Ace :D
I think the best of the genre was left behind in the nineties, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Of course, there could be loads of new acts out there I've never heard of, keeping it up.

# S'alright, even I don't know what Rizzle Kicks is. XD

# They did that "Down with the Trumpets" song
I actually quite like that one.

Oh yeah, that one. Not really into this kind of music, but I agree with Mu, there's FAR worse current music about.
