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
I use my CD player in my car to play music I've either bought from musicians I like or shit I've burned onto blank disks, so for damn near the entirety of my life that I've had a driver license I haven't listened to anything mainstream for years.
It's been so long since I've listened to mainstream pop music, that when I went out to karaoke to celebrate my friend's coming baby, I actually enjoyed listening to it since it was novel to me.
Like the only thing that's actually annoyed me a bit musically, lately, is the fucking Alexander Hamilton musical still making rounds.
I'm fairly positive I'm so out of touch with mainstream society, even to literal boomers, that people who talk to me tell me outright to my face that I'm the most eccentric person they've ever met their entire lives and I'm sitting here like
Lmao that rules.
