When did music videos get so hilarious?

New music is crap*

That's all there is to it.

*Exceptions exist

All part of a grander marketing plan that started at the awards show. It goes back to "as long as people are talking".

Yep, it scares me that most the music I like is considered classic, but with music I prefer vocal talent, not t&a...

Two years ago I took my son and school friends to a Swift concert, I swear she sounded lie a dying dog, but the kids loved her.

As I've said, great music went out with big hair.

Funny thing about all this; my argument would be that the popular music barometer has read -10 since the first troubadour squawked out the first drinking tune in the tavern. It is all a relative thing. I could easily launch into scathing diatribes about Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Chubby Checker, Bill Hailey and the Comets, Muddy Waters or whatever your vernacular performer(s) of choice are. Would it lessen your love of them? Probably not. Would it frustrate me to no end that the people I am lecturing will not appreciate art as I see fit? Absolutely. And so I have found it best for everybody, including myself, if I just let people like what they want to like and I save my diatribe for the lecture hall.

Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
