"It's like a sound system is not part of our culture anymore" that to me is the bottom line. If young people are not interested in good sound they never will be. Like I have been saying since I got on this site we are the last of the dinosaurs. And you know what happened to them.

indeed.They are not interested in music anymore, so a sound system is the last of their needs.
Its really sad and worrysome. ITs like, they cannot even concentrate enough to listen to real music anymore.
Electronica has really changed the way music is seen and what music is suppose to be and sound like.
Dont get me wrong, theres still amazing music being made today, but its sparse and theres a lot more crap then before.The crap is much more crappier then 30 years ago, and a lot more people listen to that crap so that tells you how bad the situation is.
And to think that Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix or Zappa was considered popular at one time and mainstream is amazing to me. Music is just not the same. Originality and research of something different musically is mostly gone. Electronica made possible for anybody to make cool sounds and music. Melodies are more and more cheesy or simply elementory. The drum work is now not a part of the music but just something to respect the rhythm (tony william would be considered too much for example), ect.
Ive been a electronica fan all my life and if one dig deep enough, theres truly amazing musician in the elctronica realm. but they are rare, really rare. Most are not musicians, and what thye do could barely be considered music. Sure, its music, but really really bad imo compared to even the 70s and 80s and 90s. Worst is that the good music from the past is seen like too old and bad Truth is, most cannot understand Miles, Jimi or Zappa genius; the intelligence behind their music is really not understood.Again, its not that people doesnt have taste anymore, its simply that their taste cannot evolve due to the lack of exposition to real music. Just like when I was a kid and couldnt appreciate wine, coffee or mushrooms.
Anyways!
So with all that said, nobody cares about music anymore, so a sound system is the last of one needs.
when I say no one, its a broad generation of course.

I grew up on frank Zappa and I don't remember him as mainstream. Maybe some other members here can comment on this. It would be interesting to see what they say.
