A lot of music made in the past decade is awful, pop and rap especially. It’s fucking awful.
Every decade has a lot of awful music.
It's just that the good music survives and that's what you hear.
If you lived through that decade, you either:
A) remember the music you listened to as being the greatest music of all time and that's all you listen to now. For which I say, I'm very sorry for you.
B) remember there was a lot of crap music but are smart enough to reassess your taste concerning some of it later on.
For example, I don't hate disco the same way I did when it first came out.
I now understand that it was meant to dance to and my stupid punk rock, I'm to hip for that ass should have been a little more open minded.
C) were musicians at the time and understood all this from the get go.
Music of all kinds is fucking amazing.
The best advice I have ever been given was by the music manager at the Bookstore I worked for.
She said, "There is good music in every genre. If you can't find it, you aren't listening to enough music."
I'm still looking for good mumble rap but I will find it.
