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 think the West is just creatively bankrupt, which is a reflection of the clear decline of Western hegemony. This means most art in the West is complete trash. However, it doesn't mean that the artform itself is trash. Ever since Al-Aqsa Flood, I've been exposed to Palestinian songs, and boy are they fucking catchy. I mean, if you're tired of "dat feel when no gf" pop songs, why not listen to songs about Palestinians lighting Zionists' asses on fire with rockets lmao
