i mean music today as most of us know does not come from the acual artist
most of there work comes from other people wrighting song for them and then they dont even sing it them selfs they use modern comeputer techology to inhance the way they sound. AND THEY CANT EVEN PLAY THERE INSTUMENTS!!! they use comeputer techology to do that as well.

| I think its still music, just not the singers music. They're more of a marketing ploy. |

I think you're talking about pop. Rock, metal, jazz and many other genre's musicians are making their own music, they certainly can play their instruments and they don't need a computer to modify their voice.
Don't overgeneralize! |

i went to the Reading festival last year, and i can assure you that they all played their own instruments + were singing live

Apart from keeping your socks clean, your powder dry, and saluting anything that moves, the other great survival trick is to beware of lip-synching banjo players.

| Indeed, they are to be avoided at all costs. Fortunately there was not the slightest evidence of lip-synching, dirty socks, and surprisingly, not even a banjo. With that sad exception, instruments expertly played and sung to ran the gamut from didgeridoos to Stratocasters. For those who bemoan the current state of musicianship, I suggest they are simply looking in the wrong places. |

Well said. There are many talented musicians out there, and to say that today's musicians can't play their instruments or sing well is definitely, as Elina said, overgeneralizing.
