The problem is not being a contrarian or expressing their opinion.
The problem starts when both of you finish by saying "speaking the truth" as if your point of view is objective in any way whatsoever.
None of what you say it's objective, you may believe you are speaking the truth, but saying it over and over (in the case of McCartneyMartin) doesn't become "the truth".
Again, be free to say what you want, but don't pretend a positive reaction to what you say if you want to impose your beliefs to everyone else.
And just so you know, I disagree, music from the 90s is different than now, it's not lacking, better, worse, it's just different. Reasons to start a career are not right or wrong compared to the past, it's just different.
Technology is always changing the game, it has always been this way, but if you can't move with the times it's not our problem. The problem is that you got old and old people tend to reject change, that may be the reason why no one stays in the game forever, well, maybe except for Max.
I personally feel more engaged with music of today, every release that I post every Friday is what I'm engaged the most and the reason to keep looking for new music.
I may agree at some points like being lackluster at times or just miserably short, but condemning a whole industry and calling it "facts"? That's way too much.
