1) I am aware of POP 20 songs and I do like new songs, but it feels like music now is lazy and dumb(I am not a huge fan of Billie Ellish tbh)

2) Lack of diversity now, back in the 2000s, you could go from Nickelback(LOL) to Young Joc or something, now it's mumble rap, some dumb gaf song from Tik Tok, and Billie Ellish ewwie.

3) It just feels like a chore to turn on POP 20 radio now lol

Plenty of good new music, plenty of trash. In fact being a music fan is better than ever as it's incredibly easy to find and listen to music of any kind and find music that is exactly to your tastes.

It's better than ever, actually. Your problem if you rely on the lame as fuck top 40.

Rap/Hip Hop today is eons better than the shit that came out in the eighties and nineties.

Metal is fucking amazing now with a plethora of bands to choose from.

Some of the indie stuff isn't too bad, although some seems to go from, influenced by to, trying to sound like X band or performer. But either way, in today music, that you might find somewhere on the radio, that's about it.

Having said that. I just received my box set of Radio Head CD's.

You stopped putting in the effort to find music, so you kinda just sit with what you're given. Music will always be mostly terrible on a mainstream level, your enjoyment lies mostly on how much you go out of your way to find stuff.

Pick a year, then look at the BB200 charting for it, and you'll pick out just as many songs you hate as you'll pick out on today's list.

I don't really like Billy Eilish either, and 10 years ago I didn't really like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga and One Direction. And I sure as hell do not like whatever song Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears were charting on 20 years ago.

but I can find songs from the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, and etc that are enjoyable. I'm sorry but Billy Ellish, Lil Nash, and mumble emo rappers are complete dog **** IMHO

Honestly a lot is missing from music with the advent of SoundCloud and co.

It used to be like taking a small bit of jelly and hoping it covers the entire sandwhich.. you wanted more and you wanted a better quality of jelly

Nowadays you have an entire jar of jelly on your sandwich and youre looking at the blob like well what did that do then.. I didnt want this much

Theres a niche for everything, but when theres a niche for a niche inside of another niche all it does it separate you into a sphere of yourself.. its like living in your own planet where nothing hurts which is great buuuuuut the inverse theres nothing that stands out or comes out on top.. theres no king of the mound you want to aspire to... theres no one to gawk over and theres no one really worth keeping tabs on because theres always someone new who sounds like them

its like ***ming all the time - why? It just gets boring after awhile to orgasm every single moment of your life

Hey, the numbers speak for themselves.

Sounds like you need to pause, and sit in that corner over there and continue to listen to your Lameatic or wubba dub Cee or whatever it is that you listen to and admit the facts.

Yes there is a lot of bad music on the radio, but some of it is very good, but overplayed (The Weeknd, Taylor Swift). All the pop artists I listed are doing new things with the genre and I doubt you've heard any of it. Stick to your Zeppelin and Floyd, bruh. I'm listening to them too, but I've also got The Replacements, UGK, Devo, and The Cure on that playlist

i wouldnt say it sucks. i still enjoy modern music as background noise when im playing videogames or whatever but i just simply dont really keep up with it or recognise names of songs and stuff as i used to.

music wise i feel like im stuck in pre-2014 era tbh lol. You probably just have different priorities now to be keeping up with stuff like music

Damn you went from life trauma to perception of modern pop music.

In a way you are not wrong, but you might be being a bit trite on some of the bigger issues.
