To me, all genres of modern music sound just alike. I couldn’t even begin to tell the difference between any female pop singer, all the rap sounds exactly the same, and I don’t even want to think about modern “country”. I quit listening to new music in 1982.
Modern country songs are so similar that mashups of five or six songs sound like only one song. Something new will come along eventually. Whenever music becomes bland and formulaic, real musicians rebel and start something new. Perhaps musicianship will return.
I am forced to listen to “current” (I think that is what it is) music at my gym.
All i can hear is monotonous computer generated drum pounding, shouting, and chanting. At least grunge imitated or ripped off older music, irritating as it was.
Increasing deafness is a blessing in a few ways.
