Music of the Future
Have you noticed that music in the 2000’s hasn’t been nearly as good as music from like the 80’s? Hit’s from the 80’s include Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, I Love Rock N’ Roll, Material Girl, and Jessie’s Girl plus many more. It’s amazing what kind of music is popular among the current teen generation. You’d think that they would regard all old music as worthless, but often times this isn’t the case. Even Grease is still popular!
One thing that is different today is the lack of musicals. You don’t see fantastic musicals like Grease anymore. Who knows, maybe the 70’s and 80’s songs will still be popular far into the future

I agree with you in most aspects, however I think film production is working harder to bring older things into play. Some musicals they have brought up are Hairspray or even Rika’s all time favorite (I’m just kidding Rika) High School Musical. You’re right in the fact that when you compare such classics to today the don’t even serve as just competition. It’s just something about the charm of music and movies from older decades that can’t be copied today.
