Biased music opinions?
I've got some about mainstream/modern day rock and rap.
Most modern day rap is based around the subjects of violence, sex and material posessions. I believe that the young people of my generation are heavily influenced because of this and is responsible for the increase in crime.

And about modern day rock, when someone says they like punk, the first thing that comes to mind is "emo". I don't really get that though, but it is true that the mainstream is dominated by punk/emo, so it's easy to assume things. Today's lyrical compositions can't be compared to the oldies from Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer etc. I find that most of these modern bands write about is personal problems and how bad their life is, in contrast to the bands before, writing about religion and politics.

Modern day guitarists from bands like Green Day couldn't come up with good solos if their life depended on it. Those are my opinions.
