You remind me of the sort of back-beat hipster who denounces everything because you've listened to a couple of songs by Paul McCartney. You know, the kind of person who tries far too hard to distance himself from the group of kids today because he doesn't want the bad name their getting. You're not artsy and unique for liking older music.

You never really listen to the utter shit of the 60's and 70's because it simple isn't played anymore. Go back then and you'll have heard the same sort of shit that you hear now. In 20 or so years time nobody will be replaying the utter crap from these days, they'll only be looking back on the good stuff, and there will be some precocious brat just as snotty as you saying that the 90's and 00's were the best years for music, ever.

Don't make a huge fuss when some people like things that you don't like.

I don't think Nirvana dying was the cause of the music industry shitting itself. They weren't some godly band that ruled all at any point ever.

You've got to be kidding me. Stop replying. Wait a year or two. Once you've grown up a little bit, come back and we'll try to welcome you.

A pianist that doesn't compose his own songs is praised entirely for his performance and skill, usually for being able to convey in a piece the details written by the composer. On the other hand, most mainstream singers rely on the song lyrics and appearance to promote a message or ideal that the mass can identify with. Should they take the praise and credit when the product was made by another individual?

Oh, it all makes sense. Music that the person in question likes is held to radically different standards then everything outside of their likes.

There is actually a lot of good music still coming out. It's all indie though, so it usually only gets internet exposure.

All the eras had bad music, the only reason why you rarely hear it is because nobody cared about the shit. Hence why you only hear the well known artists from past eras, music is just as shit as it was 20 years ago.

No, you just tried to compare two kinds of music that are radically different. I don't disagree with the point that wanted to get across, but admit that you used a bad example.
