Because it sucks?
“
Rap rhymes with crap for a reason. So much new music isn’t music at all.
I think that I’m much more open minded. But the VAST MAJORITY of 21st Century “popular” music is crap. The audio equivalent of overprocessed soy.
About one piece of modern music every few years is listenable IMO; one every five years will wind up in my playlist.
So, let me explain: Older music has a melody, and pleasant sounds. The lyrics were understandable and usually pleasant. Modern music is largely "bitching to bass". It has no melody, and mostly spews hate and anger. It sounds harsh.
Any other questions?
Damn right it sucks!
Because it sucks and you are right on target! You can usually judge the mood of a population by the music common people listen to and what we hear now is pretty much nothing but disjointed jive and noise. Not to mention that in the past you could at least remember a tune as it may have stuck with you, but today hardly. Where are the days of Moody Blues, The Beatles or Pink Floyd etc. The sounds we hear today is pretty much a reflection of what’s going in government, and we see on the street of big cities, nothing but mayhem and discord.
“Because it sucks?”
Absolutely. I can’t stand rap (ghetto music) nor the insipid lyrics that passes for music nowdays.

When there are JUNGLE DRUMS in the back beat, bitches/hoes in the lyrics, and "break dancing" (is that even dancing?) then it's just monkey jumping!
Why did anyone bother to post after this truth?
