I've noticed that the younger generation seem to like music with really nonsensical lyrics.

Like, it went from overly-literal and cringey in the boomer generation, to "unless it's some generic pop song you've got to think about it a little bit but you can see what the point is" in ours, and now the next is just word salad.

Is the next literally gonna be just randomly-generated words that aren't even grammatical? Or even further, are we gonna find out Adiemus were really ahead of their time, maybe?

I kinda feel like younger generations are less interested or appreciative of older music or at least it seems that way. I'm sure it's probably just old man bias on my part though.

I've noticed that younger people tend to only listen to things that were directly marketed to them.
I lost track of how many times I've heard, that was before my time.

Also, the music tends to be lame, boring, and anemic.
Ironically a lot of seems to be trying to cover a sound that has been done before much better.
~Generally speaking, of course.

Nah, I'd agree with you there, both in terms of how younger people often view the music I like, and in terms of how I view music that even older people tend to like. Styles change over time; people tend to like things at least similar to what they grew up with. It's almost expected tbh that people won't like most of what the last generation did; though there's always those that were ahead of their time, or just so damn good they transcend this.

The funny thing is that even Tim Henson acknowledged that if people don't start doing more creative things with guitars, it wont remain popular in modern music. And he's right.

I think the guitar is a wonderful instrument, but people picking it up because they want to shred like Slash or Herman Li aren't doing anything to actually innovate with the instrument.

It's why synthesizers and drum machines quickly became a dominant force, I think; they were uncharted territory, and all the music sounded new and innovative

I don't know if zoomers have as many "born in the wrong generation" types, but those people were always viewed as lame by their millennial/gen x peers back in their respective generations. I guess the difference was that they still had their own newer types of rock, and now mainstream rock is like Imagine Dragons which I'm not sure speaks to any type of generational audience. They are popular somehow, but everyone says they hate them

No, it's not that I'm getting old, it that the music sucks.
Even if I didn't like everything on the radio in the 90's it generally inspired, and I didn't hate it visurally.
What passes for 'Adult Alternative' now is a complete bore-fest.

"It was a perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect....." is lame
The wester sun song, is a snooze fest.
There are others but I try not to think about them when I am not at work.

~Anway, I learned to take over the radio station, and I would everyone seems happier for it.

That completely has nothing to do with it.
It's just that most of the radio fodder is lame as shit now.

I listen to music from Waaay before 'MY time'

This seems to like the watered-down, American Idol class of music, where 'sounding like you are good' is confused with being good.
