If you mean popular music, it's worse than ever. If you just mean music as a general medium, it's just as good (if not better) as always.

It's practically impossible to develop it further and you will see an increase in quality over your lifetime once the current pop dies

Which is basically just people singing about whatever they want over whatever big sound they want

I don't actively seek out (modern) music to listen to.

If i happen to stumble upon it, whatever but most of it is whatever to me.

Has it gone downhill, or is it just different than it was when you grew up?

Wicked new music comes out on the daily.

If you can't see that you probably suck and have shitty taste in music.

This. Stop listening to the radio. There's great stuff out there people are unaware of that isnt getting enough praise in all genres.

There's a lot of good music and musicians. People who act like you have to go back several decades to find good music are cringe.

I'd agree that it's gone downhill. Music is subjective though. I can't resonate with modern rap in the same way that I did years ago because lyricism doesn't seem to be as appreciated as it was years ago. The emphasis / focus nowadays seems to be on weak lyricism, choppy flows and regurgitated beats.

As for the current state of music? I keep an open mind, there's a bunch of stuff I like spanning a wide range of genres. I recently started listening to Remi Wolf and I dig her stuff.

When it comes to UK grime / rap, I prefer listening to older stuff. Some new stuff is decent, but I prefer older tracks. English Frank is still one of my favourite artists to this day. Devlin as well.

Well, at least you admitted your bias.

At the end of the day, I'll never demonise people for enjoying things. If people like modern rap / hip hop, more power to them mate.

My take is my own and just my own, I won't ever try to force that mindset on anyone.

Feel free to DM me some tracks to listen to so it doesn't clog up the topic.

I'm open to potentially finding new stuff to listen to, even rap despite my bias. I'm willing to give stuff a try as opposed to being close-minded.

There's an over reliance on sampling imo. The most iconic/memorable part of many modern pop songs are the bits that were taken from older, better songs.

It's not good that the only reason I know who Jack Harlow is is because that Fergie song is stuck in my brain.

Also, lack of instruments and stuff. When's the last time there has been an actual memorable guitar riff in a popular song?

Obviously I'm speaking broadly about pop music. If you dig into the weeds you can always find interesting music from any era.

How is that even possible? You never hear music at the store or at work or at a party or something? Do you leave your house?
