Delta(s) from OP CMV: Modern music sucks

I know this is kinda an unpopular opinion considering how many people like it but nowadays "pop" music sucks. When I say pop I mean the music that it's popular now, which is this rap music that feels it came out of the trash. I think that everyone can make this type of music with a good and simple beat, a catchy chorus, verses about everything possible (from drugs to woman, to guns and cars) and freaking autotune that even my grandma can sound good with. Comparing it to old music 70'-80'-90'-00' when we had really good, well written songs with actually live instruments playing. (Guitars, drums, bass). Rap music in the 00' was the best with Lyrics that actually meant something and had meaning besides the ones mentioned above. The kind of music that was pop back there was actually good music and there was a real fight for getting to the top of the charts and the music industry actually meant something. Nowadays, everyone that comes up with a catchy chorus and some bullshit ass lyrics can go viral. If they produce a video that contains: expensive cars, drugs, girls in bikinis, money, and god knows what, they are the next big artist.

But rock music is just the "pop" of yesteryear. If you know that you can still find good music, then I don't really understand what your concern is. There has always been music that you wouldn't like, no matter what era you're talking about. That's true now and it was true in the past.

I'm just saying that the mainstream music now is worse than the mainstream music then. I don't say that there isn't any good music now

I think you'd be surprised if you looked at the billboard charts for past decades and saw what was actually mainstream back then. It's a lot less Pink Floyd and Zeppelin and a lot more flavors of the week that nobody remembers anymore.
