I find contemporary pop music to be unlistenable, and the same goes for modern “classical” music such as “433” by the “composer” John Cage which consists of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. The only decent music being written today is movie music.

I love that one! I’ll listen to it over and over.

A guy did a cover of 4:33 and Cage’s estate sued him. He argued in court that his silence was completely different. I think the judge threw them both out.
