I think you're just confusing nostalgia with things being better. You're getting older and of course music you listened to at a more impressionable age has a bigger effect on your tastes. In general every generation has a time when they start complaining everything is going to hell.

Yeah I guess you’re kinda right, but I’m not the type to just hate something just because it’s not from my time, it’s just the music is genuinely bad.

Some of it is bad-good, but most of it is bad-bad.

Rarely listen to terrestrial radio. Listened to the local pop station the other day and three new songs in a row used samples from 80’s songs that have been already heavily used before. There’s very little talent or innovation in that genre anymore.

I genuinely think it’s because you’re just not looking in the right places. Now pop music that has mass radio appeal? Yeah that’s going to shift depending on the culture and you’re not always going to like it, but, if you’re looking for music that sounds similar to 2010s sonically you absolutely can still find it out there. Just like you can find Nu Metal or Ska around still.

That's were you're very wrong, the pop music back in 2010-2015 was THE BEST, the music now really sucks ass cheeks it's because of black people and tiktok for sure
