I was riding in the car with my mom on the way home when Fall Out Boy's rendition of Micheal Jackson's 'Beat It' played on the radio. She exclaimed "Another revival? Does the musicians now have any originality?" in Filipino. Me, being a young punk/rock/metal loving teenager, actually preferred it a bit over the original. But I still love the original. My point is: Are revivals good or bad?
I mean, the adults are enjoying the music from their time but most are disliking the music now and vise versa for the teenagers. But from what I see, the bands and artists now are just trying to give old song a twist so that people now could enjoy music then. But, why are the people who grew up listening to the original versions complaining? I understand that the original version is the best version (most of the time), but isn't it good that young people now are enjoying their music? I want your opinions over this subject. Some people say that originals shouldn't be revived but most people I know hate the originals while revived capture more people. I really am confused.
