Music isn't what it used to be (endlesstalk.org)

No, I'm not saying all modern music is awful, but majority of the music that gets trending is terrible. Yet another girl that twerks for 3 minutes with a trap beat or some crappy awful rap song. Or Ariana Grande talking about another break up in the most boring cliché way possible. I guess since music is easier than ever to produce, now any clown can call themselves an artist.

Just keep in mind... The trending music in past decades was MJ, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Cher, many, MANY decent to great rock bands and ballads. And I'm not forgetting the rap, rnb and hip hop, 2pac, salt n Peppa, en vogue, NWA, Biggie... There's an objective quality in these artist missing in majority of modern acts.

Hell, I would argue that decent artists from the 2010s like Taylor swift and Drake are getting lazy with their music as well, their songs being more focused on following those trending kids with awful music.

Totally agree. I'm relatively young-ish still (I'd like to think 😅) but haven't listened to much new music at all in the past 10 years, and especially now...I find myself constantly going back from the 90s to maybe the 2010s, with some older classics sprinkled in as well.
