We should stick to the important engineering related topics like "what did you buy today??" and "what does your bench look like??" (each with about 1.5 million views here). Oh, and the all important "Post a cat picture". Now THAT's engineeering. :-DD |

BTW, not sure if you guys are aware, but recently the International Institute for the Determination of Good Music (IIDGM) determined that, officially, "The Beatles and the Stones were the two most overrated rock bands in the history of the universe". They went on to say "The Beatles were good for nothing more than freakin' elevator music, and the Stones did only poor renditions of those with real soul". Discuss among yourselves. :popcorn: BTW, anyone who wants to claim that the new millennial generation has even the slightest claim to music excellence first needs to explain "The Great Mumbler", Billie Eilish. :-DD |

Okay, back to electronics for a moment. Ask, how many of you guys here on the EEVBlog Forum, started your interest in electronics through synthesizers, drum machines, mixers, tape decks, midi controllers, samplers, electric organs, amplifiers, disco decks or electric guitars? Too name but a few. What none of you, some of you, or just about all of you?! Modern music may not sound as raw or as innovative as it used to, but 99.9% of music from the last 50 years is thanks to the creativity of not just musicians, but ELECTRONIC ENGINEERS. From performing on stage on a Mellotron to raving online with a Midi Sequencer, music is as darn tech driven and *modern* as it gets. Worried that you can't say E.D.M. without saying ELECTRONIC dance music? Then plug in your humbucker, turn your Marshall up to 11, step on the fuzz pedal and rock on!! |

What this has to do with Engineering. The next step. Modern engineers suck as well. Their thesis's are rubbish and they only know how to program arduinos, slap stuff together with python an shit and pressing shields on top of what not. Does my statement convey the message that talented engineers do not exist to you? They do exist. On this forum as well. Young and old. "Which component smells the best when burning" or "how long are the legs of your workbench" topics are indeed more popular. The same goes for music. On the surface there is nothing really interesting to see. About music: there is still good music out there. There are still people composing rock music, playing and reinventing jazz, composing and playing classical music. For every genre you can find, if you spent some time to investigate what's going on out there, you will find that every genre has grown over the years. This music is however not played on radio stations playing pop music. Pop music has always been just popular music. For people making statements about modern music being crap: the music from your teenage years was crap as well. It had nothing to do with music at all. Just marketing. People liked it because they had a sense of belonging somewhere. Is it that what' you're missing? |
