I know good modern pop music exists, I'm talking about the terrible shit that plays on radios, commercials, TV etc. The stuff that the media has decided is current pop music.
This is probably my most boomer opinion , but most of it is awful. Where have all the strong voices gone? It's all baby voiced feel good insurance commercial stuff or warbley break-up songs.
If I hear another song that sounds like 'Tonights Gonna be a Good Night." or Ed Sheeran or any of the 100 songs sung by women that all sound like infants I am going to screm.
Also anyone notice that these songs are all safe as far as lyrics go? No ones allowed to be mad or defiant in music anymore. Its all "Lets party." or "Boohoo my Boyfriend left me." Mainstream music used to have tons of "Fuck the system" songs, not any more. There seems to be no genre represented outside of singer-songwriter. Also let women have strong voices again, damn it. Also let bands that play instruments exist. Let multiple genres exist!
Anyway, Boomer_Owl out
The funny thing about mainstream music is i hate it when it comes out and then 10 years down the line it becomes my comfort nostalgia music. Explain that one athiests
that's just it becoming a vibe, like if you always smell drywall during cozy christmas celebrations you'll associate the two and now smelling drywall makes you comfy and nostalgic
but it's still the smell of drywall, it's not inherently an interesting or particularly appealing smell
true
I think in part because they're funny too
Hotline bling when it came out? Turn that shit off for fuck sake I've heard it 8 times today and all the worst people I know love it.
Hotline bling now? Get the boosie fade out, it's time to rock with the drizzy god
Yeah the funny factor is part of the reason, although my ironic enjoyment after a while just becomes enjoyment
