Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

Or even just look at hip hop. There was a ridiculous amount of popular hip hop in the 80s that was just bad, but the genre got polished and now there's a ridiculous amount of good stuff. You'll see people complain about the quality of the really popular stuff, but there's so many up and comers that are putting out awesome stuff. It's like any other art form. Each generation builds on the previous. Taking the stuff the previous generation took a lifetime to master and learning the ins and outs in a few years. Making them able to master it in a way the previous generation could only guess at.
