Here is something that I just do not get- "The music these days sucks"*.
First of all, what is 'good' music? What are we saying when we say music is good? What we say that a song is thus, are we just simply saying that we like it and that it pleases us? We must realize that, if that is the case someone might state that a song is good, while another might say that a song sucks without disagreeing. All that the people are saying is that the song pleases the first speaker and does not please the second speaker; neither statement alleges any general truth about the music that both are listening to. Therefore-- when one states that "the music these days sucks", their words do not determine whether or not the music is good or bad simply that it does not please them.
So again, I do not get why people throw around such a statement. If all that it means is that certain music from a timeline does not please them, why do they stick so hard to the fact that it sucks? Such a statement proves nothing of the sort, really.
For that matter-- how does all music from one timeline not please someone? To have such a statement be even close to true, such a person would have to listen to every song ever made from that timeline. Logically, it is the only way to hold up such an agreement.
Now, a good counter argument may be 'opinion'. Again, I ask you-- what is opinion?
