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.

    I don’t have anything close to a family… I don’t see the relation anyways. Music currently is getting dumber and worse. I’m not offended, I’m not an old man saying that this music corrupts the young people, that is stupidity. But is definitely worse. Yeah it’s catering kids… With worse music.

        Why not? That’s a fact. Right now there’s like 2 girls twerking on YouTube for a rap video, you would think they’re the strippers for the video, no they’re the artist, and the lyrics are wank. They almost make Nicki Minaj’s “anaconda” passable… Almost

            Madonna is a real artist. That’s the difference. Like a virgin, as provocative as it was, it was smart. The whole machine behind her was smart and even though provoking. Even his erotica days, as sexually as it was. I’m not against sex in music, but it needs a strong reason to be there.
