Like Chris, Sarah, Gabe (Halo 99), myself and so many others have said, there's just so much good stuff out there, you just have to keep looking. Even some stuff that's "mainstream" isn't that bad. I'm honestly glad I branched out, because listening to the same old bands, who aren't putting anything out anymore a million times gets boring (except of course, The Beatles) but it's fun to follow newer bands who are putting stuff out, and notice that there are a LOT of talented bands out there, and your assessement of modern music (Gabe - the little one) is pretty narrow-minded. That's all.
