They said the same thing about rock'n'roll when it came out, about 70 years ago. Most likely someone said it about Beethoven's music as well. Now those are considered classics.

I agree some music is crap. You just need to be selective, and listen only to the best pieces. Nowadays it's easier than ever.

The same goes for food: some food are crap and bad for your health. Do you stop eating... or do you choose good food?

(good) Music really is food for the soul. Your advice sounds as crappy as some modern music. ;-P
