A lot of bands that came to prominence when I was growing up are now on hiatus, potentially permanently. Just to name a few, System of a Down, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters are all taking a break. Granted, some (like RHCP, which has been around since 1983 but have been a superband since Californication came out) have been around for quite some time, but they are all pretty good bands that defined the musical scene for certain periods of time.
Listening to music now - which I generally gauge from watching Fuse every now and then, as well as whatever is new on the gym's music station - gives me the impression that a lot of new stuff is pure crap. Kate Perry, Jonas Brothers, and the rest of those musicians who have one 'hit' song and a bunch of filler for the rest on their records are just godawful. There's no talent, no originality, and it makes me wonder if I'm going to be listening to 'oldies' (which is what music from the late 1990s/early 2000s will be when I'm older) because everything that is new will suck horrendously.
