Most mainstream music is crappy across all genres.
Was just thinking that too.
My SiriusXM subscription is one bill I look forward to paying, because it provides me with a nearly infinite number of alternatives to the crap that passes for popular music these days.
We have access to thousands of bands and artists. The programming of big labels just no longer can create a quality slate of “superstars”.
I’m not even sure who Ed Sheeran is.
Lady GaGa was the last person I’ve ever really found in the pop world to have made at least some catchy songs, and that was 10 years ago.
