Auto tune, rhythms “borrowed” from other songs, whining, repetitive lyrics ... new music sucks.

Pedophile-Pop.

Every singer is intended to sound like a breathless child having an orgasm.

It’s all autotune crap written and produced by corporations.

So much for “natural” these days. Liberals claim they are against corporations, yet, the crap they listen to is nothing but artificial corporate crap.

Sorry, but modern music creativity started before my time in the 50s and really began to develop in the 60s and culminated in the 70s. In my opinion, the 70s was the golden age of modern music creativity. Today almost no musical act can fill arenas all across the country as 70s bands could - and did.

Yes, the millennial whoop is a real thing.

I find it challenging to find interesting new music, but it can be done. But the radio is not the place to find it. The radio plays mindless muzak that no one truly listens to. It’s just a comforting background noise for people. Most of the “hits” today are little more than a throbbing beat with the occasional “wa-oh”.

The music industry is a shadow of what it once was. But apparently the money still flows in somehow.

That first compilation just confirms it was great growing up in the sixties. There was such an enormous variety of music then. Now it’s all homogenized by the producers to sell. What a load of uniform sounding crap.

It’s the “We don’t have the talent to put any words here” whimper.

I like Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, movement 4, and Mozart’s D-minor Mass. Far fewer woo-oahs.

This style has even crept into modern Christian praise songs. I heard it the last time I was at a “contemporary” service.

Yea, that's pretty bad.

However, to give the devils their due, before this latest generation of pop came along with their Whoops, there was yellin' and screamin' in Classic Rock that my Dad thought was just noise. Witness:

Top 10 Screams in Classic Rock

Greatest Rock Screams

Further, as I've said elsewhere on FR, there IS really good, contemporary music out there - check out Greta Van Fleet, Royal Blood, Ty Segal, Kaiser Chiefs, or Sabaton. You have to LOOK for it, but it's out there.

If you're lazy...Google it, or listen to XM Radio channels other than Classic Vinyl or Classic Rewind (maybe Underground Garage is my choice to find good, new stuff).

If you're not lazy, I encourage people to go to a local bar and catch 5-6 bands for $10. Yea, some of the bands will such but you'll hear an act or two that renews your faith that Rock Isn't Dead. Maybe you'll plunk down $10 for a CD or tshirt and encourage the little whippers to keep on keeping on.

And remember...if it's too loud, you're too old.

I quit listening to pop music about the time the Beatles came along.
To this day I cannot stand the screaming, screeching, and moaning crap that passes for singing.
I tell people I shared a labor room with a woman that sounded like that once, and that once was enough.

I’ve got three stations near me that all play 70’s and some 80’s retro rock and R&B. Actual music sung by actual musicians.

I used to enjoy country but most of it is just pure pablum now.

The 90’s saw the last great resurgence of music. Since 2000, almost nothing produced is listenable. There are some wonderful exceptions, but by and large, the music died 1/1/2000 or just before.

Everything cycles in life, so at some point the music industry will be so bankrupted, something will take its place and there will be a new resurgence of good music. I don’t know when that will come. It is a long time coming now.

One of the things I like about metal is that there are so many varieties of it that either have no roots in pop music or have made a clean break from pop music. These types generally get zero air play, but can be found on the internet (Bandcamp and YouTube).

Listening to the band Suffocation is a good cure for this problem.

Thanks for posting this. Now I have a name for this phenomenon. My wife and I just called them “oh-oh-oh” songs. This is comparable to the tendency of urban artists to cram about 40 different warbly notes in a measure that was meant for 4. I could never figure out how to describe this until I heard one of my local conservative talk show hosts call it “urban yodeling”. That definitely hit it on the head for me and gave me a phrase I can refer to when I hear it. I will be using “millenial whoop” for this occurence from now on.
