David Bowie just doesn't click with me for some reason. Why would he be worth listening to? He was certainly influential on a popular level (like Queen), but none of his ingenuity sticks with me for some reason. Pretty much everything that I've heard pre-Black Star sounds dated and, production-wise, inoffensive. His voice has the theatrical sound of Scott Walker, but it's far more grating. Which one of his works breaks any ground?
Scaruffi's write up:
>David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. There were intellectuals who had proclaimed this theory in rebellious terms. Bowie was, in many ways, the heir, no matter how perverted, of Andy Warhol's pop art and of the underground culture of the 1960s. He adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity.
>Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.

>Each element of his art is the emblem of a true artistic movement; however, the ensemble of those emblems constitutes no more than a puzzle, no matter how intriguing, of symbols, a roll of incoherent images projected against the wall at twice the speed, a dictionary of terms rather than a poem, and, in the best of hypotheses, a documentary of the cultural fads of his era.
>Reading the chronicles of his times, it is clear that what caused sensation was the show, not the music. The show that Bowie set up was undoubtedly in sync with the avantgarde, as it fused theater, mime, cinema, visual art, literature and music. However, Bowie merely recycled what had been going on for years in the British underground, in particular what had been popularized by the psychedelic bands of 1967. And he turned it into a commodity: whichever way you look at his oeuvre, this is the real merit of it.
>Surprisingly, he resurrected his career in the 1990s with a trio of experimental works that suddenly showed he had become a musician, not just the pretense of being a musician.

Pretentious pop music, the most overrated album of the year for sure.

Where has guitar music gone?
Why are there no new movements like punk, new wave, post-punk, grunge in the 21st century?
Why is it always old genres being revived instead of new ones being created?
Is guitar music dead?
What do you want to see from guitar music in the future?

I think its because of the internet age and such
>>
Most people who pick up guitars these days are people that want to play their favorite AC/DC song
Alternatively, new bands that do actually form tend to comprise musical 'patricians' that only want to make feedback-infused drone metal
I am a part of the latter

The internet has homogenized mainstream culture to the point that underground movements no longer get picked up and exploited by major labels in the way they were prior to 2010.
