I also grew up in the 70s and 80s. I go out of my way to listen to and support less mainstream artists who are writing excellent new music. The best part is that the lesser known ones play at smaller venues and it’s fun to get to meet them.

So much amazing music out there! When you get in that "let's catch this unknown band for 10 bucks" mentality, not only are you getting to see a new act in their prime, you never know when you're doing the equivalent of getting to catch the next Nirvana before they get discovered.

I saw all the best 70s and 80s bands in their prime and I'd much rather go catch 20 new bands for the price it costs to get nose bleed seats for a Metallica concert now.
