No, I don't know "Commando" and after gooleing and watching all that

Schwarzenegger pics I'm sure I don't know "those war type comics".

Comics are no replacements for carpets, bottles and automobiles. Comics

don't replace anything, they once upon a time were something new and

never intended as a replacement for something, especially not for books,

since comics are books too.

English isn't the native spoken language all over the world, but the

international language, so English has got many foreign influences.
However, "Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same". Chart

music nearly does sound equal, because the customers want it that way.

If you need shoes size 12, you won't go to a shoemaker claiming that

everybody wants shoes of that size, so he won't sell this size anymore.
The comparison of chord usage etc. between old and modern pop music is

insane. The niveau of music has less to do with physical artistic and

theory. I'm not watching Olympics, but playing complicated scale

combinations very fast to complicated music theory harmonies IMO belongs

to the Olympics. Some modern pop music became simpler, but that's a far

cry from saying that the niveau today is lower. People should listen to

music with their hearts (not with their brains (or dicks)). And we are

free to listen to more than just 10 heavy rotation songs in the media.

We are free to listen to a mix of old and new music that is composed and

arranged in a style we do like. There is no averaged pop music.

Especially today where we've got more and more different peer groups,

there's more and more independent music. Watch the kids on YouTube, they

play old music very good. They listen to old music, play old music, but

they also listen to modern music and compose and arrange modern music.

But yes, they often use an original Mellotron, pay analog studios to

record their music etc., instead of e.g. using Linux, Microsoft, Apple

for audio ;).
Some people made another study :D.
